Separation Criteria and Their Application in PWR Control Room Design

This paper covers the application of "Separation Criteria" in the design of a control room for a nuclear power plant whose prime mover is a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The guidelines and requirements established in these separation criteria are built upon the requirements stated in IEEE "Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems," IEEE No. 279-1971 1), IEEE Criteria 308 2) and IEEE Separation Criteria SC-4.
