13.0 CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS 13.1 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC AND GAS COMPANY RN NOTE 13.1.1 99-103 Section 13.1.1 is being retained for historical purposes only.

13.1.1 CORPORATE ORGANIZATION This section describes the structure and qualifications of the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) corporate organization and the corporate organizations of the principal contractors: Gilbert/Commonwealth (Gilbert), Westinghouse Electric Corporation (Westinghouse), and Daniel International Corporation (Daniel).

13.1.1.1 Corporate Functions, Responsibilities and Authorities SCE&G owns and operates an integrated electric generation, transmission, and distribution system which serves approximately 304,000 customers in a 12,000 square mile service area. This area, stretching from the central region to the coastal plains, includes Columbia, the State capitol, and Charleston, South Carolinas principal seaport. SCE&Gs transmission system is part of the interconnected grid extending over a large part of the central and eastern portion of the nation.

SCE&Gs net generating capacity as of August, 1983, was in excess of 3,950,000 kW.

The South Carolina Public Service Authority (SCPSA) by joint ownership of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, owns one-third interest (300 MW) in the facility.

SCE&G, acting as its own general contractor, has constructed generating facilities which provide most of their present generating capacity. For the construction of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, SCE&G has engaged qualified contractors to construct the facility. SCE&G acted as construction manager.

SCE&G is a partner with Carolina Power and Light Company, Duke Power Company, and Virginia Electric and Power Company in Carolinas Virginia Nuclear Power Associates, Inc. (CVNPA). CVNPA was formed in 1956 to build and operate a 17,000 kWe nuclear steam generating plant at Parr, S. C., for research, operating, and engineering experience. The Carolinas Virginia Tube Reactor (CVTR), was constructed and operated under license granted by the Atomic Energy Commission. The CVTR was decommissioned in 1967 after completion of a successful operating and research program. SCE&G actively participated in the CVTR project at the planning, management, training, research, technical, and operational levels.

SCE&G has maintained active participation in the fast breeder programs of both Westinghouse and Atomics International. SCE&G also participated in the Savannah 13.1-1 Reformatted May 2018

River Nuclear Study Group which examined the feasibility of developing power from a production reactor.

SCE&G was the sole applicant for the construction permit and operating license for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. As Applicant, SCE&G was responsible for the design, construction, quality assurance, and operation of this station. Figures 13.1-1 and 13.1-2 together show the SCE&G corporate organizational structure from the Board of Directors to the managerial level at the plant site. Figure 13.1-2 includes the organizational interfaces with the outside consultants and contractors; Gilbert, Westinghouse, and Daniel. Figure 13.1-3, exclusive of outside constraints, shows the SCE&G post commercial organizational operation.

Gilbert was retained by SCE&G as architect engineer for the entire project, including plant layouts and system arrangements, and design of balance of plant equipment.

Engineering efforts by Gilbert were coordinated with construction by the SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department.

SCE&G has contracted with Westinghouse for the design and manufacture of the complete nuclear steam supply system (NSSS). In addition, Westinghouse provided technical consultation in areas such as construction, initial fuel loading, testing, and initial startup. Westinghouse was also involved in the training of SCE&G operating personnel.

Daniel was under contract by SCE&G to act as general constructor for the Virgil C.

Summer Nuclear Station construction activities.

13.1.1.2 In-House Pre-Commercial Organization This section, which is historical in nature, describes the pre-commercial SCE&G corporate management, including technical support staffing and in-house organizational relationships, established for design, procurement, construction, and quality assurance functions. The responsibilities and authorities of in-house personnel are included. In addition, specific responsibilities and activities are included in order to show the accomplishments and plans for work in certain areas.

13.1-3 Reformatted May 2018

13.1.1.2.2 Specific Responsibilities and Activities Specific responsibilities and activities in which SCE&G was engaged included:

1. Design and Construction Activities (Project Phase)

The SCE&G Nuclear Engineering function within the Nuclear Engineering and Licensing Department had the responsibility for the design and engineering of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station during the design and construction phase of the project. The Nuclear Engineering Group was responsible for coordinating and approving plant design and engineering, and geological, hydrological and seismological studies related to the plant design and environmental effects.

Westinghouse was responsible to SCE&G for the design, engineering, procurement, and fabrication, including quality assurance, of the NSSS.

