The power industry has seen a continuous growth of size and complexity of nuclear power plants. Accompanying these changes have been extensive regulatory requirements resulting in significant construction, operation and maintenance costs. In response to related concerns raised by industry members. Combustion Engineering developed the NUPLEX 80 advanced control room. The goal of NUPLEX 80/sup TM/ is to: reduce design and construction costs; increase plant safety and availability through improvements in the man-machine interface; and reduce maintenance costs. This paper provides an overview of the NUPLEX 80 advanced control room and explains how the stated goals are achieved.
