Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 Abstract This implementation plan describes the methodology for conducting the design implementation element of the human factors engineering (HFE) program. Design implementation is an element of the HFE program that verifies conformance of the as-built design to the planned design. The Design Implementation element is complete once the HFE inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) item is closed.

The methodology described is consistent with the applicable provisions of Section 12 of U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model, NUREG-0711, Rev. 3 (Reference 9.1.1).

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 Executive Summary The methodology for design implementation ensures that the as-built HFE design of the NuScale Power plant accurately reflects the verified and validated design resulting from the human factors engineering design process. This implementation plan describes how ownership of the HFE program is transferred from NuScale to a licensee and the actions a licensee completes in order to close the HFE ITAAC. Design implementation activities include evaluation of those aspects of the design that were not addressed during human factors verification and validation. The methods used to verify that the final human-system interfaces and facility configuration, conform to the planned design include subject matter expert reviews and plant walkdowns. The HFE issues identified during these activities are documented, evaluated, and resolved in the licensee's quality assurance program description (QAPD).

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document is designed to be implemented by a licensee and ensures actions needed to address the HFE ITAAC are completed. Because a transition in ownership of HFE design, configuration control, and corrective action resolution must occur, specific transition criteria are provided. Prior to meeting these criteria NuScale maintains responsibility for the HFE program and process controls. When transition criteria are met, NuScale will provide a turnover package, as described in Section 2.0, then the licensee assumes responsibility for the HFE program and process controls.

This document provides the implementation plan (IP) for design implementation (DI) within the HFE program. DI demonstrates that the HFE program as-built design of the human-system interface (HSI) and facility configuration accurately reflects the verified and validated design resulting from the HFE design process. DI activities also include an evaluation of those aspects of the design that were not addressed during the human factors verification and validation (V&V), including new human error deficiencies (HEDs) identified after completion of the V&V.

Features evaluated during DI generally include those that cannot be accurately simulated:

ergonomic considerations such as lighting and background noise

HSIs outside of the main control room (MCR) but within the NuScale plant HFE program scope Priority 3 HEDs identified during V&V and HEDs identified after completion of the V&V are tracked and resolved in accordance with Section 3.0 of this document.

Completion of DI activities ensures that the as-built HFE design conforms to the verified and validated design resulting from the HFE design process, hereafter called the final as-designed HSI configuration. The HFE ITAAC tracks completion of DI activities and therefore, a results summary report (RSR) is not prepared for the DI element of the HFE program.

1.2 Scope For the MCR and each local control station (LCS), the DI element confirms that:

the as-built design matches the final as-designed HSI configuration.

other aspects of the facility that were not simulated but are relevant to the overall HFE program are evaluated using an appropriate V&V method.

HFE design changes made subsequent to completion of the V&V have been properly integrated into the final as-designed HSI configuration.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 The HSIs, evaluated for conformance apply to the MCR and certain LCSs during normal, abnormal, and emergency operating conditions. This IP does not apply to maintenance or refueling activities, activities completed by craft/technical personnel (i.e., mechanical, electrical, or instrumentation and control (I&C), health physics, chemistry, engineering, or information technology), or activities associated with the technical support center, emergency operations facility, operations support center, or any other emergency response facilities (see Reference 9.2.1), with the exception of Reactor Building crane operation. This IP does not specifically review procedures as they are subject to the licensees QA program and that includes verification and validation of new and changed procedures. It also does not specifically review training as the licensee has its own program that is required to use the systematic approach to training. New or changed training would be controlled and evaluated by the licensees program.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 2.0 Configuration Control of HSIs Changes to the HSI design will be controlled under the NuScale Appendix B programs and processes and the applicable 10 CFR 52 Appendix,Section VIII.B.5 (50.59-like process). NuScale is responsible for maintaining HFE design configuration control until the turnover requirements are met.

NuScale design activities supporting Chapter 18 of the Design Certification (DC) are complete when the DC is approved by the NRC. Chapter 18 is supported by completion of the following:

all priority 1 HEDs are closed

retesting required for priority 1 HED closure is completed satisfactorily

the V&V results summary report is submitted

all NRC Requests for Additional Information are satisfactorily addressed NuScale will be prepared to turnover responsibility for HFE program implementation to the licensee when:

10 CFR 52 Appendix specific to the NuScale DC is issued.

the licensee's QAPD is approved by the NRC.

Approval of the QAPD establishes programs and processes comparable to those used in the NuScale HFE program. Turnover of the HFE program implementation responsibilities to the licensee is supported by the following:

all priority 2 HEDs are closed

retesting required for priority 2 HED closure is completed satisfactorily Turnover of HFE responsibilities to the licensee marks the end of NuScale engineering activities associated with the DC Chapter 18 implementation.

When turnover requirements are met, NuScale will provide the following material:

1. The HFE design configuration validated by the ISV.

2. HFE design changes and testing results demonstrating design change acceptability for all priority 1 HEDs identified after submittal of the V&V RSR.

3. HFE design changes and testing results demonstrating design change acceptability for all priority 2 HEDs that were not addressed in the V&V RSR.

4. HFE design changes made as a result of addressing priority 3 HEDs.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 When the licensee assumes responsibility for the HFE program, they will track and resolve HEDs under their QAPD related programs and processes.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 3.0 Design Implementation Assessments Design implementation uses the following methods to verify that the as-built HSIs and facility configuration conforms to the final as-designed HSI configuration:

HFE and Operations subject matter expert (SME) review

plant walkdowns The licensee is responsible for completing assessments of the following elements:

conditions that could not be accurately simulated in the ISV

negative findings in the comparison of the as-built configuration to the final as-designed HSI configuration

open priority 3 HEDs

new HEDs identified as the design matures Each of these elements could potentially identify the need for an HFE design change.

