Plant Equipment

With the combination of increased demand for electric power and advancing age of operating equipment in nuclear power plants, is more important than ever to monitor the condition of plant operation. There are many factors to monitor in nuclear power plant equipment condition. However, one that is frequently overlooked is thermal performance. Often this is an area where plant personnel can find “low hanging fruit” with great return on investment. Often thermal performance analysis can discover better methods to maintain critical plant equipment resulting in more efficient outage activities. Plants also benefit from increasing their operators’ awareness of the importance of thermal performance monitoring to find lost power generation. This paper will discuss proven methods to track, trend, and prioritize thermal performance issues in order to reduce the time from the occurrence of a loss to recovery.

A new model of the visual search process is developed which can improve the design of large symbol sets such as those used by nuclear power plant personnel, air traffic controllers, and battlefield troops. An experiment was conducted to determine whether the new, componential model or an already existing, discriminability model better explains visual search behavior. The results were consistent with the componential model. We show how to use the componential model to help automate selection of the optimal symbol set (i.e., the symbol set that minimizes the average time to find a target).

This work is the second phase of a three-part project to enhance diagnostic-related training for nuclear power plant technicians and operators. A computer-based simulation was conceptualized, developed, and demonstrated in cooperation with training and engineering personnel from a large southeastern utility. The design process, finished product, and evaluation plan are discussed.

Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant

Appropriate protective measures are required to ensure the evacuation of staff to a safe area under the conditions of a potential impact on a nuclear power plant by dangerous fire factors. The article analyzes possible fire scenarios in one of the buildings of the Leningrad nuclear power plant. An approach to assessing the effectiveness of the use of protective equipment for nuclear power plant personnel during a fire is considered.
