DOMINION 1-LOG-20 North Anna Power Station KEY Revision 11 Page 3 of 40 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for making entries in the ECCS Leakage Computer Program or completion of Attachment 2, ECCS Leakage Log.
The ECCS Leakage Log is a means of collecting leakage data in the ECCS recirculation path components and piping outside of Containment. The leakage during normal operation should remain within the Acceptable region of Attachment 3, Allowable ECCS Leakage, which represents the design basis leakage limit.
The leakage limit must be specified below as other procedures obtain the values from this paragraph. The Normal Operational leakage limits are described below:
(Reference 2.3.4)
Leakage Limits are as follows:
- Unfiltered Leakage limit: ~ 1,700 cc/hr
- Filtered Leakage limit: ~ 17,200 cc/hr
- Total Leakage limit:
(% of Filtered Leakage Limit +% of Unfiltered Leakage Limit) limit: ~ 100%
Filtered Leakage is defined as ECCS leakage in the Safeguards Area and the Charging Pump Cubicles. Unfiltered Leakage is defined as ECCS leakage in the Quench Spray Pumphouse or other areas of the Auxiliary Building.
admin 1b KEY
DOMINION 1-LOG-20 North Anna Power Station KEY Revision 11 Page 4 of 40 IF a leakage limit is exceeded, THEN the following Tech Specs and TRM Actions apply:
- Action B of Tech Specs 3.7.10
- Action D of Tech Spec 3.7.12 is conservatively entered on the affected Unit since the PREACS System may not be able to perform its intended function of limiting dose to the Control Room Operators. The Bases for 3.7.12 notes this one aspect of the Applicable Safety Analyses for large break LOCA. The condition of ECCS leakage limit is judged to be similar to having an inoperable boundary in terms of consequence and appropriate actions. Therefore, the above referenced Action should be entered.
- Tech Spec 5.5.16, MCRJESGR Envelope Habitability Program The Design Basis Leakage Limits (the amount of leakage that can be tolerated to maintain Control Room dose < 5 Rem TEDE) contains an NRC mandated safety factor of 2 that can be used to Justify Continued Operation of a degraded but operable PREACS as part of a pre-staged operability determination:
- Maximum Unfiltered Leakage Limit: ~ 3,400 cc/hr (if all leakage is unfiltered)
- Maximum Filtered Leakage Limit: ~ 34,400 cc/hr (if all leakage is filtered)
- Total Leakage (% of Filtered Leakage Limit +% of Unfiltered Leakage Limit)
Limit: ~ 200%
IF a Design Basis Leakage Limit is exceeded, THEN the PREACS is inoperable and an evaluation is performed to determine if a one hour report to the NRC is required.
This evaluation will consider "non-heroic" actions that can be taken to isolate the leak. An example of this would be the ability to isolate Charging Pump leakage by closing the suction and discharge MOVs and verifying the recirc MOV open from the Control Room. Another consideration would be compensatory actions in place that could be completed within 29 minutes to isolate the leakage. (Reference 2.4.2) admin 1b KEY
DOMINION 1-LOG-20 North Anna Power Station KEY Revision 11 Page 5 of 40 The following synopsis is designed as an aid to understanding this procedure and is not intended to alter or take the place of the actual purpose, instructions, or text of the procedure itself.
Ventilation exhaust from the Charging Pump Cubicles and from the Safeguards Area provide a safety-related flow path that will be aligned to the Charcoal Filter Banks. Ventilation exhaust from other areas (i.e., Quench Spray Pumphouse or other areas of the Auxiliary Building) could be released unfiltered. Therefore, the ECCS Leakage log will track Filtered Leakage (leakage within the Charging Pump Cubicles and Safeguards Area) and Unfiltered Leakage (leakage from the Quench Spray Pumphouse and areas of the Auxiliary Building outside the Charging Pump Cubicles). The ECCS Leakage log will also track Total Leakage (Filtered Leakage plus Unfiltered Leakage).
Four conditions that would require an ECCS Leakage Computer Program entry or initiation of Attachment 2, ECCS Leakage Log, for either of the two types of Areas, are new leakage, increased leakage, reduced leakage, and stopped leakage. Separate subsections are provided to address each situation. Increased leakage and reduced leakage will require two line entries; one to negate the original entry, and one to enter the new data.
Attachment I, Sample Eccs Leakage Log Entries, provides definitions, descriptions, and samples for making entries in the ECCS Leakage Computer Program or on Attachment 2, ECCS Leakage Log. Additional confirmation that leakage is within acceptable limits is obtained when leakage is plotted on Attachment 3, Allowable ECCS Leakage.

