ABSTRACT (200 woms orrss) This document provides human factors engineering (HFE) review guidance for NRC staff to evaluate (1) human-system interface designs, (2) the design process, (3) design reviews, and (4) human actions submitted by applicants and licensees. The document Identifies 12 areas of review that are needed for successful integration of human characteristics and capabilities Into nuclear power plant design. These areas of review Include: HFE Program Management, Operating Experience, Functional Requirements Analysis and Function Allocation, Task Analysis, Staffing and Qualifications, Human Reliability Analysis, Procedure Development, Training Program Development, Human-System Interface Design, Human Factors Verification and Validation, Design Implementation, and Human Performance Monitoring. This review guidance Is applied to new plant designs, control station modifications and modifications affecting human actions. 12.
