ABSTRACT
(
NUREG-0700, Revision 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 i process that are important to the identification and resolution of human engineering discrepancies that could l 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 1, 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, j contains an interactive software application to support design reviews.

PREFACE i=
NUREG-0700, Revision 1, consists of three volumes. The contents of each are briefly described below. ;
Volume 1 - Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Process and Guidelines !
Volume I consists of two major parts. Part I describes those aspects of the review process of the i
human system interface (HSI) design that are important to identifying and resolving human '
engineering discrepancies (HEDs). Guidance is provided that could be used by the staff to review
{
an applicant's or licensee's HSI design review process. Part I could also be used by the staff to assist ' ;
with developing an HSI design review plan that might be used, for example, as part of an inspection '
activity. Part 2 of Volume 1 contains detailed guidelines for a human factors engineering (HFE) review which identify criteria for assessing the implementation of an applicant's or licensee's HSI design.- 1 Volume 2 - Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Reviewer's Checklist Volume 2 is a complete set of the guidelines contained in Volume 1, Part 2, but in a checklist format that can be used by reviewers to assemble sets ofindividual guidelines for use in specific design reviews. The checklist provides space for reviewers to enter guidelines evaluatioris and comments.
Volume 3 - Human System Interface Design Review Guideline: Review Software and User's Guide Volume 3 contains an interactive software application of the NUREG-0700, Revision 1 guidance and a user's guide for this software. The software supports reviewers during review preparation, evaluation design using the HFE guidelines, and in report preparation. The user's guide provides system requirements and installation instructions, detailed explanations of the software's functions and features, and a tutorial on using the software.

1 INTRODUCTION O(~'
This User's Guide describes %e use and function of the Design Review Guideline (DRG), a software application that supports eva'uations conducted using the process described in Volume 1 of this report. That volume also contains a comprehensive set of human factors guidelines arranged into a hierarchy of topics.
The DRG software allows the set of guidelines to be customized to the requirements of a specific review.
Once a custom evaluation file is created, functions are provided for recording the evaluations and compiling the results in report form. The DRG also provides a complete glossary of terms, an index, and a word-search function.
l l Note that the User's Guide and DRG software do not contain all of the procedures necessary for conducting i human-system interface (HSI) design reviews; that information is contained in Volume 1. As noted above, this software supports the design review process by facilitating the selection, evaluation, and analysis of human factors engineering (HFE) guidelines.
The User's Guide includes installation procedures, operating instmetions, and reference information. It is divided into the following sections.
Section 2, Installing the DRG Software (page 1), identifies the minimum system requirements and step-by-step installation procedures.
l .
Section 3, Creating and Modifying Evaluation Files (page 5), describes how to get started in developing a sample file to be used in a DRG review.
Section 4, Conducting an Evaluation (page 9), discusses the DRG software's features and functions
- for evaluating a design.
l Section 5, Preparing a Report and Report File (page 15), details how to print and save an evaluation.
Section 6, On-Line Help (page 19), describes how to access the DRG's user-support information.
Section 7, Tutorial (page 21), is a step-by-step demonstration of the features and functions of the I I
DRG software.
l In addition, a Glossary (page 27) lists and defines the functions, commands, and buttons used in the DRG.
)
l An Index (page 33)is also provided.
Note on Version Numbers Versions of this software are numbered using an X.Y format, where.
X= the number corresponding to the Revision of NUREG-0700 (e.g.,1 means the HFE guidelines in the software are those contained in NUREG-0700, Revision 1); and Y= the revision number of the software interfaces and functions.
i 8 (
1 NUREG-0700, Rev.1, Vol. 3
Therefore, the version number of this initial release of the DRG software is 1.0. If the interface and software functions are modified, but the HFE guidelines remain the same, further releases of the software will be numbered 1.1,1.2, and so forth. If the guidance in NUREG-0700 is modified and a Revision 2 is published, the HFE guidance in the software will be modified and a Version 2.Y will be released.
The following conventions are used throughout this Guide:
. All window labels and dialog box labels are shown in quotations for ease oflocating them within the electronic document.
= Button labels and menu labels are shown in boldface type.
. The term " mouse" is used to include any type of pointing device, such as a trackball.
= All instructions are given with the click of a mouse button; however, the underlined letter of a button label can be pressed, in conjunction with the Alt key, to access the function.
In consulting this User's Guide, a basic familiarity is assumed with either Windows or a Windows-type environment, as well as Windows interface structures.

