omatic actions for performing- design functions described in the updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) A modification may be considered potentially significant to plant safety, per the criteria in 10 CFR 50.59(c)(2). Additional guidance related to 10 CFR 50.59 is provided in RG 1.187 (NRC, 2000) and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) publication 96-07, "Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation," (NEI, 2000). B. Graded A.pproach to Review The review methodology presented in this document is discussed generically.: In its complete form as applied to the review of the HFE aspects of a new-plant, the review process provides a comprehensive, detailed evaluation (see Section II.A). However, the level of staff review of an applicant's HFE design should reflect the unique circumstances of the review. In addition, staff reviews should also reflect risk-informed regulation and considerations. The NRC, the nuclear industry, and the public have moved to a broader consideration of risk in many activities associated with-NPPs. Therefore, risk importance is taken into account when deciding which particular items to review and the depth of review, necessary. This aspect of grading the review is discussed in Section II.C below. To reflect the need to grade the review, this chapter provides detailed examples of graded review diteria for several reviews: • Control room modifications (see Section 11.8) Modifications affecting human actions of high risk importance (see Section II.C.2) DRAFT Rev. 1 - December 2002 18.0-3 "* Modifications affecting human actions of moderate risk importance (see Section I1.C.3) "• Modifications affecting human actions of lower risk importance (see Section il.C.4) Within these graded review criteria, the guidance is selectively applied to address the demands of each specific review. The areas of review to be given attention for an applicant's submittal are based on: "* An evaluation of the information provided by the applicant "• The similarity
