1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
This Program Plan Summary Report has been prepared in response to NUREG-0737 paragraph I.D.I. This report describes the program for the Detailed Control Room Design Review (DCRDR) conducted for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) owned and operated by the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E). The outline of this report follows that recommended in NUREG-0700, Paragraph 5.1 (September 1981), as follows:
- 1. Introduction (Review Plan)
- 2. Management and Staffing
- 3. Documentation and Document Control
- 4. Technical Approach
- 5. Assessment and Implementation.
Implementation of the program described herein met the objectives of NUREG/CR-1580 and closely followed the guidance of that document. The DCRDR was conducted between May 1980 and May 1981. In addition, this document outlines special studies undertaken by BG&E to provide a more thorough review or enhancement of the human factors engineering (HFE) portion of the control room (CR) design. "Special studies" refers to tasks beyond the scope of the NUREG/CR-1580 review that utilized data from existing HFE, learning theory, and industrial psychology literature (for detailed informa-tion, see Section 4.7).
BG&E and Essex are satisfied that the results obtained in conformance with NUREG/CR-1580, combined with the special studies, provides a comprehensive review of all HFE aspects of the CCNPP control room. It should be noted that three portions of the review were revised after the release of NUREG-0700. The revised tasks were the control room illumination survey, noise survey, and operator-protective equipment survey.
It must be emphasized that the applicable industry document specifying HFE criteria during the review period was NUREG/CR-1580. The DCRDR was completed in i
good faith to meet the regulatory requirements of the day. Approximately six months after the completion of the BG&E DCRDR, NUREG-0700 was published. With the
} exception of the three surveys mentioned previously, BG&E did not re-evaluate the DCRDR results in light of this new document. It is BG&E's position that the differences 1
between NUREG/CR-1580 and NUREG-0700 have been accommodated, given that the completed DCRDR was thorough and based on sound human engineering principles.
BG&E does recognize differences between the documents. First, NUREG/CR-1580 relied heavily on human factors engineering checklists as a data collection device, where NUREG-0700 uses surveys as the primary source of data. While the methods of data collection varied, the end result is similar, i.e., the generation of human engineering discrepancy reports. Although a CR inventory per se was et conducted, the same information can be obtained from the CCNPP review using the photo mosaic, and materials from the project library such as equipment specificaticas and the instrument list. The most significant difference be tween the two approaches is task analysis. At the time of the CCNPF DCRDR, procedur c' walk-throughs and task analyses were conducted using the available event-related emu ;ency operating procedures (EOP). New require-ments specify the use of symptom-based EOPs. To date, symptom-based procedures have not been developed at Calvert Cliffs. When such procedures become available, BG&E will revise the CCNPP task analysis.
This program summary does not discuss any review findings or recommendations.
This information is contained in the Final Report and HED Status Record.
1.2 Task Phasing The review was conducted in four phases, as follows:
o Phase 1 - Project Planning e Phase 2 - CR Review e Phase 3 - Evaluation of HED Reports e Phase 4 - Reporting.
Figure I shows, in general, the phases and task flow for conducting the DCRDR.
Detailed descriptions of the objectives, methods, and procedures are contained in Section 4.0 (Technical Approach) of this document. A summary.of the activities of each phase is contained in subsequent paragraphs of this section.
1.2.1 Phase 1 - Project Planning A project management plan was drawn up, an activities schedule was developed, and a library of control room-related documentation was established. The project planning phase was subdivided into four tasks as follows:

1.2.1.1 Evaluation Team Selection - The evaluation team members were selected from the human factors staff of the Essex Corporation and from groups representing the required operations, engineering, and maintenance disciplines at BG&E. The evaluation team is described in detail in Section 2.0.
1.2.1.2 Project Library Preparation - The project library was established with reference documents used to support the Calvert Cliffs CR evaluation (see Section 3.0).
These documents included, but were not limited to, the following:
e Licensee Event Reports
- FSARs e Technical Specifications e System Descriptions e Piping and instrumentation Drawings e Floor plans e Panel drawings and photographs e Sof tware descriptions e Procedures (EOP, AOP, OP, etc.)
e Samples of computer printouts e Various NRC and indusuy documents bearing on CR design (1580, 0700, IEEE specs and standards, HF texts, etc.).
1.2.1.3 Management Procedures Preparation - Technical management systems and procedures were prepared to govern the storage, processing, and recovery of data produced by the CR evaluation. The system allowed technical and management decisionmaking to be readily accessed. In addition, this provided a method for locating data for auditing purposes. A more complete description of the management systems and procedures is provided in Section 3.0 (Documentation and Document Control).
1.2.1.4 Data Collection and Reporting Schedule - A schedule was established for both data collection and reporting. Data collection was proposed to take 32 weeks.
