Program of Human-Machine Interface Verification and Validation of HTR-PM in China Available to Purchase

The demonstration construction of the Chinese design of modular high temperature gas cooled reactor (MHTGR), named as high-temperature gas-cooled reactor-pebble bed module (HTR-PM) is now under construction. HTR-PM employs a layout of two nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) modules coupled to one steam turbine. The verification and validation (V&V) of HMIs is important for HTR-PM, as the first two-modular design. The V&V program of HMIs for HTR-PM is introduced in this paper. The V&V activities may include the static and dynamic verifications. The basic layout and static HMI usabilities will be verified on the static stage, and the task support based on operation procedures will be evaluated in the dynamic V&V phase. A verification platform is built to make verification and validation of the HMIs. The HMIs of HTR-PM will be improved according to the V&V result.