Figure 2 List of guidelines sections The database can be customized to display only those sections needed for the specific design review by excluding sections not appropriate to the type of HSI being evaluated. Sections can be excluded by first clicking on the section titles in the " Select" window and then clickhg 'he Exclude button. A section that has been excluded can be included back in the file by clicking on the section title of the excluded section.
When this is done, the label on the Exclude button changes to Include. When the Include button i.e chked, the section is included back in the guidelines and can be used for the evaluation.
He Include All button selects and includes all sections, including any previously excluded items, resetting the Contents List to it.; original state of making all guidelines available for review. The Exclude All button
~
\ ,
5 NUREG-0700, Rev.1, Vol. 3
excludes all sections from the current review. A dialog box will ask for confirmation before proceeding to include or exclude all sections. The Exclude All button is useful if only a small number of sections are needed for a review. In that case, it is easier to exclude all the sections, then selectively include those sections that are needed. Clicking either of these buttons produces an advisory tone. To disable the tone, select the Beep option under the Eile menu and tun it to off. Alternatively, the underlined letter within the button (or within menus) can be pressed. For example, to use the Include All option, click on this function, orjust press I in conjunction with the Alt key.
To assist the reviewer in determining the appropriateness of the guidelines within a section, the Browse button opens a window which lists the titles and text of the individual guidelines associated with the section currently highlighted (see Figure 3). This window is closed by clicking _QK.

fq When the selection process is completed, the file should reflect only the guidelines needed for the review.
V At this point, select the Erocess button anc. confinn. A prompt will ask for a password, limited to 19 characters, to be assigned to the file to prevent unauthorized access to the evaluation file. This password will be requested every time the file :s opened. After pressing DK, the DRG executes the inclusion / exclusion action for all sections. The guidelines that have been excluded can only be accessed via the index and search functions but not as part of the evaluation.
The Cancel button allows you to exit the New function without creating an evaluation file.
During an evaluation, a reviewer may wish to include a section that was excluded from the file. This can be accomplished using the Modify function. To change the sections available in an existing evaluation file, ,
, click on the Modify command under the Eile menu name in the "DRG" window. A list of existing l evaluation files is displayed. After the file to be modified is selected and the password is entered, the DRG !
opens that file and displays the existing topic sections and associated guidelines in the window labeled
" Identify sections for < path > < filename >"(see Figure 4). New topic sections may be added, or existing ones can be deleted using the Include or Exclude buttons. The Cnples button may be used to add duplicates of a particular guideline to the review. When completed, click the Erocess button to execute the modification.
A dialog box will confirm that the file has been modified.

Source - The source refers to the document (s) from which the guideline was developed.
The DRG shows this information in the guideline area of the "HSI Review" window. To the left, the section and subsection (s) are presented with the individual guideline's number, title, and review criterion below them. The additional information is presented on the right side of the screen in the window so labeled. The source (s) is displayed when the Source button is activated.

DK indicates conformance with the guidelines criteria, while Discrepancy indicates nonconformance (see NUREG-0700, Rev.1, for information on the interpretation of evaluations).
M/A means that the specific guideline does not apply to the HSI being reviewed. The Return button indicates that a guideline applies, but more information is needed to assess conformance (in other words, the guideline will be returned to at a later time). When the Return button is selected, the " Reason for Return" dialog box is presented, and the reason for retuming to the item can be given (see Figure 7).