1 Various constraints were considered when establishing this schedule. These included operations personnel availability; control room activities restricting accessibility (e.g.,
maintenance, testing, startup of unit, etc.); and simulator availability. Writing of the rcport was estimated to require six weeks.
>q
1.2.2 Phase 2 - CR Review Data collection, reduction, and analysis occurred during this phase. The data that were collected were compared to NUREG/CR-1580 criteria. Identified deviations from these criteria were documented on Human Engineering Discrepancy (HED) reports.
Additionally, several special studies designed to enhance human-system interfaces were performed during Phase 2. The CR review phase was subdivided into the following seven tasks (see Section 4.0):
e Operator interviews e Procedural walk-throughs e Task analysis e Annuncit. tor system review 4 Human factors engineering checklists e Control room surveys
= Special studies.
1.2.3 Phase 3 - Evaluation of HED Reports Throughout all phases of the DCRDR process, an ongoing evaluation of HEDs was conducted. The HEDs were reviewed and decisions made concerning the action to be taken. As HED reports were accumulated, they were given multiple reviews and assessed for the following:
e Extent of deviations from 1580 guidelines e Impact of discrepancy upon operation e Likelihood of error e Potential consequence of error occurrence.
1.2.4 Phase 4 - Reporting Two reports were prepared that documented the findings, analyses of data, and disposition of discrepancies. These were the Final Report and the HED Status Record.
The Final Report presents an overview of the procedures used and sets forth the results of the DCRDR and of the special studies. The Human Engineering Discrepancy Status
} Record lists the disposition of each HED.

2.0 MANAGEMENT AND STAFFING 2.1 Introduction Management has demonstrated its commitment to control room safety from an HFE standpoint: BG&E accommodated the requirements set forth in the post-TMI design specifications and NUREG/CR-1580 shortly af ter their issuance. Both requirements were addressed concurrently -- prior to the issuance of NUREG-0700. BG&E saw advantages in ide.itifyirig any ir.hurent design defects and contributing input for the new requirements as quickly as possible. Committee member appointment was performed through joint agreement by BG&E managers who were responsible for the design ano operation of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant.
The datt. .o!!ection portien of this program was developed and executed by the Essex Corporatior with cooperation, but not assisumce, from BG&E personnel. This was done to enable the human factors personnel to maintain their objectivity during this phase of the study. The following subsections set for*h the responsibilities of the DCRDR managers and describes the evatur. tion team structure.
2.2 Management Responsibility 2.2.1 Introduction Overall task responsibility resides with the liscensee. To this end the line of direct
. corporate responsibility is as defined in BG&E's revised FSAR, Chapter 12, Figure 12.2.
Since the intent of this review was to assess the design adequacy of the Calvert Cliffs Control Room, administrative control resided in the Responsible Design Organization, Electric Engineering Department. Figure 2 shows the project team structure for the DCRDR.
2.2.2 The Human Engineering Program Director (HEPD)
The HEPD was the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company designated representative, 7 Mr. Michael A. Canova, who maintained the overall responsibility for the administration of the Detailed Control Room Design Review Program. His responsibilities included, but were not limited to:
A. The overall administration of the DCRDR of BG&E's nuclear generating units at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) 6

D. Coordinating and developing the necessary administrative controls to support an implementation program.
2.2.2 The Human Factors Task Coordinator (HFTC)
The HFTC responsible for the CCNPP DCRDR was Mr. Kenneth M. Mallory. Mr.
Mallory was responsible for directing and coordinating the necessary personnel, task teams, and review groups rt: quired to support the DCRDR effort. The HFTC also ceviewed each HED reported to the review comittee. This arrangement of administra-tive responsibility allowed the DCRDR management team to quickly evaluate 'project priorities, assignment of specialized key personnel based on the overall project schedule, as well as consistency of program philosophy between sister units. Mr. Mallory was assisted closely by Ms. Robin K. Eike, who acted as Project Manager, overseeing on-site ,
work and other day-to-day activities.
2.3 Evaluation Team Composition 2.3.1 Introduction The CCNPP control room design evaluation team was composed of Essex Corporation and BG&E personnel representing a cross-section of the required disciplines.
The evaluation team consisted of three functionally different groups: the Human Factors Evaluation Group, the Human Factors / Operations Support Group, and the Operational Engineering Group. The first two groups consisted primarily of Essex Corporation Human Factors Specialists, while the third group was composed of BG&E personnel representing Operations, Plant Engineering, and Staff Instrumentation and Controls Engineering. This three-group configuration does not imply that separate, noncommunicative roles were performed. Quite the reverse: close administrative coordination over the review was maintained, and interaction between groups and individuals was constant throughout the 8
evaluation period. Subsequent paragraphs address the roles of these groups, responsi-bilities of the group members, and the members' qualifications.
