RE: Letter to Chairman, NRC, on Vogtle 3&4 Human Factors Engineering
Dear Mr. Shea,
I continue to appreciate your concerns and will again state that we share your goal of a safe nuclear industry. I am responding to your January 25, 2021, email to Chairman Svinicki, that included an attached email dated January 19, 2021 from me. Your email expressed your continuing concerns and clarifications related to the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4.
In this regard it is important to clarify that NUREGs, as guidance documents, provide an acceptable way to meet regulatory requirements. The staff uses NUREGs to guide their reviews and associated decisions regarding compliance with the underlying NRC requirements documented in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. In the case of NUREG-0711, for both Revisions 2 and 3, the principal underlying regulatory requirement is the same: 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(iii). This regulation requires, in part, that the applicant Provide, for Commission review, a control room design that reflects state-of-the-art human factor principles prior to committing to fabrication or revision of fabricated control room panels and layouts. The staff concluded that the applications for both the AP1000 design certification and the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4, combined licenses met the requirements of 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(iii). After reviewing the information in your letters, the staff does not have reason to question its earlier conclusions that the human factors engineering design for Vogtle Units 3 and 4 complies with this regulation and will maintain public health and safety.
Sincerely, Mike King Director Vogtle Project Office Acting Deputy Director for Reactor Safety Programs & Mission Support Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation US Nuclear Regulatory Commission 301-415-6637 One White Flint North (O-13H19)
