an event analysis. The scope of the performance monitoring strategy should provide adequate assurance that integrated system performance will be maintained within the bounds established by the ISV and continue to support the associated event analysis. There is no expectation for the licensee/applicant to periodically repeat the full ISV; however, there should be sufficient controls to provide reasonable confidence that operators will maintain the skills necessary to accomplish the credited actions. The results of the monitoring need not be reported to the NRC, but should be retained onsite for inspection. Consistent with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, “Design Control,” Criterion V, “Instructions, Procedures and Drawings,” and Criterion VI, “Document Control,” the vendor/licensee/applicant should have in place sufficient configuration and design controls to assure that procedure steps that direct the credited action are administratively protected from inadvertent change, and that the design program has sufficient controls to assure that the design will continue to support the event analysis when the plant or MCR is modified. Consistent with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion II, “Quality Assurance Program,” in addition to the operations organization, training also should be provided to design personnel for the purpose of understanding the critical link between manual operator actions performed in response to an event and the plant equipment used to implement these actions. Instructors should ensure that trainees understand the philosophy behind the approach of the procedures. Consistent with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, “Design Control,” and Criterion XVI, “Corrective Action,” long-term monitoring should have a formal mechanism for feedback such that results, including problems identified by the operating staff during operations or training, are brought to the attention of the reference plant operations department