2.3.2 Human Factors Evaluation Group This group was composed of eight human factors specialists located in Alexandria, Virginia. The group's responsibilities were to conduct the data collection, data reduction, and preliminary data analysis phases of the design evaluation. The senior member of this group was also responsible for the Essex administration and management of project personnel, scheduling and coordination of the evaluation activities, reporting progress to the BG&E Project Manager, and representing the human factors position at HED review meetings.
This group consisted of the following individuals (resumes are prevideo in Appendix A):
e Kenneth M. Mallory - Department Director, Project Dir ector, Senior Scientist e Robin K. Eike - Project Manager, Research Scientist e Denise B. McCafferty -- Research Scientist e Stephen A. Fleger - Research Scientist e Timothy K. O'Donoghue - Research Assistant e Everett M. Boyd - Research Assistant e Candace Weiss - Research Assistant e Carol A. Kain - Research Assistant.
2.3.3 Human Factors / Operations Support Group
! This group was composed of Essex-Alexandria personnel and varied in size and make-up based on support requirements of the primary evaluation group. It had a total i
composition of six senior human factors specialists, one nuclear engineer, two reactor operators, two human factors specialists to perform data collection, and one photography specialist. This support group's responsibilities were:
e 2ssex contract support and management 1 e Review, in-depth analysis, discrepancy definition, and discrepancy resolution recommendations as required e Data collection support e Operational and engineering analysis, as required e Special study conduct, analysis, and reporting.

The group was composed of the following individuals (resumes are provided in Appendix B):
e Thomas Malone - Behavioral Sciences Division Director, Senior Research Scientist e Mark Kirkpatrick, III - Principal Investigator, Senior Research Scientist e Robert Kinkade - Senior Research Scientist e Clifford C. Baker - Senior Staff Scientist e David R. Eike - Senior Staff Scientist e Douglas Mc+ calf - Nuclear Engineering Support ,
e Walter T. Talley - Senior Scientist, Branch Manager e Tom Harding - Operations Support o Albert Strong - Operations Support e France; P!wione - Research Associate o Diane 3eorling - Research Assis+ ant e John Jacoby - Photographer.
2.3.4 Operational Engir.ceting Group This group consisted of BG&E personnel that were either permanently assigned to the evaluation team or were assigned as needed. Three of the permanent members of this group were Instrumentation and Controls Engineers with varying degrees of experience; one member was a Senior Reactor Operator. This group's responsibilities were to provide overall contract coordination, on-site documentation retrieval, and support services for the human factors data collection teams, and technical input during HED assessment.
Implementation of all modifications were to be handled under administrative procedures l . for the control of 10CFR 50.59 changes. This grcup was responsible for initiation of these
. changes within the framework of this system. (S e Section 5.2 for additional information.)

3.0 DOCUMENTATION AND DOCUMENT CONTROL 3.1 Introduction Three types of documentation were used or developed during the review. These were: (1) reference documentation, (2) data collection and HED documentation, and (3) DCRDR findings and reports. The major document control process concerned the HED documentation and the DCRDR findings and reports.
3.2 Reference Documentation A project library was established with reference documents to support the DCRDR tasks. This library contains:
- Licensee Event Repcrts
- F56Rs e Tecr.nical specifications and system descriptions e P&lDr e Floor plans e Panel drawings and photographs e Sof tware descriptions e Procedures e Samples of computer printouts e Various NRC and industry documents concerned with CR design (1580,0660,IEEE specifications and standards, HF texts, etc.).
I 3J Data Collection and HED Documentation 3J.1 Data Collection Documentation A record of each data collection task was made on specially-designed data collection forms. For detailed data collection, a set of component-level checklists was d;veloped. Each checklist contained all relevant guideline items pertaining to a class of components. Each component in the CR was identified on an appropriate checklist form and its compliance or noncompliance noted for each pertinent guideline.
Surveys were conducted using survey questionnaires which guided the researcher in collecting and recording appropriate information. Operator interviews were conducted using a questionnaire. The responses of each operator, trainee, and shift supervisor were rscorded on individual forms.
11
3.3.2 HED Reports Each HED report form contains the following information (see Figure 3): 4 e Component type e Specific nomenclature of all panel components or other equipment in violation e Location of components e Reference number of the guideline violated e Description of the human factors problem o Potential operator errors e Suggested backfit(s) e Review informatioc, including disposition.
3.4 DCRDR Finding.e ed Report 3.4d Hurnan Engineering fivalriz.tlo.i Reports (HEERs)
Summaries of the evaluation activities and the llEDs for every component on the control rooni panel were develeped. These summaries, called Human Engineering Evafuation Reports (HEERs), contain the tallowing information (see Figure 4):
o Panel / work station e Unique location code e System relationship e Component function and use o Component type and characteristics e Exact component nomenclature and system information e Data collection methods relevant to the particular component l e Record of all HEDs pertaining to the component, including specific HED numbers.
