The purpose of this letter is to provideadditional clarification regarding Safety Parameter Display Systems,Detailed Control Room Design Reviews, Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Revision 2) -Application to Emergency Response Facilities, Upgrade of EmergencyOperating Procedures, Emergency Response Facilities, and MeteorologicalData.The enclosures to this letter are a distillation of the basic requirementsfor these topics from the broad range of guidance documents that the NRChas issued (principally NUREG reports and Regulatory Guides). It is ourintent that the guidance documents themselves, referred to in the enclo-sures, are not to be used as requirements, but rather that they are to beused as sources of guidance for NRC reviewers and licensees regardingacceptable means for meeting the basic requirements.The following items In NUREG-0737 are affected:I .C.1I.D.1I.D.2Guidance for the Evaluation and Development of Procedures forTransients and AccidentsControl Room Design ReviewsPlant Safety Parameter Display ConsoleIII.

[ | -2-You will note that the enclosure does not specify a schedule for completinthe requirements. It has become apparent, through discussions with ownersgroups and Individual licensees, that our previous schedules did not ade-quately consider the integration of these related activities. In recog-nition of this and the difficulty in implementing generic deadlines, theCommission has adopted a plan to establish realistic plant-specific schedulesthat take into account the unique aspects of the work at each plant. Bythis plan, each licensee is to develop and submit its own plant-specificschedule which will be reviewed by the assigned NRC Project Manager. TheNRC Project Manager and licensee will reach an agreement on the finalschedule and in this manner provide for prompt implementation of theseimportant improvements while optimizing the use of utility and NRC resources.Applicants for construction permits are expected to comply with the require-ments of 10 CFR 50.34(f), and should consider this document to be additionalguidance in meeting these requirements. For holders of construction permitsand applicants for operating licenses, plant-specific schedules for theimplementation of these requirements will be developed In a manner similarto that being used for operating reactors, taking into consideration thedegree of completion of the power plant.In order to answer questions you may have regarding the Comm-ission's policyon these issues and the implementation process to be used by project managers,regional workshops will be conducted by senior staff members according to thefollowing schedule:Region I Washington,-D.

You are encouragedto work closely with your NRC Project Manager during this process so thatwe can reach an agreement on the final schedule as quickly as possible. Inaddition, you are requested to submit with it a description of your plansfor phased implementation and integration of the emergency response activities.Your plans for integration will be reviewed as part of our evaluation ofyour proposed schedule. After the staff completes this evaluation, it willtake action, as necessary, to assure that such requirements and commitmentsare appropriately enforceable.OF IE ............. ............. ............. ............. ............. ....1........ ........1...SU N M O ............. ........ ............. .......................... ............. ............DATIE ~ ............ ............I............-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ................... ..................... .................... ...................US ' 19813%-9NRC FORM 318 (10-W) NRCM 0240I OFFICIAL Kr_1k.%JKLJ uswo- 1981-%-05-9m | ||

INTRODUCTIONThis supplement was prepared as a result of a review by the Committeeto Review Generic Requirements (CRGR). The supplement represents thestaff's attempt to distill the fundamental requirements for nuclearplant Emergency Response Capability from the wide range of guidancedocuments that the NRC has issued. It is not intended that these guidancedocuments (NUREG reports and Regulatory Guides) be implemented as written;rather, they should be regarded as useful sources of guidance for licen-sees and NRC staff regarding acceptable means for meeting the fundamentalrequirements contained in this document. It is also not intended thateither the guidance documents or the fundamental requirements are to beconsidered binding legal requirements at this time. As indicated below,however, the fundamental requirements will be translated into bindinglegal requirements in the manner specified.These requirements are a further delineation of the general guidanceissued previously by the Commission in its regulations, orders and policystatements on emergency planning and TMI issues. It is intended thatthese requirements would be applicable to licensees of operating nuclearpower plants. For applicants for a construction permit (CP) or manufac-turing license (ML), the requirements described in this document must besupplemented with the specific provisions in the rule specifying licensingrequirements for pending CP and ML applications. Thus, compliance withrequirements in this document may not be sufficient to meet the relatedrequirements in 10 CFR 50.34(f) and Appendix E. In this regard, it isexpected that the staff would review CP and ML applications against theguidance in the current Standard Review Plan (which includes the provisionsof NUREG-0718) and this might lead to more detailed requirements than pre-scribed in this document in order to satisfy the requirements of 50.34(f)and Appendix E.Based on discussions with licensees, the staff has learned that many of theCommission approved schedules for emergency response facilities probably willnot be met. In recognition of this fact and the difficulty of implementinggeneric deadlines, plant-specific schedules will be established which takeinto account the unique status'of each plant. The following sequence fordeveloping implementation schedules will be used.The requirements for emergency response capabilities and facilities are beingtransmitted to licensees by this supplement and are being promulgated to NRCstaff. The letter which forwards this supplement requests that licensees submita proposed schedule for completing actions to comply with the requirements. | |||
-2-Each licensee's proposed schedule will then be reviewed by the assignedNRC Project Manager, who will discuss the subject with the licensee andmutually agree on schedules and completion dates. The implementationdates will then be formalized into an enforceable document.The requirements in this document do not alter previously issued guidance,which remains in effect. This document does attempt to place that guidancein perspective by identifying the elements that the NRC staff believes tobe essential to upgrade emergency response capabilities. The proposal toformalize implementation dates in an enforceable document reflects the levelof importance which the NRC staff attributes to these requirements. TheCommission does not believe that existing guidance should be imposed in thismanner, but rather that it be used as guidance to be considered in upgradingemergency response capabilities. This indicates the distinction which thestaff believes should be made between the requirements and guidance.The following sections describe the requirements, their interrelationhips,and NRC actions to improve management of emergency response regulations.Reference documents are cited with a description of content as it relatesto specific initiatives.The requirements set forth in this document have been reviewed by the Commis-sion and, at a meeting held July 16, 1982, were approved by the Commission asappropriately clarifying and providing greater detail with respect to relatedTMI Action Plan requirements contained in NUREG-0737 for all operating licenseapplicants. These requirements are, therefore, to be accorded the status ofapproved NUREG-0737 items as set forth in the Commission's "Statement of Policy:Further Commission Guidance for Power Reactor Operating Licenses" (45 FR 85236),December 24, 1980). In this connection, the provisions for scheduling set forthherein supersede any schedules with respect to such items contained in NUREG-0737.Accordingly, the requirements should be used by the staff and by adjudicatoryboards as appropriate clarifications and interpretation of the related NUREG-0737items.The requirements set forth in this document are believed to be consistent withthe requirements regarding related items for construction permits and manufactur-ing licenses contained in 10 CFR 50.34(f) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E. Accor-dingly, no changes to these regulations are required. | |||
-3-2. USE OF EXISTING DOCUMENTATIONThe following NUREG documents are intended to be used as sources of guidanceand information, and the Regulatory Guides are to be considered as guidanceor as an acceptable approach to meeting formal requirements. The items byvirtue of their inclusion in these documents shall not be misconstrued asrequirements to be levied on licensees or as inflexible criteria to be usedby NRC staff reviewers.NUREG Report Titles0696 -Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities0700 -Guidelines for Control Room Design Reviews0799 -Draft Criteria for Preparation of Emergency OperatingProcedures (to be superseded by NUREG-0899)0801 -Evaluation Criteria for Detailed Control Room DesignReviews0814 -Methodology for Evaluation of Emergency Response Facilities0818 -Emergency Action Levels for Light Water Reactors0835 -Human Factors Acceptance Criteria for SPDS0899 -Guidelines for the Preparation of Emergency OperatingProcedures: Resolution of Comments on NUREG-0799RegulatoryGuides Titles1.23 -Meteorological Measurement Program for Nuclear Power(Rev. 1) Plants1.97 -Instrumentation for Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power(Rev. 2) Plants to Assess Plant and Environs Conditions Duringand Following an Accident1.101 -Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants(Rev. 2)1.47 -Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication for NuclearPower Plant Safety Systems | |||
-4-3. COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION OF INITIATIVES3.1 The design of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), design ofinstrument displays based on Regulatory Guide 1.97 guidance, controlroom design review, development of function oriented emergency operatingprocedures, and operating staff training should be integrated withrespect to the overall enhancement of operator ability to comprehendplant conditions and cope with emergencies. Assessment of informationneeds and display formats and locations should be performed by individuallicensees. The SPDS could affect other control room improvements thatlicensees may consider. In some cases, a good SPDS may obviate the needfor large-scale control room modifications. Installation of the SPDSshould not be delayed by slower progress on other initiatives, and shouldnot be contingent on completion of the control room design review. Norshould other initiatives, such as upgraded emergency operating procedures,be impacted by delays in SPDS procurement. While the NRC does not planto impose additional requirements on licensees regarding SPDS, the NRCwill work with the industry to assure the development of appropriate industrystandards for SPDS systems.3.2 Implementation of part or all of Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2) representsa control room improvement. The implementation of control room improve-ments is not contingent on implementing Technical Support Center (TSC) andEmergency Operations Facility (EOF) requirements.3.3 The Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)are dependent on control room improvements in terms of communication andinstrumentation needs among the TSC, EOF, and control room. TSC and EOFfacilities are not necessarily dependent on each other. The OperationalSupport Center (OSC) is independent of TSC and EOF.3.4 The three groups of initiatives--SPDS, control room improvements, andemergency response facilities (TSC, EOF, OSC)-- have the following inter-relationships:a. The SPDS is an improvement because it enhances operator ability tocomprehend plant conditions and interact in situations that requirehuman intervention. The SPDS could affect other control room improve-ments that licensees may consider. In some cases, a good SPDS couldobviate the need for extensive modifications to control rooms.b. New instrumentation that may be added to the control room snould beconsidered a requirement for inclusion in the design of the TSC andEOF only to the extent that such instrumentation is essential to theperformance of TSC and EOF functions. | |||
-5 -c. The SPDS and control room improvements are essential elements inoperator training programs and the upgraded plant-specific emer-gency operating procedures.d. Acquisition, processing, and management of data for SPDS, controlroom improvements, and emergency response facilities should becoordinated.3.5 Specific implementation plans and reasonable, achievable schedules forimprovements that will satisfy the requirements will be established byagreement between the NRC Project Manager and each individual licensee.The NRC office responsible for implementing each requirement will deve-lop procedures identifying the following.a. The respective roles of NRR, IE, and Regional Offices in managingimplementation, checking licensee rate of progress, and verifyingcompliance, including the extent to which NRC review and inspectionis necessary during implementation.b. Procedural methods and enforcement measures that could be used toensure NRC staff and licensee attention to meeting mutually agreedupon schedules without significant delays and extensions.3.6 The NRC Project Manager for each nuclear power plant is assigned pro-gram management responsibility for NRC staff actions associated withimplementing emergency response initiatives. The NRC Project Manageris the principal contact for the licensee regarding these initiatives.3.7 The NRC will make allowances for work already done by licensees in agood-faith effort to meet requirements as they understand them. Foreach case in which a licensee would have to remove or rip out emergencyresponse-facilities or equipment that was installed in good faith tomeet previous guidance in order to meet the basic requirements describedin this document, the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulationor Inspection and Enforcement will review the circumstances and determinewhether removal is necessary or existing facilities or equipment repre-sent an acceptable alternative. Any regulatory position that wouldrequire the removal or major modification of existing emergency responsefacilities or equipment requires the specific approval of the responsibleOffice Director.3.8 The NRC recognizes that acceptable alternative methods of phasing andintegrating emergency response activities may be developed. Each licenseeneeds flexibility in integrating these activities, taking into account thevarying degree to which the licensee has implemented past requirements and | |||
-6 -guidance. An example of a way in which these activities could beintegrated is discussed below. Other methods of integration proposedby licensees would be reviewed considering licensees' progress oneach initiative.a. SPDS(1) Review the functions of the nuclear power plant operatingstaff that are necessary to recognize and cope with rareevents that (a) pose significant contributions to risk,(b) could cause operators to make cognitive errors in diag-nosing them, and (c) are not included in routine operatortraining programs.(2) Combine the results of this review with accepted humanfactors-principles to select parameters, data display,and functions to be incorporated in the SPDS.(3) Design, build, and install the SPDS in the control room andtrain its users.b. To be done in parallel without delaying SPDS, complete emergency-operating procedure technical guidelines that will be used todevelop plant-specific emergency operating procedures.c. Using these EOP technical guidelines, the SPDS design, and acceptedhuman factors principles, conduct a review of the control roomdesign. Apply the results of this review to:(1) Verify SPDS parameter selection, data display, and functions.(2) Develop plant-specific EOPs.(3) Design control room modifications that correct conditionsadverse to safety (reduce significant contributions to risk),and add additional instrumentation that may be necessary toimplement Regulatory Guide 1.97.(4) Train and qualify plant operating staff regarding upgraded EOPsand modifications.d. Verify, prior to finalization of designs for modifications and ofprocedures and training, that the functions of control room operatorsin emergencies can be accomplished (i.e., that the individual initia-tives-have been integrated sufficiently to meet the needs of con-trol room operators and provide adequate emergency response capa-bilities).e. Implement EOPs and install control room modifications coincidentwith scheduled outages as necessary, and train operators inadvance of these changes as they are phased into operation. | |||
-7-4. SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM (SPDS)4.1 Requirementsa. The SPDS should provide a concise display of critical plantvariables to the control room operators to aid them in rapidlyand reliably determining the safety status of the plant.Although the SPDS will be operated during normal operationsas well as during abnormal conditions, the principal purposeand function of the SPDS is to aid the control room personnelduring abnormal and emergency conditions in determining thesafety status of the plant and in assessing whether abnormalconditions warrant corrective action by operators to avoida degraded core. This can be particularly important duringanticipated transients and the initial phase of an accident.b. Each operating reactor shall be provided with a Safety ParameterDisplay System that is located convenient to the control roomoperators. This system will continuously display informationfrom which the plant safety status can be readily and reliably.assessed by control room personnel who are responsible for theavoidance of degraded and damaged core events.c. The control room instrumentation required (see General DesignCriteria 13 and 19 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50) provides theoperators with the information necessary for safe reactoroperation under normal, transient, and accident conditions.The SPDS is used in addition to the basic components and servesto aid and augment these components. Thus, requirements applic-able to control room instrumentation are not needed for thisaugmentation (e.g., GOC 2, 3, 4 in Appendix A; 10 CFR Part 100;single-failure requirements). The SPDS need not meet requirementsof the single-failure criteria and it need not be qualified tomeet Class IE requirements. The SPDS shall be suitably isolatedfrom electrical or electronic interference with equipment andsensors that are in use for safety systems. The SPDS need not beseismically qualified, and additional seismically qualified indi-cation is not required for the sole purpose of being a backup forSPDS. Procedures which describe the timely and correct safetystatus assessment when the SPDS is and is not available, will bedeveloped by the licensee in parallel with the SPDS. Furthermore,operators should be trained to respond to accident conditions bothwith and without the SPDS available.d. There is a wide range of useful information that can be providedby various systems. This information is reflected in such staffdocuments as NUREG-0696, NUREG-0835, and Regulatory Guide 1.97 | |||
* -8Prompt implementation of an SPDS can provide an important contri-bution to plaot safety. The selection of specific informationthat should be provided for a particular plant shall be based onengineering judgement of individual plant licensees, taking intoaccount the importance of prompt implementation.e. The SPDS display shall be designed to incorporate accepted humanfactors principles so that the displayed information can bereadily preceived and comprehended by SPDS users.f. The minimum information to be provided shall be sufficient toprovide information to plant operators about:(i) Reactivity control(ii) Reactor core cooling and heat removal from the primarysystem(iii) Reactor coolant system integrity(iv) Radioactivity control(v) Containment conditionsThe specific paramenters to be displayed shall be determined bythe licensee.4.2 Documentation and NRC Reviewa. The licensee shall prepare a written safety analysis describingthe basis on which the selected parameters are sufficient toassess the safety status of each identified function for a widerange of events, which include symptoms of severe accidents.Such analysis, along with the specific implementation plan forSPDS shall be reviewed as described below.b. The licensee's proposed implementation of an SPDS system shall bereviewed in accordance with the licensee's technical specifica-tions to determined whether the changes involve an unreviewedsafety question or change of technical specifications. If theydo, the shall be processed in the normal fashion with prior NRCreview. If the changes do not involve an unreviewed safety ques-tion or a change in the technical specifications, the licenseemay implement such changes without prior approval by NRC or mayrequest a pre-implementation review and approval. If the changesare to be implemented without prior NRC approval, the licensee'sanalysis shall be submitted to NRC promptly on completion ofreview by the licensee's offsite safety review committee. Basedon the results of NRC review, the Director of IE or the Directorof NRR may request or direct the licensee to cease implementationif a serious safety question is posed by the licensee's proposedsystem, or if the licensee's analysis is seriously inadequate. | |||
.I ..I .I .-9-4.3 IntegrationPrompt implementation of an SPDS is a design goal and of primaryimportance. The schedule for implementing SPDS should not be impactedby schedules for the control room design review and development offunction-oriented emergency operating procedures. For this reason,licensees should develop and propose an integrated schedule forimplementation in which the SPDS design is an input to the otherinitiatives. If reasonable, this schedule will be accepted by NRC.4.4 Reference DocumentsNUREG-0660NUREG-0737NUREG-0696NUREG-0835Reg.

-10 -5. DETAILED CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEW5.1 Requirementsa. The objective of the control room design review is to "improvethe ability of nuclear power plant control room operators to pre-vent accidents or cope with accidents if they occur by improvingthe information provided to them" (from NUREG-0660, Item I.D.1).As a complement to improvements of plant operating staff capabil-ities in response to transients and other abnormal conditionsthat will result from implementation of the SPDS and from up-graded emergency operating procedures, this design review willidentify any modifications of control room configurations thatwould contribute to a significant reduction of risk and enhancementin the safety of operation. Decisions to modify the control roomwould include consideration of long-term risk reduction and anypotential temporary decline in safety after modifications resultingfrom the need to relearn maintenance and operating procedures.This should be carefully reviewed by persons competent in humanfactors engineering and risk analysis.b. Conduct a control room design review to identify human engineeringdiscrepancies. The review shall consist of:(i) The establishment of a qualified multidisciplinary reviewteam and a review program incorporating accepted humanengineering principles.(ii) The use of function and task analysis (that had been usedas the basis for developing emergency operating proceduresTechnical Guidelines and plant specific emergency operatingprocedures) to identify control room operator tasks andinformation and control requirements during emergencyoperations. This analysis has multiple purposes and shouldalso serve as the basis for developing training and staffingneeds and verifying SPDS parameters.(iii) A comparison of the display and control requirements with acontrol room inventory to identify missing displays andcontrols.(iv) A control room survey to identify deviations from acceptedhuman factors principles. This survey will include, amongother things, an assessment of the control room layout,the usefulness of audible and visual alarm systmes, theinformation recording and recall capability, and thecontrol room environment. | |||
* I-11 -c. Assess which human engineering discrepancies are significant andshould be corrected. Select design improvements that will correctthose discrepancies. Improvements that can be accomplished withan enhancement program (paint-tape-label) should be done promptly.d. Verify that each selected design improvement will provide thenecessary correction, and can be introduced in the control roomwithout creating any unacceptable human engineering discrepanciesbecause of significant contribution to increased risk, unreviewedsafety questions, or situations in which a temporary reduction insafety could occur. Improvements that are introduced should becoordinated with changes resulting from other improvement programssuch as SPDS, operator training, new instrumentation (Reg. Guide1.97, Rev. 2), and upgraded emergency operating procedures.5.2 Documentation and NRC Reviewa. All licensees shall submit a program plan within two months ofthe start of the control room review that describes how items 1,2 and 3 above will be accomplished. The staff will review the.program plans as licensees conduct their reviews, and selectedlicensee will undergo an in-progress audit by the NRR humanfactors staff based on the program plans and advice from residentinspectors and Project Managers.b. All licensees shall submit a summary report of the completed reviewoutlining proposed control room changes, including their proposedschedules for implementation. The report will also provide asummary Justification for human engineering discrepancies withsafety significance to be left uncorrected or partially corrected.c. The staff will review the summary reports, and within two weeksafter receipt of the licensee's summary report, will inform licen-sees whether a pre-implementation onsite audit will be conducted.The decision will be based on the content of the program plan, thesummary report, and the results of NRR in-progress audits, if any.The licensee selection for pre-implementation audit may or may notinclude licensees selected for in-progress audits under paragraph 1.d. For control rooms selected for pre-implementation onsite audit,within one month after receipt of the summary report, the NRC willconduct:(I) A pre-implementation audit of proposed modifications (e.g.,equipment additions, deletions and relocations, and proposedmodifications). | |||
-12 -(ii) An audit of the justification for those human engineeringdiscrepancies of safety significance to be left uncorrectedor only partially corrected.The audit will consist of a review of the licensee's record of thecontrol room reviews, discussions with the licensee review team,and usually a control room visit. Within a month after thisonsite audit, NRC will issue its safety evaluation report (SER).e. For control rooms for which NRC does not perform a pre-implementation onsite audit, NRC will conduct a review and issueits SER within two months after receipt of the licensee's summaryreport. The review shall be similar to that conducted for pre-implementation plants under paragraph 4 above, except that it doesnot include a specific audit. The SER shall indicate whether,based on the review carried out, changes in the licensee's modifi-cation plan are needed to assure operational safety. Flexibilityis considered in the control room review, because certain controlboard discrepancies can be overcome by techniques not involvingcontrol board changes. These techniques could include improved -procedures, improved training, or the SPDS.f. The following approach will be used for OL review. For OL appli-cations with SSER dates prior to June 1983, licensing may bebased on either a Preliminary Design Assessment or a ControlRoom Design Review (CRDR) at the applicant's option. However,applicants who choose the Preliminary Design Assessment optionare required to perform a CRDR after licensing. For applicationswith SSER dated after June 1983, Control Room Design Reviewwill be required prior to licensing.g. After the staff has issued an SER and licensees have addressed anyopen issues, they may begin their upgrade according to an approvedschedule that has been negotiated with the staff.5.3 Reference DocumentsNUREG-0585 -- States that licensees should conduct review.NUREG-0660 -- States that NRR will require reviews for(Rev. 1) operating reactors and operating licenseeapplicants.NUREG-0700 -- Final guidelines for CRDR.NUREG-0737 -- States that requirement was issued June,1980, final guidance not yet issued.NUREG-0801-- Staff evaluation criteria. | |||
-13 -6. REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97 -APPLICATION TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES6.1 Requirementsa. Functional StatementRegulatory Guide 1.97 provides data to assist control roomoperators in preventing and mitigating the consequences ofreactor accidents.b. Control RoomProvide measurements and indication of Type A, B, C, D, Evariables listed in Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2). Individuallicensees may take exceptions based on plant-specific designfeatures. BWR incore thermocouples and continuous offsite dosemonitors are not required pending their further development andconsideration as requirements. It is acceptable to rely oncurrently installed equipment if it will measure over the rangeindicated in Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2), even if the equipmentis presently not environmentally qualified. Eventually, all theequipment required to monitor the course of an accident would beenvironmentally qualified in accordance with the pending Commissionrule on Environmental qualification.Provide reliable indication of the meteorological variables (winddirection, wind speed, and atmospheric stability) specified inRegulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2) for site meteorology. No changesin existing meteorological monitoring systems are necessary ifthey have historically provided reliable indication of these vari-ables that are representative of meteorological conditions in thevicinity (up to about 10 miles) of the plant site. Information onmeteorological conditions for the region in which the site islocated shall be available via communication with the NationalWeather Service. These requirements supersede the clarificationof NUREG-0737, Item III.A.2.2.c. Technical Support Center (TSC)The Type A, B, C, D and E variables that are essential for perfor-mance of TSC functions shall be available in the TSC.(i) BWR incore thermocouples and continuous offsite dose moni-tors are not required pending their further developmentand consideration as requirements.(ii) The indicators and associated circuitry shall be of reliabledesign but need not meet Class IE, single-failure or seismicqualification requirements. | |||
-14 -d. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)(i) Those primary indicators needed to monitor containmentconditions and releases of radioactivity from the plantshall be available in the EOF.(ii) The EOF data indications and associated circuitry shallbe of reliable design but need not meet Class IE, single-failure or seismic qualification requirements.6.2 Documentation and NRC ReviewNRC review is not a prerequisite for implementation. Staff reviewwill be in the form of an audit that will include a review of thelicensee's method of implementing Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2)guidance and the licensee's supporting technical Justification ofany proposed alternatives.The licensee shall submit a report describing how it meets theserequirements. The submittal should include documentation whichmay be in the form of a table that includes the following informationfor each Type A, B, C, D, E variable shown in Regulatory Guide 1.97(Rev. 2).(a) instrument range(b) environmental qualification (as stipulated in guide or statecriteria)(c) seismic qualification (as stipulated in guide or state criteria)(d) quality assurance (as stipulated in guide or state criteria)(e) redundance and sensor(s) location(s)(f) power supply (e.g., Class 1E, non-Class IE, battery backed)(g) location of display (e.g., control room board, SPDS, chemicallaboratory)(h) schedule (for installation or upgrade)Deviations from the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2) shouldbe explicitly shown, and supporting Justification or alternativesshould be presented. | |||
-15 -7. UPGRADE EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES (EOPs)7.1 Requirementsa. The use of human factored, function oriented, emergency operatingprocedures will improve human reliability and the ability tomitigate the consequences of a broad range of initiating eventsand subsequent multiple failures or operator errors, withoutthe need to diagnose specific events.b. In accordance with NUREG-0737, Item I.C.1, reanalyze transientsand accidents and prepare Technical Guidelines.

