1.0 INTRODUCTION

Duquesne Light Company (DLC) is the applicant and agent for itself and The Cleveland Electric Illuninating Conpany, Ohio Edison Conpany, and The toledo Edison Conpany for the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station, W i: 2 (BVPS-2) (NRC Docket No. 50-412). BVPS-2 will enploy a Westinghouse tnree-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) with a net electrical output of 836 MWe. BVPS-1, located on the sane site, was licensed in January 1976 and also utilizes a Westinghouse three-loop PWR with a net electrical output of 810 MWE.

The Control Building for BVPS is located between Unit 1 and Unit 2 at elevation 735'6". Within the Control Building are the control roans for each unit. The control roans are presently separated by a tenporary steel rein-forced wall. The wall is installed so that Unit 2 construction activities will not hanper Unit 1 operations and to inaintain security in the Unit 1 control roan. The wall will be renoved prior to Unit 2 beconing operational.

Until the wall is' renoved, DLC will not be able to couplete sone of the surveys involving caninon control roon attributes required by NUREG-0700 (see Section 3.1).

The Control Roan Design Review (CRDR) is part of an extensive effort within the nuclear industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Conmission (NRC) to evaluate nuclear power plant control roons, and the operability of energency operating procedures (E0Ps) within the control roon. The goals of the CRDR effort were to identify Hunan Engineering Discrepancies (HEDs) within the context of the existing control roon, energency shutdown panel, and alternate shutdown panel; evaluate the HEDs for their possible impact on the safe oper-ation of the plant; assess whether or not the impact is significant; and provide for adequate disposition of all identified HEDs. In achieving these goals, care was taken to avoid negating the safety characteristics of the existing control roon design. Also practical considerations required that any action taken to upgrade the control roon use accepted hunan factors principles.

1.1 Overview This report describes the methodology, findings, assessment, and implenentation of the BVPS-2 CRDR. The review was conducted to ensure that the control roon and the energency and alternate shut-down panels would support operation during energency conditions and to meet the requirenents of Iten 1.D.1 (Control Roan Design Review) of Supplenent 1 to NUREG-0737 published by Generic Letter 82-33.

Note that the format of this report is not consi presented in Figure 6-1 of the BVPS-2 Progran The . Plan} tent with that present fonnat better organizes and presents the material contained herein.

The CRDR effort will be addressed in Chapter 18.0, "Hunan Factors Engineering," of the FSAR.

The review was conducted in accordance with the BVPS-2 Progran Pl an. The plan organized the review into four phases: Planning, Review, Assessment and Implenentation, and Docunentation.

Planning for the review, based on the Progran Plan, was crystal-lized with the generation of a BVPS-2 CRDR Charter (Appendix A) and a set of detailed instructions for each task ( Appendix B).

Relying heavily upon the expertise of Hunan Factors Specialists (HFS), as well as operating personnel , and instrunentation and control systens engineers, the review phase was acconplished for

.the following tasks in accordance with the established instructions.

  • Task 1 - Operating Experience Review
  • Task 2 - Control Roan Inventory
  • Task 3 - Control Roan Survey
  • Task 4 - Systen Review and Task Analysis
  • Task 5 - Verification of Control Roan Functions
  • Task 6 - Validation of Control Roon Functions The products of each task (wnere applicable) were HEDs, which iden-tify discrepancies and, in sane cases, provide preliminary resolu-tions for the discrepancies based upon NUREG-0700 guidelines.

In the assessnent and implenentation phase, each HED was reviewed in detail by the Core Tean and Support Tean, at which time final resolutions were agreed upon. The HEDs, with their resolution, were given to the DLC Managenent Tean for disposition. Upon agree-ment of DLC managenent, a plan for the implenentation of the HED resolutions was generated. The above review phases are further docunented within this report.

Section 6.0, "Implenentation and Scheduling of Corrective Actions" discusses the time frane for resolving the HEDs identified in this report. Also. discussed in Section 6.0 is the intended approach for evaluating those control roon characteristics whicn were unable to be assessed during the course of tne BVPS-2 CRDR.

'1.2 M,anagement and Staffing This section will identify the CRDR progran teans and their associ-ated areas of responsibility. An overview of the CRDR organization is shown in Figure 1-1. The Regulatory Affairs Department (RAD) of the Nuclear Construction Division (NCD) has primary responsibility for the CRDR. The NCD is a division within the Nuclear Group. The Vice President of the Nuclear Group has responsibility for all nuclear related activities (BVPS-1 and -2) at DLC.

1.2.1 Management Organization

- The management function for the CRDR was under DLC NCD Pro-cedure 1.2, " Organization and Responsibilities," and NCD Procedure 2.10, " Engineering Change Control."

The function of managenent is to:

  • approve the Program Plan
  • provide the resources necessary for implenentation of the CRDR
  • review and approve control roon reconmendations for cor-rection of HEDs
  • provide the mechanisa for the preparation and submittal of docunents to the NRC 1.2.2 Project Tean The Project Tean provided the overall coordination of the CRDR program. The function of this tean was to:
  • ensure that the CRDR progran was perfonned in accordance with the DLC Quality Assurance Progran
  • provide overall support to the CRDR process
  • nonitor i the CRDR process
  • ensure that the CRDR objectives and tasks, in relation to other NUREG 0737 efforts, are properly coordinated
  • establish and initiate a control roam improvenent prograin 1.2.3 Core Tean The day-to-day review activities were the responsiblity of the Core Tean. The Core Tean was responsible for the plan-ning, schedul ing , coordinating, and integration of CRDR activities.

1.2.4 Core _ Tea _n Structure The Core Tean is a multidisciplined tean of individuals with the wide range of skills necessary to perfonn the design review. The Core Tean includes the following personnel:

1.2.4.4 Instrumentation and Control _(I&C) Engineer The I&C Engineer in conjunction with the Balance-of-Pl ant (80P) Systens Engineer assisted in the identification of plant systen design features and served as the Core Tean expert on the capabilities and limitations of controls and instrunents. The I&C specialist and 80P Systens Engineer also pro-vided input to the tean during the assessnent phase of the review. This individual is the Westinghouse Progran Coordinator.

1.2.4.5 Technical Coordinator Tne Technical Coordinator acted as the primary contact and liaison between the Project, Core, and Support Teans. He al so provided* the interface between the CRDR organization and the NRC. The 1-5

Technical Coordinator was delegated the authority of the Review Tean Leader in cases where the Review Tean Leader was unavailable.

1.3 Program Plan The initial step of the CROR was the preparation of a Progran Plan

- based upon the requirenents of Supplenent I to NUREG-0737 and the guidance contained in NUREG-0700 and NUREG-0801. As described above, the_ Progran Plan addressed the design review activities in four phases:

  • Phase I - Planning
  • Phase II - Review
  • Phase III - Assessnent and Implenentation
  • Phase IV - Docunentation BVPS-2 is currently under construction and the Progran Plan was made flexible so that the CRDR tasks would be perfonned within the franework of the overall schedule for the CRDR, Safety Paraneter Display Systen (SPOS) installation, the Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev.

  • Audits
  • Revisions to Charter
  • Docunent Control .
  • Instructions Based _on the NRC review, the staff requested an in-progress audit of the BVPS-2 CRDR progran. The on-site, in-progress audit was conducted by the staff on July 26 and 27,1984. The NRC issued the I results of that meeting on Septenber 10, 1984 2, and stated that,  !

with the exception of conment No.11, all responses were satisfac- ,

tory to the staff. In a subsequent meeting with the staff on l Novenber 20, 1984, further details were presented for the SRTA progran which satisf actorily resolved comment No.11.

The plan was carried out by DLC with the support of Essex Corpora-tion and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Westinghouse provided tne overall technical coordination of the CRDR, administered the hunan factors contribution of Essex, and provided NSSS instronenta-tion and control expertise. DLC provided overall CRDR managenent, operations expertise, and balance of plant instrunentation and control expertise. To maintain consistency between the organiza-tions involved, a set of detailed instructions were developed for b each CRDR task. The instructions made all tean menbers cognizant of task responsibilities and objectives. The instructions are discussed in Section 1.4 and are contained in Appendix B.

