Nuclear power plants - Control rooms - Design
IEC 60964:2018 is available as IEC 60964:2018 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60964:2018 establishes requirements for the human-machine interface in the main control rooms of nuclear power plants. The document also establishes requirements for the selection of functions, design consideration and organization of the human-machine interface and procedures which are used systematically to verify and validate the functional design. These requirements reflect the application of human factors engineering principles as they apply to the human-machine interface during plant operational states and accident conditions (including design basis and design extension conditions), as defined in IAEA SSR-2/1 and IAEA NP-T-3.16. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) to review the usage of the term “task” ensuring consistency between IEC 60964 and IEC 61839;
b) to clarify the role, functional capability, robustness and integrity of supporting services for the MCR to promote its continued use at the time of a severe accident or extreme external hazard;
c) to review the relevance of the standard to the IAEA safety guides and IEC SC 45A standards that have been published since IEC 60964:2009 was developed;
d) to clarify the role and meaning of “task analysis”,
e) to further delineate the relationships with derivative standards (i.e. IEC 61227, IEC 61771, IEC 61772, IEC 61839, IEC 62241 and others of relevance to the control room design);
f) to consider its alignment with the Human Factors Engineering principles, specifically with the ones of IAEA safety guide on Human Factors (DS-492) to be issued.
Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Salles de commande - Conception
IEC 60964:2018 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60964:2018 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L'IEC 60964:2018 établit des exigences en matière d’interface homme-machine pour la salle de commande principale des centrales nucléaires de puissance. Il établit aussi les exigences en matière de choix fonctionnels, de conception et d’organisation de l’interface homme-machine, ainsi que les procédures utilisées pour vérifier et valider systématiquement la conception fonctionnelle. Ces exigences reflètent les principes d’ergonomie tels qu’ils s’appliquent à une interface homme-machine pour les états opérationnels de la tranche et les conditions accidentelles (y compris les conditions de dimensionnement et les conditions hors dimensionnement), tels que définis par l’AIEA SSR-2/1 et l’AIEA NP-T-3.16. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition publiée en 2009. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) l’utilisation du terme «tâche» en garantissant la cohérence entre l’IEC 60964 et l’IEC 61839;
b) la clarification du rôle, des capacités fonctionnelles, de robustesse et d’intégrité des services support pour la salle de commande principale pour garantir sa continuité d’utilisation au moment de la survenance d’accident grave ou de risques externes extremes;
c) la revue de la pertinence de cette norme par rapport aux guides de sûreté de l’AIEA et aux normes de l’IEC SC 45A qui ont été publiés depuis le développement de l’IEC 60964:2009;
d) la clarification du sens et du rôle de «l’analyse des tâches»;
e) la définition des relations avec les normes dérivées (par exemple l’IEC 61227, l’IEC 61771, l’IEC 61772, l’IEC 61839, l’IEC 62241 et les autres normes pertinentes pour la conception des salles de commande);
f) l’alignement par rapport aux principes d’ergonomie, en particulier ceux du Guide de Sûreté de l’AIEA sur les facteurs humains qui doit être publié prochainement.