DOMINION 1-LOG-20 North Anna Power Station KEY Revision 11 Page 7 of 40 Init Verif 3.0 INITIAL CONDITIONS 3.1 Leakage identified as being from ECCS recirculation path components and piping external to Containment meets one of the following criteria:
- The leakage is New and Unrecorded Leakage that can be collected and measured.
- The leakage on an already recorded leak location has increased.
- The leakage on an already recorded leak location has been reduced.
- The leakage on an already recorded leak location has been repaired and stopped.
- A quarterly walkdown of the previously recorded leakage is scheduled.
- Tech Spec 3.7.12 (ECCS PREACS Condition B, C or D) verification and field walkdown is required to verify ECCS leakage is less than the maximum allowable unfiltered leakage.
3.2 ECCS Leakage Computer Program is available. IF the ECCS Leakage Computer Program is NOT available, THEN Attachment 2, ECCS Leakage Log, must be used.
+
4.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 4.1 Comply with the following guidelines when marking steps Nt A:
- IF the conditional requirements of a step do not require the action to be performed, THEN mark the step Nt A.
- IF any other step is marked NtA, THEN have the SRO (or designee) approve the Nt A and submit a Procedure Action Request (PAR).
4.2 IF uncertain that the leakage is from ECCS recirculation path components and piping, THEN the SRO or the ECCS (SI) Engineer should be contacted for resolution.

DOMINION 1-LOG-20 North Anna Power Station KEY Revision 11 Page 8 of 40 4.3 The existence of wetness or Boron accumulation, without a countable drip rate is NOT active leakage.
4.4 "Accident Leakage" is the leakage that could be expected if the ECCS system were in the recirculation mode following a DBA. Some sections of the systems see a greater pressure during post-LOCA time than during normal plant operations. For leaks in those areas, the number entered in the "Leakage" column must be increased by a factor that accounts for the higher pressure during ECCS recirculation. The factor is the square root of the ratio of LHSI system pressure during recirculation to normal operating pressure at the leakage point. The highest expected pressure in the LHSI system is about 160 psig. During normal operations LHSI pressure is about 30 psig, that is, RWST static head. During normal operations, the most conservative pressure seen by the seals of the charging pumps is due to lowest allowed VCT pressure and weight of water due to height. This conservatively equates to the square root of 160.8 (LHSI system pressure during recirculation) divided by 27 (lowest normal operating pressure at the suction of the Charging Pumps due to VCT pressure and weight of water due to height) which provides a conversion factor of 2.44. Only those leaks in the LHSI system from the discharge of the pumps to the LHSI containment penetrations and to the suctions of the Charging Pumps,

DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 3 OF 37 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 This procedure:
- Establishes a standard systematic approach for plant personnel involved in troubleshooting of power plant systems and equipment.
- Decreases the time needed to identify necessary actions and restore the system to operating conditions.
- Increases the probability that the complete cause of the problem will be found, so repair activities can be limited to what is actually needed.
1.2 This procedure provides guidance for a broad spectrum of conditions ranging from simple troubleshooting with a component isolated from service to complex cases that could involve multiple work groups and equipment that remains in operation with potential impact on other equipment.
- For complex troubleshooting, use the Attachment 2, Troubleshooting, along with the Attachment 4, Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/Cause Table, AND/OR Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Problem Analysis process and forms.
- Attachment 4, Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/Cause Table and Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Problem Analysis and decision making provide a more defined and documented process that is necessary on the more complex cases.
- Use of the Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Problem Analysis process is left up to the discretion of the Troubleshooting Team Lead (TTL). IF the (KT) process is employed, THEN it shall be performed by personnel trained in the (KT) process.
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The procedure scope includes:
- Power Block equipment failures/malfunctions where there is a potential impact on continued plant operation.
- Power Block equipment failures/malfunctions where previous corrective actions have NOT successfully prevented recurrence.
2.2 Actions taken to correct a specific known problem are NOT considered troubleshooting and are NOT within the scope of this procedure.
2.3 This procedure addresses the physical cause of an equipment failure/malfunction.
This procedure is NOT intended to address Human Performance issues or replace a root cause analysis required by the corrective action program. Although there is overlap between root cause and troubleshooting in determining what to fix, in general, troubleshooting is the process applied to determine What to fix and the corrective action program is used to determine Why it failed.
