I Also Tasks 1 and 2, the period of performance and the reporting requirements are revised at no additional cost to the govcrnment.
For clarification purposes, this modification contains Article I through IV in their entirety.
Therefore Articles I through IV, as modified by Modification No.1, are deleted and restated as follows below. Wherever new revisions from the basic contract and modification one appear, the verbage is identified

Back;round As part of its effort following the Three Mile Island Unit 2 accident, the NRC Bulletins and Orders Task Force has required modifications to operating proce::ures pertaining to emergency conditions for a number of operating reactors.I As a result of its review of these procedures, the staff has begun to question whether the procedures areoptimallydesignedfromahumagfactorsviewpoint.
In add.ition, the NRC Lessons Learned Task Force has proposed that the review o,f emergency operating procedures should include consideration of pertinent theories of education, crisis management, and human factors as part of the underlying bases for licensing. The Lessons Learned Task Force found that the previous NRC reviews of emergency operating procedures did not specifically investigate their compatibility with design bases of the systems involved nor did they include the discipline of human factors.
B.
Objective The objective of this work effort is to obtain technical expertise in the area of human factors and man-machine interfaces engineering to assist the NRC in arriving at psychological and human factor considerations to be followed in the development of nuclear power plant operating procedures.
C.
Work Reouirements 1.
Task 1 - Review of Nuclear Power Plant Operating Procedures for Small Break Loss-of-Coolant (LOCA) Accidents.
Review and evaluate, from human factors and man-machiae interface engineering considerations, the emergency operating procedures for plant operators to respond to small break loss-of-coolant accidents for the plants listed below.
Identify the problem areas in the procedures and recommend improvements for each of the plants.

Should the Government exercise the option hereunder, all contractual terms and conditions shall apply during the option period.
b.
Prepare reccamendations and guidance as to the human factors 'and man-machine interface engineering factors that should be used and followed when preparing nuclear power plant operating procedures for e_mergen_cr conditions.
All relevant human factors elements should be considered including but not limited to (1) the usability of the procedures by the operators, (2) depth & format of the procedures, (3) the nature of operator error resulting from use of the procedures, (4) other human factors considerations as addressed in documents relating to licensing of nuclear power plants, and (5) experience outside the commerical nuclear industry in the use of written procedures for crisis mitigation.