1.3.1 QA Audits I All CRDR work was perfonned under a Quality Assur ance Progran. The CRDR work was audited twice by the DLC. Quality Assurance Department. Audits were conducted October 2-8, 1984, and - August 29-30, 1985. These audits were conducted to ensure that the CRDR work was perfonned in accordance with the Charter and Instructions contained in Appendices A

Review is to review available documentation of operating difficul-ties and incidents as outlined in plant specific LERs to identify conditions that may cause hunan performance problens. Since BVPS-2 is under construction, LERs fran North Anna Unit I and Surry Unit I were reviewed for applicability to BVPS-2. In addition, HEDs gen-erated fran the BVPS-l CRDR docunent review were reviewed for applicability to BVPS-2.

IB) Control Room Operatin,g,, Personnel S,urvey: Since BVPS-2 is under construction and there are no Unit 2 trained operators available, BVPS-1 CRDR Operator Survey (using 8V-1 operators) HEDs were reviewed for applicability to BVPS-2.

2) Control Room Inventory: An inventory of all instrumentation, controls, and otner devices on the- main control board, building services control panel, energency shutdown panel (ESP), and alter-nate shutdown panel (ASP) was recorded. Approved design docunenta-tion as of August 17, 1984, was used as a basis for the inventory and the inventory was conpared with the 1/2 scale and full scale main control board photomosaics that were constructed for the CRDR.
3) Hunan Factors Control Room Survey: Much of the detailed assess-ment of'T.he control roon was conducted through checklist surveys.

Surveys entailed the collection of data using preconstructed check-lists and taking direct measurenents. Since BVPS-2 is under con-struction and not all design features were available for review, only the following surveys were conducted.

1-9 l

1

Anthropometrici: analysis of reach and visual access to control room components.

Annunciat_or Systens: checklist evaluation of annunciator systens; direct measurenent of annuncintor fonts, signal intensities, etc.

Controls: checklist evaluation of controls 0,i_spl ays : checklist evaluation of displays L,abels_ _and Location Aids: checklist evaluation of labels and location aids C,o_mp_ uter Systems: checklist evaluation of computer systens C_onvention: checklist evaluation of conyentions 41 System Review and Ta_sk,, Analysis: The SRTA progran systenatically evaluated the needs of the control roon operations crew in response to energency"tranisients. The SRTA process and documentation was

' based on the methodology developed by the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) and the NRC clarification conments on task analysis provided at the March 29, 1984, meeting (see Appendix E). The SRTA docunen-tation was structured' to provide the infonnation required by the control roon CRDR tean to perfonn the Verification of Operator Task Performance Capability review phase of the CRDR.

5) Verification of Task Performance Capabilities: The verification of task capabilities was acconplished is two steps: verification of availaoility and verification of suitability. Verification of availability was conducted using results of the SRTA, the control roon inventory, and the BVPS-2 main control board mockup. Operator device requirenents for control, indication, and instrunentation, as identified by the SRTA, were conpared with the inventory and the main control board mockup to establish availability of the devices.

The devices so identified were then evaluated for suitability to the NUREG-0700 Section guidelines using the sane data sources and methodology as used for verification of availability.

6) Validation of Control Room Functi_ons: At the BVPS-2 main con-trol mockup, operators perfonned walk-throughs of the following procedures using validation scenarios developed fran the SRTA and comprised of the following BVPS-2 E0Ps:
  • Start-up fron cold shutdown to power operation (5%).
  • Load follow from 100% power to 50% power.
  • SI tennination.

(' i

  • Loss of reactor or secondary coolant.
  • Post-LOCA cooldown and depressurization.

~* Transfer to cold leg. recirculation.

  • Transfer to hot let recirculation.
  • Faulted stean generator isolation.
  • Stean generator tube rupture.
  • Post-SGTR cooldown using stean dunp.
  • Critical safety function status trees.

~

  • Response to. nuclear power generation.

  • Response to inadequate core cooling.
  • Response to loss of secondary heat' sink.
  • Response to imminent pressurized thennal shock conditions.
  • Response to high containment pressure.

During the walk-throughs, the operators identified difficulties and the CRDR _tean noted any deviations fran applicable NUREG-0700 Sec-tion 6 guidelines and any concerns or. questions. The entire set of walk-throughs was video taped. Using the video tapes, a debriefing was held between the operators and the CRDR tean to discuss prob-lens identified during the walk-throughs and to develop the infor-mation necessary to generate applicable HEDs.

1.5 Documentation and Docunent Control Throughout the CRDR progran, the design review activities and results were carefully docunented. Three categories of docunenta-tion were used to support the CRDR: reference docunentation, pro-cess docunentation, and control docunentation.

Reference Documentation: A library of reference documents was establiided to .sup' port the CRDR. It contains the following docu-ments.

  • Final Safety Analysis Report
  • Main Control Board front panel layout drawings
  • Main Control Room ano Computer Room arrangenent drawing
  • Main Control Board dimensions drawing
  • Main one-line drawings
  • Equipnent one-line drawings

>

  • One-line power distribution drawings
  • Flow diagrans
  • AS? layout drawing
  • Naneplate engraving lists
  • ESP front view drawing
  • Building Service Control Panel front view drawing
  • Switch contact development drawings
  • Logic diagrans Process Docunentation: Data collection and reduction methods were docunented for reporting purposes in accordance with instructions listed in Section 1.4, " Review Instructions."

l-11

lA) LER Review: LERs fran nuclear power plants with similar plant designs were obtained for review. Following screening by the CRDR Core Tean, the Operations Start-up Group and the HFS re-reviewed LERs eliminated by the initial screening and docunented any discrepancies found.

LER Report Summaries were conpleted by the Core Tean menbers for LERs renaining after the above screenings. Preliminary HEDs were issued for events relevant to BVPS-2.

18) Control Room Operating Personnel Survey: Since the BVPS-2 control roon was under construction and there were no BVPS-2. trained operators available, the survey was limited to a review of the BVPS-1 HEDs generated fran their operator surveys. These Unit 1 HEDs applicable to BVPS-2 were then docunented as BVPS-2 HEDs.
2) Control Roan Inventory: Inventory infonnation was recordea on individual Inventory Data Sheets for all instru-mentation, controls, and other devices on the main control board, the building services control panel, the ESP, and the ASP.
3) Hunan Factors Contr_ol Room Survey: Observation data was collected and rE. Corded using the checklists fran the anthro-pometrics, annunciator systens, controls, displays, labels and location aids, conputer systens, and conventions task pl ans. Problens identified were. recorded as preliminary HEDs.
4) Systens Review and Task Analysis: The requirenents used to evaluate the control roon capability were identified by the development of Elenent Tables. The primary document developed to organize the data base of Elenent Tables are the Systen Sequence Matrices. Instrunentation Requirenents Tables. were developed to identify and review requirenents for individual instrunents. Control Requirenents Tables were developed to identify and review requirenents for indi-vidual controls.
5) Verificatio_n of Task Perfonnance Capabilities: Every control and instrunentation device identified in the SRTA Elenent Tables is listed on a Verification of Availability checklist and on a Verification of Suitability checklist (see Figures 4-6 and 4-7). These checklists were used to record the avail aoility and suitabil ity (per NUR EG-0700

-guidelines) of these devices as required to implenent each operator task. Any descrepancies between the required devices and actual control roon devices were recorded on preliminary HEDs.

1-12

6) Validation of Control Roon Functions: The primary docu-mentati'on used for validation was the BVPS-2 Walk-Through Validation scenario forns. As a minimun, these scenarios cover all ~ of the event sequences suggested by NUREG-0700.

All validation walk-throughs were video taped using two caneras: one wide-angle canera showing entire main control board area activity and another canera, wi th zoon lens, following each walk-through action. The debriefings held following each walk-through were also video taped. As wi th the other CRDR tasks, any descrepancies found were recorded as preliminary HEDs.

. Control Documentation: The primary docunentation for control of identified HED, their assessnent, and their resolution was the HED fona. _ As each discrepancy was identified by a Core Tean or Support Tean member, it was recorded on a HED fonn as a Preliminary HED (PHED). PHEDs were reviewed for conpleteness and accuracy and signed by the Westinghouse Progran Coordinator and the Essex Human Factors Manager to denote acceptance of PHED as a HED. PHEDs due to misinterpreted NUREG-0700 guidelines were discarded. As the HEDs were assessed by the Core Tean, each was assigned a priority via a HED Priority Record fonn and each reconmended resolution was assessed using a Reassessment of Probable Error and Deviation fann to detennine whether the correction satisfactorily resolved the existing discrepancy and whether it would introduce new discrepancies.

