procedures and po icies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the Standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard reviewplans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new information and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, D.C. 20555. "• Procedure Development "* Training Program Development "* Human-System Interface Design "• Human Factors Verification and Validation "* Design Implementation "* Human Performance Monitoring While the process defines 12 areas of review, not all may be applicable to reviewing a particular applicant's or licensee's HFE program. This is discussed in "Graded Approach to Review" below. A. Applications NRC HFE reviews in three application areas are described below. 1. Review of the HFE Aspects of a New Plant- If an applicant proposes to build a new plant under 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, an HFE review of the new license application is performed. This'chapter describes the staffs review activities to verify that accepted HFE principles are incorporated during the design process and that the human-system interfaces (HSIs) reflect a state-of-the-art HFE design. Nuclear power plant (NPP) design'ers and vendors may submit designs of advanced standardized NPPs to the NRC for review and approval under 10 CFR Part 52, "Early Site Permits; Standard Desig~n Certifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power" Plants," (see Part 52 Subpart B, "Standard Design Certification"). To obtain a standard design certification under Part 52, applicants submit a standard safety analysis report
