nction between "validation" and "verification" within the nuclear industry, the staff has elected to bypass the semantic ambiguity by leaving their definition up to the individual applicants; only the desired outcomes are specified (independent of terminology). As a result, it is anticipated that there will be considerable variation in the nature of the submittals, particularly with regard to the guidelines addressed under each item below (if distinguished), and the amount of detail provided. Furthermore, bBoth technical and 97 human factors aspects of the EOPs are addressed by validation/ and verification activities, and submittals may integrate the two aspects under a given evaluation scheme. For these reasons reviewers will have to exercise considerable judgment in their review of the submittals. The evaluation elements for validation/ and verification were drawn from the six objectives identified in NUREG-0899 (subsection 3.3.5.1) which are repeated below. These objectives should serve as the general basis for determining the acceptability of the validation/ and verification programs reviewed. 5.2 General Objectives The purpose of evaluating the validation/ and verification program is to ensure that the following general objectives are met. A listing of specific evaluation elements is provided in Subsection 5.3. 5.2.1 EOPs are technically correct, i.e., they accurately reflect the technical guidelines 5.2.2 EOPs are written correctly, i.e., they accurately reflect the plant-specific writer's guide 5.2.3 EOPs are useable, i.e, they can be understood and followed without confusion, delays, errors, etc. 5.2.4 There is a correspondence between the procedures and the control room/plant hardware, i.e., controls, equipment, and indications that are referenced, are available (inside and outside of the control room), use the same designations, use the same units of measurement, and operate as specified in the procedures 5.2.5 The language and level of information
