l 18E.2 MMIS IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS Section 18E.1 describes a process which is typical of those that will be followed in the implemen-tation of ABWR Man Machine Interface Systems (MMIS). As part of the Table 18E.1.1 discussion of the implementation process, the results of key activities are identified as being the subject of an NRC confonnance review. Tables 18E.2.1 through 18E.2.4 of this section define the requirements that are to be met by the MMIS design implementation activities that are to be made available for myiew by the NRC. The MMIS design implementation-related Design i

Acceptance Criteria (DAC) which are established through Rule Making,(refer to Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the Tier 1 Design Certification material for the GE ABWR design), am defined such that there exists a direct cormspondence between the DAC entries and requirements imposed herein on those design activities whose results are to be made available for NRC conformance reviews as identified in Table 18E.1.1. Those requirements presented in Table 18E.2.1 through 18E.2.4 which correspond to individual Tier 1 DAC acceotance criteria are specifically identified. There-fore, satisfaction of those specific requirements s' hall result in full compliance with the Certified Desi);n Commitment and the corresponding Acceptance Criteria presented in the Tier 1 (Rule Makmg) DAC established for the MMIS design implementation.

Similarly, an individual member of the life Design Team Lay possess all of the credentials sufficient to satisfy the life Design Team qualification requirements for two or more of the defined skill areas.

3.

Alternative personal credentials may be acce 3ted as the basis for satisfying the minimum personal qualification requirements specifiec in Article (4), below. Acceptance of such alternative personal credentials shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and approved, documented and retained in auditable plant construction files by the COL Applicant. The following factors are examples of alternative credentials which a:e considered acceptable.

a. A Professional Engineer's license in the required skill area may be substituted for the required Bachelor s degree.

l l

b. Related experience may substitute for education at the rate of six semester credit hours for each year of experience up to a maximum of 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> credit.
