Human engineering guide for enhancing nuclear control rooms. [PWR; BWR]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5236813
The primary objective of this project was to develop near-term human engineering approaches, that is, those which can be implemented while the plant is operating or during a planned shutdown, for enhancing existing nuclear control rooms. Primary data for the Guide was collected during site visits to four pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants representing a mix of Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) vendors and architects/engineers. Structured interviews, checklists, walkthroughs/talkthroughs, surveys, and task analyses were used. Data on boiling water reactors (BWRs) were collected in a meeting with representatives of the BWR Owners Group. All enhancement approaches were reviewed extensively with cognizant industry representatives for feasibility and acceptability before being including in the Guide.
