Ecological Interface Design for the Condenser Subsystems of a Boiling Water Reactor

Abstract

Empirical evidence for the performance benefits of Ecological Interface Design (EID) in industrial settings is in short supply. A simulator study is initiated to determine the potential benefits that EID would bring to the nuclear industry. This paper discusses the ecological interface for the condenser subsystems developed to enable this experiment. The design product and anticipated benefits of the ecological interface are described to exemplify the application of EID in the nuclear domain.
