the review DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 18.0-8 criteria of Section 6.4 of NUREG-0711. The staffing analysis should address the range 24 of applicable plant conditions and personnel tasks, as described in criterion 1 of NUREG- 0711. 25 The categories of personnel that should be considered should be consistent with the scope defined by the HFE program management plan. Staffing levels should be based on an analysis of (1) staffing requirements described in SRP Section 13.1.2-13.1.3, "Operating Organization," and 10 CFR 50.54; (2) personnel actions required by 10 CFR 50.47 and 26 NUREG-0654 to meet an initial accident response in key functional areas; and (3) other considerations described in criterion 2 of NUREG-0711 and Information Notice 95-48. 27 The staffing analysis should be iterative, as described in criterion 3 of NUREG-0711. It should consider staffing issues identified in other review areas, as described in criterion 4 of NUREG-0711, including operating experience review, functional requirements analysis and function allocation, task analysis, human reliability assessment, HSI design, procedures, and verification and validation.

The objective of this review is to confirm that the applicant's HRA is performed using acceptable assumptions, data, and methods and that the HRA is integrated with the rest of the HFE design process. In addition, the review should ensure that HRA activities performed in support
