Content:
, as described in Part 2 of NUREG-0700, Revision 1.37 H. Procedure Development The objective of this review is to confirm that the applicant's procedure development program incorporates HFE principles and criteria, along with all other design requirements, to develop procedures that are technically accurate, comprehensive, explicit, easy to utilize, validated, and in conformance with 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(ii). Because procedures are considered an essential component of the HSI design, they should be a derivative of the same design process and analyses as the other components of the HSI (e.g., displays, controls, operator aids) and subject to the same evaluation processes. This review addresses the scope of procedures, the development of procedure content, and the integration of procedure development with other HFE design activities. The scope of procedures should be consistent with the scope of the overall review, as defined by the HFE program plan. The scope of procedures should include the following, as described in criterion 1 of Section 9.4 of NUREG-0711: generic technical 38 guidance, plant and system operations, abnormal and emergency operations, tests (e.g., preoperational, startup, and surveillance), and alarm response. It should also be consistent with the scope described in SRP Sections 13.5.1.1, 13.5.1.2, 13.5.2.1, and 13.5.2.2.39 The development of procedure content should be consistent with the guidance provided in SRP Sections 13.5.1.1, 13.5.1.2, 13.5.2.1, and 13.5.2.2. It should also be consistent 40 with criteria 3, 4, and 8 of Section 9.4 of NUREG-0711, which address: (1) the content 41 and use of a procedure writer's guide, (2) the elements of procedure content (e.g., title, statement of applicability), and (3) procedure maintenance and control of updates. The procedure development process should be integrated with the rest of the HFE design process, as described in criteria 2, 6, 7, and 9 of Section 9.4 of NUREG-0711. In particular, the technical
