초록

The system performance of Engineered Safety Features is of utmost importance in a nuclear power plant. The human performance is identified as most critical to assurance of the optimal operability of safety systems during an emergency. The aim of this study is to determine how the performance of safety system could be evaluated using Augmented Reality technology. The paper presents a description of how a systems engineered approach could be used to develop the necessary operating conditions needed to conduct this measurement. Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) interface technology is achieving ease of availability and widespread use in many applications today as illustrated by the launch of several AR and VR devices aimed at media consumption. As such, environments that incorporate such AVR hardware have become invaluable tools in designing human interface systems because of the high fidelity and intuitive response to natural human interaction that can be achieved [2]. The outcome of the measurement undertaken is to determine whether 1.) Operator(s) performance can be enhanced by introducing an improved cognitive method of monitoring plant information during an Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) and 2.) In correlation, inform the performance of the diverse safety systems on the basis of human factors.
