mitted to the NRC for verification that the credited manual action supports the design assumptions. 3.B. Review Criteria • The responsible reviewers evaluate vendor/licensee/applicant’s 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 • 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 event in which the operator manual action is credited. Local Control Panels and Plant Equipment • If operator action is required outside the control room, these actions are validated on the actual equipment or an accurate reproduction or mockup of the equipment. • Communication with the control room, travel time, harsh environment impacts, lighting, security measures, and supporting equipment are addressed within the validation scenario. The event analysis may contain other variables that should 18.0-24 Draft Revision 3 – July 2015 be considered (i.e., loss of power, access restrictions). These variables and their impact on operator performance are addressed. Personnel • Participants in the validation are the plant personnel who would normally perform the actions. • 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