All of the above documentation was filed in the CRDR file main-tained by the Westinghouse Progran Coordinator and transferred to DLC following conpletion of this report.

1.6 Assessment and Disposition of HEDs Sectiun 5.0 of this report details the assessnent and disposition of HEDs generated during the BVPS-2 CRDR. The assessment method-ology is contained in Instruction R-407.

2.0 OPERATING EXPERIENCE REVIEW A review of operating experiences is required to ensure that problens previously encountered during pl ant operations and pl ant start-up are addressed. This phase of the BVPS-2 CRDR consists of two tasks: exanination of historical records (2.1) and a survey of control roon operating personnel (2.2).

2.1 Exanination of Available Historical Records The methodology utilized for this task is contained in DLC NCD Instruction R-401A. DLC NC0 Instruction R-401 A addresses the specifics of all itens contained in the DLC Program Plan.

2.1.1 _B,V,P,S-1 Document Review All of the incident reports (irs) that had been generated at BVPS-1 were reviewed by the BVPS-1 CRDR tean. Of the irs reviewed, 390 were retained and submitted to the BVPS-1 Human Factors Consultant to undergo hunan factors review.

Of the 390 1Rs that were reviewed by the BVPS-1 Human Fac-tors Consultant, 133 were retained for further evaluation and disposition by the BVPS-1 CRDR tean. Of the 133 irs that were evaluated and dispositioned by the BVPS-1 CRDR tean, 8 HEDs were identified, none of diich were found to be applicable to Unit 2.

2.1.2 _B,VPS-2_LER Review The LERs reviewed were fron nuclear power plants with simi-1ar designs as that of BVPS-2. These plants were North Anna Unit I and Surry Unit 1. The LER Review was conducted in accordance with NCD Instruction R-401 A.

A total of 651 LERs were reviewed by the CRDR tean. Of the 651 LERs, 212 were initially screened out by the CRDR tean.

The 212 initially screened LERs were tnen forwarded to DLC operations and the BVPS-2 HFS for review to ensure that the screened LERs did not contain hunan error. Of the 212 screened LERs,12 were returned (11 fran operations, I fran the HFS) for further CRDR Core Tean review.

The 12 LERs needing further review plus the renaining 439 previously unscreened LERs were then split up anong the CRDR Core Tean. Each Core Tean menber filled out an "LER Report Sum. nary" for each of their assigned LERs. The "LER Report Suinmaries" were separated into one of the following three categories:

2-1

  • Corrective action taken terainated the consequences of the event.
  • Corrective action ta' Ken was adequate but in the judgment of the reviewer, sufficient action was not taken to pre-vent the recurrence of the problen.
  • Corrective action taken was not sufficient in the judgment of the reviewer.

All LERs pertaining to the first category (a total of 314) were forwarded to the HFS to review for possible indications of hunan error. LERs pertaining to the second and third categories (a total of 137) were held for Core Tean review.

Of the 314 LERs forwarded to the HFS, 29 were returned for further review by the CRDR Core Tean.

Core Tean LER review neetings were held to discuss the 156 LERs. Of the 166 LERs that were assessed and dispositioned by the Core Tean,12 HEDs were identified (see Table 2.1.2, "Stanary of HEDs from Similar P1 ant LERs").

2.2 Cont,r,o,lloom Operating Personnel __ Survey Although not a statutory requirenent, a Control Roon Operating Personnel Survey (CROPS) was included in the scope of the BVPS-2 CRDR and was to be conducted in accordance with NCD Instruction R-4018. However, during the course of the .CRDR, there were no oper-ators who had received training on the Unit 2 control boards. The only source of operators for CROPS was Unit 1. Since the Unit _1 CRDR had already conducted operator interviews and questionnaires, the Review Tean reviewed HEDs resulting fron the Unit 1 survey for applicability to Unit 2. This approach was acceptable based on the degree of sienilarity of the control boards and to' avoid a duplica-tion of effort. The methodology for the Unit 1 survey is contained in Appendix C, Three of the HEDs generated during the Unit 1 operator survey (BVPS-1 HEDs 52,116,157) were found applicable to Unit 2. See Table 7.1 for a description of these HEDs.

I 3.0 CONTROL ROOM SURVEY The methodology used to conduct the control roon surveys at BVPS-2 incorporated a mix of tradi tional procedures and methods tailored to the specific requirenents of the plant per OLC NCD Instruction R-403. The three basic methods enployed within each survey were measurenents, observations, and docunentation revi'ews. Within the sunmary tables, these methods are designated by M, 0, and 0, respectively. Nonnally, operator interviews are also included in the data collection methodology. However, BVPS-2 as an NTOL under construction did not yet have operators trained on the Unit 2 control boards; therefore, interviews were not conducted. Within each of the methods used, specific procedures were followed to ensure a conprehensive data col-lection, data reduction, and analysis process. The procedures were organized into a set of standardized task plans.

The survey process was structured into a nunber of separate tasks, each t,ask involving a specific set of related control roon design features. For exanple, the anthroponetrics survey involved consideration of reach and view-ing factors for each of the various types of consoles in the control roon.

This approach, coupled wi th the standardization of task plan structure, allowed for maxiinun flexibility during data collection, data reduction, and analysis, and resul ted in a standard, well-organized, self-documenting pro-cess.

It was not possible to survey all of the control roon design features since many were not conplete at the time of this CRDR. For this reason, only the sections evaluated will be discussed in the report. Entire sections unable to be surveyed were:

1) Workspace
2) Emergency Equip 1ent
3) HVAC
4) Illunination
5) Anbient Noise
6) Maintainability
7) Connunications All task plans followed the general fonnat of:
1) Introduction (including the objectives)
2) Review Tean Selection and Responsibilities 3 Criteria (from NUREG-0700, Section 6.0) 4 Procedures 5 Equipnent and Facility Requirenents 6 Inputs and Data Fonns 7 Outputs and Results 8 Figures and Tables 9 Procedure Exceptions
10) Appendices (asrequired).

3-1

In addition to this general fonnat, the control roon survey task plans incorporated _ a standardized set of appendices that ensured a consistent well-docanented process for data collection, analyses, assessnent, inplenentation, and audits (the appendices discussed here are for the task plans; they are not appendices to this' report) . The appendix structure enployed for the task plans was:

3.3.4 Method 3.3.4.1 D a_t,a_,C,o,l l_ec t i on

a. Data were collected using the checklists contained in the annunciator task plan,
b. Data were collected pr i.aarily through measurenent and direct oburvation of tne annunciator systen in the control roon. As necessary, systen docunenta-tion (e.g., P& ids, electrical drawings, annunciator design docunents) were reviewed to aug:nent and corroborate observations and interviews.

3.3.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow-ing procedure:

a. All deviations fron the criteria were recorded on HED reports. Recorded infonnation included the con-ponents or systen involved a description of the problen including the NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber of the criteria, and a reconinended solution.
b. The data collection description was also recorded on the HED fonn. Where data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions with cognizant DLC personnel.
c. Upon conpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the annunciator task plan were annotated to indicate conpliance or nonconpliance with the criteria.

3.3.5 Findings The findings of the annunciator survey are presented in Table 3.3

" Annunciator Survey Findings and HEDs Generated." Overall, 98 criteria were applied to the annunciator systen in the BVPS-2 control roon. Since some features of the control roon were not conplete at the time of the survey,12 (12%) of the criteria were unable to be assessed (UTA). These criteria include: 6.3.1.2a-(1), (2), b(1), (2), c(2) and d(1), (2); 6.3.1.3a(3); 6.3.3.2c; 6.3.4.1d(2); 6.3.4.3a and b. Of the criteria assessed, 14 (14%)

were not applicable, 50 (51%) were not violated, and 22 (22%)

were violated. A total of 19 HEDs were generated sich docunent all of the 22 criteria which were not met. In general, those HEDs address auditory signals, annunciator controls, distinctive coding of annunciator tiles, nuisance alanns, alann messages, multi-input alanns annunciator response procedures, and annunci-ator tile grouping and prioritization.

b. NUMBER OF COLORS -

The number of colors used for O YES (1) coding should be kept to the mini-mum needed for providing suf-ficient information.

