44. Human-Centered and Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Nuclear Operations
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionThe operating fleet of light water nuclear reactors in the United States is modernizing from analog to digital instrumentation and control systems, while advanced reactor designs feature fully digital control rooms. New concepts of operations will require significant increases in the level of automation deployed, which will involve incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Human-centered AI is a combination of human-centered design (human factors, human-in-the-loop, etc.) combined with AI/ML to design an efficient, reliable system with full consideration for human engagement. Trust and eXplainability (XAI) are central components. Importantly, a human-centered AI framework provides for automation that supports humans as supervisory controllers at plants, but to do so automation is needed that teams well with the operator, including interventions for safety reasons. This paper characterizes guiding principles for the application of human-centered AI with both legacy and advanced reactor technologies.
