2OP-51 Rev. 67 Page 52 of 235
TABLE 1 Page 1 of 2 General Guidelines for Determining Which Bus Is Grounded I Information Use There will always be some resistance to ground which means there will always be a mA reading to ground on each bus. Also, one bus will typically have a larger mA reading to ground than the other, but unless the overall resistance of the system falls below the setpoint, this will generally be acceptable. IF a ground below 25 K is found to exist, these guidelines should be referred to for assistance.
mA Reading Grounded Bus P > N N P < N P
- P N PN
- The mA readings for the P Bus and N Bus should be 0.1 mA to 0.2 mA within each other to be considered approximately equal.
The following chart recorder information is to be considered general guidelines for helping to determine the following information:
- Which bus is grounded
- The type of ground present
- The severity of the ground
- The time the ground occurred
- 1. Due to the oscillating resistance within the ground detector, a wide trace, that represents voltage from the PN bus to ground, is produced at the output of the chart recorders. This trace will be positioned in the middle of the chart, around the zero axis, during conditions when there are no grounds present. This trace will also be relatively wide.
If a ground on the P bus were to occur, the entire trace would become narrower and shift toward the negative direction (left), which would represent a decrease in the voltage from the P bus to ground and an increase in voltage from the N bus to ground. Likewise, if a ground on the N bus were to occur, the entire trace would become narrower and shift toward the positive direction (right). If a ground were to occur on the PN bus, the trace would become narrower and remain in the middle of the chart.
2OP-51 Rev. 67 Page 201 of 235
TABLE 1 Page 2 of 2 General Guidelines for Determining Which Bus is Grounded
- 2. The chart recorder trace is helpful in determining what type of ground is present, such as, moisture related grounds, periodic grounds, grounds due to spikes on the system, or normal grounds.
A moisture related ground is usually an erratic trace that may increase or decrease in width, or slowly trend to a narrower band.
A periodic ground is one that comes in, goes away and comes in again at a later time. This is usually indicative of testing going on somewhere in the plant.
Grounds due to spikes will be indicated by single spikes on the chart recorder trace and are usually correlated with equipment changing states (i.e., diesel starts).
Normal grounds are characterized by a narrowing or shifting of the chart recorder trace for long periods of time. This can be either a gradual change or a step change.
- 3. The severity of the ground can be determined by the width of the chart recorder trace, but an actual value cannot be calculated. The ground detectors will provide the actual value.
- 4. An annotation trace is provided with the chart recorders that prints the date and time at periodic intervals on the chart. The length from the time reference mark to the start of the ground can be measured and divided by the chart speed to determine the time the ground occurred.

NOTE: Since the overall resistance (20.5 K) is below the setpoint (25 K), this suggests there is a ground on the system which must be verified. Once the ground has been verified, ground hunting activities should commence.
According to Table 1, the ground is located on the N Bus. AI-115 should then be referenced for monitoring activities which will show that Action Level 1 should be entered.

0AI-115 125/250 VDC SYSTEM GROUND CORRECTION GUIDELINES REVISION 8 0AI-115 Rev. 8 Page 1 of 8
1.0 DC GROUND POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of Progress Energy to engineer, construct, and operate nuclear power plants without jeopardy to the health and safety of the public and of its employees.
The function of this procedure is to establish a set of criteria for actions which should be taken based upon the magnitude of grounds on the 125/250 Vdc distribution system. Completion of the various actions will provide a reasonable assurance that the 125/250 Vdc distribution system will continue to satisfy the CP&L policy.
It shall be the responsibility of all organizations at the plant and of all corporate support groups to provide support needed to ensure that the DC Ground program is successful.
2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The 125/250 Vdc system at BNP is an ungrounded system. The system was designed as an ungrounded system so that the system could sustain one solid ground fault and still be able to meet all requirements for continued safe operation. On the ungrounded system, when the first ground fault occurs the system is degraded, but it is not degraded below an acceptable grounded level.
The dc ground detectors provide a means of monitoring the dc distribution system for significant grounds. If one ground occurs, the ground detectors will alert plant operations so that the ground can be corrected before a second more significant ground occurs.
The purpose of this document is to provide a set of guidelines for plant operations to use to determine the urgency of action and the actions to be taken to correct a known dc ground based upon the severity of the ground. The initial values selected for this document should provide a reasonable assurance that the operation of the dc distribution system will not be adversely affected.
The effectiveness of this document will depend on the full support of all levels of plant and corporate management. This includes the provision of adequate resources and a dedication to correcting grounds expeditiously as required by the action statements.
Changes to these guidelines will be made as the detailed evaluation of the dc distribution system continues and as refinements and improvements in the dc ground detection system dictate.
0AI-115 Rev. 8 Page 2 of 8
3.0 BASIS FOR ACTION LEVELS Electrical Evaluation BNP-E-6.116 was issued to provide a basis for the setpoint of the battery ground detectors. The value established by this evaluation is 25 kilohms (k). The ground detectors operate with a +/- 15% band, which corresponds to 21.3 - 28.8 K.
Electrical devices at BNP were researched and the most sensitive device of concern was determined to be GE HFA relays. These relays have a nominal dropout current of 3.75 mA. This value was utilized to derive an appropriate setpoint. Therefore, at ground levels just below 25 k, situations (involving two very strategically located grounds) could develop that might hold-in a normally energized relay.
At ground levels below 15 k, sufficient currents are allowed to develop which under the right conditions (involving two strategically located grounds) could result in picking up a de-energized relay. Since most relays in the system are normally de-energized relays, this level is considered the most urgent to correct.
When the ground detector alarm is clear (nominal 25 k), there are no required actions to be taken. Action Level 1 is between 25 k and 15 k and plant procedures should be entered to locate and correct the ground condition.
Grounds below 15k shall be considered the most severe condition (Action Level 2) and shall require the greatest degree of effort towards resolution.
This procedure provides guidance to plant operations as to prudent actions to be taken when dc system grounds are encountered. These guidelines do not necessarily ensure that a system operating problem will not occur if the guidelines are followed. However, due to the fact that very specific, isolated, and independent events must occur with the dc grounds on the system to create the potential for operational problems, the guidelines provide a relative degree of confidence that corrective actions can be completed before these system operating problems occur.
4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1 The Plant General Manager is responsible for assignment of specific responsibilities for the implementation of this program.
4.2 The Manager of Operations is responsible for ensuring that appropriate corrective actions are followed as outlined in this guideline.
0AI-115 Rev. 8 Page 3 of 8
4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 4.3 The Manager of Maintenance is responsible for assuring prompt and effective assistance in ground hunting and repair of plant equipment with dc grounds.
4.4 The Manager of Brunswick Engineering Support Section is responsible for any support functions towards monitoring and/or repair of dc grounds.
5.0 DEFINITIONS 5.1 Action Levels Operation at or below the action-level 1 or 2 values presented in this document may not result in immediate misoperation of dc electrical equipment, however, the dc electrical equipment will be operating in a degraded condition.
5.1.1 Action Level 0 (ground resistance 25 k)
This is the achievable value which should be maintained by applying good operating and maintenance practices. Every effort should be made to operate with the dc grounds at or above this value.
5.1.2 Action Level 1 (ground resistance 15k to 25k)
This level represents the level of operation of the dc system below the ground detector alarm setpoint of 25k. Operation with one ground in this range will not result in the inadvertent pickup of a de-energized relay, but could result in the inadvertent hold-in of an energized relay if a second hard ground were to occur. Actions should be taken to restore the ground resistance to Action Level 0 values to minimize the possibility of continued degradation of the dc distribution system. (When a ground detector alarm is sealed in, proceed as per Action Level 1 even if above 25 K unless directed otherwise by Plant Management. Throughout this procedure when 25 k is used to define the boundary between Action Level 0 and Action Level 1 it refers to the point where the annunciator clears) 5.1.3 Action Level 2 (ground resistance 15k)
This level represents the level of operation that could result in the inadvertent pickup of a de-energized relay if a second ground 25k occurs. Prompt actions should be taken to restore the ground resistance to a minimum of Action Level 1 values prior to encountering a second ground 25k. Continuous investigation of possible grounds should be conducted until the ground is located and corrected.
0AI-115 Rev. 8 Page 4 of 8
6.0 ACTION REQUIREMENTS 6.1 Action Level 0 ( 25k)
At Action Level 0, the dc grounds are above the dc ground detector alarm point of 25k. No actions are required providing the dc ground detector alarms are operable.
If the dc ground detector alarms are determined to be inoperable, then the ground current shall be measured once per shift per OP-51, to verify that the grounds are above the alarm point.
6.1.1 If the DC ground annunciator alarms or ground current measurements demonstrate a ground, perform the following:
- 1. Note ground in Shift Supervisor's log along with any possibly related activity/evolution (e.g weather, equipment start, etc).
- 2. If ground measurement determines that ground is valid, Operations should perform ground hunting per OP-51 and appropriate action level OR initiate a Work Request for I&C support. Note that use of portable ground detection equipment by maintenance requires taking the bus ground detector out of service which will disable the associated annunciator.
6.2 Action Level 1 (<25k to >15k)
At Action Level 1, the dc grounds are above the point where de-energized relays may pickup if a hard ground occurs on the opposite bus. This action level shall be entered if ground current measurements demonstrate that a ground between 25k and 15k actually exists. Action steps for Action Level 1 are as follows:
6.2.1 The ground current shall be measured once per shift per OP-51, to ensure that the ground resistance has not degraded to the Action Level 2 point.
6.2.2 Efforts shall be undertaken to isolate all circuits per OP-51 which can be isolated without affecting plant operation in an effort to locate the ground OR request maintenance assistance using ground detection equipment. Ground hunting will proceed in accordance with the requirements of ADM-NGGC-0104, Attachment 4, with an assigned priority of 2.
0AI-115 Rev. 8 Page 5 of 8
6.0 ACTION REQUIREMENTS 6.2.3 If the ground cannot be located as per 6.2.2 or ground hunting must be interrupted, notify the Manager - Operations. Additional ground hunting will be planned in accordance with the requirements of 0AP-025, considering the elevated risk.
6.2.4 Circuits identified with grounds should be corrected expeditiously, and if possible, placed under clearance while waiting correction.
6.3 Action Level 2 ( 15k)
At Action Level 2 the dc grounds are at the point where de-energized relays may pickup or energized relays may dropout if another 25k ground occurs on the opposite bus. This action level shall be entered if measurement of the ground current demonstrates that the ground is less than or equal to 15k. Action steps for Action Level 2 are as follows:
6.3.1 The ground current shall be measured twice per shift to ensure that the ground resistance has not degraded or to determine if any worse grounds develop.
6.3.2 Efforts shall be undertaken to test with ground detection equipment OR to isolate per OP-51 all dc circuits which have not been isolated.
Maintenance will provide continuous support as required. The ground hunting effort will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of ADM-NGGC-0104, Attachment 4, with an assigned priority of 1.
6.3.3 Until the ground can be located, it should be recognized that a degraded or failed component may exist in the division with the low ground. A review of ongoing and scheduled work should be considered. For example, a clearance or surveillance test in the opposite division might need to be postponed based on potential risk.
6.3.4 If after seven days the ground has not been located notify the Plant General Manager. If unit startup is imminent, PNSC will evaluate risk.
6.3.5 Circuits identified with grounds should be corrected expeditiously, and if possible, placed under clearance while waiting correction.

1.0 PURPOSE
- 1. This procedure establishes Nuclear Generation Group processes for managing fatigue and controlling work hours in accordance with the 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, Managing Fatigue. The requirements of the procedure provide reasonable assurance that the effects of fatigue and degraded alertness on the ability of individuals to safely and competently perform their duties are managed commensurate with maintaining public health and safety.
- 2. This procedure establishes:
- The responsibilities of badged personnel for managing fatigue
- The process for authorizing a waiver of working hour limits
- The process for scheduling, tracking and calculating work hours
- The process for making a self-declaration of fatigue
- The process for performing a supervisory fatigue assessment
- The process for performing periodic reviews
- The process for generating the required annual reports
- The process for generating required records
- 3. The fatigue management program applies to ALL workers who are granted unescorted access or who are required to physically report to the Technical Support Center (TSC) or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) in accordance with emergency plans and procedures.
ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 3 of 89
1.0 PURPOSE (continued)
NOTE: PGN will implement these requirements conservatively. For workers who normally perform the duties below, all work hours will generally be considered covered work. Workers will not typically move in and out of a covered worker status except for extended work assignments such as shared resources during outages.
- 4. The work hour controls apply ONLY to workers who perform the following duties:
a) Operating or on-site directing of the operation of systems and components that a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety (see Attachment 4) b) Maintenance or on-site directing of the maintenance of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) that a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety (see Attachment 4) c) Health Physics or Chemistry duties required as a member of the on-site emergency response organization minimum shift complement d) Fire Brigade member responsible for understanding the effects of fire and fire suppressants on safe shutdown capability (Fire Brigade Team Leader/Site Incident Commander) e) Armed security force officer, alarm station operator, response team leader, or watchperson, (i.e., security personnel)
- 5. Work hour controls are applicable to management personnel if they assume the responsibilities of directing the operations or maintenance activities that a risk-informed evaluation process has shown to be significant to public health and safety.
- 6. Work hour controls do NOT apply during the following exceptions:
a) During declared plant emergencies as defined by the plants emergency plan (i.e., an emergency class declaration of Notification of Unusual Event or higher). Note that the hours worked during the emergency are included in the total hours worked but the work hour controls are not applicable b) Force-on-force NRC evaluated tactical exercises. PGN may exclude shifts worked by security personnel during the actual conduct of force-on-force tactical exercises evaluated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) when calculating the workers number of days off.
ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 4 of 89
1.0 PURPOSE (continued) c) Common defense and security. PGN need not meet the work hour requirements when informed in writing by the NRC that these requirements, or any subset thereof, are waived for security personnel in order to assure the common defense and security, for the duration of the period defined by the NRC.
d) When a worker performs unscheduled work off-site (e.g.,
technical assistance provided by telephone from a workers home) provided the total duration of the work does not exceed a nominal 30 minutes during any single break period. The time associated with the unscheduled off-site work activity does not constitute a work period or work shift if less than 30 minutes.

3.0 DEFINITIONS (continued)
- 16. DIRECTING - the exercise of control over a work activity by a worker who is directly involved in the execution of the work activity, and either makes technical decisions for that activity without subsequent technical review, or is ultimately responsible for the correct performance of that work activity. Considerations should include all of the following when determining if a worker is directing an operation or maintenance activity:
- Is the activity on a risk significant structure or component?
- Is the worker on-site?
- Is the worker the first line supervisor/foreman/leader?
- Is the worker directly involved in the execution of the work activity?
- Is the worker making technical decisions for that activity without subsequent technical review?
- Is the worker ultimately responsible for the correct performance of that work activity?
NOTE: Position alone should not be the deciding factor. For example a Shift Manager -
Operations is a second level supervisor, however, in practice and as defined in 10 CFR 26, has the authority to direct covered activities. Careful analysis, evaluating all the criteria, should occur prior to determining applicability or exclusion.
The following are examples of non-directing activities:
- Normal engineering tasks
- Supervision in the plant of the maintenance on a non-covered SSC
- Supervision at the second level of supervision
- Preparing a work or modification package
- Procedure development and revisions

7.0 SPECIAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT None 8.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 8.1 During on-line periods, work schedules should be developed to prevent any covered worker from exceeding an average of 54 hours6.25e-4 days <br />0.015 hours <br />8.928571e-5 weeks <br />2.0547e-5 months <br /> per week over a shift cycle. If the average work hours exceed 54 hour/week, an NCR must be written to document the circumstances resulting in the increased work hours. This acceptance criterion does not apply to workers who are on-site less than 7 days.
