Abstract

An operator aid technology to assist nuclear plant operators maintain situation awareness and detect faults earlier than would be possible using conventional control room technologies is described. Coined the Computerized Operator Support System (COSS), this technology is aimed at the human-machine interface. The COSS has been implemented as a prototype system operating in the control room environment of a full-scale simulator for a commercial nuclear power plant. A human factors assessment that involved two licensed reactor crews was performed to evaluate crew performance. This paper describes the development of the COSS, the underlying fault-detection architecture, and feedback received based on operator-in-the-loop studies.
