' l l A tracking system is used to address human factors issues that are known to the industry j l and/or identified throughout the life cycle of the human factors engineering / human system 1 j l interfaces design, development, and evaluation. The tracking system enables the )
j i documentation and tracking of issues that need to be addressed at some later date.
! l
{ l Tracking of human factors engineering issues is accomplished within the framework of the l l l overall plant design process. In this manner, human factors engineering issues are addressed d i in the same way as those for other disciplines.
! i l l The design issues tracking system database is used to track AP600 design issues to resolution, ;
- l including human factors engineering issues. This database receives input from the following l j l three sources
! I I I . Operating experience review I
- Design issues associated with the design of the man-machine interface / human s)
. I interface and the operations and control centers system l
1 For each design issue entered into the database, the actions taken to address the issue an I final resolution of the issue are documented.
i I j l The human factors issues in the operating experience review report (Reference 1) tha j l identified as rt quiring further consideration by the AP600 design are entered into the de t
I issues tracking system database.
- I l "Ihe design review process also provides input to the design issues tracking system database.
I For each design issue identified through the design review process, an action item is initiated.
I Action items.are entered into the design issues tracking system database. Human factors I action items from design reviews are included in the database. For preliminary and I intermediate design reviews, some action items may be deferred to a more appropriate, l subsequent design review. The responsibility of entering design review action items into the i design issues tracking system database is assigned to the manager responsible for the system I reviewed.
l l Human factors engineering design issues directly associated with the AP600 human system I interfaces and the operations and control centers system (such as the main control room, I remote shutdown facility, and technical support center) are entered into the design issues I tracking system database. These are design issues that are identified by the human system Revision: 9 T Westinghouse 18.2-17 August 9,1996

This test will be perfomed in the high-fidelity simulator at Waltz .
Type of Materials:
The test will be performed using physical displays and possibly function; i displays for the plant simulated in the high-fidelity simulator at Waltz Mill. He displays AP600-specific, will be representative of the AP600 Functional Requirements for Performance Measures:
To assess the performance issues, the following will be recorded:
Whether the information is located Response times The navigation path taken to get to the target display he navigation path length to get to the target information will be compared to the oprim path identified a priori by the designer.
In addition, subjective judgments will be elicited from the participants regarding the adequ display coding conventions and navigation mechanism f6 ap; 3en Ad g[4 Outcome:
his test will assess the adequacy of the AP600 Functional Requirements for display coding and navigation.

l The human system interface includes the design of the' operation and control centers (operation I and control centers). The design of each of thek Eontrol centers is conducted using the l l
1 human system interface implementation plan presented in subsection 18.8.1. The mission for 1 each of the operation and control centers in the AP600 is provided in the next eight subsec-I tions. Coupled with each mission statement is a brief description of the major tasks and I design features that are supported by that center. l- '

The main control room supports I the operator's decision-making process, and promotes the interaction with other plant I personnel, while preventing distractions by non-operating personnel. The main control room I provides the interfacing resources between the operation of the plant and the maintenance of I the plant.
