MPS-2 FSAR 06/28/18 12.5-1 Rev. 36 12.5 PLANT PROCEDURES Station procedures are written on a unit and station services level controlling the specifics of station operations, including specifications; maintenance and modification; periodic test, inspection, calibration, and special processes, and plant and equipment.
12.5.1 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 12.5.1.1 Conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.33 Regulatory Guide 1.33, issued February 1978, Quality Assurance Program Requirements, is used as guidance for the preparation of administrative and station procedures.
12.5.1.2 Preparation of Procedures Preparation, review and approval of procedures is as described in the Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) Topical Report.
12.5.1.3 Procedures Administrative control and station procedures cover a wide range of topics. Major areas are described as follows.
Standing Orders to Operating Personnel Administrative control procedures define the authorities and responsibilities of operating personnel. The procedures specify the number of personnel with reactor operator and senior reactor operator licenses required to be on site or at the controls in all plant conditions. The administrative procedures direct the proper maintenance, review, and disposition of operating records, establish requirements for shift turnover, and establish the authority and responsibilities of the person in charge of the control room to limit access. Procedures also direct the assignment of shift personnel to duty stations, establish limits for scheduled working hours, provide methods of timely and concise feedback of operating experience to applicable plant staff, and describe methods used to verify operational activities are performed correctly. Plant procedures also provide for shift turnover such that all necessary information is properly transmitted to the oncoming shifts.
Special Orders of a Transient or Self-Cancelling Character Night orders are issued as necessary to provide guidance to operating shifts and are of a temporary nature but will be incorporated into an administrative control if the need becomes permanent.
MPS-2 FSAR 06/28/18 12.5-2 Rev. 36 Equipment Control Procedures Instructions are written to specify proper methods of obtaining clearances on plant equipment for maintenance or construction and to specify procedures for control of jumpers, inhibits, and wire removal. The clearance procedure assigns responsibility for clearance issue to the shift supervisor.
A licensed operator, after ensuring he is aware of the effect of the activity on the system, is required to authorize all maintenance, tests, and surveillances performed on plant systems. Upon completion of the item, the document is returned to the operator for acceptance or for the purpose of returning the system to service. The administrative procedures which control these evolutions provide the required explicit notification of operational personnel whenever a safety related system is removed from and returned to service. The clearance procedure also contains certain restrictions on the issuance of a clearance. The instructions for control of jumpers, inhibits, and wire removal allow temporary alterations to critical structures, systems, or components to facilitate tests, maintenance, or operations. They specify administrative procedures to be followed in performing such alterations.
Control of Maintenance and Modifications Administrative control procedures implement the review and approval requirements for maintenance and modifications. These procedures include the control of plant modifications and maintenance on safety-related equipment. These procedures establish a framework of special process and maintenance procedures.
Master Surveillance Testing Schedule An administrative control procedure establishes a master test control list, implements the surveillance test program, and assigns responsibility for review and approval of surveillance procedures in accordance with Technical Specifications. Written surveillance procedures are controlled as station or unit procedures.
Procedures for Logbook Usage and Control An administrative control procedure establishes the requirements for logbook usage and control.
Maintenance and Testing of Safety-Related Systems Procedures for maintenance and testing of safety-related systems specify that prior to the removal of a safety-related system from service, the redundant system is verified operable. For equipment that requires specific surveillance in accordance with Technical Specifications, the surveillance testing is completed prior to removing the system from service.
These procedures are reviewed and improved, if necessary, to ensure operability of safety systems prior to taking credit for the system(s) to satisfy Technical Specification requirements.
MPS-2 FSAR 06/28/18 12.5-3 Rev. 36 Special Procedures Special procedures are prepared as necessary to support infrequently performed activities which are not to be included in the permanent list of station procedures. A special procedure can be written for any type of station procedure (i.e., maintenance, operating). The form of a special procedure is the same as the applicable type of station procedure. All requirements for review, approval, revisions, and changes are the same as for permanent station procedures.
12.5.2 OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Operating and maintenance procedures are divided into several categories which are described in the following subsections. The list of these procedures is contained in the Master Document Index.
Operating and maintenance procedures preparation is the responsibility of the appropriate department head. When a procedure is written, the applicable Department Head/Manager is responsible to forward the procedure for review and approval in accordance with the QAPD Topical Report.
Plant operations are performed in accordance with written and approved Station and Department procedures.
Independent position verification of safety-related components/systems (valves, breakers, and control switches) with no indication in the control room are performed prior to the return-to-service of the component/system.
12.5.2.1 Control Room Operating Procedures 12.5.2.1.1 General Operating Procedures These procedures cover major plant evolutions. Step-by-step instructions are provided for the function or task with the appropriate cross reference to system operating procedures for details of specific system operation. Appropriate precautions and limitations are included.
12.5.2.1.2 System Operating Procedures These procedures provide step-by-step details for systems operations with appropriate prerequisites, precautions, limitations, and alarm responses. Each procedure covers the expected modes of operation of the system as well as startup, shutdown, filling and venting, and standby operation as applicable.
12.5.2.1.3 Abnormal Operating Procedures Operating procedures are prepared for abnormal operation of the unit. Abnormal operation is a condition that could degrade into an emergency or could violate Technical Specifications if proper
MPS-2 FSAR 06/28/18 12.5-4 Rev. 36 action were not taken. These procedures identify the symptoms of the abnormal condition, automatic actions that may occur, and the appropriate immediate and subsequent operator actions.
12.5.2.1.4 Emergency Operating Procedures Emergency operating procedures are prepared for conditions which might possibly lead to injury of plant personnel or the public if the release of radioactivity in excess of established limits occurs. These procedures include symptoms of the emergency conditions, automatic actions that may or should occur, and immediate and subsequent operator actions. All immediate actions are required to be memorized by the operator since the primary responsibility for detection of an emergency and initiation of corrective action rests upon the operator.
12.5.2.2 Station Procedures Station procedures are written by the chemistry, health physics, security, generation test, building services, stores, nuclear records, computer operations, station services engineering and any other station group. These procedures control the specific activities of these departments in support of unit or station operation (may be common site or unit specific). Station calibration procedures written by the maintenance or instrument departments are also station procedures.
12.5.2.2.1 Radiation Protection Procedures Radiation Protection procedures support Section 13.5 and 10 CFR 20 requirements.
12.5.2.2.2 Instrument Maintenance Instructions Instrument maintenance instructions are prepared for the performance of periodic calibration, testing, and channel checking of safety-related plant instrumentation and all instruments used to satisfy Technical Specification requirements. These instructions ensure measurement accuracies adequate to maintain plant safety parameters within operational and safety limits. In addition, instrument maintenance instructions outline the periodic calibration and accuracy requirements of test equipment necessary to support the calibration of safety-related instrumentation.
12.5.2.2.3 Chemistry Procedures Chemistry procedures are prepared covering the routine analysis and sampling methods to ensure compliance with plant chemistry and discharge limits.
12.5.2.2.4 Radioactive Waste System Procedures Procedures for operation of radwaste systems are included in system operating procedures.
