Many'of the operator actions provided in a procedure imply continuous performance throughout the remainder of the procedure. This intent is conveyed by the use of appropriate action verbs such as monitor, maintain, or control.
5.3 Writin the Procedure 5.3.1 Pur ose and S tom The first section shall be titled PURPOSE and should briefly describe what the procedure is intended to do. The second section is a summary of those conditions which require entry into the procedure. This section shall be titled SYMPTOMS OR ENTRY CONDITIONS. For procedures that are entry ORPs, a symptom summary is sufficient. For other procedures, which can only be entered by transition from previous procedures, a summary of the entry conditions should be provided.
5.3.2 0 rator Actions Steps directing operator action should be written in short and precise language. The statement should present exactly the task which the operator is to perform. The equipment to be operated should be specifically identified, and only those plant parameters should be specified which are presented by instrumentation available in the control room. It is not necessary to state expected results of routine tasks.

All steps are assumed to be performed in sequence unless stated otherwise in a preceding NOTE. To keep the individual steps limited to a single action, or a small number of related actions, any complex evolution should be broken down into composite parts.
- 3. Actions required in a particular step, should not be expected to be corn lete before the next step is begun. If assigned tasks are short, t en the expected action should be completed prior to continuing, however, if an assigned task is very lengthy.
additional steps may be performed prior to completion. If a particular task must be com leted prior to continuation, this condition must be state c ear in that step or substep.
Refer to Enclosure 1 as an example of the format for presenting operator actions in the following steps.
- 5. The left-hand column of the two-column format shall be used for operator instruction steps and expected responses. The following rules of construction apply:
- a. High Level Action steps should begin with an appropriate verb, or verb modifier.
- b. Expected responses to operator actions are shown in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
- c. If a step requires multiple substeps, then each substep should have its own expected response.

- a. Contingency actions should identify directions to override automatic controls and to initiate manually what is norm"ally initiated automatically.
- b. Contingency actions should be numbered consistently with the expected response/action for substeps only. A contingency for a single-task high-level step will not be separately numbered but will appear on the same line as its related step.

AND calls attention to combinations of conditions and shall be placed between each condition. Ifmore than two conditions are to be combined, a list format is preferred.
- 7. OR implies alternative combinations or conditions. OR means either one, or the other, or both (inclusive).
IF ... NOT or IF ... can NOT should be used when an operator must respond to the seconnno'two possible conditions. IF should always be used to specify the first condition. (The right-hand column of the two-column format contains an implicit IF NOT.)

Multiple statements included under a single heading shall be separately identified by noting them with bullets (o).
CAUTION When SI actuates, plant conditions exist which require actions not covered in this procedure. Therefore, a transition to E-O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, should be made.
~ The foldout page provides a list of important items that should be continuously monitored. If any of the parameters exceed their limits, the appropriate operations should be initiated.
- 3. CAUTION denotes some potential hazard to personnel or equipment associated with the following instructional step.
NOTE is used to present advisory or administrative information necessary to support the following action instruction. A CAUTION or NOTE may also be used to provide a contingent transition based on changes in plant conditions.
- 4. As a general rule, neither a CAUTION or a NOTE shall contain an instruction/operator action; however, reference may be made to expected actions in progress.
- 5. CAUTIONs precede NOTEs when they occur together unless the NOTE contains information which clarifies the CAUTION.
5.3.5 Transitions to Other Procedures or Ste s

Standard abbreviations which may be used throughout the procedures are listed alphabetically ia Administrative Procedure 0103.37, Standard Acronyms, and Abbreviations. Where similar components are used in both primary and secondary systems, it is always necessary to clarify the location, even ifthe wording appears redundant.
EXAMPLE PRZR PORV vs. SG Steam Dump to Atmosphere identifies the pressurizer power operated relief valve as distinct from a steam generator power operated rehef valve.
5.3.7 Level of Detail To allow an operator to eAiciently execute the action steps in a procedure, all unnecessary detail must be removed. Any information which an operator is re uired to know (based on his training and experience) shou not e inc uded. Many actuation devices (switches) in the control room are similar, even though the remotely performed functions are not, so certain action verbs listed he're are recommended.

- a. Use "start/stop" for power-driven rotating equipment.
- b. Use "open/close/throttle" for valves.
- c. Use "control" to describe a manually maintained process variable (flow, level, temperature, presure).
- d. Use "trip/close" for electrical breakers.
e, Use "place in standby" to refer to equipment when actuation is to be controlled by available (e.g., not reset or blocked) automatic logic circuitry.

Words used in the procedures should convey precise meaning to the trained operator, Simple words having few syllables are preferred. These are typical of words in common usage.
- 2. Verbs with specific meaning should be used. The verb should exactly define the task expected to be performed by the operator. A list of frequently used verbs is included as Enclosure 3, Action Verbs.
- 3. Some words have unique meanings as listed below:
- a. Manual (manually) - an action performed by the operator in the control room. (The word is used in contrast to an automatic action, which takes place without operator intervention.)
- b. Local (locally) - an action performed by an operator outside the control room.
EXAMPLE "Locally close valve" means directly turning a handwheel to close a valve.
4 Certain other words are to be avoided simply because they are not defined when used without modification'. These include:
approximately, rapidly and slowly. The same words become acceptable when some clarification is provided; clarification is provided; clarification normally is part of a lower-level substep.
