Summary:Recent trends in advanced control room (ACR) design are considered with respect to their impact on operating crew performance and human reliability. Related to ACR evolution is the wide range of technological approaches to human-system interfaces (HSI). Precursors are considered with respect to the ACR trends identified which are automation and KSI design. While ACR design may impact human performance and human error, the effect of human error on plant safety must be evaluated. The difficulties of quantifying this relationship are addressed. Several issues impacting the conduct of human reliability analysis for advanced reactors are considered.< >