1he number of colors used for O YES (2) coding should not exceed 11.

c. MEANING OF COLORS -

(1) The meaning attached to a parti- O YES cular color should be narrowly defined.

Red, green, and amber (yellow) O YES (2) should be reserved for the fol-lowing uses:

Reds unsafe, danger, immediate operator action required, or an indication that a critical parameter is out of tolarance.

Green safe, no operator action required, or an indication that a parameter is within tolerance.

Amber (yellow): hazard (potentially unsafe), caution, attention required, or an indi-cation that a marginal value or parameter exists.

d. PRINCIPLES OF COLOR SELECTION (1) The primary principle which O YES should be applied in selecting colors for coding purposes which do not have the immediate safety implications'of red, green, and amber is to ensure that each color is recognized as different from any other. Exhibit 6.5-7 lists 22 colors of maximum contrast.

Each successive color has been selected so that it will contrast maximally with the color just preceding it and satisfactorily 3-30

The first 9 colors have been selected so as to yield satis-factory contrast for red-green-deficient as well as color-normal observers. Die remaining 13 colors are useful only for color-normal observers.

(2)' Colors selected for coding should O YES contrast well with the background

'on which they appear.

l (3) Ambient lighting in the area in O YES whit.h color coding is used will l influence the apparent color of the coded element (especially for surface colors). Each color selected for coding should be evaluated under allillumination conditions under which it is used.

3.4 ' Controls Survey This section docunents the results of the controls survey conducted in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2. This review was conducted in accordance with the requirenents of NUREG-0700, as specified in the BVPS-2 DCRDR Program Plan.

3.4.1 Objectives The objectives of the displays survey were to:

a. Assess the degree to dich all controls in the control roan, ESP, and ASP confonn to the criteria in NUREG-0700.
b. Identify and docunent any features of the controls that do not confonn to the criteria in NUREG-0700.

3.4.2 Scope The scope of the effort extends to the assessment of the control design in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2 using the appl icable guidelines as stated in NUR EG-0700. The control topics evaluated include:

o General principles of control design o Prevention of accidental activation o Direction of movenent o Coding of controls o Pushbutton design o Round pushbuttons o Legend pushbuttons o Rotary selector controls o J-Handle controls o Continuous adjustment rotary controls o Thunbwheels o Slide switches o Toggle switches o Separation of controls.

Several NUREG-0700 guidelines appropriate to controls are being considered as part of task analysis, and verification and valida-tion activities. These have, therefore, been incorporated into the verification and validation evaluation reports.

3.4.3 Criteria The criteria applied in this survey, identified by NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber, are: paragraphs 6.4.1.la(1) through c(2) and e(l) throu 6.4.1.2a through 6.4.2.la through h; through c(4), e, f(l) and g;f (3); 6.4.3.lb and c; 6.4.2.2c(1)gh-e(3);

6.4.3.2a through d; 6.4.3.3.b(1), through (5) and d(l) through e(5); 6.4.4.la; 6.4.4.2a and b; 6.4.4.3a through g(3); 6.4.4.4a 3-32

through e(5); 6.4.4.5a through f; 6.4.5.la through d(2)(e);

6.4.5.2a through b(2); 6.4.5.3a through c(6); 6.4.5.4a(1) through

-e(4); 6.5.1.6a through c(2) and e(1) through e(3); and 6.8.3.la through c. The detailed definitions for each criterion are pre-sented in Table 3-4.

3.4.4 Method 3.4.4.1 Data Collection

a. Data were collected using the checklists contained in the Controls Task Plan,
b. The majority of the data were collected through direct observation of controls in the control roon.

As necessary, measurenents were made of the physical characteristics (e.g., size, separation, displ ace-ment of the controls).

3.4.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow-ing procedure:

a. All deviations fron the criteria were recorded on HED reports. Recorded infonnation included the control or controls involved (e.g., rotary controls, pushbuttons,- J-Handle controls, etc.), a description of the problen including the NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber of the criteria, and a reconinended solution.
b. The data collection description was also recorded on the HED fonn. Where data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions with cognizant DLC personnel.
c. Upon conpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the controls task plan were annotated to indicate con-pliance or nonconpliance with the criteria.

3.4.5 Findings The . findings of the controls survey are presented in Table 3.4

" Controls Survey Findings and HEDs Generated." Overal l , 143 criteria were applied to the controls in the BVPS-2 control roon, ESP, and ASP. Since some features of the control roon were not conplete at the time of the survey, three (2%) of the criteria were unable to be assessed. These criteria include: 6.4.1.2d(2) and f; and 6.4.4.3e. Of the criteria assessed, 45 (31%) were not applicable, 76 (53%) were not violated, . and 19 (13%) were vio-l ated . A total of 21 HEDs were generated which document all of 3-33

Each successive color has been selected so that it will contrast maximally with the color just preceding it and satisfactorily with earlier colors in the list.

The first 9 colors have been selected so as to yield satis-factory contrast for red-green-deficient as well as color-normal observers. The remaining 13 colors are usefulonly for color-normal observers.

-3.5 Displays Survey This section docunents the results of the displays survey conducted in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2. This review was conducted in accordance with the requirenents of NUREG-0700, as specified in the BVPS-2 DCRDR Program P1an.

3.5.1 Objectives r.

The objectives of the displays survey were to:

a. Assess the degree to which, all displays in the control roan, l- ESP, and ASP conform to the criteria in NUREG-0700.
b. Identify and docunent any features of the displays that do not confonn to the criteria in NUREG-0700.

3.5.2 Scope The scope of the effort extends to the assessment of the display design in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2 using the applicable guidelines as stated in NUREG-0700. The display topics evaluated include:

o Display failure o Usability of displayed values o Readability o Printing on the display face o Scale markings o Coding o Display movenent o Scale pointers o Zone markings

o Light indicators (legend and simple) o Legend design o Trend recorders.

CRT displays are evaluated as part of the conputer survey. Sev-eral NUREG-0700 guidelines appropriate to displays are addressed as part of ' task analysis and task verification and validation activities. These guidelines have been incorporated into ' the verification and validation evaluation reports.

3.5.3 Criteria The criteria applied in this survey, identified by NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber, are: paragraphs 6.5.1.lf; 6.5.1.2d(1) through e; 6 5.1.3a through c(1) and d(1) through d(6); 6.5.1.4a(1) through f; 6.5.1.5a through c and e and f; 6.5.1.6a through c(2) and ell) through e(3); 6.5.2.la through c; 6.5.2.2a(1) through c; 6.5.2.3a through c; 6.5.2.4a through c(3); 6.5.2.5; 6.5.3.lb, l 3-53 I l

6.5.5.la(1) through c(2); and 6.5.5.2a(1) through c.

The detailed definitions for each criterion are presented in Table 3-5.

3.5.4 Method 3.5.4.1 Data Collection f a. Data were collected using the checklists fron the l Displays Task Plan.

D. Data were collected primarily through direct obser-vation of displays in the control roon. As neces-sary, measurenents were made of the physical charac-teristics (e.g., character size, height-to-width ratios, etc.) of control roon displ ays. Where guidelines refer to consistency with operating procedures (e.g., 6.5.1.4.e), preliminary E0Ps were reviewed.

c. Data were recorded on the appropriate fonns.

3.5.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow -

ing procedure:

a. All deviations from the criteria wre recorded on HED reports. Recorded infonaation included the instrument 'or instrunents involved (e.g., legend lights, meters, chart recorders, etc.), a descrip-tion of the problen including the NUREG-0700 para-graph nunber of the criteria, and a recammended solution.
b. The data collection method was also recorded on the HED fonn. Where data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions with cognizant DLC personnel.
c. Upon conpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the displays task plan were annotated to indicate con-pliance or noncompliance with the criteria.

3.5.5 Findings The findings of the displays survey are presented in Table 3.5

" Displays Survey Findings and HEDs Generated." A total of 107 criteria were applied to the displays in the BVPS-2 control roon, 3-54

ESP , and ASP . Since some features of the control roon were not conplete at the time of the survey; nine (8%) of the criteria were unable to be assessed. These criteria included: 6.5.3.lb and d; 6.5.4.la, b, h, and i; 6.5.5.1.c(1); and 6.5.5.2b and c.

