1 FBAPS Unit 2 6.20 BASES Site Staff Working Hour Restrictions Studies indicate that fatigue causes an individual's detection of visual signals to deteriorate markedly, the time it takes for a j

person to make a decision increases, and more errors are made.

Further, fatigue results in personnel ignoring some signals because they develop their own subjective standards as to what is important, and as they become more fatigued, they ignore more signals.

The objective of the work hour restric-tions specified in this section is to assure that, to the extent practicable, personnel are not assigned to perform safety-related functions while in a fatigued condition.

The controls will limit both continuous working hours for personnel performing safety-related functions and accumulated working hours during the year for shift operators.

Additionally, the controls will ensure adequate rest breaks between work periods.

The working hour restrictions are based on guidelines provided in NUREG/CR-4248.

" Alternate" as used in specification 6.20.3 refers to the positions identified in 6.20.3 or positions designated in ar..Inistrative controls. " Employing officer" as used in specification 6.20.2 refers to the position ultimately responsible for scheduling an employee's time.
