those deemed less significant receive a less detailed review. When a human action is significant the analysis method described in Attachment A is a useful complement to the guidance in this NUREG. IV. REVIEW PROCEDURES In general, reviews should follow these steps: 1. Completion of the pre-acceptance and acceptance reviews in accordance with the applicable Office Instructions: • NRR- LIC-109, “Acceptance Review Procedures.” • NRO-REG-104, “Pre-application Readiness Assessment” • NRO-REG-100, “Acceptance Review Process for Design Certification and Combined License Applications.” 2. Verification that the licensee/applicant is using an acceptable HFE design method. An acceptable standard is described in NUREG-0711 (new designs, modifications) or NUREG-1764 (human actions). 18.0-10 Draft Revision 3 – July 2015 3. Verification that the HFE design conforms to industry standards as described in NUREG-0700.” 4. Verification that exemptions from regulations or alternate methods for complying with regulations have specific analyses supporting them (see NRR- LIC-103). 5. Verification that HFE design effectiveness has been demonstrated in a performance based integrated system validation test as described in NUREG-0711. This sequence can be applied across the spectrum of HFE review areas by applying the graded approach concepts provided in the next section. Graded Approach to Review The degree to which the NRC staff applies the review methodology in this SRP will reflect the specific circumstances of individual applications. For example, the review of the HFE aspects of a new plant will entail a comprehensive, detailed evaluation, while the review of individual modifications to existing designs may be less extensive. The following elements are considered when deciding the depth of review. • risk importance • the similarity of the associated HFE issues to those recently reviewed for other plants or similarity with previous approved designs • the
