hnical Basis for Regulatory Guidance for Assessing Exemption Requests from the Nuclear Power Plant Licensed Operator Staffing Requirements Specified in 10 CFR 50.54(m)" and NUREG-1791, "Guidelines for Assessing Exemption Requests from the Nuclear Power Plant Licensed Operating Staff Requirements Specified in 10 CFR 50.54(m) — Final Report"]. The full staffing program is considered to be an operational program as discussed in SECY-05-197 and in RG-1.206 “Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition)”, Section C.IV.4, “Operational Programs.” A.6 Human Reliability Analysis Human reliability analysis (HRA) is an evaluation of the potential for and mechanisms of human error that may affect plant safety. The objectives of this review are to ensure that (1) the applicant has addressed human-error mechanisms in the design of the HFE aspects of the plant to minimize the likelihood of personnel error, and detect errors and recover from them; and (2) the HRA activity effectively integrates the HFE program and PRA. A design-specific PRA/HRA is required by 10 CFR 50.34(f)(1)(i), 52.47(b)(1) and 52.79, and is addressed in SRP Chapter 19 and RG 1.206 Section C.II.1. RG 1.206 Section C.II.1 specifies the purpose and objectives of the PRA, as well as the required scope and level of detail. In order to accomplish the above objectives, the HRA/PRA and the modeling of HAs must be of sufficient quality (see SRP Chapter 19 and RG 1.206 Section C.II.1). Review of the HRA should be coordinated with SRP Section 6.3.III.19 and RG 1.206 Section C.I.6.3.2.8 as they relate to manual actions for ECCS. The integration of the applicant's HRA with the HFE program should be evaluated in accordance with the review criteria of NUREG-0711. 18.0-10 Revision 2 - March 2007 A.7 Human-System Interface Design The HSI design process represents the translation of function and task requirements into HSI characteristics and functions. The objective of this review is to evaluate
