Content:
ance of Appendix B of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, it should be used for HFE reviews of new plant designs licensed under both 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52. Portions of NUREG-071 I should also be used, as appropriate, to support the NRC in its reviews'of upgrades of current control rooms. Draft NUREG-1764, addresses the human performance aspects of changes to HAs that are credited for safety, especially those involving changes in the licensing basis of the plant; e.g., use of manual action in place of an automatic action for safety system operations. Risk informed guidance and acceptance criteria are provided for the review of licensee proposals addressing such modifications. The review method uses a graded, risk-informed approach and provides guidance for reviewing the human performance aspects of changes to plant systems and operations. Three risk regions are defined: high, mediuim, and low6r risk regions (called Regions 1, 11, and III)._HAs are reviewed using human factors engineering criteria to ensure that the proposed HA can be reliably performed when called upon- in the plant. HAs in the high-risk region receive a detailed review and those in the medium-risk region receive a less detailed, review that is commensurate with their risk. For HAs falling into the lower-risk region, minimal (or no) human factors review is performed. Thus, the HFE review process presented in this SRP chapter incorporates guidance from all three documents. Ill. REVIEW PROCEDURES The applicant should submit review materials for each review area. The general types of reports that the applicant may submit are described in NUREG-071 1. These include: 1. Implementation Plan. This submittal describes the applicant's proposed methodology for meeting the acceptance criteria of a particular review element. An implementation plan review gives the applicant the opportunity to obtain staff review of and concurrence DRAFT Rev. 1 - December 2002 18.0-18 in the applicant's approach before conducting
