y the licensee.. In NUREG-0899, four aspects of EOP development and implementation are identified as providing an adequate basis for review. These are (1) plant-specific technical guidelines (P-STGs); (2) a plant-specific writer's guide; (3) a description of the program for verification and validation of the EOPs; and (4) a description of the program for training operators on the'EOPs. Information on each of these items is to be provided in the procedures generation package (PGP). The PGP for each plant will provide the licensee with a technical and human factors basis for developing its EOPs and for making future'revisions to its EOPs. The formal requirement for submitting this package is provided in Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, "Requirements for Emergency, Response Capability" (Generic Letter No. 82-33). In 1994, NUREG 0711, "Human Factors EngineeringProgram Review Model" (HFE PRM), was published. The HFE PRM, described more fully in SRP Chapter 18, contains guidance6n reviewing human factors engineering program elements, including procedure development (Chapter 9). The HFE PRM a-ddresses technical procedures, including abnormal and emergency procedures, and seeks to ensure that an "applicant's procedure program will result in procedures that support and guide humnan interaction wiith plant systems and control plant-related events and activities." Therefore it is important that human-system interaction issues be considered in the development of all p-r6oedures,,including all operating procedures (described in L.A of SRP Section 13.5.2.1)'to be used within the control room and locally in the plant, including emergency operating procedures (EOPs). The guidance contained here in SRP Section 13.5.2.1, Appendix A, specifically addresses EOPs. Emergency operating procedures are paiticularly important for safety~in nuclear power plant operation. However, it should be recognized that all technical proceduires need to be developed to assist personnel in performing tasks.
