N2 - Next generation nuclear power plants will take advantage of the recent advances in computers and instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies. The migration to digital technologies, advanced instrumentation and monitoring techniques, automation, and onboard intelligence will drive the concept of plant operations into a new realm. The incorporation of large-scale hydrogen production in conjunction with or in lieu of electricity production adds an entirely new level of complexity, control, and safety issues. Beyond nuclear reactor plant control, human performance in the midst of these technologies raises issues in many areas of supervisory command and control. Human performance research, with the complementary goals to increase safety and reduce sources of human error, is required for these technologies to be optimally utilized. This paper discusses the issues raised at the First Workshop on Human Performance in Advanced Control Rooms, held April 6-7, 2004, in Seattle, Washington. The issues presented serve as a roadmap for future research on human performance in advanced control room designs.
