ng them (see NRR-LIC-103). 5. Verification that HFE design effectiveness has been demonstrated in a performance based integrated system validation test as described in NUREG-0711. This sequence can be applied across the spectrum of HFE review areas by applying the graded approach concepts provided in the next section. Graded Approach to Review The degree to which the NRC staff applies the review methodology in this SRP will reflect the specific circumstances of individual applications. For example, the review of the HFE aspects of a new plant will entail a comprehensive, detailed evaluation, while the review of individual modifications to existing designs may be less extensive. The following elements are considered when deciding the depth of review. • risk importance 18.0-11 Revision 3 – December 2016 • the similarity of the associated HFE issues to those recently reviewed for other plants or similarity with previous approved designs • the determination of whether items of special or unique safety significance are involved (such as items deemed important to safety based on a qualitative or deterministic basis) Generic Review Procedure 1. Completion of the pre-acceptance and acceptance reviews Consider using audits to review the style guide, scenarios, supporting procedures, and operating simulators. The audit can often provide the additional detail needed to understand documents that have been submitted and facilitates the communication between applicant/licensee and the staff on what information needs to be docketed. Design Certification and Combined License Applications: Office instruction NRO-REG-104, “Pre-application Readiness Assessment” provides direction on the pre- acceptance review process. Office Instruction NRO-REG-100, “Acceptance Review Process for Design Certification and Combined License Applications,” provides direction on the acceptance review process. For design certification applications, “results summary reports” are preferred
