“…INL's role in these projects has been to ensure that human considerations are integrated into all phases of system design, development, operation, and maintenance [6], [7]. This is a systems approach to human factors integration that provides the human performance information necessary for engineering design and development processes before the project starts.…”

“…The research project was concluded in September 2015 with guidelines and examples for the preparation of an Operational Concept Document for an AdvNPP (Hugo & Farris, 2015). A generic sodium fast reactor was chosen as a model for this report, due to the relative maturity of this particular design, but the general principles can be applied to the development of any system.…”

Advanced nuclear power plants currently being designed are characterized by structural, functional and operational features that are uncommon in the current generation of plants worldwide. Due to the long worldwide hiatus in the development of new nuclear power plants most of these issues and the implications of new operational concepts have never been evaluated in detail. This paper is a summary of the results of a four-year project at the Idaho National Laboratory to develop a systematic process to analyze the operational requirements of new plants. The paper describes a method to produce reliable information for the design of robust and resilient systems that allow dynamic collaboration between operators and plant systems. It also provides examples of the application of this method to the development of an operational concept for advanced nuclear power plants, with examples from sodium fast reactors (SFRs).

There is an expansion of nuclear power plant control room simulator use beyond traditional operator training. Modern simulator designs require more robust capabilities to serve the diverse needs of multiple user groups including researchers and educators. A common framework for evaluating simulator features to support training, research, and education is critical to ensure future simulators enable research for immediate and future plant modernization and advanced reactor deployment needs. An initial framework comprised of 8 feature categories was developed by reviewing published simulator-based research and analyzing simulator features against research objectives and results. Future research will focus on evaluating the suitability of this framework in characterizing and differentiating simulators across training, research, and education use cases.
