An integrated general-purpose software system, POBSYS, has been developed that provides the foundation and tools for building a highly interactive system for carrying out detailed operating procedures and performing conventional process control, data acquisition, and data management functions. Features of the present system, which may be of particular interest to the problem of the man-machine interface include: (a) a multi-level safety system for fail-safe operation; (b) hierarchical operational control; (c) documented responsibility; (d) equipment status tracking; and (e) quality assurance checks on operations. The system runs on commercially available microprocessors and is presently in use in the destructive analysis of irradiated fuel rods from the Light Water Breeder Reactor.
