Abstract

As small modular reactors (SMRs) and various computerized operating support systems have been developed, visual display unit(VDU)-based multifunctional consoles have been proposed. The more a console depends on VDUs, the more human system interface (HSI) designers need to consider the decrease in the human performance caused by the effect of navigation tasks. This paper proposes a widget-based alarm recognition and management support interface system to increase the operator’s ability to recognize alarms and to manage alarm-related tasks by reducing additional and excessive navigation tasks. With a small display screen, the system provides operators with quick and accurate access to alarm-related information and allows them to make corrective responses.

Highlights

  • This paper proposes an alarm recognition and management

  • In a study on the cause of human errors that occur in a digitalized main control rooms (MCRs), the task of navigating was pointed out as the second highest human error factor [1,2,3]

  • ALARM DISPLAY SYSTEMS IN NPPS To design the graphic user interface (GUI) of the proposed interface system, we analyzed the characteristics of the existing alarm display

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Accurate response, and improve the human operators’ performance. THE change from analogue-based information display panels in the main control rooms (MCRs) in Nuclear. Power Plants (NPPs) to digital-based visual display units (VDUs) has brought accompanying changes in the operating environment and operators’ tasks. VDUs and various computerized operating support systems provide an enormous amount of information and facilitate operators’ performance of their monitoring and control tasks. Displaying a large amount of information on the. With the development of small modular reactors (SMRs) and various computerized operating support systems, the concept
