Content:
provided and that it conforms to the SECY guidance. Additional direction on using DAC is provided in the section 2 below. Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation: For operating licensee submittals it is preferred that the content be results-oriented, with few, if any open items. If open items are necessary, they should be addressed in a formal commitment or a license condition (NRR-LIC-105). All twelve elements of NUREG-0711 should be addressed, or omissions justified. 2. Verification that the licensee/applicant is using an acceptable HFE design process. a. An acceptable standard is described in NUREG-0711 or NUREG-1764. NUREG/CR-7190, “Workload, Situation Awareness, and Teamwork,” also provides a review of human performance metrics used to measure workload, situational awareness, and teamwork. It provides a tool for evaluating the use of such metrics in applications (e.g., design certification) and proposed license amendments. b. Each NUREG-0711 element lists the content of the associated “Results Summary Report.” This list includes the methodologies of interest. Reviews should verify the methodology described is valid for the application in which it is used. The maturity of the design should dictate the reviewer’s emphasis on methodology versus final design. Mature, complete designs typically call for a general review of the methodology and a detailed review of the design (using NUREG-0700). The evaluator may adjust the priority given to the method and the final HFE design reviews based on application specifics. c. Design Certifications: Under a limited number of special conditions, the NRC accepts a detailed description of an HFE design process in lieu of a final design product. These conditions are identified in SECY-92-053, and are listed below: • rapidly changing technology could cause the approved design to be obsolete prior to construction, • as-built information (e.g., specific measurements) needed to complete the design is unavailable, •
