Title:
NuScale Standard Design Certification 048 Operating Company: NuScale Power, LLC Docket No.52-048 Review Section: 18 - Human Factors Engineering Application Section:
QUESTIONS 18-21 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 52.47(a)(8) requires an applicant for a design certification to provide a final safety analysis report (FSAR) that must include the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with any technically relevant portions of the Three Mile Island requirements set forth in 10 CFR 50.34(f), except paragraphs (f)(1)(xii),
(f)(2)(ix), and (f)(3)(v). Section 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(iii) requires an applicant to "Provide, for Commission review, a control room design that reflects state-of-the-art human factor principles prior to committing to fabrication or revision of fabricated control room panels and layouts. Chapter 18, Human Factors Engineering, of NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition, and NUREG-0711, "Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model, identify criteria the staff uses to evaluate whether an applicant meets the regulation. The applicant stated in the FSAR, Tier 2, Section 18.0, "Human Factors Engineering - Overview," that its human factors engineering (HFE) program incorporates accepted HFE standards and guidelines including the applicable guidance provided in NUREG-0711, Revision 3.
NUREG-0711, Section 11.4.2.2, HSI Task Support Verification, criterion 2 states, The applicant should compare the human-system interface (HSI)s and their characteristics (as defined in the HSI inventory and characterization) to the needs of personnel identified in the task analysis for the defined sampling of operational conditions, noted in Section 11.4.1 of NUREG-0711. Section 3.2.2 of the verification and validation (V&V) IP describes the methodology used by the applicant for task support verification. The HFE Design Team conducts task support verification using the personnel task requirements identified by the most recent TA and compares them with the alarms, controls, indications, procedures, automation, and task support identified in the HSI inventory and characterization, the most recent version of HSI display pages and an active simulator. In addition, staff reviewed documents in NuScales Electronic Reading Room as part of an audit including the HSI Design Verification Test Plan. Section 2.2.1 of the HSI Design Verification Test Plan provides information regarding the verification process and the products that result from that process which helps the staff to understand how the comparison between the TA and HSI inventory and characterization is carried out. Please provide this information or a summary of the information in the V&V IP, as this information is necessary to for the staff to make its finding.
