This paper reports on an integrated operator decision aid (IODA) system utilizing computers and cathode-ray tube (CRT) display devices developed by focusing attention on the importance of the operator's role in a nuclear power plant. The developmental objective of this IODA is to improve safety, reliability, and the quality of nuclear power plant operation by helping operators handle abnormal plant conditions. The IODA can help operators quickly and easily understand a plant situation and take appropriate measures during abnormalities. It will also alleviate the burden on operators, thus reducing the potential for judgmental and operational errors in various plant operating modes.