8.2 Workers shall not exceed the work hour limits defined in the procedure unless authorized by a waiver. If it is determined that a worker has violated the requirements, an NCR must be written and, if applicable, the NCR number added to the comment fields in EmpCenter.
8.3 If EmpCenter shows a violation message, and due to special circumstances, it is determined that the violation is not valid, a manual deviation override admin code, (DEVOVR), can be used. If this override admin code is used for situations other than the five below, an NCR must be written to document why the override is acceptable. The NCR number should also be added to the comment field in EmpCenter.

ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 22 of 89
9.0 INSTRUCTIONS 9.1 Calculating Work Hours 9.1.1 Items To Be Included In Work Hour Calculation
- 1. Work hours are calculated as the amount of time a worker performs any duties for PGN including but not limited to the following:
a) All within-shift break times and rest periods (including meal breaks) during which there is no reasonable opportunity or accommodations appropriate for restorative sleep (e.g., a nap);
b) Shift holdovers to cover for late arrivals of incoming shift members; c) Early arrivals of workers for PGN required meetings, training, or beginning of shift briefings or pre-job briefs for special evolutions (these activities are NOT considered shift turnover activities); and d) Holdovers for interviews needed for event investigations.
e) Travel time to alternate work locations in excess of 30 minutes must be included as non-covered work time. If the total time is less than 30 minutes, inclusion is not required. If greater than 30 minutes, all time spent traveling should be counted as work hours.
f) Intervening hours between end of shift and start of call-in work or between end of call-in work and beginning of next shift if no waiver is processed for insufficient break (see 9.1.3 below).
9.1.2 Items To Be Excluded From Work Hour Calculation
- 1. Pay for hours not worked:
a) Holiday time - this may be either time away from work or at work.
If the time is at work, then only the actual hours worked are included in the work hour calculation.
b) Vacation time c) Sick leave ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 23 of 89
9.1.2 Items to be Excluded from Work Hour Calculations (continued) d) Personal leave - e.g., jury duty, rest time, family sickness e) Short term/long term disability
- 2. Unannounced emergency preparedness exercises and drills. PGN may exclude from the calculation of work hours the time associated with unscheduled work hours, above the normal scheduled work hours, for the purpose of participating in the actual conduct of an unannounced emergency preparedness exercise or drill. If a worker is on a day off, it is still considered a day off.
- 3. Commuting time to and from assigned work location.
- 4. All turnover time can be excluded from the total hours worked however only one period of turnover time per shift can be excluded for determining if the minimum break requirements are met.
- 5. Within-shift break and rest periods in which there is a reasonable opportunity and accommodations for restorative sleep (e.g., a nap) may be excluded.
- 6. The one hour time shift for daylight savings time required twice each year.
- 7. A workers work hours for unscheduled work performed off-site (e.g.,
technical assistance provided by telephone from a workers home) provided the total duration of the work, which is required by PGN, does not exceed a nominal 30 minutes. For the purposes of compliance with the minimum break requirements and the minimum day off requirements, such duties, if less than 30 minutes, do not constitute work periods or work shifts. See definition of incidental duties for more information regarding how the incidental time is accumulated for certain rules.
- 8. After hours study time not required by PGN.
- 9. Personal time spent at work.
ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 24 of 89
9.1.3 Call-In
- 1. A call-in is considered an addition to the normal work schedule. The work hours can be accounted for using three different methods depending on timing and circumstances of the call-in work period.
a) The call-in hours can be considered a separate work period.
Using this method, only the hours worked for PGN will be counted. The method requires a 10-hour break before the call in period and after the call-in period.
b) The call-in hours can be considered an extension to the preceding or succeeding work period. Using this method, the intervening hours of the extended work period must be counted.
c) A waiver can be processed for the required 10-hour break between successive work periods. If a waiver is processed for the 10-hour break, the intervening hours need not be counted.
- 2. Commuting time to and from assigned work location for call-ins is excluded from work hour calculations.
