Abstract
This paper presents findings from two large scale simulator test series
which were carried out in the Finnish NPPs. Altogether 18 professional
operating crews took part in the experiments and each of them conducted
three scenarios at the training simulator of the respective plant. The
studies provide evidence on how well-trained operating crews actually manage
accident and incident situations in a hybrid control room. The tests were
organized in order to have a solid reference in the possible future
validation efforts regarding the human factors in the modernization of
automation and control room systems. The systems usability (SU) evaluation
framework has been developed to understand the role of tools in complex
activity. In this paper, we describe the test results of these reference
tests for the two plants: both, separately and by comparing the findings of
the two cases using the SU framework