Gilbert had the responsibility for the overall design and engineering of the balance of the plant systems (nuclear and non-nuclear not within the NSSS scope of supply) and the coordination of all plant design and engineering activities. Gilbert design documents were submitted to the SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department for review and approval. Westinghouse engineering drawings, specifications, and related design and engineering documents were submitted to Gilbert and SCE&G for review, comment and interface information.

The final decision for procurement of materials and equipment, except those under the Westinghouse NSSS scope of supply, was made by the SCE&G purchasing committee. The vendor proposals were received by Gilbert and SCE&G and were evaluated for compliance by engineering, quality assurance, and purchasing for acceptable responses to the specification requirements in accordance with approved Gilbert and SCE&G evaluation and purchasing procedures. The SCE&G quality assurance group had to concur with the purchasing committees decision of the selected vendor for safety-related purchases.

Site layout with respect to environmental effects and development of Safety Analysis Reports was done by Gilbert through coordination of the efforts of Westinghouse, Dames and Moore, and SCE&G.

Security during construction was the direct responsibility of the SCE&G Construction Department. Gilbert provided planning for the inclusion of security requirements in the design of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station for the operations phase. The latter security planning and design documents were subject to the review and approval of the SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department, but were reviewed by all affected SCE&G organizations.

Construction management was the responsibility of the SCE&G Construction Department under the direction of the Nuclear Site Manager who reported to the 13.1-4 Reformatted May 2018

Group Manager, Construction and Control. Daniel was the constructor.

Construction activities were directed by the Daniel Project Manager who reported to the SCE&G Nuclear Site Manager. Project Managers for other site contractors, performing safety-related construction activities, reported to the SCE&G Nuclear Site Manager administratively and to the Daniel Project Manager for scheduling and coordination of work activities.

Quality control activities were the direct responsibility of the SCE&G Quality Control Manager who reported to the SCE&G Group Manager, Construction and Quality Control. Site quality control activities were performed by, or under the direction of the SCE&G Quality Control Manager, except for those contractors which had quality control responsibility. SCE&G had quality control responsibility for the Daniel scope of construction except for the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code related activities.

The SCE&G quality assurance section had the primary responsibility for surveillance and audit of site construction activities; however, Daniel had quality assurance responsibility for the scope of work under its ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Certificates of Authorization. Several other contractors also performed surveillance and audit of their work onsite. The SCE&G quality assurance group performed surveillance and audit of all site activities including those for which contractors had quality assurance within their scope of activities.

Further detail can be found in Section 17.1.

2. Preoperational Activities The preoperational activities at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station which were being accomplished included the following:
a. Development of human engineering design objectives and design phase review of proposed control room layouts.

A coordinated effort had been placed on the design of the control room to best meet the needs of the plant operator during normal operation and emergency situations.

A practical review of the physical dimensions of the control board to suit the operator and the types and arrangement of controls, instrumentation, displays and alarms required for safe operation and shutdown was performed by the plant staff. Consideration was given to the fact that certain systems normally require more attention from the operator and the controls for these systems were grouped accordingly.

13.1-5 Reformatted May 2018

Computers were used to provide supplementary information to the operator and are designed to be an effective tool in the operation of the plant. The design included adequate instrumentation to provide the operator with sufficient information for proper and safe system operation, irrespective of the availability of the computer system. The computer system obtained data by scanning analog and digital sensors. It logged data on typewriters, sequentially logged trip and post trip data, and alarmed various off-normal and abnormal conditions. Monitoring programs were also included for surveillance of reactor control and protection system operations, and for nuclear process calculations.

The computer readout and plant operators console are located in the control room.

