This article describes the development of important computerized operator support systems in the Federal Republic of Germany with an emphasis on their safety aspects. Because of the substantial enhancement in automation to handle nuclear incidents and accidents, the number of instrumentation and control systems has increased. The increase necessitates improved information processing and presentation to make automatic actions transparent to the operator. This article describes in some detail the most important German development in this field: the computerized graphics process information system PRINS. This advanced operator support will have a strong influence on new control-room design and will fit into future control rooms with video display units. 15 refs.