3.4.2 Task Reports For each task described in Section 4.0 a separate task report was generated which detailed the following:
e Objectives of the task plan e The actual data collection and analysis methods employed e The criteria (guidelines) implemented e Summary of findings, including positive design features as well as discrepancies and recommendations.

This document allowed easy access to information concerning the status and history of HEDs. In addition, it served as an index to more detailed technical information contained within DCRDR files.
3.5 Documentation Control Process 3.5.1 General Each step in the review process from initial data collection to final reporting was documented. The general flow of information and documentation is illustrated in Figure 6. Files were established for the storage of collected data, HED reports, HEERs, Task Reports, and the DCRDR report. Appropriate document logs and document numbering schemes were initiated to establish retrieval and audit capabilities.
3.5.2 Reference Documents Reference documents were periodically updated and revised as required during the review. The Human Engineering Program Directcr was responsible for ensuring that new and changed technical information was incorporated into the library and that appropriate team members were informed of such changes.
3.5.3 Data Collection and HED Documentation Component and survey criteria were arranged on checklists and in survey question-naires. All raw data of this type were reviewed; discrepancies were recorded in HED reports. The data were then filed for future reference.
HED reports were numbered and a review log generated for recordkeeping purposes.
HED reports are retained in an HED report section of the DCRDR files.

c 4.0 TECHNICAL APPROACH 4.1 Introduction The technical approach to the Calvert Cliffs DCRDR consisted of two basic steps:
data collection and data reduction. Data collection was accomplished by selecting and cpplying methodologies that compared features of the control room design with principles cf human factors engineering as set forth in NUREG/CR-1580," Human Engineering Guide to Control Room Evaluation." Data reduction involved: (a) identifying potential errors tssociated with design features found to be at variance with the criteria in NUREG/
CR-1580, (b) assessing the magnitude of the effect of these errors, and (c) recommending corrective actions. A number of special studies and evaluations of proposed design changer were also performed. Data collection ar.d reduction was wganized into the following processes:
o Procedural walk-throughs e Task analysis e Operator interviews e Annunciator system review (which drew upon several data collection methodologies) e Human factors engineering checklists e Control room surveys e Special studies.
Subsequent paragraphs describe the data collection and data reduction procedures used throughout this review.
4.2 Procedural Walk-Throughs The following procedures were video taped at the Unit 1-specific simulator at the Combustion Engineering facility in Windsor, Connecticut:
e EOP-1 Reactor Trip o EOP-2 Loss of Load e EOP-3 Loss of Feedwater o EOP-4 Steam Line Rupture o EOP-5 Loss of Reactor Coolant e EOP-6 Steam Generator Tube Rupture 20
e EOP-ll CEA Malfunction e EOP-12 Loss of Reactor Coolant Flow e EOP-14 Loss of Instrument Air e EOP-15 Loss of AC Power e AOP-8 Excessive Reactor Coolant Leakage e Startup e Shutdown.
The videotapes were reviewed by members of the Human Factors / Operating Support Group to identify any potential problems in the design and/or operation of the control room. Potential problem areas were documented for further study during the appropriate evaluation activities.
4.3 Task Analysis 4.3.1 Introduction The task avlysis conducted for BG&ii was a systematic and detailed examination of the sequence of operations performed by a control room operator when abnorrnal and emergency conoitions exist in the plant.
A distinction was made between the descriptive and analytical phases of a task analysis. The descriptive phase identified what was to be accomplished in operational terms. This phase focused on the physical process, specifying such aspects as the cues or stimuli which an operator perceives in the task environment and the responses which are made. The descriptive phase also identified critical operator behaviors and the CR instruments involved. The analytical phase identified equipment and behavioral implica-tions from the description.
4.3.2 Procedures The task analysis descriptive data, the associated video taped walk-through data, and the subsequent talk-through interviews of each emergency procedure were used to identify operational characteristics inherent in the overall design which affect operator performance and, therefore, system reliability. The following operational characteristics were considered for each task:
e Time to perform control response time requirements
- display information response time requirements response time requirements for events 21
o Perceptual / discrimination information
- quantity
- perceptual / discrimination requirements
- memory requirements e Control capability manipulations required
- force required
- sequential operation requirements e Task loading
- task duration
- frequency of task performance '
- information feedback accuracy requirements
- effect of error criticality / probability on task performance
- concurrent multitask requirements e Demands on operator capabilities
- sensory
- motor
- perceptual cognitive /decisionmaking
- attention

- conditioning e Impact on performance of psychophysiological states
- stress _.

