SUMMARY:A Level-of-Automation Testbed for Nuclear Power Plants
DESCRIPTION:Ronald Boring (Idaho National Laboratory), Roger Lew (Universi
 ty of Idaho), and Thomas Ulrich and Jooyoung Park (Idaho National Laborato
 ry)\n\nDue to increased demand for electricity, the United States is poise
 d to significantly increase its nuclear power capacity for the first time 
 in decades. With the advent of new nuclear power plants (NPPs) comes the o
 pportunity to deploy new technologies. New concepts of operations may feat
 ure human-system concepts like advanced information visualization, artific
 ial intelligence (AI) for prognostics and operator support, remote operati
 ons, reduced staffing, and increased use of automation. This paper present
 s a new levels-of-automation testbed in the form of a nuclear power simula
 tor that can vary those tasks performed automatically vs. manually by oper
 ators. This testbed fills an important research gap generally in systemati
 c ways to manipulate levels of automation. It also specifically provides k
 ey safety validation toward the deployment of advanced reactors.\n\nTrack:
