ered: 1. During the early stages of construction or plant design, the applicant will generally not have made selections for plant staff positions. The reviewer, therefore, examines this section of the SAR for a commitment to conform to the stated acceptance criteria. 2. The reviewer must recognize that there are many acceptable ways to define and delegate job responsibilities. Variations in staffing may also be expected between applicants with and without experience in nuclear plant operation. It is important that the reviewer verify that applicants lacking in experience do not underestimate the magnitude of the task and that all applicants adequately consider the potential effects of human error. Guidance on human error considerations may be found in NUREG-0711, Chapter 7, “Element 6 — Human Reliability Analysis.” The reviewer should be alert to the possibility that too much work may be put on too few people. The reviewer should also consider that the structure of onsite technical support and maintenance groups may depend somewhat on the applicant’s headquarters staffing and the division of effort between onsite and offsite personnel.
