verall work environment, workspace 32 layout (e.g., control room and remote shutdown facility layouts), control panel and console design, control and display device layout, and information and control interface design details. The HSI design process should be organized and documented to support its standardized and consistent use, as described in criterion 1 of NUREG-0711. The definition of HSI requirements, such as display range, accuracy, and precision, should be derived from analyses addressed by earlier review areas, as described in criterion 3 of NUREG-0711. Characteristics of the HSI components should be developed to support human performance and usability, as described in criterion 4 of NUREG-0711. The selection of general HSI design features, such as types of display devices and user input devices, should be based upon evaluations of design alternatives, as described in criterion 5 of NUREG-0711.33 The process by which the detailed design is developed for selected general HSI features, layout, and environment should incorporate HFE guidelines, as described in criterion 6 DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 18.0-10 of NUREG-0711. Generic HFE guidance documents should be tailored to the applicant's specific HSI design and documented in a guidance or specification document. Design details, problems and issues that are not well defined by guidelines should be resolved through analyses, as described in criterion 7 of NUREG-0711.34 The HSI design should be evaluated in an ongoing fashion to ensure its acceptability for task performance and conformance to HFE criteria, standards, and guidelines, as described in criterion 8 of NUREG-0711. Aspects of the HSI that are at variance with design guidance or for which HFE guidance is lacking should be analyzed to determine that human performance is adequately supported. Evaluations should also be conducted to ensure that the HSI includes all information and controls required to perform operator tasks and that extraneous controls and
