9 Statement of Work For Task Order No. 07 Under Job Code # J2014 Modification 1 TITLE: Human Factors Support for Event Investigations NRC Project Manager: Karen Pulsipher, PMSB/ TAMS (301504-1264)
J NRC Technical Monitor: Patricia L. Eng, DRCH/HHFB (30) 504-1837)
TAC Humber: M40011 (For Tasks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8)
Inspection Report Number:
To Be Assigned (For Taskt 5, 6, and 7)
HRR Priority: 1 BACKGROUND The contribution of human performance issues and related safety and operational effectiveness of human performance at commercial nuclear power plants have been a subject of continuing NRC concern.
Over 50% of the reported events occurring at nuclear power plants involve human performance issues.
It is widely accepted that the operational effectiveness and safety of commercial nuclear power plants can be significantly improved by optimizing the performance of complex human-machine interactions. The purpose of this task is to define criteria for selecting emergent events warranting investigation from a human performance perspective and to identify root causes for events in which human performance was an issue.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this task order is to obtain technical assistance in developing and documenting selection criteria for identifying emergent events which involve human performance issues.
The task also includes prompt on-site investigation of events in order to validate the selection criteria and to acquire data regarding the influences, both positive and negative, on human performance during power plant events.
On-site investigations will focus on identifying root causes and potential corrective actiqns for events. This will require prompt response to emergent events by the contractor on short' notice. Specific objectives are:
1.
Develop and document criteria used to select nuclear power plant emergent events for follow-up investigation by human factors personnel.
2.
Assist the NRC staff in investigating the role of human performance in power plant events.
3.
Assist the NRC staff in on-site investigations of events at power plants for which human performance is suspected to be a contributing factor.
~
4.
Determine from use of selection criteria and event investigation whether criteria should be modified.
TECHNICAL AND OTHER SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED The contractor shall provide personnel that are experienced in the areas of power plant events, power plant operations, human factors engineering and human performance.
At times, contract personnel must be able to respond on short notice to a staff request for needed expertise. The proposed person (s) must have extensive human factors experience, preferably as applied to nuclear power plants.
Experience in field investigations and 1
TASK ORDER 07, FIN - J 2014 successful general employee training for obtaining site access at nuclear power plants is also desirable.
It.is the responsibility of the contractor to assign technical staff, employees, subcontractors, or specialists who have the required educational background, experience, or combination thereof to meet both the technical and regulatory objectives of the work specified in this S0W.
The NRC will rely on representations made by the contractor concerning the qualifications of the personnel assigned to this task order including assurance that all information contained in the technical and cost proposal, including resumes, is accurate and truthful.
