SECTION 13 Revision 26 USAR 13.1MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 1 of 1SECTION 13PLANT OPERATIONS I/kab13.1Summary DescriptionXcel Energy and Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation have experienced plant personnel that are qualified to perform plant operations and plant maintenance that are necessary for safe operation of the plant.Training programs are scheduled and implemented to maintain sufficient licensedoperators and a competent supporting technical staff. Plant activities are conducted in accordance with Quality Assurance, Emergency, and Security Plans and written procedures implemented in response to regulatory requirements.
Inspection and testing are conducted in accordance with a program which meets
regulatory requirements.01197746
Revision 26 USAR 13.3MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 1 of 1SECTION 13PLANT OPERATIONS I/kab13.3Personnel Experience and Training13.3.1Experience of Initial Plant Supervisory Personnel Senior Operator licensed personnel from the Pathfinder Nuclear Plant organization were assigned to supervisory positions for the Monticello plant
during initial plant operation. All participated in the pre-operational testing, fuel
loading, startup testing and operation of the Pathfinder plant.13.3.2Experience and Training of Plant and Site StaffMinimum qualifications and training requirements for plant staff (i.e., operating
personnel) are contained in training programs approved by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. An NRC approved training program is one that is based on the systems approach to training (SAT) and has been accredited by the National Nuclear Accrediting Board (NNAB) (Reference 13 and Reference14).Each member of the plant and site staff SHALL meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI N18.1-1971 (Reference 25) for comparable positions.Exceptions to these standards are documented in the Technical Specifications.Training enhancements required by NUREG-0737, item I.A.2.1.4, are in place as well as training in mitigating core damage required by Item II.B.4.1 (Reference 2).13.3.3Personnel Behavior The "Fitness for Duty Program" applies to all nuclear generation personnel, including all badged contract workers and craft union personnel hired by XcelEnergy, NSPM, or its contractors. It recognizes that fatigue, stress, illness and temporary physical impairments, as well as drug and alcohol abuse, can have a negative effect on a worker's fitness and jeopardize safe operations.
All personnel badged for unescorted access to the plant are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, and are trained to be observant of co-worker or visitor behavior that may indicate a fitness for duty concern. Supervisors are trained to be observant of employee behavior that might indicate excessive fatigue or
unhealthy behavior patterns and to bar employees from working if they appear unfit for duty. The NSPM Fitness for Duty program meets all of the requirements of 10CFR26 (see Reference 24).0119774601197746 SECTION 1313.413.4.1

These records include:a.Startup test procedures. This is the final, as run, test procedure, including approvals and data sheets.b.Pertinent recorder charts and log sheets.c.Test reports - This includes any reports prepared by NSP, GE or Bechtel.13.5.2Routine Operation Operating, maintenance and testing records and logs are kept on file inaccordance with the Technical Specifications, Federal Regulations and NSP policy.13.5.3Abnormal Operation In the event of any unusual, unexplained, or potentially unsafe occurrence, appropriate members of the plant staff will be assigned to conduct an
investigation and prepare a report. Instructions for conducting investigation and
the report format are outlined in plant administrative procedures. A complete file
of investigation reports is maintained.13.5.4Reporting RequirementsReports will be submitted to the Commission to satisfy the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and the Monticello Technical Specifications.13.5.5Radiographs Microfilmed Radiographs of piping system welds meet the requirements of
ASME Section III, Paragraph NCA-4134.17, Quality Assurance Records (Reference 46) and ASME Section XI, Paragraph 1WA-6320, Reproduction andMicrofilming (Reference 47 and 15).FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTP Assoc Ref:

Revision 22 USAR 13.7MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT Page 1 of 1SECTION 13PLANT OPERATIONS I/jmr13.7Emergency Procedures Monticello Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs) have been developed to satisfy the guidance
contained in:Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 (Reference 58)Section 5 of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Report 91-04, Revision 1(Reference 59)
Revisions to the EOPs and SAMGs are processed in accordance with the guidance provided in the NRCs April 17, 1990 Safety Evaluation Report(Reference 21) regarding the Monticello Procedures Generation Packagesubmitted in response to Generic Letter 82-33 (Reference 49).The Monticello EOPs allow operators to take actions immediately. Early operator actions taken in accordance with the EOPs enhance the ability to mitigate the consequences of events. Should the operator not take actions immediately, the
plant will remain within the margins established by the design basis analysis because the automatic plant systems will still respond as designed.FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTP Assoc Ref:
