Abstract :
The authors describe the testing of the emergency operating procedures tracking system (EOPTS). Specifically, they consider the measurement of the responses of nuclear power plant control room crews when exposed to accident sequences on plant simulators both with and without the tracking system. They discuss the emergency operating procedures, the software characteristics, the implementation at the simulator, the bases for performance measurement, and their approach to the experiments.<>
