Description

The Emergency Response Guidelines (ERG) applied to PWR plants in Japan provide control room operating crews (herein referred as operators) with technical guidance for response at emergency transients for reliable and safe operations. ERG consists of event-related (scenario-based) procedures and function-related (symptom-based) procedures, which are designed to maintain Critical Safety Functions (CSF). Furthermore, it was found important to develop tools which support operators' decision-making process and improve man-machine interface in order to reduce their workload and potential human errors at a time of accidents when they lend to be overloaded. The utilities and vendors of Japanese parts have cooperated for the development of Function-related Emergency Operator Support System (F-EOSS), which provide useful and pertinent information lo operators when they are required to switch from event-related procedures to function-related ones. F-EOSS has been validated, and the plan to adopt the system for practical use is studied