Designed taking into account good human factors engineeringprinciples.8.4.2 Documentation and NRC ReviewThe conceptual design for emergency response facilities (TSC,OSC, and EOF) have been submitted to NRC for review. Inmany cases, the lack of detail in these submittals has precludedan NRC decision of acceptability. Some designs have beendisapproved because they clearly did not meet the intent ofthe applicable regulations. NRC does riot intend to approveeach design prior to implementation, but rather has providedin this document those requirements which should be satisfied.These requirements provided a degree of flexibility withinwhich licensees can exercise management prerogatives indesigning and building emergency response facilities (ERF)that satisfy specific needs of each licensee. The foremostconsideration regarding ERFs is that they provide adequate | |||
-24 -adequate capabilities of licensees to respond to emergencies.NUREG guidance on ERFs has been intended to address specificIssues which the Commission believes should be considered inachieving improved capabilities.Licensees should assure that the design of ERFs satisfiesthese requirements. Exemptions from or alternative methodsof implementing these requirements should be discussed withNRC staff and in some cases could require Commission approval.Licensees should continue work on ERFs to complete them accord-ing to schedules that will be negotiated on a plant-specificbasis. NRC will conduct appraisals of completed facilitiesto verify that these requirements have been satisfied andthat ERFs are capable of performing their intended functions.Licensees need not document their actions on each specific itemcontained in NUREG-0696 or 0814. | |||

Revision as of 19:16, 6 April 2018
IfDecember 17, 1982TO ALL LICENSEES OF OPERATING REACTORS, APPLICANTS FOR OPERATINGLICENSES, AND HOLDERS OF CONSTRUCTION PERMITSGentlemen:SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENT 1 TO NUREG-0737 -REQUIREV4ENTS FOR EMERGENCYRESPONSE CAPABILITY (GENERIC LETTER 82-33)On October 31, 1980, the NRC staff issued NUREG-0737, which Incorporatedinto one document all TMI-related items approved for implementation bythe Commission at that time. The purpose of this letter is to provideadditional clarification regarding Safety Parameter Display Systems,Detailed Control Room Design Reviews, Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Revision 2) -Application to Emergency Response Facilities, Upgrade of EmergencyOperating Procedures, Emergency Response Facilities, and MeteorologicalData.The enclosures to this letter are a distillation of the basic requirementsfor these topics from the broad range of guidance documents that the NRChas issued (principally NUREG reports and Regulatory Guides). It is ourintent that the guidance documents themselves, referred to in the enclo-sures, are not to be used as requirements, but rather that they are to beused as sources of guidance for NRC reviewers and licensees regardingacceptable means for meeting the basic requirements.The following items In NUREG-0737 are affected:I .C.1I.D.1I.D.2Guidance for the Evaluation and Development of Procedures forTransients and AccidentsControl Room Design ReviewsPlant Safety Parameter Display ConsoleIII. A.1.2III.A.2.2Upgrade Emergency Support Facilities.Meteorological DataThe requirements and guidance contained in the enclosure to this letterreplace the corresponding requirements in the affected NUREG-0737 itemsand should be used by you in meeting the goals of these action plan items.You should also note that the staffing levels in table 2 to the enclosureare only goals, and are not strict requirements.11X" 6, .11/I il/I /t J, \6" 1-1 -10821 2 O 6 349(OFFICER .... ........................ ............ ............... ......... ............... ........................ ......... .................... ......... ........................ ........vE;SURNAME 4 ....... ..................... ............... ......... ............... ............ ........................ ....................................... ........................ ............... ...............DATE ... ..................... ... ............... ____ ........................ ........................ ................................................ ........................IdNRC FORM 318 (10-80) NRCM 0240O FFICIA L R EC O RD C OPYUISGPO: 1981-33549W
-2-You will note that the enclosure does not specify a schedule for completinthe requirements. It has become apparent, through discussions with ownersgroups and Individual licensees, that our previous schedules did not ade-quately consider the integration of these related activities. In recog-nition of this and the difficulty in implementing generic deadlines, theCommission has adopted a plan to establish realistic plant-specific schedulesthat take into account the unique aspects of the work at each plant. Bythis plan, each licensee is to develop and submit its own plant-specificschedule which will be reviewed by the assigned NRC Project Manager. TheNRC Project Manager and licensee will reach an agreement on the finalschedule and in this manner provide for prompt implementation of theseimportant improvements while optimizing the use of utility and NRC resources.Applicants for construction permits are expected to comply with the require-ments of 10 CFR 50.34(f), and should consider this document to be additionalguidance in meeting these requirements. For holders of construction permitsand applicants for operating licenses, plant-specific schedules for theimplementation of these requirements will be developed In a manner similarto that being used for operating reactors, taking into consideration thedegree of completion of the power plant.In order to answer questions you may have regarding the Comm-ission's policyon these issues and the implementation process to be used by project managers,regional workshops will be conducted by senior staff members according to thefollowing schedule:Region I Washington,-D. C.-.--Week of 2/14/83Region II Atlanta, Ga. -Week of 2/21/83,Region III Chicago, Ill. -Week of 2/21/83'Region IV & V San Francisco, CA -Week of 2/28/83You will be notified of specific locations and times for the workshops ata later time.Accordingly, pursuant to 50.54(f), operating reactor licensees and holdersof construction permits are requested to furnish, no later than April 15,1983 a proposed schedule for completing each of the basic requirements forthe items identified in the enclosures to this letter. You are encouragedto work closely with your NRC Project Manager during this process so thatwe can reach an agreement on the final schedule as quickly as possible. Inaddition, you are requested to submit with it a description of your plansfor phased implementation and integration of the emergency response activities.Your plans for integration will be reviewed as part of our evaluation ofyour proposed schedule. After the staff completes this evaluation, it willtake action, as necessary, to assure that such requirements and commitmentsare appropriately enforceable.OF IE ............. ............. ............. ............. ............. ....1........ ........1...SU N M O ............. ........ ............. .......................... ............. ............DATIE ~ ............ ............I............-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ................... ..................... .................... ...................US ' 19813%-9NRC FORM 318 (10-W) NRCM 0240I OFFICIAL Kr_1k.%JKLJ uswo- 1981-%-05-9m

INTRODUCTIONThis supplement was prepared as a result of a review by the Committeeto Review Generic Requirements (CRGR). The supplement represents thestaff's attempt to distill the fundamental requirements for nuclearplant Emergency Response Capability from the wide range of guidancedocuments that the NRC has issued. It is not intended that these guidancedocuments (NUREG reports and Regulatory Guides) be implemented as written;rather, they should be regarded as useful sources of guidance for licen-sees and NRC staff regarding acceptable means for meeting the fundamentalrequirements contained in this document. It is also not intended thateither the guidance documents or the fundamental requirements are to beconsidered binding legal requirements at this time. As indicated below,however, the fundamental requirements will be translated into bindinglegal requirements in the manner specified.These requirements are a further delineation of the general guidanceissued previously by the Commission in its regulations, orders and policystatements on emergency planning and TMI issues. It is intended thatthese requirements would be applicable to licensees of operating nuclearpower plants. For applicants for a construction permit (CP) or manufac-turing license (ML), the requirements described in this document must besupplemented with the specific provisions in the rule specifying licensingrequirements for pending CP and ML applications. Thus, compliance withrequirements in this document may not be sufficient to meet the relatedrequirements in 10 CFR 50.34(f) and Appendix E. In this regard, it isexpected that the staff would review CP and ML applications against theguidance in the current Standard Review Plan (which includes the provisionsof NUREG-0718) and this might lead to more detailed requirements than pre-scribed in this document in order to satisfy the requirements of 50.34(f)and Appendix E.Based on discussions with licensees, the staff has learned that many of theCommission approved schedules for emergency response facilities probably willnot be met. In recognition of this fact and the difficulty of implementinggeneric deadlines, plant-specific schedules will be established which takeinto account the unique status'of each plant. The following sequence fordeveloping implementation schedules will be used.The requirements for emergency response capabilities and facilities are beingtransmitted to licensees by this supplement and are being promulgated to NRCstaff. The letter which forwards this supplement requests that licensees submita proposed schedule for completing actions to comply with the requirements.
