ing the HVAC design in SRP Section 14.3.7. 5. The Reactor Systems Branch (SRXB) determines the acceptability of Tier 1 information regarding the reactor systems and core cooling systems in SRP Section 14.3.4. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria for ITAAC are based on meeting 10 CFR 52.97(b)(1), which sets forth the comprehensive requirements for ITAAC. For design certification reviews, the scope of ITAAC is limited to the scope of the certified design as required by 10 CFR 52.47(b). See also the acceptance criteria in SRP Chapter 18 regarding the requirements for an effective human factors engineering (HFE) design. The acceptance criteria can be met by meeting the requirements of the following: The reviewer should determine the top-level design features and requirements appropriate for treatment in Tier 1 based on several sources. The basis for the review in this area is NUREG- 0711, "Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model" developed by the staff. The staff's certification review in the control room design area is based on a design and implementation process plan. The reviewer should also utilize SRP Chapter 18 and applicable sections of SRP Chapter 13. Other sources should include applicable rules and regulations, Regulatory Guides, USIs and GSIs, and operating experience. The staff developed NUREG-0711 to serve as a technical basis for the review of the design process and design acceptance criteria (DAC) for certification of the standard plant control room and remote shutdown station design. The NUREG-0711 is (1) based upon currently accepted HFE practices, (2) well-defined, and (3) validated through experience with the development of complex, high-reliability systems in other industrial and military applications. The review model identifies the important HFE elements in a system development, design, and evaluation process that are necessary and sufficient requisites to successful integration of human factors in complex systems.
