Abstract

New methods of information presentation and interface design are changing the conditions for work in the modern nuclear power plant (NPP) control room. One area receiving considerable attention is that of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP), which play an essential role in NPPs. This paper presents the results of a project which made consistent use of cognitive engineering and cognitive ergonomics principles to specify a prototype system for computerized procedure presentation in a NPP. The system is scheduled for completion and field evaluation in the summer of 1995.