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 4 OF 37 3.0 INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 General NOTE: Particular attention is required when troubleshooting has the potential to impact design function of any structures, systems, or components that are being relied upon to support plant operation or achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
3.1.1 During each step of systematic approach to troubleshooting, CONSIDER whether it is still acceptable to continue system or plant operations based on significance of deficient condition.
3.1.2 During development of trouble shooting plans, REVIEW WM-AA-301 for operational risk assessment. (Ref. 5.4.12)
NOTE: Subsections 3.2 and 3.3 are typically performed by the Operating crew and those first responding to the concern. After the Troubleshooting Team (TT) has been formed, the TT should ensure Subsections 3.2 and 3.3 satisfactorily completed.
NOTE: The Operating crew and shift personnel may have already completed Subsection 3.2 prior to a Troubleshooting Team Lead (TTL) or a TT. Therefore, the TTL or TT may confirm Subsection 3.2 completion with the Operating crew and go to Subsection 3.3.
3.2 Problem Identification Initiator 3.2.1 CONSIDER the following examples of information during troubleshooting activities, and DOCUMENT initial conditions for use by the Troubleshooting Team (TT) in the WR/CR/WO, as appropriate:
- Evidence or data preserved during the course of the investigation
- Videotape or photographs of the scene as appropriate
- Frame of reference for photographic evidence (ruler, etc.)
- Identifying labels in photographic evidence
- Labeled component saved for future analysis and reference
- Sketches including scale when possible
- Initial and final condition and location/state of all items found
- Conditions in the environment such as spray, heat, direct sunlight or unusual odors
- Out of ordinary conditions
- Description of equipment condition when found including unusual or unexpected conditions of equipment as well as surrounding equipment and area INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 5 OF 37 3.2.2 CONTROL the area (i.e., isolate or quarantine area, if possible).
3.2.3 IDENTIFY unusual or unexpected conditions of equipment as well as surrounding equipment and area.
3.2.4 MAINTAIN parts in the area until location, orientation and condition are noted.
3.3 Initial Problem Statement NOTE: It is NOT appropriate at this stage to speculate about the source of the problem or offer corrective actions. Experience suggests that defining the problem is the most important step in the process. Problem definition is essential for implementing the troubleshooting process in an efficient manner, following a structured approach, and finding the right solution to the problem the first time. A preliminary evaluation must be performed to gain a clear understanding of the issues. The problem statement is to address: who, what, when, where and NOT why.
NOTE: Plant Manager will assign the Troubleshooting Team Lead (TTL) on a I-High Risk troubleshooting team. The Maintenance Manager will assign the TTL for a II-Medium Risk troubleshooting team.
NOTE: In most cases, the technical or maintenance expert should NOT serve as the TTL. Such experts should be allowed to apply full attention to plan development and implementation rather than be distracted by coordination details and administrative responsibilities.
NOTE: For the large majority of troubleshooting, which involves simple, non-complex problems, the TTL is the Maintenance First Line Supervisor in charge of the task.
NOTE: For simple troubleshooting the WR/CR/WO may suffice as the initial problem statement.
The scope of the troubleshooting activity may pose a high risk to plant operation. The more risk significant the troubleshooting, the more rigorous the controls applied.
3.3.1 DOCUMENT the WR/CR/WO, system, component ID, operating conditions, initial problem statement and the initial Risk Number and Rigor Category on Attachment 2, Troubleshooting Sheet.
3.3.2 ASSIGN a Troubleshooting Team Lead (TTL) for both simple or complex troubleshooting activities and document the name on Attachment 2, Troubleshooting. DETERMINE if a multi-disciplined troubleshooting team needs to be formed. In most cases the troubleshooting may still be led by Maintenance with support from Engineering or other work groups.
Troubleshooting Team Lead 3.3.3 DEFINE clearly the problem before proceeding with troubleshooting.
(TTL) Understand the scope and nature of the issue, identify the severity of the problem, and establish to what extent the problem has been observed in the plant or system.
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 6 OF 37 3.3.4 DEVELOP a problem statement that is technically correct and detailed as possible. A face-to-face interview with the personnel communicating the performance issue, especially operators, should be performed.
EXAMPLE: Good: On 6/6/98 at 1500 while in Mode 1, Containment Isolation Valve (V-216), located in the Unit 2 penetration room, failed its IST stroke test by 1 second, during a preplanned surveillance. Its design basis closing stroke time is 10 seconds and its tested stroke time was 11 seconds. Failure of the valve to perform its function puts the station in a 72-hour LCO.