Of the criteria assessed, 9 (8%) were not applicable, 60 (56%)

were not violated, and 29 - (27%) were violated. A total of 27 HEDs were generated which docunent all of the 29 criteria which were not met. .In general, those HEDs address display labeling, readability, adequacy of infomation presentation and methods of infonnation presentation.

T 3.6 Labels and Location Aids Survey This se'ction docunents the results of the lacels and location aids sur-

- vey conducted in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2. This review was conducted in accordance with the requirenents of NLREG-0700, as specified in the BVPS-2 DCRDR Program Plan.

3.6.1 Objectives The objectives of the labels and location aids survey were to:

a. Assess the degree to which all labels and location aids in the control roon, ESP, and ASP confonn to the criteria in NUREG-0700.
b. Identify and docunent any features of the labels and location aids that do not confonn to the criteria in NUREG-0100.

3.6.2 Scope The scope of the effort extends to the assessnent of the labels and location aids in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2 using the applicable guidelines as stated in NUREG-0700.

The topics evaluated include:

o Labeling of annunciator panels o Color coding of labels o Need for labeling o Hierarchical labeling o Placement of labels o Mounting of labels o Spatial orientation of labels o Label visibility o Label content o Word selection o Consistency o Synbols o Control position labeling o Label readability o Tenporary labels o Denarcation o Mimics.

3.6.3 Criteria The criteria applied in this survey, identified by NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber, are: paragraphs 6.3.3.3c(1) through (3);

6.5.1.6a through e; 6.6.1.1, 6.6.1.2a and b; 6.6.2.la through f; 6.6.2.2a and b; 6.6.2.3a and b; 6.6.2.4a through d; 6.6.3.la through b; 6.6.3.2a through f; 6.6.3.3b and c; 6.6.3.4a through 3-71

e; 6.6.3.5; 6.6.3.6, 6.6.3.7a and 0; 6.6.3.8a through c; 6.6.3.9a ano 0; 6.6.4.la and b; 6.6.4.2a through d; 6.6.5.la through h; 6.6.5.2a and b; 6.6.6.2a through c; 6.6.6.3; 6.6.6.4a through c; and 6.8.3.2d.

The detailed definitions for each criterion are presented in Table 3.6.

3.6.4 Method 3.6.4.1 Data Collection

a. Data were collected using the checklists fron the Labels and Location Aids Task Plan.
b. Data were collected primarily through review of the preliminary labeling list and direct observation of the control roon labeling. When possible, measure-ments were made of the physical characteristics (e.g., character size and separation, height-to-width ratios, etc.) of the control roon labels. For those guidelines related to consistency with opera-ting procedures (e.g., 6.6.3.3.c), preliminary E0Ps were reviewed.
c. Data were recorded on the appropriate data collec-l tion fonns.

l 3.6.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow-ing procedure:

l a. All deviations fran the criteria were recorded on l HED reports. Recorded infonnation included the labels involved, a description of the problen including the NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber of the criteria, and a recommended solution,

b. The data collection method was also recorded on the l HED fonn. Wiere data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions with cognizant OLC personnel,
c. Upon conpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the labels task plan were annotated to indicate conpli-ance or noncompliance with the criteria.

3.6.5 Findings The findings of the labels and location aids survey are presented -

- , . ~ - . .

115 criteria were applied to the labels and location aids in the BVPS-2 control roon, ESP, and ASP. Since some features of the control roon were not conplete at the time of the survey, 34 (30%) of the criteria were unable to be assessed. These criteria included: 6.5.1.6e(3); 6.6.2.2a; 6.6.2.4d; 6.6.3.2f; 6.6.3.3c; 6.6.3.9b; 6.6.4.la; 6.6.4.2a through d; 6.6.5.la through h; 6.6.5.2a and b. Of the criteria assessed,11 (10%) were not appl icable, 49 (43%) were not violated, and 21 (18%) were violated . A total of 20 HEDs were generated sich docunent all of the 21 criteria which were not met. In general, those HEDs address label content, lack of a hierarchical labeling schene, nonstandard abbreviations, readability of l abels, and lack of denarcation.

4.5.1.6 COLOR CODING

a. REDUNDANCY - In all applications of O YES color coding, color should provide redundant information. That is, the pertinent information should be available from some other cue in addition to color.
b. NUMBER OF COLOBS (1) The number of colors used for O YES coding should be kept to the minimum needed for providing sufficient information.

(2) 1he number of colors used for O YES coding should not exceed 11.

c. MEANING OF COLOBS (1) The meaning attached to a O YES particular color should be narrowly defined.

d. CONSISTENCY OF 38EANINO The meaning of a particular color O YES (3) should remain the same both within and among the various systems to which it is applied.
c. PRINCIPLES OF COLOR SELECTION (1) The primary principle which O YES should be applied in selecting colors for coding purposes which do not have the immediate safety implications of red, green, and amber is to ensure that each color is recognized as different from any other. Exhibit 6.5-711sts 22 colors of maximum contrast.

Each successive color has been selected so that it will contrast maximally with the color just preceding it and satisfactorily with earlier colors in the list.

The first 9 colors have been selected so as to yield saftisfactory contrast for red-green-de ficient as well as color-normalobservers. The remaining 13 colors are useful l only for color-normal observers, 3-75

3.7 Computer' System Survey This section docunents the results of the conputer systens conducted in the main control roon at BVPS-2. This review was conducted in accordance I with the requirenents of NUREG-0700, as specified in the BVPS-2 DCROR Program Plan. i 3.7.1 Objectives The objectives of the computer systems survey were to:

a. Assess the degree to which the conputer systen in the control room conforms to the criteria in NUREG-0700.
b. Identify and document any features of the conputer systen that do not conform to the criteria in NUREG-0700.

3.7.2 Scope The scope of the effort extends to the assessment of the conputer systens design in the main control roon at BVPS-2 using the applicable guidelines as stated in NUREG-0700. The scope consists of the following, although many of the topics could not be evalu-ated since many features of the control roan canputer systen were not couplete at the time of the survey.

o Software security o Operator /conputer dialogue o Pronpting and structuring o Keyboards o Conputer function controls o Other control devices o Computer response time o Access aids o CRT display characteristics o Synbol and character size o Operator-display relationships o Data presentation format o Screen layout and structuring o Messages o Graphic coding and highlighting o Multiple-page considerations o Printer characteristics o Alann messages o Graph and table requirenents.

3.7.3 Criteria The criteria applied in this survey, identified by NLREG-0700 paragraph nunber, are: paragraphs 6.5.1.6d(2), 6.7.1.la through d, 6.7.1.2a through d, 6.7.1.3a through e, 6.7.1.4a through 1, 6.7.1.Sa through d, 6.7.1.6a through d, 6.7.1.7a and b, 6.7.1.8a 3-88

6.7.3.2a through f, 6.7.3.3a through d. I The detailed definitions for each criterion are presented in Table 3-7.

3.7.4 Method 3.7.4.1 Data Collection

a. Data were collected using the checklists contained in the Computer Systen Task Plan. Data were col-lected pritaarily through measurenent and review of systen docunentation, including hardware specifica-tions.
b. All pertinent observations were recorded on the appropriate data forms.

3.7.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow-ing procedure:

a. All deviations fran the criteria were recorded on HED reports. Recorded infonnation included the i tens involved, a description of the problem including the NUREG-0700 paragr ph nunber of the criteria, and a recommended solution,
b. The data collection method was also recorded on the HED fonn. Where data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions witn cognizant plant personnel.
c. Upon conpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the conputer systen task plan were annotated to indicate compliance or noncompliance with the criteria.

3.7.5 Findings The findings of the conputer systens survey are presented in Table 3.7 "Conputer Survey Findings and HEDs Generated." Over-all, 228 criteria were applied to the conputer systen in the BVPS-2 control roon. Since inany features of the control roon conputer systen were not conplete at the tine of the survey the vast inajority of criteria, 212 (93%) were unable to be assessed.

These criteria included: 6.5.1.6d(2), 6.7.1.la through d, 6.7.1.2a through d, 6.7.1.3a through e, 6.7.1.4a c, d, e(1) and (2), f, h, and i, 6.7.1.5a through d, 6.7.1.6a through d, 3-89

3.8 Conventions Survey This section docunents the results of the conventions survey conducted in the nain control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2. This review was con-ducted in accordance with the requirenents of NUREG-0700, as specified in the BVPS-2 DCRDR Program Plan.

