Abstract
The mosaic instruments installed on the back-up panel (BUP) have uniform dimensions and are demonstrated to be not only a modern style of main control room (MCR) but also conveniently installed, maintained and powerfully extended. As the human-machine interface equipments, mosaic instrument needs to consider the requirement of human factors (operability, readability, prevention of malfunction) and independence (physical separation and electrical isolation) in the nuclear power plant (NPP) designing process in order to insure the NPP in safe status This paper mainly introduces the type and dimension character of the mosaic instruments and describe the human factors engineering, independence application characters that how to meet the standard requirements when the mosaic instruments are used on BUP in main control room of NPP. As the development of nuclear industry, for the NPP, the application of mosaic instruments will be a new choice.