Bad: Containment Isolation Valve broke/fix.
TTL 3.3.5 LIST employees who identified or are knowledgeable of the problem on Troubleshooting Sheet (Attachment 2).
3.4 Determine Level of Support NOTE: Complex troubleshooting requires gathering data for extensive engineering analysis, or may significantly affect production/safety risk margins. Step 3.4.2 provides questions that should be used to aid in determining the need for a complex troubleshooting plan.
TTL 3.4.1 DETERMINE if a complex troubleshooting plan is needed to perform the troubleshooting activity and DOCUMENT on the Troubleshooting Sheet (Attachment 2).
3.4.2 IF any of the following questions are answered YES, THEN complex troubleshooting is required or may be deemed complex troubleshooting at management discretion.
- DOES activity require involvement from more than two groups/disciplines?
- WILL the activity require numerous attempts in order to resolve?
- WILL the same component require multiple condition reports in order to resolve the same/similar issue?
- DOES the activity pose a potential operational risk?
- DOES the activity of sufficient complexity require specialized personnel (i.e. vendors, corporate engineering,...)?
- DOES troubleshooting deem complex troubleshooting at management discretion?
3.4.3 IF troubleshooting has been identified as Complex Troubleshooting, THEN OBTAIN manager level approval of the problem statement.
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 7 OF 37 NOTE: A troubleshooting team shall be used for:
- Solving higher risk or complex troubleshooting problems.
- Troubleshooting activities which pose significant challenges to the plant such as short duration LCOs that would result in a unit shutdown.
- Any event which threatens the on-line status of a unit.
- Other significant equipment problems as requested by Engineering, Maintenance, or Operations Managers.
The troubleshooting team can vary from a worker and supervisor (with Outage and Planning support) to a multi-department team, depending on complexity of problem. For the large majority of troubleshooting, which involves simple, non-complex problems, the TTL is the Maintenance First Line Supervisor in charge of the task.
It is recommended that members be assigned from Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations at a minimum. Other groups may be assigned as required for the task.
3.4.4 IF a troubleshooting team needs to be formed, THEN PERFORM the following to form the team:
Operations or a. ENSURE the troubleshooting team's composition includes individuals Maintenance trained and experienced in troubleshooting techniques (e.g., KT problem Manager analysis process, failure mode/cause analysis)
NOTE: The technical lead will normally be the system engineer, component engineer, program engineer, or subject matter expert from maintenance. The TTL should NOT be the technical lead.
- b. IF applicable, THEN ESTABLISH a technical lead.
TTL c. IF the plant challenge is an immediate attention item requiring around the clock work, THEN IDENTIFY relief personnel to support coverage.
- d. CONSIDER involving resources from Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, other stations, Corporate Engineering, Vendors, O&P, etc.,
as required.
- e. DOCUMENT the troubleshooting team composition on Troubleshooting Sheet (Attachment 2).
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 8 OF 37 3.5 Acquire Information CAUTION: Care should be taken when acquiring information to ensure that evidence is not destroyed in the process. The need to quarantine equipment should be considered per OP-AA-1300, Quarantine.
NOTE: To the extent practical, acquiring information should precede any hands on troubleshooting.
TT 3.5.1 COLLECT information pertinent to the problem. REFER to Data Gathering Sheet (Attachment 3) for examples of data from internal sources and external sources.
3.5.2 IF desired, THEN CREATE a timeline of the data associated with the failure and VALIDATE information obtained (e.g., second hand, how obtained, etc.).
3.6 Determine Potential Failures and Develop Actions to Confirm True Cause NOTE: Troubleshooting involves use of a systematic approach to find the cause of a problem. The KT Problem Analysis and Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/Cause Table (Attachment
- 4) are tools used with the goal of getting to problem resolution in the quickest and easiest fashion based on the training and experience of the personnel involved. If employing the use of KT Problem Analysis, then Attachment 4, Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/
Cause Table of this procedure is NOT required, however both may be used at the discretion of the TTL.
TT 3.6.1 IF NOT complex troubleshooting, THEN GO TO to Section 3.7 3.6.2 IF employing the use of the KT Problem Analysis, THEN proceed to Step 3.6.11.
3.6.3 IF performing Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/Cause Table (Attachment 4), THEN DETERMINE ALL possible failure modes and ANALYZE for probable causes.
3.6.4 .LIST on Attachment 4, possible failure modes using appropriate terminology when referring to structures, systems, or components.
