Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has contracted IFE to support human factors research to understand how to perform control room modernizations in a manner that maintains or improves human and overall system performance. The US Nuclear industry and in particular several utilities are currently moving forward with a Main Control Room (MCR) modernization projects or future projects to replace current analogue systems with digital. The focus of the current project was to look at different interface platforms and different ways to present information to the interface end user, the plant operator. IFE’s focus was to develop digital soft controls HSI for the Generic Pressurized Water Reactor (gPWR) and a Larger Screen Display (LSD) to support the Control Room Operators. The IFE Advanced Control Room is a combination of the digital soft controls HSI and the LSD that provides a unique opportunity for testing in the HSSL at Idaho National Laboratory.
