ded by an HFE program plan to ensure the proper development, execution, oversight, and documentation of the HFE program. C The overall HFE program appropriately considers and address the deterministic aspects of the design, as discussed in RG 1.174. The HFE program plan should describe the technical program in sufficient detail to ensure that all aspects of the HSIs, procedures, and training are developed, designed, and evaluated on the basis of a structured top-down systems analysis using accepted HFE principles. The applicant's HFE program management should be evaluated in accordance with the review criteria of NUREG-0711, “Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model.” A.2 Operating Experience Review The objective of this review is to verify that the applicant has identified and analyzed HFE-related problems and issues in previous designs so that these problems and issues may be avoided in the development of the new design. This review should also verify that the applicant has retained positive features of previous designs. The operating experience review (OER) should be evaluated in accordance with the review criteria of NUREG-0711 and should satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(3)(i) and 52.49(a)(21). A.3 Functional Requirements Analysis and Function Allocation Functional requirements analysis is the identification and analysis of those functions that must be performed to satisfy plant safety objectives; that is, to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents that could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Function allocation analysis is the analysis of requirements for plant control and the assignment of control functions to (1) personnel (e.g., manual control), (2) system elements (e.g., automatic control and passive, self-controlling phenomena), and (3) combinations of personnel and system elements (e.g., shared control, automatic systems with manual backup). The objective of this review is to verify that (1)