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 9 OF 37 NOTE: The team should understand the design and operation of the system/components prior to listing possible failure modes. Correct terminology should be used when referring to structures, systems, or components (Slang terms, abbreviations, and acronyms can be used if defined in the document).
3.6.5 REFER to Complex Troubleshooting Failure Mode/Cause Table Example (Attachment 5) for an example.
3.6.6 RECORD problem statement in top box of failure mode tree (Attachment 4) and OBTAIN approval from the cognizant manager. (Ref. 5.4.12) 3.6.7 LIST possible failure modes in failure mode tree (Attachment 4).
3.6.8 REVIEW available information to determine if any failure modes can be eliminated.
3.6.9 IF any failure modes can be eliminated, THEN DOCUMENT the reasons on the failure mode tree (Attachment 4).
3.6.10 DEVELOP a failure mode/cause table (Attachment 4) for each remaining failure mode as follows:
- a. GENERATE a list of possible causes.
- b. DEVELOP action steps necessary to validate the cause.
3.6.11 IF using KT Problem Analysis Process, THEN perform the following:
- a. ENSURE personnel leading the KT Problem Analysis have received training in the process.
- c. Once actions to confirm true cause have been developed, attach a copy of the KT Problem Analysis form to Attachment 2, Troubleshooting Sheet, Page 1.
INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 10 OF 37 3.7 Develop Troubleshooting Plan NOTE: Since troubleshooting plans may require that systems or component remain energized to fully determine the problem, particular attention is required to determine the impact of the troubleshooting on the rest of the plant. Actions necessary to minimize impact on the plant need to be determined to prevent creating an undesired or unanalyzed equipment configuration.
These actions could be as simple as closing a valve to prevent undesired flow changes, placing a component in bypass, or complying with Technical Specification LCOs. The actions could be considerably more complex requiring review of minimum required inputs to a trip channel, identifying interlocks with other components, or assuring that design functions described in the UFSAR are not compromised.
NOTE: Each troubleshooting plan will be different, based on the type of system, the severity of the observed problem, the failure modes identified, and the potential effects of the failure modes on system performance. Level of plan detail and associated approval authority is dependent on risk, the rigor of the troubleshooting activities, and the significance of the failure. Operational risk is assessed in accordance with WM-AA-301, Operational Risk Assessment.
NOTE: Design functions of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) being relied on to support plant operation or achieve and maintain safe shutdown could be adversely impacted by the troubleshooting activity.
3.7.1 DETERMINE if any alterations (i.e. Temp Mod) made during the troubleshooting process or installation of monitoring (M&TE) equipment require additional reviews (i.e. Modification, 50.59 Applicability Review, etc.).
3.7.2 DETERMINE if detailed work instructions already exist for troubleshooting activity in procedures or work order.
3.7.3 IF detailed work instructions are needed, THEN PERFORM the following:
- a. ENSURE there is adequate instructions and precautions taken when the activity is performed to minimize the risk to the reliability to the plant.
- b. Based on the level of detail needed to perform the desired troubleshooting activity, INCLUDE detailed work instructions in Troubleshooting Sheet (Attachment 2), page 2.

DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 12 OF 37 3.8 Develop Instructions NOTE: Detailed work instructions may not require a complex troubleshooting plan.
Detailed work instructions are required for activities that pose a specific level of risk to the plant due to the system being worked on and the type of activity. Consider the potential for impact on the design functions of SSCs being relied upon to support plant operations or the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
If detailed specific instructions are required, develop work instructions based on known evidence with guidance from plant engineer, vendor, or other technical experts as appropriate.
NOTE: The very nature of equipment failures creates the possibility that design logic is no longer valid. Consideration should be given to new or unanticipated design logic that could have been created by the failure.
NOTE: Attachment 2, page 1, is a troubleshooting sheet cover page. If the troubleshooting activity results in the necessity for more than one troubleshooting task, then page 1 may be copied and the risk and rigor determination may be revised as applicable for each task.

INFORMATION USE
DOMINION MA-AA-103 REVISION 9 PAGE 20 OF 37 5.3.4 Simple Troubleshooting This category of troubleshooting is the most common and should constitute a large fraction of all plant troubleshooting activities. It will normally be led by a Maintenance First Line Supervisor and Maintenance workers.
A troubleshooting plan that requires discovery of information prior to the development of the next step does not constitute a requirement for transition from simple to a complex troubleshooting plan. Simple troubleshooting may address several failure modes or activities due to the type and quantity of information that needs to be obtained to narrow the troubleshooting scope.
