ificant safety degradation occurs because of any changes that are made in the plant and to verify that the conclusions that have been drawn from the evaluation remain valid over the life of the plant. The applicant’s performance monitoring strategy should be evaluated in accordance with the review criteria of NUREG-0711. B. Review of the HFE Aspects of Control Room Modifications License amendments involving major changes to the HSIs, such as control room modernization, should be reviewed using the guidance contained in Section II.A of this SRP chapter. However, since the extent of such modifications can vary, the staff's review should be tailored using the additional guidance from NUREG-0711 and presented in this section. B.1 HFE Program Management The goals of the HFE program should address the need to consider the effects that the modification may have on the performance of personnel. The review should address the applications plan with respect to the following: C Planning the installation to minimize disruptions to work of plant personnel C Coordinating training and procedure modifications with implementing the modification to verify that both accurately reflect the characteristics of the modification 18.0-14 Revision 2 - March 2007 C Conducting training to maximize personnel’s knowledge of and skill with the new design before its implementation B.2 Operating Experience Review (OER) The operating experience of the plant being modified and plants with similar modifications should be reviewed as part of the OER. The OER should provide information on past performance of predecessor designs or earlier designs on which the new plant is based. B.3 Functional Requirements Analysis and Function Allocation Functional requirements analysis and function analysis should consider the following: C Functional requirements analyses for modifications that are likely to change existing safety functions, introduce new functions for systems supporting safety functions, or
