Abstract The nuclear safety video display unit (SVDU) in the nuclear safety level DCS implements functions such as displaying and warning of reactor safety related parameters and sending safety control instructions, which belongs to safety level 1 equipment. As a high-cost complex safety level display device, due to its high functional complexity, high security and reliability requirements, and special usage scenarios, its design, research, and function verification have always encountered problems such as low intelligence and low digitization, resulting in slow development process, complicated product function verification, and inconvenient use and training, etc. After the SVDU is put into practical use, continuous analysis of its stability, reliability, and safety, and its health status monitoring and maintenance are also difficult technical problems. Based on the five-dimensional digital twin model as a design benchmark, a digital twin-based design method for SVDU is proposed. Taking the SVDU in a nuclear safety level DCS (NASPIC) as the object, the digital twin technology is adopted to model the physical objects such as display unit, human-machine interface unit, storage unit and communication network unit, and the high-speed industrial Ethernet network is used to map and interconnect the data between the components, so as to realize the physical fusion, model fusion and data fusion of the real SVDU and the virtual SVDU. With the help of data feedback from safety level DCS, the data, symbol display and control process of SVDU can be visualized and analyzed in virtual environment, and the real-time control function verification, fault early warning and auxiliary decision-making can be carried out, which improves the visibility, accessibility, operability and predictability of real SVDU display and control process. The real-time data, historical data, fault self-diagnosis data, and expert experience of real SVDU and virtual SVDU are incorporated into the twin data pool to reproduce the variable-speed replay of the historical operation process of SVDU and realize the post-accident condition analysis with multiple spatiotemporal dimensions; the record and analysis of self-fault diagnosis data provides the possibility of stability analysis services such as clock, power supply, human-machine input, and storage equipment, etc. Digital twin-based SVDU technology can ensure rapid development and iteration of products under the requirements of complex functions and high safety and reliability, and truly reproduce the display and control effects of SVDU, while meeting users’ multiple application scenarios and data service requirements.

This paper discusses an experience of training in ergonomic work analysis (EWA). Two ergonomists of the National Institute for Research on Working Conditions (INRCT, in French) trained a group of employees in the Brussels plant of a multinational company. This training took place after having checked about fifty VDU (video display unit) workplaces. None of these 50 VDU users was aware of the possibilities of adjusting his or her specific workplace. The manager and the union decided to train one or two persons in each department, to enable them to answer minor questions of their unit's employees relating to adjusting their own workplace. It was agreed that more difficult problems raised by the employees would be transferred to external experts. The paper seeks to analyse the impact of this experience on the VDU workers: are they able to change their working conditions? What exactly did change? To conclude, some conditions necessary for the success of such training programmes are highlighted.

A method is described for the non-destructive, non-invasive, detection of shell lesions in the New Zealand paua, a marine gastropod Haliotis iris using diagnostic radiology. The X-ray method reliably detected the presence of shell lesions in 96% of the cases examined once lesion dimensions exceeded 6.2 × 7.1 mm. The extent of lesions above this size can be reliably and accurately determined from X-ray images viewed on a video display unit (VDU). Biofouling on the outside of the shell can cause misdiagnoses. This method is a significant animal welfare refinement in the identification of marine gastropods with shell lesions, when compared with traditional techniques which kill the animals.

A system for the on-line computerisation of anaesthetic records using a computer bureau is described. The requirements of the system are a keyboard and video display unit appropriately linked to the bureau's computer. The system was cheap and easy to install. It required no programming expertise from department members. Disadvantages included the need to change between two screens for data entry, a delay of over 8 months before satisfactory reports materialised for individuals or the department, congestion at peak times for data entry, excessive time spent on data entry, reluctance of the bureau to alter the format of the screens once they had been generated. The cost of the system is felt to be justified by the information provided for both accreditation requirements and for department management.
