## Description

ONR is seeking to engage one of the Technical Support Contractors \(TSC\) appointed on Lot 2 of its Technical Support Framework\. ONR has identified a research need to understand better the HF implications of deploying advanced Human Machine Interfaces in new reactor designs\. This was borne out of the international trend for new reactor designs to incorporate digital C&I systems and their proposed use in designs going through ONR's Generic Design Assessment \(GDA\) process\. To enhance its capability in the regulation of advanced Human Machine Interfaces, ONR has a requirement for the development of HF advice and guidance on substantiation for advanced HMIs\. This will explore what suitable and sufficient could look like - when using existing tools, methods, and published academic research - for the substantiation of screen based digital C&I systems\. The outputs from the works should be documented in a technical report and should capture industry experience and judgement and should consider both the qualitative and quantitative aspects\.
