tor Interviews/Surveys. Operator interviews/surveys should be conducted to determine operating experience for related plants and systems, as described in criterion 4 of Section 3.4.1 of NUREG-0711 and criterion 2 of NUREG-0700, Revision 1.13 HFE issues identified from the OER should be analyzed and documented as described in Section 3.4.2 of NUREG-0711 and criteria 3 and 4 of NUREG-0700, Revision 1. This 14 analysis should include identification of (1) human performance issues, problems, and sources of human error and (2) design elements that support and enhance human performance. The analysis of operating experience should be documented in an evaluation report. Each operating experience issue determined to be appropriate for incorporation in the design, but not already addressed in the design, should be documented in the HFE issue tracking system. C. Functional Requirements Analysis and Function Allocation Analysis The objective of this review is to verify that (1) functions that are important to plant safety have been defined and (2) the allocation of functions between personnel and plant system elements takes advantage of human strengths and avoids demands that are not compatible with human capabilities. This review area involves two distinct review activities: (1) functional requirements analysis and (2) function allocation. These analyses should be performed using a structured process reflecting HFE principles, including those described in NUREG/CR-2623, NUREG/CR-3331, and other documents described in criterion 2 of Section 4.4.1 of NUREG-0711.15 Functional requirements analysis is the identification and analysis of those functions that must be performed to satisfy plant safety objectives; that is, to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Acceptability of the functional requirements analysis should be based on 18.0-7 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 the conformance with the
