Abstract :
New control room technologies offer the opportunity, as a result, provide improved support of operator performance. Existing human factors guidelines lag behind the changes in technology and, as a result, provide limited guidance. As part of an effort to develop a verification and validation plan, a framework has been developed for defining critical human performance issues that need to be addressed as part of the design and evaluation of nuclear power plant advanced control rooms. The evaluation framework, together with some of the important human performance issues that may need to be addressed, is described. The issues identified help define a research agenda.<>