9.1.4 Work Hour Calculations
- 1. For the purposes of calculating the average number of days off, the duration of the shift cycle shall not exceed 6 weeks and may be of a shorter duration. The actual repeatability of the rotation may exceed 6 weeks; however, the shift cycle used for calculating the MDO cannot exceed 6 weeks.
- 2. If a work hour limit will be exceeded, it shall be identified before the hours are worked Use the following to ensure the individual limits are not exceeded:
- a. The periods of 24-hours, 48-hours, and 7-days are considered rolling time periods. Rolling means the period is not re-zeroed, or the clock reset following a day off, after obtaining authorization to exceed the limits or at the end of a pay period.
The 24-hours, 48-hours, and 7-days periods do not restart after a day off, the periods continue to roll.
- b. Hours worked should be evaluated to determine if any limit will be exceeded based on the work schedule by picking a future time (T) on the work schedule and asking, how many hours will have been worked during the T-24 hours, T-48 hours, or T-168 hours (T-7days) (i.e., a backwards look at the number of hours that have or will have been worked based on a time in the future.)
ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 25 of 89
9.1.4 Work Hour Calculations (continued)
- c. Determine if the MDO requirements will be met using one of the following methods:
(1) Rolling - Calculate the MDO based on a backwards look of the of T- 42 days and a forward look of T+42 days to determine if the worker has had or will have the required number of days off using the MDO rates from the table in 9.2.1.3. (42 days is used here for illustration, the period may be shorter than 42 days)
(2) Fixed - Ensure that sufficient days off still exist (within the defined shift cycle) to meet the MDO requirements.
9.1.5 Transitioning on to a Shift or Between Covered Groups or Into a Covered Group
- 1. If an outage worker begins work for PGN within 9 days of performing outage work at another nuclear plant, the worker must:
- a. Have had a 34 hour3.935185e-4 days <br />0.00944 hours <br />5.621693e-5 weeks <br />1.2937e-5 months <br /> break within the 9 days that precede the day on which the worker begins work for PGN.
- b. Not have exceeded or will not exceed the MWH rules.
- 2. If a worker begins or resumes performing covered work during the calculation period, PGN shall include all work hours worked for PGN, including hours worked performing duties that are not covered work and control the individuals work hours in accordance with the following requirements:
- a. Ensure worker meets the MWH rules
- b. Ensure worker meets the minimum break requirements
- c. A minimum of 1 day off in the preceding 7-day period for workers to begin or resume covered duties and for workers who have been working an 8-hr shift schedule, as either day or shift workers, and are transitioning (1) from a non-covered group to a covered group or (2) from a covered group to another covered group that has more stringent MDO requirements
- d. A minimum of 2 days off in the preceding 7-day period for workers who have been working a 10- or 12-hr shift schedule, as either day or shift workers, and transition (1) from a non-covered group to a covered group or (2) from a covered group to another covered group with more stringent MDO requirements ADM-NGGC-0206 Rev. 6 Page 26 of 89
9.1.5 Transitioning on to a Shift or Between Covered Groups or Into a Covered Group (continued)
- e. A minimum of 2 days off in the preceding 7-day period for operators at a multi-unit site with one or more units in an outage, if the operators have been working outage hours on 10 or 12 hr shifts before they transition to an operating unit as members of the minimum shift complement. This does not preclude short term relief of the on-line unit operators.
9.2 Covered Worker Work Hour Controls 9.2.1 On-Line Work Hour Limits
- 1. A workers work hours shall not exceed the following limits unless a waiver is issued.
a) 16 work hours in any 24-hour period (MWH16/24) b) 26 work hours in any 48-hour period (MWH26/48) c) 72 work hours in any 7-day or 168 hour0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br /> period (MWH72/168)

9.2.2 Outage Work Hour Limits
- 1. Evaluating work hours to outage rules versus on-line rules is optional.
Should a plant enter an unplanned outage, it is not necessary to reassign personnel to an outage schedule. Nor is it necessary to assign an outage schedule to personnel working on outage activities.
