Abstract :
The Boston Edison Company implemented the first phase of a control room enhancement project at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. The project consists of several tasks, such as control panel painting, control panel relabeling, an upgrade of the control room lighting, etc. These tasks implemented the corrective actions identified during one of the Three Mile Island (TMI)-related activities, i.e., the detailed control room design review (DCRDR). The control panel relabeling and painting tasks and the control room lighting upgrade are described. Issues that were identified in the implementation of these enhancements as well as lessons learned from these projects are discussed.<>
