Any personnel determined to be required to support the minimum staff activation and initiation of activities were added to the revised augmented ERO.Program Enhancements The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, dose assessment, procedures, and training which have been completed in order to better support on-shift functions and ease operator burden. Additional information regarding on-shift and augmented positions and their responsibilities as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-O1 Revision 1 are outlined in Enclosure 6.Plant Computer System At the time of the original approval of the FNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the site used a Westinghouse P2500 Plant Computer System. The operator interface consisted of a small number of printers located in the control room and computer room.In the mid-i1980s, the Westinghouse P2500 Plant Computer System was upgraded to a Gould Encore 32/67 Computer System. The design criteria for the new plant computer were based on the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1 for a Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and the upgrading of ERFs. The requirements specified for the SPDS were met or exceeded by a system of displays provided by the Gould Encore 32/67 Computer System. The parameters on the SPDS displays were provided by integrated software on the plant computer system. The system upgrade included introduction of automatic updates to plant overview and system displays on the computer monitors, consolidated safety parameter displays, and increased frequency of parameter updates.In 2006 for Unit 1 and 2007 for Unit 2, the site installed a Data Systems and Solutions (DS&S)SAIPMS Integrated Plant Computer System. The new IPC significantly improved plant monitoring capabilities in the control room as well as in the site's ERFs, by integrating other independent standalone systems.Benefits of the upgraded systems include:* Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.* Improved plant monitoring capability for ED functions.
- Fewer keystrokes required to switch between graphical displays.* Real time plant data available through graphical displays.* Functions are available to any desktop computer through the plant's site-wide intranet.Computer basic functions are supported by instrument buses with back-up power provided by vital buses.E4-16 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Joseph M.

Any personnel determined to be required to support the minimum staff activation and initiation of activities were added to the revised augmented ERO.Program Enhancements The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, dose assessment, procedures, and training which have been completed in order to better support on-shift functions and ease operator burden. Additional information regarding on-shift and augmented positions and their responsibilities as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 are outlined in Enclosure 9.Plant Computer System At the time of the original approval of the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the site used an Emergency Response Facility Computer System. The operator interface consisted of a small number of printers located in the control room and computer room.In 1986, the Emergency Response Facility Computer System was housed in the TSC. The design criteria were based on the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, for a Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and the upgrading of ERFs. The requirements were met or exceeded by a system of grouped displays of parameters from which plant safety status can be rapidly assessed, provided by Proteus software.
The system upgrade included introduction of automatic updates to plant overview and system displays on the computer monitors, consolidated safety parameter displays, and increased frequency of parameter updates.In 2008/2009, the site integrated SPDS into the plant process computer.
This significantly improved plant monitoring capabilities in the control room as well as in the site's ERFs by integrating other independent standalone systems.Benefits of the upgraded systems include:* Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.* Improved plant monitoring capability for ED functions.
- Fewer keystrokes required to switch between graphical displays.* Real time plant data available through graphical displays.* Functions are available to any desktop computer through the plant's site-wide intranet.Computer basic functions are supported by instrument buses with back-up power provided by vital buses.Dose Assessment The original HNP dose assessment software used manual entry of basic meteorological data and either manual entry of radiological data or use of internally stored source terms.

Any personnel determined to be required to support the minimum staff activation and initiation of activities were added to the revised augmented ERO.Program Enhancements The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, dose assessment, procedures, and training which have been completed in order to better support on-shift functions and ease operator burden. Additional information regarding on-shift and augmented positions and their responsibilities as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-O1 Revision 1 are outlined in Enclosure 6.Plant Computer System At the time of the original approval of the FNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the site used a Westinghouse P2500 Plant Computer System. The operator interface consisted of a small number of printers located in the control room and computer room.In the mid-i1980s, the Westinghouse P2500 Plant Computer System was upgraded to a Gould Encore 32/67 Computer System. The design criteria for the new plant computer were based on the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1 for a Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and the upgrading of ERFs. The requirements specified for the SPDS were met or exceeded by a system of displays provided by the Gould Encore 32/67 Computer System. The parameters on the SPDS displays were provided by integrated software on the plant computer system. The system upgrade included introduction of automatic updates to plant overview and system displays on the computer monitors, consolidated safety parameter displays, and increased frequency of parameter updates.In 2006 for Unit 1 and 2007 for Unit 2, the site installed a Data Systems and Solutions (DS&S)SAIPMS Integrated Plant Computer System. The new IPC significantly improved plant monitoring capabilities in the control room as well as in the site's ERFs, by integrating other independent standalone systems.Benefits of the upgraded systems include:* Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.* Improved plant monitoring capability for ED functions.
- Fewer keystrokes required to switch between graphical displays.* Real time plant data available through graphical displays.* Functions are available to any desktop computer through the plant's site-wide intranet.Computer basic functions are supported by instrument buses with back-up power provided by vital buses.E4-16 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Joseph M.