- 2. A workers work hours shall not exceed the following limits unless a waiver is issued.
a) 16 work hours in any 24-hour period (MWH16/24) b) 26 work hours in any 48-hour period (MWH26/48) c) 72 work hours in any 7-day or 168 hour0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br /> period (MWH72/168)

5 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS - Determined using 0PEP-02.6.28, Offsite Protective Action Recommendations. If the event is classified as a General Emergency PARs must be communicated within 15 minutes of the classification.
If using WebEOC and importing Met Data to determine Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) you must first complete Line 6, 7, and 11, then select Import Plant/MET Data. Imported Met Data for Line 9 is current data.
Met Data entered/imported on Line 9 must match Met Data used for PAR determination. Met Data on Line 9 may need to be changed to match data used for PAR determination.
- Mark Block A - NONE for Unusual Event, Alert, and Site Area Emergency classifications.
- For General Emergency, mark Block B - EVACUATE and/or Block C - SHELTER; list each of the zones for which the recommendation applies (for example: A, B, C, D, etc...)
- Mark Block D - CONSIDER THE USE OF KI (POTASSIUM IODIDE) IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE PLANS AND POLICY if distribution of KI to the general public is recommended (5 Rem CDE is the North Carolina Limit for checking this box.)
- Mark Block E - OTHER if applicable and indicate what the other recommendations are.
(Example: Areas beyond the 10 miles will be considered only on an ad-hoc basis and will be directly communicated with the offsite agencies through the ERM.)

- 3. Task standards (i.e. pass/fail criteria) for each JPM step are ITALICIZED below each step.
Read the following to the JPM performer.
TASK CONDITIONS:
Two PGN workers will be performing a coupling alignment on the Unit One RWCU Pump 1B.
Worker #1 has accumulated 1535 mrem this year.
Worker #2 has accumulated 1475 mrem this year.
The following times for each worker have been estimated for performance of the job.
- 1. Staging time in access area directly outside the RWCU room 30 minutes
- 2. Staging time in area directly inside room access door 30 minutes
- 3. Work time at the A RWCU pump 2.0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />
- 4. Following completion of the job, an additional 40 mrem per worker will be received during de-staging activities and transit back to the maintenance shop.
INITIATING CUE:
Using the information above and the provided radiological survey using best ALARA practices:
- 1. Determine the projected total accumulated dose for both workers. (Assume the same task times for both workers)
- 2. Determine if any Brunswick administrative dose limitations will be exceeded if the workers were to receive the projected dose.

PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST NOTE: Sequence is assumed unless denoted in the Comments.
NOTE: Provide the candidate the attached survey map TIME START ___________
Step 1 - Determines dose for each worker as follows:
- a. Staging time in access area directly outside the RWCU room (30 min) 0.5 Hr X 20 mr/hr = 10 mrem Estimate 10 mrem dose accumulation.
- CRITICAL STEP** SAT/UNSAT
- b. Staging time in area directly inside room access door (30 min) 0.5 Hr X 50 mr/hr = 25 mrem Estimate 25 mrem dose accumulation.
- CRITICAL STEP** SAT/UNSAT
- c. Work time at the A RWCU pump 2.0 Hrs X 250 mr/hr = 500 mrem Estimate 500 millirem dose accumulation.
- CRITICAL STEP** SAT/UNSAT LOT-ADM-JP-102-A03 Page 4 of 9 Rev.0
- d. An additional 40 mr will be accumulated once the job is done for de-staging activities.
Total = 10 + 25 + 500 + 40 = 575 mrem
- CRITICAL STEP** SAT/UNSAT Step 2 - Determines that BOTH workers would exceed the Brunswick administrative limit of 2 REM per calendar year if the estimated dose were accumulated.
Worker #1 1535 mr + 575 mr = 2110 mr (> 2R limit)
Worker #2 1475 mr + 575 mr = 2050 mr (> 2R limit)
- CRITICAL STEP** SAT/UNSAT TERMINATING CUE: When the total dose for each worker has been determined and the administrative limits addressed, the JPM is complete.
