Design Trends

The most significant, and consistent design trend evident from the questionnaire responses is the concentration of the presented designs or concepts in the 300 MW(e) size range. 12 out of 23 designs are for power plants near 300 MW(e) output.

An emphasis on a reduced construction schedule. This is evident in many proposals, and is a principal theme of the Rolls Royce and CANDU designs.

Computerization of procedures in nuclear industry seems to be a design trend as shown in Table 1. Spurgin et al. (1993) described an overview of many computer-based procedure system. Now many nuclear power plants (e.g, Beznau, Chooz B, Civaux, Temelin) use various t) es of computer-based procedure(CBP) system. The driving forces include the limit of paper-based procedure(PBP) presentation ways, including lack of interactive capabilities between PBP and sophisticated systems, and the high volume and cost associated with paper manuals used in complex and technically demanding environments. (Wourms and Rankin, 1994)... 

From the literature survey of design and evaluation documents and an informal study, we found that CBP is a design trend and can support and enhance operator performance effectively. However there exist a few open issues too. That is why the designers need to implement CBP system thoughtfully. This paper addressed five issues for the review of the CPS for safe plant operation, but we will not limit to the review issues that are listed here. This paper also described the preliminary evaluation results. That is, we are on the long way of safety review.
