REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Reactor Operations Branch (IROB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The Reactor Operations Branch (IROB) reviews the human factors engineering (HFE) programs of applicants (e.g., for a construction permit [CP]; operating license [OL]; standard design certification [DC]; and combined license [COL]) and licensees (e.g., for modifications and changes to a licensee's design or licensing basis). The purpose of these-reviews is to maintain safety by verifying that acceptable HFE practices and guidelines are incorporated into the plant's design. The guidance provided in this document, and in the supporting documents referenced, is used to conduct these HFE reviews. This SRP chapter will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 1 0 Part CFR 50 and 10 Part CFR 52. This chapter describes a process for evaluating (1) designs, (2) design processes, (3) design reviews, 'and (4) operator actions submitted by applicants and licensees for the broad range of NRC review responsibilities. Specific applications are discussed in OApplications" below. The chapter identifies 12 areas of review for successful integration of human characteristics and capabilities into nuclear power plant design. These areas of review include: * HFE Program Management: * 'Operiating Experience' Review - ' Functional Requirements Analysis'ind Function Allocation * Task Analysis * Staffing and Qualifications Rev. 1 - February, 2004 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the revIew of appications to constnuct and operate nuclear power p nts.