The control room was designed to ensure habitability under anticipated operational transients (see Section 9.4 for a discussion of control room ventilation systems).

b. Development and implementation of staff recruiting and training programs SCE&G had developed a "Plan for Staffing the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station," designed for staff selection, training, and recruiting. This plan referenced ANSI N18.1-1971, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," as the basis for determining the minimum experience and education requirements for plant personnel. The recommendations of the NRC in WASH-1130, "Utility Staffing and Training for Nuclear Power Plants,"

were also used in developing this plan. Details pertaining to experience and education requirements are found in Section 13.1.3 and training details are found in Section 13.2 although both are now based on the requirements of ANS 3.1-1981.

c. Development of plans for initial testing The plans for the preoperational and startup testing of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station were developed by the plant staff. Outside consulting services were used for guidance in establishing these plans. The Manager, Virgil C. Summer Station had the overall responsibility for the development and implementation of this program. Additional details regarding plans for preoperational and startup testing are found in Chapter 14.
d. Development of plant maintenance programs The plant maintenance program was designed to implement good practices in preventative and corrective maintenance. Such practices assured that the plant would function reliably during its lifetime. This program was designed to control maintenance of equipment and associated controls in an orderly fashion by use of approved procedures.

13.1-6 Reformatted May 2018

3. Technical Support for Operations This section describes the technical services and backup support for operations in the following areas:
a. Nuclear, mechanical, structural, electrical, thermal-hydraulic, plant chemistry, health physics, metallurgy and materials, and instrumentation and controls.

The Manager, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station had available to him the plant Technical Staff and the offsite Nuclear Engineering Group to support engineering activities of the station. The plant could contact offsite suppliers and consultants to secure information or guidance as required. If offsite engineering was needed to provide support services, the Manager, Nuclear Engineering, determined whether the required work would be performed by the SCE&G nuclear engineering staff, or contracted to a qualified outside organization. A coordinator in the nuclear engineering group was to follow progress and coordinate work.

b. Fueling and refueling operations support The Manager, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station had the option of selecting the qualified personnel for directing fueling and refueling operations.

These personnel could come from the plant staff, other company personnel (especially from nearby SCE&G power facilities), and qualified outside contractors.

c. Maintenance support The Manager Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station had the option to utilize the plant maintenance staff, other company personnel (especially from nearby SCE&G power facilities, company wide maintenance personnel, and construction support), or outside contractors for special support in maintaining the plant.

13.1.1.3 Interrelationships with Contractors SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department was responsible for the overall coordination and final approval of plant design and engineering activities during the design and construction phases of the project. During the operating phase, the Nuclear Engineering Department in conjunction with the onsite technical support group was to be responsible for providing technical support services to the Station. The interface between these two Departments was further described in Chapter 17. The SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Departments technical staff and the onsite technical support group were described in Sections 13.1.1.4 and 13.1.2.2, respectively.

13.1-7 Reformatted May 2018

Westinghouse design documents which would have an effect on that portion of the plant (BOP) designed by either Gilbert or SCE&G were forwarded to Gilbert or SCE&G for their respective review and comment. Likewise, SCE&G and Gilbert design documents which had an effect on the Westinghouse or other suppliers scopes of supply were forwarded to these other organizations for their review and comment as appropriate.

Specified Gilbert design documents were reviewed and approved by SCE&G Nuclear Engineering. Final acceptance by the SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department of design concepts, documents, and equipment suppliers were based on recommendations from the responsible Gilbert engineers along with recommendations from within SCE&G Construction, Purchasing, Quality Assurance and power supply organizations, as appropriate.

Interrelationships and interfaces among various organizations during preoperational and startup testing were described in Section 14.2.2. These relationships for the plant operational phase were described in Chapter 14.

The responsibility for ensuring that equipment suppliers and contractors conform to the approved engineering specifications was the responsibility of Gilbert and/or SCE&G even though equipment was procured by SCE&G Purchasing Department.

Conformance with the approved specifications was verified through implementation of the quality assurance program, and was described in Chapter 17.

13.1.1.3.1 Gilbert Associates, Inc.

The professional qualifications and the organizational structure of Gilbert Associates were presented in Section 1.4.2 and in Chapter 17. During the design and construction phases of the project, the Gilbert Project Manager had the responsibility of coordinating the plant design activities of Gilbert under the overall supervision and direction of the SCE&G Manager, Nuclear Engineering. Upon completion of the plant, Gilbert was to continue to perform engineering services as needed. During the operational phase the same basic organization which was used during design and construction was to continue with qualifications and structure. (The current organization is shown in Section 1.4.2 and Chapter 17.)