'- The anitysis of the' tasks involved: (a) identifying demands imposed in each task and (b) reporting aspects of the design which potentially precluded or irnpaired the operator's I ebility to successfully accomplish each task. ,
4.4 Operatolfinterviews v , , ,
~ 4.4.1 ~Introductich '
As users of the system under revie.w, control room operators provided a unique
~
j -so,urce of information and insight into the functioning' and problems of the operator-
- system interface. Through interviews with the operators, the human factors researcher
. gained familiarity with the control rocm and acquired inferrnation concerning operability
. proble~ms. The objectives of the operator interviews were to identify the following:
1 e Most frequently used controls ar.d displays and their location e . Most frequently monitored systems i e Most frequently.used control panel segments
o Procedures'that we're difficult to execute o - Ambiguous labeling
- ,e; Confusing control / display relationships e Most critical systems and procedures
'Qe Operational problems encountered by the control room operators 4 e Strengths in control room design o Recommendations for improved operability.
t~ ,
s ' These7 objectives were accomplished by using the Essex-developed nuclear power
. plant; control room operator questionnaire. Human engineering problems were reported as

4.4.2 Procedu e The operator interviews were conducted in three steps. Initially, operators were briefed on the purpose of the CR evaluation and on the importance of receiving their input as system users and experts. Operators were briefed in groups of ten; each I operator, assured of anonymity, received a copy of the Human Engineering Questionnaire, which they were inen asked to read and complete. A human factors researcher then ,
returned for private, one-on-one interview sessions.
During the private interview sessions, the operators' responses were revieweo. \
Questions considered ambiguous were then explained and further responses recorded.
Operators were asked to point out controls or displays considered to be potential _
problems.
4.5 Annunciator System Review A survey was performed which evaluated the following characteristics of the annunciator warning system:
e Overall system function e Adequacy of audible alarms e Tile readability e Tile message comprehensibility e Message standardization e Tile grouping e Response station location and design.
4.6 Human Factors Engineering Checklists Checklists were used to evaluate items in the control room at the system and component level. These checklists were constructed by extracting criteria statements from NilREG/CR-1580 and categorizing each by topic (e.g., Visual Displays). Each component (control or display) was evaluated for compliance with criteria contained in f
the appropriate checklist; cases of noncompliance were noted. The 28 different cate-gories of checklists used for the CR evaluation are listed below:
v)
O,a e CR Environment e Simple Indicators e CR Workspace Arrangement e Legend Lights e Mimic Lines e Projection Displays -
e Procedures Documents e Vertical / Horizontal Meters a Communications e Circular Meters 24 i -
f e Labels e Trend Recorders e Rotary Selector Switches e Computers e Levers e Computers - General e Toggle Switches e Computer - Keyboard e Pushbuttons e Computer - Printer e Legend Pushbuttons e Computer - Display e Other Switches e Computer - CRT e Counters e Computer Function Switches e Process Controllers e Annunciator & Warning System Each checklist was divided into three sections: " typical," " sample," and "each component." For the " typical" section, one component was evaluated for all identical component types. Typical item checklists contained criteria which could be measured once, such as handle dimensions for a particular type of pistol-grip controller. For the
" sample" section, one component was evaluated from each variation of a component type.
Sample item checklists contained criteria which were applied to a sampling of similar components. For instance, ease of operation of a particular model of controller might be tested on several representative components. The "each component" section was the largest section. Here criteria were applied on a component-by-component basis with each component in a class compared to all relevant criteria on a point-by-point basis.
4.7 Control Room Surveys 4.7.1 Introduction A survey approach was used to collect all data of a general nature or data that could be collected by observations or measurements. The criteria used were based on human engineering principles and requirements cited in the Human Engineering Requirements Specifications and NUREG/CR-1580, " Human Engineering Guide to Control Room Evaluation." The surveys provided information on control room habitability as well as operator interfaces other than the control panel itself. The specific surveys and activities performed were:
o Control Room Workspace Arrangement e Control Room Furnishings e Control Rocm Illumination e Noise in Control Room Communications 25
e Operator-Computer Interface e Operator Protective Equipment.
4.7.2 Control Room Workspace Arrangement Survey General characteristics of the control room were evaluated, such as the layout of controls and displays on control panels, the accessibility of protective equipment, and the location and design of furnishings.
4.7.3 Control Room Furnishings Survey Consideration of control room furnishings took into account workshift, paperwork, and operational requirements. Furnishings in the control room were checked for conformance to the anthropometric requirements of the 5th percentile female through the 95th percentile male and included assensment of the furnishings for safety, operability, maintainability, and aesthetic requirements. Selected physical dimensions of the following furnishings were measured and recorded:
e Desks / tables e Chairs e Bookshelves / filing cabinets e Storage cabinets e Floor coverings e Trash baskets e Ashtrays e Carts e Bulletin boards e Ladders.
