In order to maintain unescorted access to the site protected areas and the radiation and/or contaminated areas, personnel are required to complete the appropriate requalification program for GET and FFD and RWT.

The frequency of retraining for GET and RWT is determined by following the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) based training process. Retraining for FFD is required on an

annual basis.

Program/course plans for GET, RWT and FFD are maintained with their associated

training program documents.

13.2.4 Fire Brigade Training Program

Fire Brigade training is described in Section 9.5 and the Nuclear Training Manual.

13.2-2 HCGS-UFSAR Revision 22 May 9, 2017

13.3 EMERGENCY PLANNING The Emergency Plan Manuals as revised describe the PSEG Nuclear LLC Emergency Preparedness Program. These manuals have been submitted as separate documents and provide a complete description of the emergency response for the Hope Creek and Salem Stations. 13.3-1 HCGS-UFSAR Revision 12 May 3, 2002 13.4 REVIEW AND AUDIT The independent review and audit functions are performed by the Plant Operations Review Cornmi ttee ( PORC), the Nuclear Oversight (NOS) organization, and the Nuclear Safety Review Board (NSRB). See the Salem and Hope Creek Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR) for additional details. 13.4-1 HCGS-UFSAR Revision 16 May 15, 2008 13.5 PLANT PROCEDURES Plant procedures are prepared by the plant staff, support organizations or contract organizations for applicable activities delineated in the Technical Specifications, Chapter 16, Section 6.8, at a minimum, and provide the controls

necessary to comply with applicable Regulatory Guides as listed in Section 1.8 for Hope Creek and Appendix 3A for Salem. Procedures are prepared using a

and style guidance.

A technical review and control process utilizing qualified reviewers functions to perform periodic or routine review of procedures. When periodic review is used as the assessment method, these controls will establish a schedule for review. Processing of Procedures and T&RMS, (AD-AA-101) and Writers Guide And Process Guide For Procedures and T&RMS, (AD

-AA-101-1002) describe the review and approval process for procedures. Procedure changes that require a 10CFR50.59 evaluation are reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC). Procedures are periodically reviewed and revised when changes are necessary or desirable. Similarly, procedures are reviewed and revised when necessary following the completion of system design changes or equipment modifications.

Subsequent to an unexpected plant transient, significant operator error, etc., the appropriate procedure(s) receive a review. The purpose of this review is to ascertain whether the procedure may have contributed to the cause of the

condition or was adequate in its capacity to mitigate the consequences.

Routine procedures provide the fundamental written guidance for routinely managing, operating and maintaining the plant. Routine plant procedures are assessed by users before and during use to determine if changes are necessary or desirable. Routine procedures receive an appropriate degree of scrutiny by individuals knowledgeable in the procedures, and are updated as necessary to ensure adequacy during suitably controlled activities such as normal pro cedure usage, development of plant modifications, industry experience reviews, licensing actions, training activities, corrective actions for nonconforming

conditions, and quality assurance audits and surveillances.

Non-routine procedures are those procedures whose use is event-driven, such as Emergency Operating Procedures, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, Abnormal Procedures, and Alarm Response Procedures; these procedures will be reviewed every two years. However, if a non

-routine procedure is fully exercised and there is a detailed scrutiny of the entire procedure as part of a documented training program, this may serve as the biennial review of the procedure.

Removal of the TS and information is approved by the NRC through individual TS amendments. The TRM is intended to provide operational guidance and requirements for various plant conditions, actions, and testing similar to TS, however, these requirements are in accordance with licensing commitments. These changes add the TRM into the scope of procedures to be processed through the Station Qualified Reviewer (SQR) process and reviewed by PORC. Future changes to the relocated requirements and supporting information are processed in accordance with the Quality Assurance Topical Report (QATR), and are subject to 10CFR50.59 review. All non-editorial changes are reviewed by PORC. The TRM is comprised of an index, the individual specification and bases. The manual is intended to provide a single location for the relocated TS items as a convenience for operations and other station personnel. The individual sections of the TRM contain the relocated licensing commitments, which are subject to the provisions of 10CFR50.59 described above, and are controlled in accordance with the applicable established procedure process. 13.5-7 HCGS-UFSAR Revision 16 May 15, 2008 TP. ...
