and departures or exemptions from the DC. The additional material is evaluated against the applicable sections of NUREG-0711. The purpose of these reviews is to assure safety by verifying that the COL applicant’s FSAR provides any additional documentation specified by the DC. 3. Design Certification Application The organization responsible for the review of human performance reviews the applicant’s HFE control room design described in the design certification (DC) application. The submittal should address all 12 elements described in NUREG-0711. This may require deferring site- or plant-specific elements to future COL applicants via COL action items. Elements that interface with operating programs (e.g., procedures, training) should be coordinated with the organization responsible for reviewing operating programs to determine the level of effort needed in reviewing Chapter 18 of the applicant’s SAR. Typically the evaluation of operating programs will be done within Standard Review Plan (SRP), Chapter 13 as discussed in Section II, “Interfaces.” The purpose of these reviews is to assure safety by verifying that acceptable HFE practices and guidelines are incorporated into the plant’s design. 4. Plant and Control Room Safety-related Modifications The NRC staff conducts reviews of license amendment requests involving voluntary modifications of HFE aspects of the control room and other safety-related interfaces to verify they are acceptable under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.90, “Application for Amendment of License, Construction Permit, or Early Site Permit.” These reviews include changes or modifications to the control room and other significant human-system interfaces (HSIs). Modifications may be extensive, such as a large-scale modernization of control room HSIs, using computer-based technology as part of a digital instrumentation and controls (I&C) upgrade program. Such a program can result in substantial modifications to