4.7.4 Control Room Illumination Survey The illumination survey was conducted to measure the adequacy of CR lighting under normal and emergency lighting conditions. Illumination levels for normal and cmergency lighting for both units were measured at critical panels under simulated
) emergency lighting conditions. Ambient lighting for normal conditions was measured at all control panels. For benchboard panels, each segment of the panel was measured cxcept the top portion, or annunciator section. For vertical panels, one reading was taken on the panel surface approximately 5'3" from the floor. A total of 97 independent readings were taken under normal lighting conditions.
26
Light- measurements were recorded in foot-candles (fC) on an ambient lighting survey form. The collected data were compared to the criteria contained in NUREG-0700, pages 6.1-46 to 6.1-49.
4.7.5 Noise in Control Room Communications 4.7.5.1 Introduction - A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of noise on communications and auditory monitoring in the control room. During emergency operations, clearly audible communications and alarms are of increased importance.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to assess noise levels and communications in terms of potential critic; ' situations. Two categories of auditory tasks were evaluated in the control room: voice communications and auditory monitoring of signals. Voice communi-cations included interoperator conversation within the control room, telephone communi-cations on any number of lines, and P.A. Intercom messages. Alarms and signals constituted the other stimuli for auditory monitoring. These included audible annuncia-tors for each of the two units, fire and emergency alarms which may accompany annunciators, telephone bells for several telephones, an hourly buzzer, and the plant cmergency alarm generated over the P.A. system.
4.7.5.2 Procedures - A sound level meter and analyzer were used to measure CR noise levels. Measurements were taken for flat, A, and C weighted dB levels. Meter readings were made in either the slow response setting or the peak / maximum setting, whichever was appropriate for the sounds being measured. Measurements were made during both day shif t and second shif t operations.
The apparatus was set up on a tripod, with the microphone at average ear level.
Nine operator work stations were chosen for survey sites. Direction of the microphone was determined by the acoustical characteristics of the test site. The omnidirectional positioning, with the microphone straight up (vertical), was adequate for all measurements due to the microphone's response characteristics. Measurements were made towards panels, where possible, to test for any influence of reflective surfaces on the sound pressure level.
9 4.7.6 Operator-Computer Interface The interface between operator and computer was evaluated for the CCNPP control room. Various elements of the control room computer system were evaluated, such as 1
k:yboards, printers, CRTs, displays, computer function switch terminals, and system operational characteristics. Major emphasis was placed on reviewing the following:
27
e Physical design of CRTs, keyboards, and switch terminals e Message or information organization displayed by printers and CRTs e Location of the CRTs for visibility and readability.
4.7.7 Operator Protective Equipment The evaluation of the protective equipment involved two separate analyses: a video taped walk-through of a control room contamination drill, and a questionnaire survey for operator protective equipment. For the first analysis, a walk-through was conducted at the Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 plant-specific simulator. This facility is operated by Combustion Engineering in Windsor, Connecticut. Observations were made of two operators donning protective equipment in response to a CR contamination alarm and their subsequent actions during a simulated walk-through of an EOP. The procedure was recorded on video tape for later review and analysis. For the second analysis, a questionnaire was distributed to 35 control room operators to gather information relating to the availability and usability of the protective equipment. The responses were sum-marized, and the results from both analyses were compared to the criteria in NUREG-0700, pages 6.1-40 to 6.1-42.
4.8 Special Studies 4.8.1 Inadvertent Operation of Identical Switches Four sets of identical switches (two sets on each unit) had previously been identified as having resulted in a reportable event due to inadvertent operation. Various redesign options for these controls - the containment sump discharge valve and the refueling water tank discharge valve - were developed, and their comparative human factors cngineering benefits and/or drawbacks were rated.
4.E.2 Readability of Miniature Annunciators A special study concerning the readability of miniature annunciator windows was conducted. An initial, analytical study using existing readability data and criteria was
? conducted with a follow-up, empirical study. Viewing distances at 90 degrees (perpen-t dicular) and at 30 degrees (off perpendicular) to the windows were determined and recommendations made.
28
4.8.3 Association of Summary Annunciators to Miniature Annunciators Miniature annunciator readability (from the previous study) was reviewed for the purpose of possibly augmenting summary information contained in the standard annunci-ator panels. A study was conducted to determine the most feasible method of associating summary annunciators with the appropriate group of miniature windows. A method of visually relating summary annunciators in the matrix-style annunciator panel was developed.
4.8.4 Development of Demarcation and Labeling Enhancements for Panel ICl3 Full-scale photographic mockups of the part of the service water system and the miscellaneous station services on panel ICl3 were used to develop optimum demarcation, labeling, and mimic applications for this panel. Component color coding, system demarcation, and system mimics were developed. Summary labels, standardized label language, and meter range coding were also evaluated. A final configuration was produced on a mockup using the developed enhancements.
