Abstract
The advanced Alarm System (AS) employs modem digital technology to implement the alarm functions of the NPP(Nuclear Power Plant). The use of modem digital technology can provide advanced alarm processing in which new algorithms such as a signal validation, advanced alarm processing logic and other features are applied to improve the control room man-machine interfaces. This paper will describe the design process of the AS of NPP, improving the system reliability and availability using the reliability prediction tool, design strategies regarding the human performance topics associated with a computer-based AS and the results of the performance analysis using a prototype of the AS.
