apters will contact the organization responsible for Chapter 18 if additional help is needed. 2. 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(iv) requires a plant safety parameter display system (SPDS) console that displays to operators a minimum set of parameters defining the safety status of the plant, capable of displaying a full range of important plant parameters and data trends on demand, and capable of indicating when process limits are being approached or exceeded. Chapter 18 identifies controls, displays, and alarms needed by the operator to address abnormal operating occurrences and postulated accidents. The staff’s review needs to ensure coordination in the following areas: • Chapter 7 addresses the adequacy of controls and instrumentation with regard to the features of automatic actuation, remote sensing and indication, and remote control. RG 1.97, “Criteria for Accident Monitoring Instrumentation for Nuclear Power Plants,” parameters are identified within this chapter. • Chapter 13, Section 13.3, “Emergency Planning,” addresses emergency planning including the TSC and EOF and the implementation of SPDS in these facilities. • Chapter 15 addresses design basis analyses which include the parameter responses that must be monitored and controlled to maintain reactor safety. 3. Chapter 7, “Instrumentation and Controls,” describes components and characteristics included in the Chapter 18 review. As appropriate, the review results of one chapter should be considered in the review activities for the other chapter. 4. Chapter 13, Section 13.1.1, “Management and Technical Support Organization,” addresses the need for clearly defined management and organizational responsibilities. Chapter 18, under Acceptance Criteria, requires a comprehensive summary of management's role in ensuring that HFE is adequately considered in new plant design and in the modification of an existing plant. The reviews of Section 13.1.1 and Chapter 18 should be verified to be consistent. 5.