3.8.1 Objectives The objectives of the conventions survey were to:

a. Identify the NUREG-0700 defined conventions that are applied in the BVPS control roan.
b. Detennine if the applications of the identified conventions are consistent across the applicable design features,
c. Docunent any inconsistent or missing conventions in the con-trol roan.

3.8.2 Scope The scope of the effort extends to the assessment of color, shape, and arrangenent coding across design features in the main control roon, ESP, and ASP at BVPS-2 using the applicable guide-lines as stated in NUREG-0700. The topics evaluated include:

o Coding of controls o Color coding of controls and displays o Label content consistency o Enhancenents of energency controls a Use of Abbrevictions and Acronyns 3.8.3 Criteria The criteria applied in this survey, identified by NUREG-0700 paragraph nunber, are: paragraphs 6.3.3.4d; 6.4.2.2a, b, f(1) and f(2); 6.5.1.6b(2), c(2), and d(1) through d(3); 6.5.3.2a(2);

6.6.3.3a; 6.6.6.4c(1) and c(2); 6.8.1.3c and d.

The detailed definiions for each criterion are presented in Table 3.8.

3.8.4 Method 3.8.4.1 Data Collection

a. All required data fonns, plant docunentation, engi-neering drawings, equipnent, and materials were made available prior to conduct of this task. Pennission was obtained for all required access to the control roan.

D. Data were collected using methods and procedures consisting of observations and oocunent reviews.

3.8.4.2 Analysis -- Data were analyzed according to the follow-ing procedure:

a. All deviations fran the criteria were recorded on HED reports. Recorded infonnation included the conponents involved (e.g., controls, meters, labels, etc.), a description of the problen including the NlREG-0700 paragraph nunber of tne criteria, and a reconnended solution.
b. The data collection description was also recorded on the HED fonn. Where data fran two or more sources were contradictory, resolution of the conflict was achieved through data review and discussions with cognizant DLC personnel.
c. Upon canpletion of all analyses, the criteria of the conventions task plan were annotated to indicate compliance or nonconpliance with the criteria.

3.8.5 Findings The findings of the conventions survey are presented in Table 3-8

" Conventions Survey Findings and HEDs Generated." Overal l , 18 criteria were applied to the conventions in the BVPS-2 control roan, ESP, and ASP. Of the criteria assessed two (11%) were not applicable, eight (44%) were not violated, and eight (44%) were violated. A total of six HEDs were generated which docunent all of the eight criteria wnich were not met. In general, those HEDs describe instances of inconsistent uses of color, no administra-tive control over the uses of abbreviations, and no enhancenent techniques a 'd on energency controls.

4.0 SYSTEM FUNCTION REVIEW AND TASK ANALYSIS AND VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION 4.1 System Review and Task Analysis The systen review and task analysis fonns the basis for the verifi-cation of task perfonnance capabilities and the validation of con-trol room functions tasks.

4.1.1 Introduction The SRTA progran systenatically evaluated the needs of the control roon operations crew in response to energency tran-sients. The SRTA process and documentation was based on the methodology (see Reference 1) developed by the WDG and the NRC clarification conments (see Reference 2) on task analy-sis provided to the WOG at the March 29, 1984, meeting . The SRTA docunentation was structured to provide the infonnation required by the CRDR tean to perfonn the Verification of Operator Task Perfonnance Capability review phase of the CRDR.

4.1.2 Task Analysis Program The SRTA progran consists of a systenatic evaluation of representative plant energency operations to identify opera-tor actions and associated instrunentation and controls necessary to support operator response to energency tran-sients. The methodology and documentation for this phase were based on that developed by the WOG (see Reference 1).

The following subsections describe the selection of event sequences and E0Ps for task analysis and the process used to

. analyze the E0Ps to identify and docunent operator actions and required instrunentation and controls.

4.1. 2.1 Selection of Event Sequences and E0Ps for Task Analysis Task analysis data was developed for ev ent sequences that reflect a spectrun of plant ener-gency operations. The event sequences selected conplied with the reconmendations in NUREG-0700 and ensured that the task analysis docunentation addressed the important areas of energency opera-tion (e.g., event diagnosis, critical safety func-tion monitoring, high risk event sequences, etc.),

in addi tion, the event sequences selected repre-sentatively exercised the E0Ps. The event sequences selected for task analysis are itenized in Table 4.1 4-1

TABLE 4.1 SELECTED EVENT SEQUENCES FOR TASK ANALYSIS

1. Spurious safety injection
2. Loss of reactor coolant (snall break, approx.1 inch dianeter)
4. Loss of reactor coolant (large break)
5. Loss of secondary coolant
6. Conbined loss of reactor and secondary coolant
7. Stean generator tube rupture (design basis)
  • 8. Stean generator tube rupture (multiple ruptures in one stean gener-ator)
  • 9. Stean generator tube rupture (ruptures in more than 3ne stean gener-ator)
  • 11. Inadequate core cooling (resulting from failures in energency core cooling systen)
12. Inadequate core cooling (resulting from loss of secondary heat sink)
13. Pressurized thermal shock transient
14. High containment pressure transient

4-2 1

Based on the selected event sequences, the E0P set was reviewed to detennine Wiich procedures should be used in response to the above event sequences. -

In the synpton-based EOP set, at least two E0Ps (or portions thereof) and the critical safety function status trees were inplenented in response -to an energency transient. Figure 4-1 schenatically illustrates E0P impl enentation in response to a small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The review of E0P implenentation for the selected event sequences identified the selected E0Ps to be task analyzed . The selected E0Ps task analyzed are itenized in Table 4.2. This table also shows the event sequences for W11ch the E0P is inplenented.

Note that the Critical Safety Functiun Status Trees were inplanented for all event sequences. Through task analyzing these status trees, docunentation was developed for monitoring the plant safety state

, during energency operations, independent of the energency transient.

4.1.2.2 Process for Identification of Operator Actions Having selected the subset of E0Ps to be used, the task analysis process was applied to each E0P to identify the operator actions necessary to imple-ment the E0P in response to energency transients.

Following identification of operator actions, the necessary instrunentation and control requirenents to support the operator actions were identified.

This detailed infonnation (in addition to general infonnation on the operator function and the pur-pose of each E0P step) was docunented on Elenent Tables (see Figure 4-2) similar in fonnat to those developed in the WOG SRTA progran.

The docunents used for task analysis were the gen-eric ERGS, the plant specific E0Ps and the plant specific design and operational source docunenta-tion (flow diagrans, systen descriptions, electri-cal diagrans, etc). The task analysis activity was a table top evaluation of the plant specific E0Ps relative to the generic ERGS and pl ant specific source docunentation and identified the operator actions and associated instrunentation and control requirenents necessary to support operator response to energency transients. The table top evaluation was perfonned based on the- existing plant design and was independent of the existing control roon configuration and the specific instrunents and controls contained therein. The task analysis process was perfonned as follows:

4-3

1. Each E0P step was evaluated to identify the

. operator function (s) that the step supported and the purpose for the step. This infonnation was entered at the top of the table.

2. The step was then systenatically reviewed to identify the operator actions necessary to implenent each E0P step. Since the E0Ps fre-quently utilize concise task statenents -to trigger operator actions, all actions that are needed for operation of plant systens were not explicitly identified in the E0Ps. Where appropriate, the task analysis included identi-fication of the specific actions necessary to perfonn the tasks identified in the E0Ps. The operator actions were then entered on the Ele-ment Table.
3. Each operator action was then evaluated to identify the instrunentation and controls necessary for the operator to perfonn the necessary actions. This evaluation of instru-mentation and controls also identified the instrunentation and control criteria require-ments necessary for proper perfonnance of operator actions. The instrunentation and controls were entered on the Elenent Table.

Criteria requirenents (e.g. decreasing, at zero, etc.) were included in parentheses following the associated instrunentation and control s.

With respect to the task analysis process, any cautions and notes that preceded E0P steps were considered as part of the step and were analyzed on separate Elenent Tables.

