Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.
12th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2021)
Technical Session|Panel
Wednesday, June 16, 2021|12:00–1:45PM EDT
Session Chair:
Jeffrey C. Joe (INL)
Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
David R. Desaulniers (U.S. NRC)
Staff Producer:
Pat Schroeder (ANS)
This panel session highlights the work to develop consensus and other industry standards relevant to nuclear Instrumentation and Control Systems and Human Factors Engineering. Featured panelists include Richard Wood (IEEE I&C), Wolfgang Krause (IEC Human Factors), Judi See (HFES Human Factors), Prasad Kadambi (ANS I&C), and David Desaulniers (IEEE Human Factors). Panelist will describe their currently active standards, with an emphasis on their relevance and value to the nuclear I&C and human factors communities. Panelist will also highlight new standards under development and what gaps in the existing technical guidance these new standards are intended to fill.
