<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>Course</strong> (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety<br />

Special attention shall be given to identify<strong>in</strong>g those events, both <strong>in</strong>ternal and external to<br />

the control room, which may pose a direct threat to its cont<strong>in</strong>ued operation, and the<br />

design shall provide for reasonably practicable measures to m<strong>in</strong>imize the effects of such<br />

events.<br />

The layout of the <strong>in</strong>strumentation and the mode of presentation of <strong>in</strong>formation shall<br />

provide the operat<strong>in</strong>g personnel with an adequate overall picture of the status and<br />

performance of the plant. Ergonomics shall be taken <strong>in</strong>to account <strong>in</strong> the design of the<br />

control room.<br />

Devices shall be provided to give, <strong>in</strong> an efficient way, visual and if appropriate, also<br />

audible <strong>in</strong>dications of operational conditions and processes that have deviated from<br />

normal and could affect safety.<br />

Supplementary control room<br />

Sufficient <strong>in</strong>strumentation and control equipment shall be available, preferably at a s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />

location (supplementary control room) that is physically and electrically separate from<br />

the control room, so that the reactor can be placed and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> a shut down state,<br />

residual heat can be removed, and the essential plant variables can be monitored should<br />

there be a loss of ability to perform these essential safety functions <strong>in</strong> the control room.<br />

Use of computer based systems <strong>in</strong> systems important to safety<br />

If the design is such that a system important to safety is dependent upon the reliable<br />

performance of a computer based system, appropriate standards and practices for the<br />

development and test<strong>in</strong>g of computer hardware and software shall be established and<br />

implemented throughout the life cycle of the system, and <strong>in</strong> particular, the software<br />

development cycle. The entire development shall be subject to an appropriate quality<br />

assurance programme.<br />
