Content:
he 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 has ten program elements, each of which contain both general and more specific acceptance criteria. Design Processes and Design Acceptance Criteria (DAC) 10 CFR Part 52 requires applicants for design certification to meet the TMI requirements in 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(iii) for providing a control room design that reflects state-of-the-art human factors principles. Applicants may not develop a final control room and remote shutdown 14.3.9-3 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 station design before design certification because this is an area of rapidly changing technology. Instead, applicants may provide the processes and acceptance criteria in Tier 1 and the detailed supporting information in DCD Tier 2 Chapter 18 by which the details of the design in this area would be developed, designed, and evaluated. In lieu of having a completed control room design for review, the reviewer must base his safety determination on an acceptable process for the design of the control room. In addition, applicants must submit a description of a minimum inventory of displays, controls, and alarms necessary to accomplish the Generic Technical Guidelines (e.g., EPGs, ERGs) and critical operator actions identified through PRA analysis. If provided by the applicant, the processes and design acceptance criteria in Tier 1 regarding human factors engineering should apply to the human factors design of the main control room and the remote shutdown station of the standard design. The detailed supporting information for the human factors aspects of the main control room and remote shutdown station design should be provided in DCD Tier 2