-2-Each licensee's proposed schedule will then be reviewed by the assignedNRC Project Manager, who will discuss the subject with the licensee andmutually agree on schedules and completion dates. The implementationdates will then be formalized into an enforceable document.The requirements in this document do not alter previously issued guidance,which remains in effect. This document does attempt to place that guidancein perspective by identifying the elements that the NRC staff believes tobe essential to upgrade emergency response capabilities. The proposal toformalize implementation dates in an enforceable document reflects the levelof importance which the NRC staff attributes to these requirements. TheCommission does not believe that existing guidance should be imposed in thismanner, but rather that it be used as guidance to be considered in upgradingemergency response capabilities. This indicates the distinction which thestaff believes should be made between the requirements and guidance.The following sections describe the requirements, their interrelationhips,and NRC actions to improve management of emergency response regulations.Reference documents are cited with a description of content as it relatesto specific initiatives.The requirements set forth in this document have been reviewed by the Commis-sion and, at a meeting held July 16, 1982, were approved by the Commission asappropriately clarifying and providing greater detail with respect to relatedTMI Action Plan requirements contained in NUREG-0737 for all operating licenseapplicants. These requirements are, therefore, to be accorded the status ofapproved NUREG-0737 items as set forth in the Commission's "Statement of Policy:Further Commission Guidance for Power Reactor Operating Licenses" (45 FR 85236),December 24, 1980). In this connection, the provisions for scheduling set forthherein supersede any schedules with respect to such items contained in NUREG-0737.Accordingly, the requirements should be used by the staff and by adjudicatoryboards as appropriate clarifications and interpretation of the related NUREG-0737items.The requirements set forth in this document are believed to be consistent withthe requirements regarding related items for construction permits and manufactur-ing licenses contained in 10 CFR 50.34(f) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E. Accor-dingly, no changes to these regulations are required.

USE OF EXISTING DOCUMENTATIONThe following NUREG documents are intended to be used as sources of guidanceand information, and the Regulatory Guides are to be considered as guidanceor as an acceptable approach to meeting formal requirements. The items byvirtue of their inclusion in these documents shall not be misconstrued asrequirements to be levied on licensees or as inflexible criteria to be usedby NRC staff reviewers.NUREG Report Titles0696 -Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities0700 -Guidelines for Control Room Design Reviews0799 -Draft Criteria for Preparation of Emergency OperatingProcedures (to be superseded by NUREG-0899)0801 -Evaluation Criteria for Detailed Control Room DesignReviews0814 -Methodology for Evaluation of Emergency Response Facilities0818 -Emergency Action Levels for Light Water Reactors0835 -Human Factors Acceptance Criteria for SPDS0899 -Guidelines for the Preparation of Emergency OperatingProcedures: Resolution of Comments on NUREG-0799RegulatoryGuides Titles1.23 -Meteorological Measurement Program for Nuclear Power(Rev. 1) Plants1.97 -Instrumentation for Light-Water Cooled Nuclear Power(Rev. 2) Plants to Assess Plant and Environs Conditions Duringand Following an Accident1.101 -Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants(Rev. 2)1.47 -Bypassed and Inoperable Status Indication for NuclearPower Plant Safety Systems
-4-3. COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION OF INITIATIVES3.1 The design of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), design ofinstrument displays based on Regulatory Guide 1.97 guidance, controlroom design review, development of function oriented emergency operatingprocedures, and operating staff training should be integrated withrespect to the overall enhancement of operator ability to comprehendplant conditions and cope with emergencies. Assessment of informationneeds and display formats and locations should be performed by individuallicensees. The SPDS could affect other control room improvements thatlicensees may consider. In some cases, a good SPDS may obviate the needfor large-scale control room modifications. Installation of the SPDSshould not be delayed by slower progress on other initiatives, and shouldnot be contingent on completion of the control room design review. Norshould other initiatives, such as upgraded emergency operating procedures,be impacted by delays in SPDS procurement. While the NRC does not planto impose additional requirements on licensees regarding SPDS, the NRCwill work with the industry to assure the development of appropriate industrystandards for SPDS systems.3.2 Implementation of part or all of Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2) representsa control room improvement. The implementation of control room improve-ments is not contingent on implementing Technical Support Center (TSC) andEmergency Operations Facility (EOF) requirements.3.3 The Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)are dependent on control room improvements in terms of communication andinstrumentation needs among the TSC, EOF, and control room. TSC and EOFfacilities are not necessarily dependent on each other. The OperationalSupport Center (OSC) is independent of TSC and EOF.3.4 The three groups of initiatives--SPDS, control room improvements, andemergency response facilities (TSC, EOF, OSC)-- have the following inter-relationships:a. The SPDS is an improvement because it enhances operator ability tocomprehend plant conditions and interact in situations that requirehuman intervention. The SPDS could affect other control room improve-ments that licensees may consider. In some cases, a good SPDS couldobviate the need for extensive modifications to control rooms.b. New instrumentation that may be added to the control room snould beconsidered a requirement for inclusion in the design of the TSC andEOF only to the extent that such instrumentation is essential to theperformance of TSC and EOF functions.