4.8.5 Control Room Labeling A standard dictionary of abbreviations and acronyms was developed for the CCNPP.
A survey identified all abbreviations and acronyms used in annunciator legends, panel labels, procedures, and cor. ) uter printouts. Preliminary abbreviation and acronym lists were reviewed, ambiguities and conflicts eliminated, and a final version of the dictionary was developed for use in standardizing subsequent label development.
4.8.6 Mirror Image Evaluation The effect of mirror-imaging was evaluated primarily by reviewing existing litera-ture for the known effects of mirror-imaging on operator performance. Analysts then developed a definitive set of criteria establishing the effect on transfer of training for different relationships of simple stimulus-response characteristics. As an example, where a control / display relationship was established such that only the controls were mirror-imaged, this was classed as a response-opposite and stimulus-identical type of layout. All
> categories of stimuli and their related responses we're classified either as identical, similar, neutral, or opposite. A matrix was constructed, each of whose cells indicated the expected effect upon training transfer. The various mirror-imaging aspects of the CCNPP units were then reviewed for negative probable effects; recommendations were made for possible corrective actions.
29
4.8.7 HF Review of a Proposed Auxiliary Feedwater System Panel (Panels ICO3 and IC04)
Panel layout criteria from NUREG/CR-1580 and other human engineering references were used to review the proposed auxiliary feedwater system panel layout.
Recommendations were made concerning coding of mimic lines, incorporation of LED indicators and possible rearrangement of components.
4.8.8 HF Review of a Proposed Shutdown Panel Panel layout criteria described above were used to evaluate the proposed shutdown panel design. All panel features such as component arrangement, labeling, demarcations, and mimics were reviewed in terms of existing conventions used on the main control board and as specified in the criteria.

5.0 ASSESSMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION Once an HED was identified, it was reviewed and its disposition determined. This phase of the DCRDR included the assessment of potential for error inducement, determination of the consequences of such errors for the system, and documentation of the means by which HEDs would be disposed (redesign, additional job performance aids, ctc.). The assessment phase, in essence, enabled the scheduling of backfits as a function of the potential consequences of the HED. The disposition identified the means by which an HED would be corrected or improved. Assessment was initially dissociated from disposition in terms of selection of backfits; however, HED disposition affected scheduling of backfits due to availability of materials, extent of engineering redesign, and so forth.
Also, candidate backfits underwent subsequent reassessment to ensure that HEDs were adequately addressed.
5.1 Assessment The basic assessment process was divided into three steps as follows:
e Assess extent of deviation from 1580 guidelines e Assess discrepancy impact on operations e Assess potential consequences of error occurrence.
3.1.1 Assess Extent of Deviation from 1580 Guidelines This step required that subjective assessment of the extent of a discrepancy's deviation from 1580 guidelines. For example, symbol / background contrast might be 40 percent, rather than 50 percent, or, a display might suffer slight parallax. Judgments were made based on the content of the guideline being applied and the CR component under assessment. For each judgment, the extent of deviation was not directly used to assess priority or determine the scheduling of backfits. Rather, the extent of delvation was used in assessing the potential for operational error. It was possible to have little deviation from the guidelines and high error assessments, or vice versa.
5.1.2 Assess Discrepancy Impact on Operations Estimates were made as to the probable increase of error probability associated with the discrepancy. This was accomplished through reviews and discussions with 31
sperations and human factors specialists.- Estimates were reached by consideration of the following:
e Body physiology
- fatigue / physical stress
- discomfort
- injury
- anthropometry e Sensory / perceptual performance
- vision
- audition
- propioception
- touch e Information processing
- overload
- confusion
- recall
- pattern matching / recognition
- data manipulation (comparing, extrapolating, etc.)
e Learning
- inhibition
- habituation
- response predominance
- transfer
- response competition
- -response latency e Task Demands
- frequency
- duration
- competition
- sequence
- speed
- communication
- precision information.-
Assessment of error occurrence was estimated for the following:
e Overall operator performance is/is not degraded by HED impact on body physiology.
o HED does/does not degrade sensory performance.
- e Information processing capability is/is not exceeded via the HED.
e The HED does/does not induce direct error due to principles of learning._
e - Task difficulty and reliability is/is not affected by the HED.
32
l 5.1.3 Assess Potential Consequences of Error Occurrence Review team technical staff and operations representatives evaluated system consequences of hypothesized operational errors. Four determinations are required:
- 1. Does the HED relate to plant safety functions?
- 2. Does the HED relate to plant functions required to mitigate the consequences of an accident?
- 3. Could an error lead to unsafe operations or plant conditions?
