Roscoe, B J

This report describes the status of a research project directed toward nuclear power plant alarm prioritization. Criteria for modified alarm activation are being developed and studied. Also being developed are measures to regulate the alarm rate at some desired level. The problem of alarm prioritization based upon maintenance of critical safety functions while maintaining complete alarm coverage of accidents is being addressed. The plant information needed to support the associated technical development areas is being compiled for a specific plant, categorized, and entered into a computer data base. Near term recommendations for regulatiory action on plant annunciator systems are presented.
