Human factors engineering control room design review/audit report: Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1, Mississippi Power and Light Company

Technical Report · Tue Jun 30 00:00:00 EDT 1981

Smith, J P

A human factors engineering preliminary design review of the Grand Gulf Unit 1 control room was performed at the site on June 8 through June 12, 1981. Observed human factor design discrepancies were given a priority rating of one to three (high, moderate, low), based on the increased potential for operator error and the possible consequences of that error. Priority rating 1 and 2 discrepancies should be corrected prior to issuance of an operating license. Priority rating 3 discrepancies should be evaluated and proposed actions reported as part of the long term design review (due one year from the issue date of NUREG-0700). A list of human factors strengths observed in the Grand Gulf Unit 1 control room is given at the end of the ten major sections of this report. This list includes those features that the review team felt enhanced the operator interface with the control room. Finally, a list of those items that could not be evaluated is presented.