- 4. Could an error lead to violations of technical specifications?
Once classified ,as to its relative importance, each HED was evaluated for correction by enhancement, by design change, or by other means such as training.
5.2 Implementation Changes to the design of licensed nuclear power plants are permitted under 10CFR 50.59 without prior approval provided the changes do not require a change in Technical Specifications and do not constitute or create an unreviewed safety question.
Maintenance Requests (MRs) are initiated at Calvert Cliffs; control of these MRs is administered through the procedures contained in the Calvert Cliffs Instructions (CCIs).
Human Engineering Discrepancy (HED) modifications which do not constitute formal design changes, such as enhancement additions or label changes are controlled by initiation of an MR. The operations (SRO) member of the HED review committee is responsible for initiating MRs to resolve outstanding issues in this area. Field Change Requests (FCRs) are initiated at Calvert Cliffs to control design changes or additions.
The design process itself is controlled by the Responsible Design Organization, Electric Engineering Department. The Electric Engineering Department members of the HED review committee are responsible for assuring that FCRs to resolve outstanding issues are implemented in accordance with approved recommendations.
Figure 7 is a flow chart of the review, assessment, and implementation process for HEDs. Procedures for both departments are required and audited by the BG&E overall Quality Assurance Program for compliance with 10CFR 50 Appendix B.
5.3 Verification and Validation With the aid of HFE specialists, verification of the adequacy of backfit recom-mendations was performed during committee review and the most desirable backfit alternatives were identified. This, however, constituted a preimplementation verification 33

and as such is recognized as sufficient only for closeout of this initial control room review effort. It was expected that the implementation phase would extend beyond the study effort due to the inherent delays associated with refueling outages. Therefore, post-
-implementation verification will be conducted to assure that the changes meet the intent of the discrepancy correction recommendations. Where applicable and appropriate, validation steps also will be conducted. These activities are necessary for a compre-hensive human factors program and will be included within the scope of the administratively-controlled design process of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company.
5.4 Negative Transfer of Training To reduce initial negative effects of HED-generated design changes and normally identified design changes upon operators, appropriate instruction will be provided within the training program for all affected operations personnel.

EXPERIENCE:
I l July 1980- ESSEX CORPORATION Prcsent Alexandria, Virginia Research Associate, Energy Program - Composing specification documents to be used as guides in equipment design and layout for control rooms in nuclear power plants. Information from several sources is coordinated to develop specifications on status / monitor light boards and air temperature / humidity and ventilation. Design aspects such as operation, organization of displays, physical design features and constraints are discussed.
Performed a review / critique of emergency procedures for Baltimore Gas and Electric and Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant Systems. Procedure formats were reviewed along human engineering criteria. Several procedures were rewritten in a format specially designed to meet these criteria by .way of example. Discrepancies identified in original formats or proce-dures were addressed individually.
Conducted task analyses focusing on the requirements for effec-tive nuclear power plant emergency operating procedure perfor-mance under contract to Baltimore Gas & Electric Company and Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant Systems. The analyses addressed factors such as: discrete activities of control room operators during plant operation, behaviors involved in the performance of activities, estimated time requirements for each activity, frequency of behaviors, information and/or communi-l cation requirements, specific controls and displays utilized, and concurrent or shared tasks. Primary emphasis was on the identification of potential error and error impact, as a result of individual component characteristics or component configuration interfacing with human psychological or physiological I constraints.
Participated in an effort to identify labeling inconsistencies and component discrepancies on control room panels in a nuclear
9 power plant owned by Mississippi Power and Light Company.
Labeling modes were developed which would fulfill technical requirements and meet human factors criteria for control room design.

.or behaviors resulting in the , achievement of duties; Require-ments, stated in terms of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, rate, etc.; and Standards, stated in terms of specific qualitative and quantitative values. This model facilitated the identifi-cation of training objectives as well as desired performance versus actual performance and possible causes of dicrepancy.
Graduate Assistant, Office of Institutional Research -
Conducted special projects involving f aculty and student data.
Accomplishments included a feasibility study on flex-time work schedules to be applied to university administrative staff.
Developed a statistical prediction model from a data base of ten variables which was employed in a salary equity study. Variables .
were analyzed in order to identify those contributing most to the determination.of salary for all levels of faculty and across all university dep.artments. Under specific scrutiny were the variables of sex and race which were found, to account for minute proportions of variance when all other variables were simultaneously considered. -
Conducted a student attriticn study which compared primary.
causes of attrition for two groups of former students. .A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of students who last attended classes in 1976 or 1979; their responses were correlated
! to determine significant differences.
Intern, Southcentral Michigan Commission on Aging - Conducted training needs assessment for government human _ services' #,
agency. Subcontractors to the agency were surveyed to identify areas of most critical training needs. The results, along with '
