nel to successfully perform their tasks to achieve plant safety and other operational goals. This element comprises five V&V activities, which should be addressed by the applicant: 1. HSI task support verification is defined as an evaluation to ensure that HSI components are provided to address all identified personnel tasks. 2. HFE design verification is an evaluation to determine whether the design of each HSI component reflects HFE principles, standards, and guidelines. 3. Integrated system validation is a performance-based evaluation of the integrated design to ensure that the HFE/HSI supports safe operation of the plant. 18.0-13 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 4. Human factors issue resolution verification is an evaluation to ensure that the HFE issues identified during the design process have been acceptably addressed and resolved. 5. Final plant HFE/HSI design verification is intended to ensure that the implementation of the final design of the HSI and supporting systems (e.g., procedures and training programs) conform to the verified and validated design that resulted from the HFE design process. Requirements related to these V&V activities are provided in Section 11 of NUREG- 0711 and Sections 4 and 5 of NUREG-0700, Revision 1, and are discussed below. 44 The scope of V&V should be consistent with the purpose of the overall review. V&V should address all HSI design requirements defined in the review area for HSI design, including the specific requirements listed in subsection G, above. The general scope of V&V should be consistent with criterion 1 of Section 11.4.1 of NUREG-0711. It should include the following features for all applicable HSI facilities (e.g., main control room, remote shutdown room) defined in the HFE program plan: HSI hardware, HSI software, communications, procedures, workstation and console configurations, design of the overall work environment, and trained personnel. The scope of integrated system validation may be limited to those
