Overview of the Application Human Factors Guidance to Control Room Design.

DE2005835555

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Yondola, P. R.; Karlewicz, G. T.
Page Count	12
Abstract	A new power plant design has the goal of making major improvements in cost and ease of operation over previous designs. Improvements in the way information is organized and presented to control room operators based on established Human Factors Engineering (HFE) criteria is key to achieving these goals. An overview of the process and methods being employed in an ongoing design effort will be discussed, including the ways in which current Human Factors guidance is being applied in a unique operating environment.