Following preparation of the Elenent Tables for the selected E0Ps, the renaining E0Ps were reviewed to identify any operator actions, instrunentation or controls existing in the renaining E0Ps but not the selected E0Ps. This review ensured that the selected E0Ps were representative of energency operations. Any unique actions, instrunentation, or controls identified in this review were included in the task analysis process and identified on Elenent Tables. This approach provided representa-tive task. analysis docunentation in an efficient manner sile ensuring conpl ete identification of operator actions, instrunentation, and controls utilized in energency operations.

4.1.2.3 Compilation of Instrunentation and Control Require-

. ments Following conpletion of the task analysis process, the resulting infonnation was conpiled on sunmary tables which highlighted specific infonnation.

This was especially advantageous for instrunenta-tion and controls since all uses for a specific instrument or control are presented on a single Requirenents Table, precluding the need for a user to review all Elenent Tables to obtain the sane

. d ata. Consequently, following conpletion of the El enent Tables for the selected E0Ps and unique emergency operator actions, the instrunentation and

< control requirenents were conpiled on Instrumenta-tion Requirenents Tables (see Figure 4-3) and Con-trol / Indication Requirenents Tables (see Figure 4 -4 ) , respectively, simil ar in fonnat to those

- developed in the WOG SRTA program.

4.1.2.4 Compilation of System Sequence Requirements As part of the task analysis process to identify and evaluate operator actions, plant systens were

, reviewed to identify equipnent (instrunentation and controls) that must be used to acconplish operator if ,, actions. Following conpletion of the task analysis V process, the resul ting infonnation on operator actions and plant systens were conpiled to show the sequence in dich the operator uses the plant sys-tens in implenenting the E0Ps. A Systen Sequence Matrix was prepared for each selected E0P to show the plant systens that were used to perfonn each

- i step in the E0P. As with other task analysis docu-3 mentation, the Systen Sequence Matrices (see Figure 4-5) are similar in fonnat to those developed in the WOG SRTA progran.

4.1.3.2 Ins'trumentation and Control Requirement Tables

The Requirenent Tables conpile the specific cri-teria requirenents for instrunentation and controls necessary for implenentation of operator actions.

4.1.3.3 System Sequence Matrices The Systen Sequence Matrices identify the sequence in which the operator uses pl ant systens in response to energency transients. Separate matrices are provided for each selected E0P that was task analy?ed.

4.1.4 Use of Task Analysis Documentation in Verification of Opera-tor Task Perfonnance Capability 4.1.4.1 The objective of Verification of Operator Task Perfonnance capability is to assure that operator tasks can be performed in the existing control room with minimun potential for hunan error. Verific a-tion evaluates task execution at each work station and consists of:

4.1.4.1.1 Verification of Availability Verification of the presence (or absence) of instrunents and equipnent that provide the infonnation and control capabilities necessary to impl anent i operator actions.

4.1.4.1.2 Verification of Suitability Verification that the man-machine inter-faces provided- by the displ ays, controls i and other control roon features are '

effectively designed to support operator actions.

4.1.4.2 The task analysis docunentation was structured to support a verification process consisting of ve i-fication of operator action perfonnance capability.

The following subsection describes the use of the task analysis docunentation in supporting the veri-fication process.

4.1. 4. 2.1 Verification of Operator Action Perfor-mance Capability The verification activity consists of evaluating the av ail ability and suit-ability of control roan instrunentation 4-12

and controls to support perfonnance of operator actions. The Elenent Taoles were used for this activity.

For each Elenent Table, the multidisci-plinary CRDR review tean systenatically reviewed the operator actions itenized under the ACTIONS heading . As each action was revi ewed, the CRDR tean located the instrunentation and controls in the control roon necessary to support the operator actions. After locating the instrumentation and controls, the tean evaluated the suitability of the instrunentation and controls for per-fonning the operator actions. The suit-ability ev aluation was structured to evaluate the specific operator action

. criteria (e.g., greater than 1500 psig, less than 700*F, etc.) upon which opera-tor actions are based. The tean utilized the infonnation under the INSTRUMENTA-TION and the CONTROLS headings to ident-ify criteria requirenents. In working through . each Elenent Table, the tean evaluated all entries under the ACTIONS, INSTRUMENTATIONS, and CONTROLS headings to ensure that the task analysis docu-mentation was couplete and self-consis-tent.

4.1.5 'use of Task Analysis Docucentation in Validation of Control Room Functions The objective of Validation of Control Rocn Functions is to detennine tether the functions of the control roon operat-ing crew can be acconplished effectively within (1) the structure of defined E0Ps, and (2) the design of the control roon as it exists. Validation evaluates operator function execution within the integrated control roon configuration and consists of walk and talk-throughs of sel ected event sequences with control roon personnel.

The E0Ps are the appropriate docunents for use by the con-trol roon personnel in directing their response to the selected event sequences. Although not specifically devel-oped or needed for Validation, the Elenent Tables of the SRTA progran were used by the multidisciplinary CRDR tean as a source docunent with which to observe the response of the operators to the event sequences. Since the Elenent Tables 4-13 l

-_ ._._ ._________J

were developed based on the procedures, these tables iten-

- ized detailed operator actions and associated instrunenta-tion and control requirenents necessary for proper response to energency transients. Through conparing the actions in the Elenent Tables with the operator walk-through actions, discrepancies were noted and discussed in the talk-through portion of the validation.

4.2 Verification of Task Performance Capabilities The verification of task perfonnance capabilities was acconplished in accordance wi th the guidelines in NUREG-0700 per DLC NCD Instruction R 405.

4.2.1 Methodology The verification of task perfonnance capabilities was I divided into two parts: verification of availability and verification of suitability.

4. 2 .1.1 Verification of Availability Each operator need (control, indication, and instrument) identified in the SRTA elenent tables I was listed on a verification of availability check- l

. list (Figure 4-6). The Core Tean then conpared i each operator need with the BVPS-2 CRDR main con- '

trol board mockup and the inventory data sheets, as required, to verify the availability of the devices ,

necessary to impl enent each operator task. The '

main control board section identifier and device mark nunber was recorded on the c.hecklist for each device found. Any missing device was recorded on a HED and the HED nunber was recorded on the check-list. In addition, the main control board was conpared with the . renaining NUREG-0700, Section 6 guidelines pertaining to verification of equipnent avail ability per task pl an TP-9.2. Task pl an TP-9.2 is contained in the CROR files.

4.2.1.2 Verification of Suitability

~

As was done for the verification of availability, each operator need was listed on a verification of suitability checklist (Figure 4-7). The Core Tean

. then conpared the operator control, indication, and instrunent requirenents with the main control board mockup and inventory data sheets, as necessary, to ensure that the devices on the main control board have the characteristics (range, precision, po si-tion, etc.) to support each operator t ask. In addition, the characteristics of the devices were conpared against the renaining NUREG-0700, Section 6 guidelines that pertain to verification of equip-ment suitability.

5.0 ASSESSMENT AND DISPOSITION OF HEDs 5.1 Assessment Assessnent of the HEDs generated by the various CRDR tasks was accomplished in accordance with DLC NCD Instruction R-407.

5 .1.1 Methodology Following review and signoff by the Westinghous Progran Coordinator /I&C Engineer (to ensure accuracy and conplete-ness fron a technical standpoint) and by the Essex Hunan Factors Project Manager /HFS (to ensure accuracy and con-pleteness fran a hunan factors standpoint), each HED was assigned a unique nunber, recorded in the HED Log and assessed by the review tean (the meaning of the HED nunber is explained in Instruction R-409) . Preliminary HEDs that were not legiti.nate because of the misinterpretation of a NUREG-0700, Section 6, guideline or the misunderstanding of a control roon feature were discarded.

The Review Tean consisted of the Review Tean Leader, the Technical Coordinator, the Instrunentation and Control Engi-neer, the R0, the HFS, and supporting personnel as deter-mined necessary by the Review Tean.

Fi rst, the Review Tean assessed the priority of each HED based upon a preestablished logic diagran (See Figure 5.1).

Each HED was categorized as follows:

  • Category I - A HED based upon an error documented as actu-ally occuring at a plant of similar design.
  • Category II - A HED based upon a discrepancy having a relatively high potential for degrading perfonnance.
  • Category III - A HED based upon a discrepancy having a relatively low potential for degrading perfonnance.

