A Study on an Evaluation Method for Human/System Interface of Advanced Supervisory Control Systems in Nuclear Power Plant

신형 원자력발전소 감시제어체계의 인간/체계 인터페이스 평가 방법에 관한 연구

The design of nuclear control room is advancing toward totally computer based human system interfaces (HSI). Computer based interfaces offer the opportunity to provide improved support of operator performance, but if not properly deployed, can introduce new challenges. This paper reviews the Westinghouse AP-600 Human Factors Verification and Validation Plan selected for HSI evaluation model of Korea next generation nuclear control rooms. The AP-600 HSI evaluation model addressed 15 evaluation issues considering major activity class of operator and task complexity factors. This paper also describes the test procedures experimenters should follow to evaluate the addressed issues.
