Creation of Interface System for Nuclear Reactor Operation

Abstract

Present status of on going JAERI's research project aiming at empirical evaluation of the EID concept is described. The research project is proceeded with three consecutive steps: design and implementation of the interface system, verification, and validation of the interface on a full-scope reactor simulator. Following detailed analysis of system structure in a way of “walking-through” the operation procedure on the simulator, a new interface system was created on this. In the newly created interface system, sets of graphical display formats representing higher levels of information items and new navigation mechanism were introduced to cope with complex nature of reactor system. At present, verification work for this new interface system is being conducted.
