Abstract
Computer-based procedures (CBP) are widely used in advanced nuclear power plant (NPP). In order to improve operators’ performance and decrease the probability of human errors, several different CBP interface layouts have been provided by previous studies. However, there has been little research discussing the information quantity that present on the CBP interface. This study is to examine operator performance in using computerized procedures from an information quantity point of view. A simulated CBP system was developed to present three different information present styles, each with different task complexity. The results indicated that medium information quantity of CBP interface was better than other level of information quantity.
