Abstract
NUREG-0700, Rev.1, provides human factors engineering (HFE) guidance to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff for its: (1) review of the human system interface (HSI) design submittals prepared by licensees or applicants for a license or design certification of commercial nuclear power plants, and (2) performance of HSI reviews that could be undertaken as part of an inspection or other type of regulatory review involving HSI design or incidents involving human performance. The guidance consists of a review process and HFE guidelines. The document describes those aspects of the HSI design review process that are important to the identification and resolution of human engineering discrepancies that could adversely affect plant safety. Guidance is provided that could be used by the staff to review an applicant's HSI design review process or to guide the development of an HSI design review plan, e.g., as part of an inspection activity. The document also provides detailed HFE guidelines for the assessment of HSI design implementations. NUREG-0700, Revision 1, consists of three stand-alone volumes. Volume I, Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Process and Guidelines, is the principal technical document and provides a detailed discussion of both the review procedures and HFE guidelines. Volume 2, Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Reviewer's Checklist, provides the HFE guidelines in a checklist format. Volume 3, Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Review Software and User's Guide, contains an interactive software application to support design reviews.