Each HED was then assessed further for safety importance and consequence of error to detennine priority, with a scale of 1 through 9 rel ating relative overall importance fran a safety and hunan factors perspective (for more details on priority rating, see Instruction R-407, Appendix B). Figure 5.1 is a sample of a conpleted HED Priority Record Fonn.

The Review Tean evaluated each HED and detennined what cor-rective action should be taken. Corrective actions, such as surf ace enhancenent, design change, or procedural, training, or administrative changes, were reconmended. The reconmend-ations are recorded on the HED forms.

5-1

Following CRDR Core Tean agreenent on the reconmended reso-lutions, a reassessment was perfonned to detennine Aether the correction satisf actorily resolved the existing discrep-ancy and to ensure that the final reconmended resolution would not introduce new discrepancies. Each HED resolution was assessed for the extent of deviation fran the guide-lines. A rating of zero oeviation for the reconmended reso-lutiun was considered acceptable. A greater-than-zero devi-ation fron the guidelines requireo a deternination of error potential and a detennination of consequence of error on a scale of 1 through 6. An error potential or a consequence of error greater than 3 required a modification of the reconmended resolution or a docunented justification of the original resolution. Figure 5.2 is a sanple of a conpleted Reassessnent of Probable Error and Deviation fonn.

The reconmended resolution section of each HED was reviewed and signed by the Westinghouse Progrsn Coordinator, the DLC Review Tean Leader, and the Essex Hunan Factors Project Manager to denote acceptance of the reconmended resolution.

The HEDs were submitted to DLC managenent for review and approv al . The DLC Managenent Tean consisted of the Engi-neering Manager, the Regulatory Af fairs Manager, and the Operations Manager to approved, disapproved, or modified and justified the reconmended rc.olutions. Dissapproved or modified HEDs were returned to the Review Tean for concur-rence, reiteration of the original reconmendation, or the developnent of an alternate recanmendation.

6.0 Il@LEMENTATION AND SCHEDULING 0F CORRECTIVE ACTIONS It is anticipated that all HED corrective actions will be iraplenented prior to the scheduled fuel load date of April 30, 1987. However, there is one exception: HED 2VA9-2403 may involve considerable rework in the instru-ment loops and/or a change out of the transnitters. The scope for resolving this HED is under investigation. If circunstances should arise which would prevent DLC fron iinplenenting an HED identified in this report prior to fuel load, the NRC will be notified.

The NUREG-0700 criteria listed in Section 3.1 of this report sich involve dual unit control roon characterstics, and those listed as unable to be assessed, will be evaluated using the original set of CRDR instructions, ensuring a consistent approach for the Assessnent and Disposition of HEDs which may result. Tne post-CRDR evaluation will conmence after renoval of the tenporary wall and den the dual unit control roon is in a state which will allow for a couplete and final review. It is anticipated that any HEDs resul ting fron the post-CRDR evaluation will be impl enented prior to or during the first refueling cycle followi ng canpl etion of the po st-CRDR evaluation.

7.0 C0 ORDINATION WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES 7 .1 Emergency Operating Procedures (E0Ps)

The usability of the E0Ps and their correlation to the control roan hardware are important aspects of the E0P developnent progran .

With this in mind, BVPS-2 integrated the E0P validation progran witn the CRDR validation progran. This approach ensured a coordi-nated effort between the two prograns while eliminating the dupli-l cation of work that would have otherwise occured. In addition, the SRTA portion of the CRDR used the E0Ps as its basis. This exanina-tion of the E0Ps enabled the Review Tean to reconmend changes to the E0Ps which would enhance their usability in the control roon.

HEDs generated against the E0Ps are listed in Table 5.5.

7.2 Regulatory Guide 1.97 -- Post-Accident Monitoring The Regulatory Guide 1.97 instrumentation was already installed at the time of the CRDR and therefore was reviewed as an integral part of the CRDR. The Regulatory Guide 1.97 instrisnentation, like all of the operator information and control needs, was reviewed in the Control Roan Survey, SRTA, Verification of Task Perfonnance Capabilities, and Validation of Control Room Functions.

7.3 Unit 1 Control Room Design Review The Unit 1 and Unit 2 CRDRs were conducted oy separate Review Teans due to the scheduling constraints of the Unit 2 construction project. The Unit 2 CRDR Summary Report was originally schedcled for a June,1985, submittal while the Unit 1 submittal was sched- l uled for Decenber,1985. However, with the announcenent in January, 1985, of the 14-month delay in the project conpletion date, the Unit 2 Summary Report submittal date was changed to Decenber,1985.

The revised submittal date ensured a more conprehensive review and increased coordination with Unit 1 (since both review tasks would ,

l now be conducted in parallel), yet allowed for sufficient time to implenent the HED fixes prior to the scheduled fuel load date of April 30, 1987.

7.3.1 Unit 1/ Unit 2 Coordination The primary means of coordinating the two efforts was through the exchange of HEDs. All BVPS-2 HEDs were forwarded to the BVPS-1 Tean Leader and vice-versa. The HEDs were then reviewed to ensure that similar problens would receive similar fixes. The Unit 1 HEDs were then screened by the Unit 2 Operations Startup Group to identify HEDs which:

1 7-1 -

1. Apply to Unit 2,
2. Have soine type of action reconmended by Unit 1 - Review Tean, and
3. Were not identified as an HED by the Unit 2 Review Tean.

There are ten Unit 1 HEDs which meet the above criteria (see

-Tabl e 7.1). Nine of these have resolutions reconmended by the Unit 1 tean, but at the writing of this report, had not yet received final Unit 1 disposition. Unit 2 will await l

Unit 1 disposition prior to acting on these HEDs.

8.0 CONCLUSION

S The BVPS-2 CRDR progran was conducted to ensure conpliance with accepted hunan engineering standards. Tne standards used are contained in NUREG-0700.

Appendix D provides a NUREG-0700 Section 6 Guidelines /BVPS-2 CRDR findings cross-reference.

With the conpletion of the CRDR, DLC feels confident that the control roon, ESP, and ASP will support operation during nonnal and energency condi-tions. The success of the CRDR progran can be attributed to three factors:

o managenent connaitment to the review effort o expertise of the multidisciplinary Review Tean, and o detailed planning and scheduling in the early stages of the review.

8.1 Continuing Human Factors Program The success of the CRDR progran also required a good working rela-tionship between the Operations, Engineering, and Licensing depart-ments. This established relationship will be helpful as the HED resolutions are implenented. The equipnent change resolutions are being implenented through the Change Request process discussed in Section 5.2.2. The procedure changes will be incorporated into the next revision of the E0Ps. The HEDs involving labeling 14aprovenents have been addressed through the revised Naneplate Engraving List which incorporates the standard station rionenclature, abbreviations list, and the new naneplate fonnat.

The denarcation and hierarchical labeling schene was not attenpted during the course of the CRDR due to the ongoing construction in the control roon (see Figure 8.1). This effort will begin in the near future at which time the design of the control boards will be, for the most part, finalized. DLC plans to use the Electric Power and Research' Institute (EPRI) Report NP-2411, "Hunan Engineering Guide for Enhancing Nuclear Control Roans," and the existing guidance of the BVPS-1 control board to guide this effort.

Any control board changes made after the CRDR and before operation of Unit 2 will be reviewed by engineers at Stone & Webster Corp.

( Architect / Engineer for BVPS-2), wno are trained in Hunan Factors, to ensure that no new HEDs are created. Also, all changes must be reviewed by the Design Change Control Group (DCCG) at DLC. The chainnan of the DCCG was a member of the Unit 1 CRDR and had input to the Unit 2 CRDR. The operations representative on the DCCG was an active participant on the BVPS-2 CRDR Tean and had extensive input during the Assessnent and Disposition phase.

. 8 .'2 Post-Operational Human Factors ' Program At BVPS-1 (an operational plant) any design changes which inyolve the control roon are required to receive a hunan factors review in the Design Concept stage. When BVPS-2 becones operational, it will

-^ ~ also be subject to this requirenent. The existing (BVPS-1) guide-

. line for conducting a Human Factors Review is Nuclear Engineering Departnent Internal Instruction No. 39, "Hunan Factors Engineering Guidelines." This instruction reconmends operator interviews and use of consultants in reviewing the proposed change and requires conpliance.with NUREG-0700 guidelines. The full-scale photo mock-up is also available to ensure that the proposed change does not create any new HEDs.
