s for Design Certification and Combined License Applications,” provides direction on the acceptance review process. For design certification applications, “results summary reports” are preferred except for elements NUREG-0711 specified as only needing an Implementation Plan (i.e., HFE program plan, Human Performance Monitoring). If the applicant chooses to defer the final HFE design in accordance with SECY 92-053, “Use of Design Acceptance Criteria during 10 CFR Part 52, Design Certification Reviews,” the reviewer should verify a basis for using DAC has been provided and that it conforms to the SECY guidance. Additional direction on using DAC is provided in section 2 below. Operating License Submittals: Office Instruction NRR-LIC-109 addresses the Acceptance Process for operating licensee submittals. For operating licensee submittals it is preferred that the content be results-oriented, with few, if any open items. If open items are necessary, they should be addressed in a formal commitment or a license condition (NRR-LIC-105). All twelve elements of NUREG-0711 should be addressed, or omissions justified. 2. Verification that the licensee/applicant is using acceptable HFE analysis and design processes. a. Acceptable approaches are described in NUREG-0711, with application specific guidance provided in NUREG-1764 and NUREG-1852. NUREG/CR-7190, “Workload, Situation Awareness, and Teamwork,” also provides a review of human performance metrics used to measure workload, situational awareness, and teamwork. It provides a tool for evaluating the use of such metrics in applications (e.g., design certification) and proposed license amendments. b. Each NUREG-0711 element lists the content of the associated “Results Summary Report.” This list includes the methodologies of interest. Reviews should verify 18.0-12 Revision 3 – December 2016 the methodology described is valid for the application in which it is used. The maturity of the design should dictate the