5.3.5 Technical Lead (TL)
Individual most knowledgeable or qualified to perform or assist in performance of troubleshooting. The technical lead will normally be the system engineer, component engineer, program engineer, or subject matter expert from maintenance. The TTL should not be the technical lead.
5.3.6 Troubleshooting Team (TT)
Typically a multi-discipline group consisting of personnel from Maintenance, Site Engineering, Design Engineering, and Operations assembled to solve a higher risk or complex troubleshooting problem. A team may also be formed for significant challenges such as a short-duration LCO when initial troubleshooting activities were unsuccessful or at managements discretion.
The size and makeup of the team will be driven by the needs of the station and business decisions of station management.
5.3.7 Troubleshooting Team Lead (TTL)
Individual responsible for overall condition of the troubleshooting activities and communication to the management team. For lower risk activities, the individual is the first-line supervisor. For higher risk activities where a troubleshooting team is assembled, the individual is an engineering supervisor or a maintenance second line supervisor.

Risk and Rigor Determination Matrix Purpose provides an additional tool to measure risk and rigor impact during specific troubleshooting activities and is intended for use during plan development. The information contained in Attachment 1 is based on industry experience and is intended to provide a mental model for the TTL during action step development. This attachment is not designed to replace or alter any risk assessment through PRA. The TTL can use this reference to provide a level of risk and rigor to support minimizing the impact to plant systems and equipment.
Notes
- 1. These are strictly guidelines and cannot capture every troubleshooting activity. The TTL and team will have to exercise judgment to ensure a conservative decision is made during the troubleshooting approval.
- 2. It is acceptable to invoke a different level of rigor based on the plant conditions and other factors.
- 3. Particular attention is required when the troubleshooting has the potential to impact the design function and/or operational status of any structures, systems, or components that are being relied upon to support plant operation or achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
Steps for use of Attachment 1:
- 1. Review troubleshooting scope against guidelines on page 2 to determine troubleshooting risk level.
- 2. Review activity matrix on page 3 to determine the rigor category if the troubleshooting steps fall within examples provided or similar actions.
- 3. If applicable, utilize the category list on page 4 to include the level of rigor in the plan details and involvement of the personnel to minimize the risk to plant systems and personnel.

Risk and Rigor Determination Matrix based on power level given in JPM Guidelines for Level of RISK Determination this would be high risk; lower power I. HIGH RISK: level would lower risk; see JPM note Equipment is not removed from service. Presents a risk of tripping the plant, actuating a safety system, causing a significant reactivity change, or possible radiation release, either directly or as a result of causing a major plant transient.
II. MEDIUM RISK:
Equipment is not removed from service. Could result in an undesirable plant transient, affect reactivity, or a reportable event, but not a reactor trip or safety system activation.
III. LOW RISK:
Equipment is not removed from service. Could have an affect on plant equipment, but should not present a risk of causing an undesirable plant transient, reactivity change, or reportable event. No unusual personnel safety risk.
IV. NO RISK:
Equipment is removed from service. Troubleshooting activities do not affect the operation or safety of the plant.
EXAMPLE: Removing an instrument loop from service in a high-Risk classification was classified as a Category A activity. Once the loop is out of service and the device is in the shop, it can be moved to a lower risk classification. At this time the changes to the plan affecting the shop activity could be performed IAW the lesser requirements of the above table.

Risk and Rigor Determination Matrix Guidelines for Level of RIGOR Determination Category A (Highest degree of rigor; tightest controls)
- 1. Requires a troubleshooting plan with careful attention to risks to plant personnel and plant operation.
The troubleshooting plan may be simple or complex depending on the complexity of the issue.
- 2. Determine the level of plant management (point of contact) that will be required to approve plan changes.
- 3. If unexpected results are noted during the process of troubleshooting, notify point of contact and determine if the original plan is acceptable or should the plan be revised.
- 4. If the troubleshooting results in expanded scope of equipment that was not previously considered, the plan requires revision and re-approval through the point of contact. (i.e., The problem was not the transmitter but is suspected to be a multiple end device power supply).
- 5. SRO/management observer recommended being present during troubleshooting activities.
- 6. Control Room briefing is required.
- 7. Determine communication requirement with site leadership.
Category B
- 1. Same as A1.
- 2. Same as A2.
- 3. Same as A4.
- 4. Same as A5.
- 5. Same as A6.
