INGS Acceptability of an individual area of review may be based on: A. Satisfying all associated review criteria. 65 B. Demonstrating by alternative means that all review criteria have been satisfied. Alternative analysis methods proposed by the applicant must be acceptable to the NRC. In addition, the required amount of evidence may be reduced for some areas of review if it can be shown that the new design does not significantly differ from an accepted predecessor design and that no unresolved human factors issues exist. C. Providing an acceptable justification for deviations from review criteria. Depending upon the review area and the nature of the deviation from review criteria, these justifications may be based upon such evidence as analyses of recent literature, analyses of current practices and operational experience, tradeoff studies, and the results of engineering experiments and evaluations. 18.0-19 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 An overall review conclusion is determined by comparing the goals of the HFE review, which are based on the type and purpose of the HFE review, to the evidence provided by the review. Important considerations include: 1. Were all relevant areas of review examined? 2. Was each area of review reviewed at the appropriate level (e.g., program description level, implementation plan level, and completed-area-of-review level)? 3. Were the findings for each area of review acceptable? If the evidence provided by the review does not satisfy the goal of the HFE review then additional analysis and design activities may be required of the applicant. These may include: (1) additional analysis and review for areas the have not been examined at the completed-area- of-review level and (2) completion of the design or correction of design deficiencies identified through the review. V. IMPLEMENTATION This section is intended to provide guidance to applicants regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the
