e interactions between: − main control room operators (e.g., operations, shift turnover walkdowns) − main control room operators with auxiliary operators and other plant personnel performing tasks locally (e.g., maintenance or instrumentation and control (I&C) technicians, chemistry technicians) − main control room operators and the TSC and the EOF − main control room operators with plant management, the NRC, and other outside organizations c. The applicant should include the following situational factors or error-forcing contexts known to challenge human performance. It also should include situations specifically designed to create human errors to assess the system’s error tolerance, and the ability of personnel to recover from any errors, should these occur, for example: 18.0-36 Revision 3 – December 2016 • Fatigue Situations – To the extent possible, the sample should include situations that may be associated with fatigue, such as work on backshifts and tasks performed frequently with repetitive actions, such as repeated inputs to a touch screen during plant operations or pulling rods. d. The applicant should include the following considerations with respect to emerging technology in NPPs, as described in more detail in Section 3 of NUREG/CR-6947. • Automation (Section 3.1.1) • Specific changes to operations (Section 3.1.3) • Advances in HSI technology (Section 3.1.3) • Complexity (Section 3.1.3) • Disturbance and emergency management (Section 3.1.4) • Design and evaluation of digital systems and software (Section 3.1.5) e. The applicant should include the following considerations for human performance issues related to design and operation of SMRs, if pertinent. These topics are described in more detail in Section 6 of NUREG/CR-7126. • Plant mission (Section 6.1) • Roles and responsibilities. This includes multi-unit monitoring and teamwork, and high levels of automation (Section 6.2) • Management of normal operations. This
