What will the control room of the future look like? How are MCR modernization design decisions made? How are the design process and objectives different for small modular reactors vs. existing power plants that are modernizing to support subsequent license renewal and extended operation into 80 years? Come hear several leaders discuss the Human Factors decisions and considerations that were key to their main control room design and modernization efforts. Hear about advances in Human Factors engineering and how the programs are changing to support modern human machine interfaces associated with digital controls. Hear about the challenges with integrating new controls in an existing plant, modern alarm management, and the challenges of training a new generation of operators in a hybrid control room.
