The human-system interface (HSI) plays a vital role in the operation of a nuclear power plant. To ensure a human factors engineered advanced control room HSI design in support of reliable and safe operation of the plant, Taiwan Power Company has incorporated elements of the HFE Program Review Model (HFE PRM), prescribed in NUREG-0711 [1], into the HFE program for its Lungmen Nuclear Power Project. At present, the control room HSI design is undergoing verification and validation. Although NUREG/CR-6393[2] has introduced review criteria and methodology for integrated system validation, these criteria and methodology need to be elaborated for proper implementation. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of suitable performance evaluation tools to be used to collect objective task performance measures, cognitive measures, as well as physical measures for HFE validation for the Lungmen project.