-5 -c. The SPDS and control room improvements are essential elements inoperator training programs and the upgraded plant-specific emer-gency operating procedures.d. Acquisition, processing, and management of data for SPDS, controlroom improvements, and emergency response facilities should becoordinated.3.5 Specific implementation plans and reasonable, achievable schedules forimprovements that will satisfy the requirements will be established byagreement between the NRC Project Manager and each individual licensee.The NRC office responsible for implementing each requirement will deve-lop procedures identifying the following.a. The respective roles of NRR, IE, and Regional Offices in managingimplementation, checking licensee rate of progress, and verifyingcompliance, including the extent to which NRC review and inspectionis necessary during implementation.b. Procedural methods and enforcement measures that could be used toensure NRC staff and licensee attention to meeting mutually agreedupon schedules without significant delays and extensions.3.6 The NRC Project Manager for each nuclear power plant is assigned pro-gram management responsibility for NRC staff actions associated withimplementing emergency response initiatives. The NRC Project Manageris the principal contact for the licensee regarding these initiatives.3.7 The NRC will make allowances for work already done by licensees in agood-faith effort to meet requirements as they understand them. Foreach case in which a licensee would have to remove or rip out emergencyresponse-facilities or equipment that was installed in good faith tomeet previous guidance in order to meet the basic requirements describedin this document, the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulationor Inspection and Enforcement will review the circumstances and determinewhether removal is necessary or existing facilities or equipment repre-sent an acceptable alternative. Any regulatory position that wouldrequire the removal or major modification of existing emergency responsefacilities or equipment requires the specific approval of the responsibleOffice Director.3.8 The NRC recognizes that acceptable alternative methods of phasing andintegrating emergency response activities may be developed. Each licenseeneeds flexibility in integrating these activities, taking into account thevarying degree to which the licensee has implemented past requirements and
-6 -guidance. An example of a way in which these activities could beintegrated is discussed below. Other methods of integration proposedby licensees would be reviewed considering licensees' progress oneach initiative.a. SPDS(1) Review the functions of the nuclear power plant operatingstaff that are necessary to recognize and cope with rareevents that (a) pose significant contributions to risk,(b) could cause operators to make cognitive errors in diag-nosing them, and (c) are not included in routine operatortraining programs.(2) Combine the results of this review with accepted humanfactors-principles to select parameters, data display,and functions to be incorporated in the SPDS.(3) Design, build, and install the SPDS in the control room andtrain its users.b. To be done in parallel without delaying SPDS, complete emergency-operating procedure technical guidelines that will be used todevelop plant-specific emergency operating procedures.c. Using these EOP technical guidelines, the SPDS design, and acceptedhuman factors principles, conduct a review of the control roomdesign. Apply the results of this review to:(1) Verify SPDS parameter selection, data display, and functions.(2) Develop plant-specific EOPs.(3) Design control room modifications that correct conditionsadverse to safety (reduce significant contributions to risk),and add additional instrumentation that may be necessary toimplement Regulatory Guide 1.97.(4) Train and qualify plant operating staff regarding upgraded EOPsand modifications.d. Verify, prior to finalization of designs for modifications and ofprocedures and training, that the functions of control room operatorsin emergencies can be accomplished (i.e., that the individual initia-tives-have been integrated sufficiently to meet the needs of con-trol room operators and provide adequate emergency response capa-bilities).e. Implement EOPs and install control room modifications coincidentwith scheduled outages as necessary, and train operators inadvance of these changes as they are phased into operation.
-7-4. SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM (SPDS)4.1 Requirementsa. The SPDS should provide a concise display of critical plantvariables to the control room operators to aid them in rapidlyand reliably determining the safety status of the plant.Although the SPDS will be operated during normal operationsas well as during abnormal conditions, the principal purposeand function of the SPDS is to aid the control room personnelduring abnormal and emergency conditions in determining thesafety status of the plant and in assessing whether abnormalconditions warrant corrective action by operators to avoida degraded core. This can be particularly important duringanticipated transients and the initial phase of an accident.b. Each operating reactor shall be provided with a Safety ParameterDisplay System that is located convenient to the control roomoperators. This system will continuously display informationfrom which the plant safety status can be readily and reliably.assessed by control room personnel who are responsible for theavoidance of degraded and damaged core events.c. The control room instrumentation required (see General DesignCriteria 13 and 19 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50) provides theoperators with the information necessary for safe reactoroperation under normal, transient, and accident conditions.The SPDS is used in addition to the basic components and servesto aid and augment these components. Thus, requirements applic-able to control room instrumentation are not needed for thisaugmentation (e.g., GOC 2, 3, 4 in Appendix A; 10 CFR Part 100;single-failure requirements). The SPDS need not meet requirementsof the single-failure criteria and it need not be qualified tomeet Class IE requirements. The SPDS shall be suitably isolatedfrom electrical or electronic interference with equipment andsensors that are in use for safety systems. The SPDS need not beseismically qualified, and additional seismically qualified indi-cation is not required for the sole purpose of being a backup forSPDS. Procedures which describe the timely and correct safetystatus assessment when the SPDS is and is not available, will bedeveloped by the licensee in parallel with the SPDS. Furthermore,operators should be trained to respond to accident conditions bothwith and without the SPDS available.d. There is a wide range of useful information that can be providedby various systems. This information is reflected in such staffdocuments as NUREG-0696, NUREG-0835, and Regulatory Guide 1.97
- -8Prompt implementation of an SPDS can provide an important contri-bution to plaot safety. The selection of specific informationthat should be provided for a particular plant shall be based onengineering judgement of individual plant licensees, taking intoaccount the importance of prompt implementation.e. The SPDS display shall be designed to incorporate accepted humanfactors principles so that the displayed information can bereadily preceived and comprehended by SPDS users.f. The minimum information to be provided shall be sufficient toprovide information to plant operators about:(i) Reactivity control(ii) Reactor core cooling and heat removal from the primarysystem(iii) Reactor coolant system integrity(iv) Radioactivity control(v) Containment conditionsThe specific paramenters to be displayed shall be determined bythe licensee.4.2 Documentation and NRC Reviewa. The licensee shall prepare a written safety analysis describingthe basis on which the selected parameters are sufficient toassess the safety status of each identified function for a widerange of events, which include symptoms of severe accidents.Such analysis, along with the specific implementation plan forSPDS shall be reviewed as described below.b. The licensee's proposed implementation of an SPDS system shall bereviewed in accordance with the licensee's technical specifica-tions to determined whether the changes involve an unreviewedsafety question or change of technical specifications. If theydo, the shall be processed in the normal fashion with prior NRCreview. If the changes do not involve an unreviewed safety ques-tion or a change in the technical specifications, the licenseemay implement such changes without prior approval by NRC or mayrequest a pre-implementation review and approval. If the changesare to be implemented without prior NRC approval, the licensee'sanalysis shall be submitted to NRC promptly on completion ofreview by the licensee's offsite safety review committee. Basedon the results of NRC review, the Director of IE or the Directorof NRR may request or direct the licensee to cease implementationif a serious safety question is posed by the licensee's proposedsystem, or if the licensee's analysis is seriously inadequate.
.I ..I .I .-9-4.3 IntegrationPrompt implementation of an SPDS is a design goal and of primaryimportance. The schedule for implementing SPDS should not be impactedby schedules for the control room design review and development offunction-oriented emergency operating procedures. For this reason,licensees should develop and propose an integrated schedule forimplementation in which the SPDS design is an input to the otherinitiatives. If reasonable, this schedule will be accepted by NRC.4.4 Reference DocumentsNUREG-0660NUREG-0737NUREG-0696NUREG-0835Reg.

-10 -5. DETAILED CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEW5.1 Requirementsa. The objective of the control room design review is to "improvethe ability of nuclear power plant control room operators to pre-vent accidents or cope with accidents if they occur by improvingthe information provided to them" (from NUREG-0660, Item I.D.1).As a complement to improvements of plant operating staff capabil-ities in response to transients and other abnormal conditionsthat will result from implementation of the SPDS and from up-graded emergency operating procedures, this design review willidentify any modifications of control room configurations thatwould contribute to a significant reduction of risk and enhancementin the safety of operation. Decisions to modify the control roomwould include consideration of long-term risk reduction and anypotential temporary decline in safety after modifications resultingfrom the need to relearn maintenance and operating procedures.This should be carefully reviewed by persons competent in humanfactors engineering and risk analysis.b. Conduct a control room design review to identify human engineeringdiscrepancies. The review shall consist of:(i) The establishment of a qualified multidisciplinary reviewteam and a review program incorporating accepted humanengineering principles.(ii) The use of function and task analysis (that had been usedas the basis for developing emergency operating proceduresTechnical Guidelines and plant specific emergency operatingprocedures) to identify control room operator tasks andinformation and control requirements during emergencyoperations. This analysis has multiple purposes and shouldalso serve as the basis for developing training and staffingneeds and verifying SPDS parameters.(iii) A comparison of the display and control requirements with acontrol room inventory to identify missing displays andcontrols.(iv) A control room survey to identify deviations from acceptedhuman factors principles. This survey will include, amongother things, an assessment of the control room layout,the usefulness of audible and visual alarm systmes, theinformation recording and recall capability, and thecontrol room environment.
- I-11 -c. Assess which human engineering discrepancies are significant andshould be corrected. Select design improvements that will correctthose discrepancies. Improvements that can be accomplished withan enhancement program (paint-tape-label) should be done promptly.d. Verify that each selected design improvement will provide thenecessary correction, and can be introduced in the control roomwithout creating any unacceptable human engineering discrepanciesbecause of significant contribution to increased risk, unreviewedsafety questions, or situations in which a temporary reduction insafety could occur. Improvements that are introduced should becoordinated with changes resulting from other improvement programssuch as SPDS, operator training, new instrumentation (Reg. Guide1.97, Rev. 2), and upgraded emergency operating procedures.5.2 Documentation and NRC Reviewa. All licensees shall submit a program plan within two months ofthe start of the control room review that describes how items 1,2 and 3 above will be accomplished. The staff will review the.program plans as licensees conduct their reviews, and selectedlicensee will undergo an in-progress audit by the NRR humanfactors staff based on the program plans and advice from residentinspectors and Project Managers.b. All licensees shall submit a summary report of the completed reviewoutlining proposed control room changes, including their proposedschedules for implementation. The report will also provide asummary Justification for human engineering discrepancies withsafety significance to be left uncorrected or partially corrected.c. The staff will review the summary reports, and within two weeksafter receipt of the licensee's summary report, will inform licen-sees whether a pre-implementation onsite audit will be conducted.The decision will be based on the content of the program plan, thesummary report, and the results of NRR in-progress audits, if any.The licensee selection for pre-implementation audit may or may notinclude licensees selected for in-progress audits under paragraph 1.d. For control rooms selected for pre-implementation onsite audit,within one month after receipt of the summary report, the NRC willconduct:(I) A pre-implementation audit of proposed modifications (e.g.,equipment additions, deletions and relocations, and proposedmodifications).
-12 -(ii) An audit of the justification for those human engineeringdiscrepancies of safety significance to be left uncorrectedor only partially corrected.The audit will consist of a review of the licensee's record of thecontrol room reviews, discussions with the licensee review team,and usually a control room visit. Within a month after thisonsite audit, NRC will issue its safety evaluation report (SER).e. For control rooms for which NRC does not perform a pre-implementation onsite audit, NRC will conduct a review and issueits SER within two months after receipt of the licensee's summaryreport. The review shall be similar to that conducted for pre-implementation plants under paragraph 4 above, except that it doesnot include a specific audit. The SER shall indicate whether,based on the review carried out, changes in the licensee's modifi-cation plan are needed to assure operational safety. Flexibilityis considered in the control room review, because certain controlboard discrepancies can be overcome by techniques not involvingcontrol board changes. These techniques could include improved -procedures, improved training, or the SPDS.f. The following approach will be used for OL review. For OL appli-cations with SSER dates prior to June 1983, licensing may bebased on either a Preliminary Design Assessment or a ControlRoom Design Review (CRDR) at the applicant's option. However,applicants who choose the Preliminary Design Assessment optionare required to perform a CRDR after licensing. For applicationswith SSER dated after June 1983, Control Room Design Reviewwill be required prior to licensing.g. After the staff has issued an SER and licensees have addressed anyopen issues, they may begin their upgrade according to an approvedschedule that has been negotiated with the staff.5.3 Reference DocumentsNUREG-0585 -- States that licensees should conduct review.NUREG-0660 -- States that NRR will require reviews for(Rev. 1) operating reactors and operating licenseeapplicants.NUREG-0700 -- Final guidelines for CRDR.NUREG-0737 -- States that requirement was issued June,1980, final guidance not yet issued.NUREG-0801-- Staff evaluation criteria.

Designed taking into account good human factors engineeringprinciples.8.4.2 Documentation and NRC ReviewThe conceptual design for emergency response facilities (TSC,OSC, and EOF) have been submitted to NRC for review. Inmany cases, the lack of detail in these submittals has precludedan NRC decision of acceptability. Some designs have beendisapproved because they clearly did not meet the intent ofthe applicable regulations. NRC does riot intend to approveeach design prior to implementation, but rather has providedin this document those requirements which should be satisfied.These requirements provided a degree of flexibility withinwhich licensees can exercise management prerogatives indesigning and building emergency response facilities (ERF)that satisfy specific needs of each licensee. The foremostconsideration regarding ERFs is that they provide adequate
-24 -adequate capabilities of licensees to respond to emergencies.NUREG guidance on ERFs has been intended to address specificIssues which the Commission believes should be considered inachieving improved capabilities.Licensees should assure that the design of ERFs satisfiesthese requirements. Exemptions from or alternative methodsof implementing these requirements should be discussed withNRC staff and in some cases could require Commission approval.Licensees should continue work on ERFs to complete them accord-ing to schedules that will be negotiated on a plant-specificbasis. NRC will conduct appraisals of completed facilitiesto verify that these requirements have been satisfied andthat ERFs are capable of performing their intended functions.Licensees need not document their actions on each specific itemcontained in NUREG-0696 or 0814.
