A Human Engineering Evaluation of the ML-1 and ML-1A Mobile Low Power Nuclear Power Plant

Abstract

This report is a continuation of the U. S. Army Human Engineering Laboratories' human engineering evaluation of the ML-1 Mobile Nuclear Power Plant and is being conducted at the request of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. It covers the period 1 April 1962 to 30 April 1963 and includes a simultaneous task analysis of the ML-1 start-up procedures, a review of the layout and operation of the Reactor, Power Conversion Skid, and Gas Storage Skid, the monitoring of the contractor's product improvement program, a proposed layout of the ML-1A Control Cab, a review of the training-simulator design. Recommendations are made for improving the operation and maintenance of this system. A brief description of the reactor plant is also included.
