Evaluation of proposed control room improvements through analysis of critical operator decisions. Final report
Description
Decision making by nuclear power plant operators was studied in the context of four recent off-normal events in order to assess the potential impact of various control room improvements and innovations. Categories of improvements considered in the study included proposed changes in staff organization and training, controls and displays, and computerized support systems. The evaluation methodology involved judgments by a panel of experts regarding the benefits of proposed improvements for specific operator decisions. It also included the explication of a model of operator decision making and an analysis in terms of this model of how each improvement could help prevent or resolve decision-making errors
