The theme of this workshop, held in Charlotte, United States on 19-21 February 2015, was “Establishing Reasonable Confidence in the Human Factors Validation of Main Control Room Systems of Nuclear Power Plants”, with three objectives:
Critically examine preliminary and final (integrated) validation activities to better understand their strengths, limitations, and potential inter-relationships with respect to the technical and practical considerations for achieving reasonable confidence in nuclear power plant control room designs and modifications.
Identify recommended practices, potential solutions, and available technical bases for addressing current limitations.
