anced control system technologies. Appendix B of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, was provided as one source of guidance regarding these analyses. The guidance of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, has been updated twice to reflect changes in HSI technologies. NUREG-0711 addresses the integration of HFE in the design process and was originally developed to support NRC reviews of submittals for certification of new plant designs under 10 CFR Part 52. However, because it updates the guidance of Appendix B of NUREG-0700, Revision 0, it may be used for HFE reviews of new plant designs licensed under either 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Portions of NUREG-0711 should also be used, as appropriate, to support the NRC in its review of upgrades of current control rooms. NUREG-1764, addresses the human performance aspects of changes to HAs that are credited for safety, especially those involving changes in the licensing basis of the plant; e.g., use of manual action in place of an automatic action for safety system operations. Risk-informed guidance and acceptance criteria are provided for the review of licensee proposals addressing such modifications. The review method uses a graded, risk-informed approach and provides guidance for reviewing the human performance'aspects of changes to plant systems and operations. Three HFE review levels are defined: high, medium, and low (called Levels 1, 11, and ll). HAs are reviewed using human factors engineering criteria to evaluate whether the proposed HA can be reliably performed when called upon in the plant. HAs in the high-risk level receive a detailed review and those in the medium-risk level receive a less detailed review that is commensurate with their risk. For HAs falling into the lower-risk level, minimal (or no) human factors review is performed. Rev. I - February, 2004 I18.0-1 8 Thus, the HFE review process presented in this SRP chapter inc6rporates guidance from all three documents. Ill. REVIEW PROCEDURES' The applicant should submit
