man Factors and Ergonomics Society). As part of the development process, the guidance and its associated technical reports were extensively reviewed by independent subject matter experts, professional organizations, and industry representatives. As a result the staff's guidance provides a technically valid basis upon which to review applicant HFE programs, processes, and designs. 18.0-24 Revision 2 - March 2007 NUREG-0711 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. The review model also identifies aspects of each HFE element that are key to a safety review, and describes acceptance criteria by which the HFE elements can be evaluated. NUREG-0711 also serves as a technical basis for the review of ITAAC for plant HFE. NUREG-0711 addresses the integration of HFE in the design process and was originally developed to support NRC reviews of submittals for certification of new plant designs under 10 CFR Part 52. However, because it updates the guidance of Appendix B of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, it should be used for HFE reviews of new plant designs licensed under both 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52. Portions of NUREG-0711 should also be used, as appropriate, to support the NRC in its reviews of upgrades of current control rooms. NRC guidance for a structured, top-down systems analysis of HFE was originally provided in NUREG-0700, Revision 0. This document provided a methodology for the review of existing control rooms. It recommended that additional analyses be conducted for new control rooms to optimize the allocation of functions to humans and machines and further examine advanced control system technologies. Appendix B of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, was provided as one source of guidance regarding these analyses. NUREG-0700 now focuses on guidance for the review of plant HSIs. The guidance has been updated twice to
