Title: Measuring Human Performance in Simulated Nuclear Power Plant Control Rooms Using Eye Tracking

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1261061· OSTI ID:1261061

Control room modernization will be an important part of life extension for the existing light water reactor fleet. As part of modernization efforts, personnel will need to gain a full understanding of how control room technologies affect performance of human operators. Recent advances in technology enables the use of eye tracking technology to continuously measure an operator’s eye movement, which correlates with a variety of human performance constructs such as situation awareness and workload. This report describes eye tracking metrics in the context of how they will be used in nuclear power plant control room simulator studies.
