Content:
o 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 management and the design organization. The licensee/applicant may integrate, or coordinate, their long-term monitoring with existing programs for monitoring operator performance, such as periodic operator surveys or the licensed operator training program. 4.B. Review Criteria The responsible reviewers evaluate licensee/applicant’s submittals for compliance with the following criteria: A long-term monitoring strategy is developed and documented by the vendor/licensee/applicant that is capable of tracking performance of the manual operator actions to demonstrate that performance continues to support the associated event analysis. The program is structured such that corrective actions are formal, effective, and timely. Rationale Guidance for HFE analyses that would be suitable to support the event analyses is described in NUREG-0711. The NRC staff has a high degree of confidence