The licensees programs and processes determine when such changes are implemented. It is expected that some HFE design changes will not have sufficient priority to be implemented prior to the ITAAC closure. For those that do, the design change amends the as-designed HSI configuration post V&V HFE design. The amended design is used as the standard for verifying that the as-built configuration is consistent with the design. ITAAC closure is designed to verify the verified and validated HFE design is properly integrated with the final as-designed HSI configuration.

To accomplish this integration the licensee performs the following actions:

the as-built design is compared to the final as-designed HSI configuration. Deviations are documented.

each deviation is justified. If the deviation is caused by implementing an approved modification then the deviation is considered justified.

deviations that cannot be justified are resolved in accordance with Section 4.0.

when all deviations are justified, the deviations as a group are evaluated to determine if there is any collective significance that would invalidate the ISV conclusions.

3.1 Human System Interface Assessment The DI assessments for software and hardware configurations confirm clear configuration-controlled design traceability for HSI components (alarms, controls, and indications) and peripheral equipment.

The DI assessment for HSI configuration is conducted by plant walkdown and SME reviews and includes:

Conformance with HFE design documents such as the HFE style guide, display schematics, drawings and specifications

Screen navigation

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4

Control functionality

Automation functionality

Alarm and notification functionality

Procedure interface functionality 3.2 Facility Configuration Assessment The DI assessment for facility configuration is conducted by performing plant walkdowns that include the:

physical configuration of workstations, panels, and displays

visibility and sight lines

accommodations for communication

inclusion of emergency plan and personal protection equipment

lighting

background noise

environmental controls/conditions (e.g., temperature and humidity)

The evaluation of aspects of the facility not simulated (e.g., LCSs) but relevant to the overall HFE program include:

a walkdown to confirm conformance to the latest approved HFE design documentation including the HFE style guide.

a SME review of:

the suitability of the LCS for executing the operating procedures where operating procedures direct use of that LCS (i.e., typically not computer-based procedures).

the suitability of those procedures.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 4.0 Human Factors Engineering Issue Resolution The following milestones are associated with HED resolution:

all priority 1 HEDs will be resolved prior to issuing the V&V RSR.

all priority 2 HEDs generated during V&V activities and those identified after completion of the V&V are resolved by NuScale prior to turning over configuration HFE program control to the licensee.

all priority 3 HEDs generated during V&V and those identified after completion of the V&V are either resolved by NuScale prior to turning over HFE program responsibilities to the licensee or transferred to the licensee.

The transferred HEDs and HEDs identified during the DI activities described in Section 3.0 are tracked and resolved in accordance with the licensees QAPD. Some HEDs may be on-going due to anticipated technology or other advancements.

For each HED, an evaluation is conducted to determine:

if the configuration is equivalent to the V&V HFE design. If equivalent, the basis for the equivalency shall be documented and design documentation revised as necessary.

if a design change is needed to correct the as-built configuration so it conforms to the final as-designed HSI configuration.

If the as-built configuration is different from the final as-designed HSI configuration but potentially acceptable. If potentially acceptable, a design change review is conducted to determine the significance of the differences between final as built HSI configuration and as-built configuration. If the design change review concludes that the design change is acceptable and has no impact on the completed ISV results, then a specific validation method (e.g., tabletop walkthrough, mockup, part-task simulator, or plant walkdown) is determined. If the ISV results are impacted by the design changes, the applicable portion(s) of ISV are repeated.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 5.0 Addressing Important Human Actions Important human actions (IHA) are identified, addressed, and tracked by the Treatment of Important Human Actions element of the HFE program. Features that provide for reliable implementation of the IHAs are incorporated into the HSI design (e.g., alarms, controls, indications, and procedures).

As described in the human factors V&V IP (Reference 9.2.2), IHAs are considered among the significant conditions, personnel tasks, and situational factors sampled during V&V activities as the ISV scenarios are developed. The ISV assesses the successful performance of the integrated crew and the HSI for IHAs. During V&V, HEDs are processed when discrepancies are found for any IHA. HEDs found during V&V are resolved as described in Section 4.0. A description of how the HFE program addressed IHAs is submitted as part of the V&V RSR.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 6.0 Additional Considerations for Human Factors Engineering Aspects of Control Room Modifications The licensees responsibilities for HFE program implementation begin when the 10 CFR 52 Appendix specific to the NuScale DC is issued and the licensee's QAPD is approved.

Approval of the QAPD establishes programs and processes comparable to those used in the NuScale HFE program. After assuming HFE program responsibility, a licensee institutes a human performance monitoring (HPM) program to evaluate impacts on human performance going forward. The HPM program evaluates design change proposals for HSI design, procedures, or training against the design bases established for the as-built design.

The licensee's HFE program should implement the guidance of NUREG-0711, Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model, Revision 3.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 7.0 Results Summary Report Completion of DI activities is tracked and confirmed by an ITAAC item. This ensures that the as-built design conforms to the final as-designed HSI configuration resulting from the HFE design process. Therefore, an RSR is not prepared for the DI element of the HFE program as part of design certification.

Human Factors Engineering Design Implementation Implementation Plan RP-0914-8544-NP Rev. 4 8.0 NUREG-0711 Conformance Evaluation Table 8-1 indicates where each NUREG-0711, Rev. 3 (Reference 9.1.1) criterion is met in this IP.
