submittals for compliance with the following criteria: General • The ISV is completed as part of the HFE program that is implemented in accordance with NUREG-0711. Simulator 18-A-10 Final Revision 0 – April 2014 • The ISV is conducted using a plant-referenced simulator that meets the functional and fidelity requirements of the adopted ANSI/ANS 3.5, “Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and Examination,” and is capable of real time, high fidelity plant simulation of the BTP 7-19 software CCF concurrent with an AOO/PA. o The simulator accurately represents digital I&C CCFs and digital failure modes. o The plant-referenced simulator used for the validation of manual operator actions demonstrates expected plant response to operator input and to normal, transient, and accident conditions to which the simulator has been designed to respond. o The plant-referenced simulator is designed and implemented so that it is sufficient in scope and fidelity to allow conduct of the evolutions associated with AOO/PA, including manual operator actions, as applicable to the design of the reference plant. • The simulator accurately represents the HSI available and the postulated HSI failure(s) for the software CCF condition. Personnel • Participants in the validation are the plant personnel who would normally perform the actions. • With the following exception, actions to be performed by licensed operators are validated using individuals holding a current operating license for the unit on which the actions are to be credited. For vendor/applicants using the 10 CFR Part 52 process for a design for which there are currently no licensed operators, the crews may be composed of individuals who hold or have held an NRC-issued license to operate a commercial nuclear reactor of the same type (i.e., pressurized water reactor or boiling water reactor) for which the design is being validated. • Actions allocated to non-licensed operators are validated using