The Gilbert Technical Support Group, working in direct support of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, would be smaller in size than that required to design the plant. The project manager and principal engineers in this continuing engineering services group were to be physically located in a project island configuration which was designed to enhance a more effective internal interface with the Gilbert organization. The individuals assigned to the continuing services group would, for the most part, be the same personnel who were involved in the original design of the Summer Station.

Changes of the project manager or principal engineers assigned to this group had to receive approval of the SCE&G Manager, Nuclear Engineering.

13.1-8 Reformatted May 2018

The Gilbert project island was to keep and maintain the following records and documents:

1. Project correspondence
2. Project design documents, e.g., layouts, system diagrams, system design descriptions
3. As-built drawings (Gilbert and vendor)
4. Purchase orders
5. Updated FSAR and ER
6. Equipment, valve, instrument, and electrical feeder lists
7. Design calculations
8. Other documents deemed necessary for proper technical support.

A direct telephone line was installed between the Gilbert project office and SCE&G engineering offices. Telecopiers were also available in each location. Home telephone numbers of the principal Gilbert personnel assigned to the project office were available to the SCE&G Nuclear Engineering Department on a continuous and updated basis.

In addition to the personnel assigned to the Gilbert Technical Support Group, Gilbert management was committed to provide its corporate resources as needed.

13.3-1 AMENDMENT 97-01 AUGUST 1997

13.4 REVIEW AND AUDIT A program of inplant and independent reviews and audits has been developed by South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) to provide a system to ensure that plant startup and operation are consistent with company policies, approved procedures, and license provisions. The review and audit program also assures that abnormal occurrences are promptly investigated and corrected in a manner which reduces the probability of recurrence of such events, and detects trends which may not be apparent to a day to day observer. Guidance provided by ANSI N18.7, "Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operating Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," [1] has been used in establishing the SCE&G review and audit program for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station.

NOTE 13.4.1 RN Section 13.4.1 is being retained for historical purposes only.11-040 13.4.1 REVIEW AND AUDIT - CONSTRUCTION Review and audit during the design and construction phase of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station are a part of the SCE&G quality assurance program. The review function is performed primarily by the exchange of information between SCE&G, the principal contractors, and other contractors and suppliers. Audits are conducted internally and externally in accordance with the approved quality assurance plan to ensure that design and construction are in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B (see Chapter 17).

13.4.2 REVIEW AND AUDIT - OPERATIONS 13.4.2.1 Onsite Review The onsite review system at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station is basically a part of the individual job responsibilities of the plant supervisors. It is their responsibility to RN conduct a continuous review of the plant activities under their direction. For example,17-025 plant supervisor responsibilities include a verification that safety-related activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures and a review of documentation and records to verify that technical and quality requirements are maintained.

To ensure that items which do not fall under the direct supervision of any one supervisor are reviewed in a thorough and prompt manner, a more systematic approach is used.

The General Manager, Nuclear Plant Operations has the responsibility and the authority for the coordination and completion of special reviews and audits. Reviews and audits of this nature include review of procedures, changes, tests, and experiments. The General Manager, Nuclear Plant Operations will also verify that abnormal occurrences and unusual events are promptly investigated and corrected in a manner which reduces the probability of recurrence of such events. Administrative procedures to standardize these reviews and audits are included in the plant operating procedures. For example, 13.4-1 Reformatted May 2018

the development of safety-related procedures is covered by procedures which describe the system by which safety-related procedures are written, reviewed, and approved for implementation.

The requirements for preparation, format, and content of safety-related procedures, status of development, incorporation of comments, and the approval in preliminary or in final form, are covered by procedures.

Subjects to be covered by an onsite systematic review include:

1. Review of safety-related procedures.
2. Review of proposed tests and experiments to be conducted after initial fuel loading that affect nuclear safety.
3. Review of proposed changes, to Technical Specifications, emergency plan, security plan, and licenses.
4. Review of proposed design changes, field changes, and modifications to plant safety-related systems, structures, or components.
5. Review investigations of violations of Technical Specifications, license requirements, applicable codes, and regulations.
6. Review of abnormal occurrences, unusual events, and emergency plan activations.
7. Preparation of reports covering evaluation and recommendations to prevent recurrence.
8. Review of significant operating abnormalities or deviations from the normal or expected performance of plant equipment.
9. Review of any indications of a deficiency in design, operation, or testing of safety-related systems, structures, or components.
10. Performance of special reviews and rendering of reports thereon as requested by the General Manager, Nuclear Plant Operations.98-150
11. Review the acceptance of safety-related material that has been identified in nonconformance reports and that has been accepted "as is."

In addition to the Review cycle as stated above, the Plant Safety Review Committee RNs will function and have Review Responsibilities as described in Part V, Section 2 of the 11-004 VC Summer Quality Assurance Program Description.18-016 13.4-2 Reformatted May 2018

For each review:

01-117

1. Determine whether or not the item reviewed may require a license amendment as defined in 10CFR50.59 or a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) amendment as defined in 10CFR72.48. In such a case, these items will be referred to the Plant RN 13-018 Safety Review Committee. In addition, if dry cask system CoC or license requirements are involved, determine if the matter should be forwarded to the CoC holder. This 50.59 and/or 72.48 evaluation may be subject to review and approval by the Nuclear Safety Review Committee. (Applicable to items 2, 3, 4, and 5 above.)

The records of the Nuclear Safety Review Committee are maintained at the plant site.

2. Recommend approval or disapproval of the matter reviewed if it is determined that RN no possible license or CoC amendment, violation, or requirement is involved.13-018 (Applicable to items 2, 3, and 4 above.) and 01-117

13.5.2 CONTROL ROOM OPERATING PROCEDURES Control Room operating procedures are those procedures that are performed by the licensed Control Room Operator or under his direction and control. They are a preplanned method for the conduct of operations to minimize reliance on memory.

These procedures include anticipated operating conditions, the normal method of control, means for and limits on operation of the plant, or plant systems that affect the safety of the plant and the public. These procedures address the areas discussed in Sections 13.5.2.1 through 13.5.2.6. As stated in NUREG-0660, item I.C. the applicant will incorporate changes into station operating procedures resulting from "Owners Group participation" as deemed necessary. A list of these procedure categories can be found in Table 13.5-2.

13.5.2.1 General Operating Procedures General Operating Procedures (GOP) provide for the integrated operation of the plant.

These procedures provide the sequence of plant operations to take the plant from a given initial condition to a final expected condition. Associated system operating procedures are referenced as applicable. Necessary precautions are inserted at critical points.

13.5.2.2 Emergency Operating Procedures Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) are written so that a trained operator and crew will be able to identify an emergency from the symptoms available to them and take immediate action on the expected course of events to place the plant in a known safe condition and to mitigate the consequence of a serious condition should it occur. Since emergencies may not follow anticipated patterns these procedures provide sufficient flexibility to accommodate variations. Those sections of the procedure that require immediate response action from the operating crew are committed to memory.

Considerable judgment on the part of competent personnel is exercised before departure from these procedures.

13.5.2.3 System Operating Procedures System Operating Procedures (SOP) provide instructions for energizing, starting up, shutting down, changing modes of operation, and other instructions for operations of systems related to the safety of the plant.

These procedures are concerned with systems only and include valve and switch lineups, control operations, and instrumentation within the system boundaries. They are subdivided into normal operations, infrequent operations, and off normal conditions in the main body.

13.5.2.4 Annunciator Response Procedures Annunciator Response Procedures (ARP) are written to instruct the operator on the proper action to be taken in response to annunciators on the Main Control Board. They contain annunciator identification, inputs into the annunciator, and logical operator responses to be taken to ensure proper corrective action. The ARPs are identified by panel number. An illustration in the beginning of the ARP depicts the annunciator panel. In the case of computer alarms each alarm's unique identifier is listed. 02-01 When use of the ARP is required, the operator selects the proper tab by an alarm panel number.

13.5.2.5 Fuel Handling Procedures Fuel Handling Procedures (FHP) are written to specify actions and philosophy for core alterations and partial or complete refueling operations. They include requirements for continuous monitoring of neutron flux throughout core loading and audible annunciation of abnormal flux increases. The duties of personnel assigned to refueling, such as periodic data taking, response actions to alarms during refueling, and criteria for stopping the refueling are specified. Also, instructions for proper sequence of events, verification, and frequency of sampling to ensure shutdown margin, communications between the control room and the fuel loading station, documentation of final fuel component serial numbers and location, containment integrity requirements, and rules for periods when refueling is interrupted are included. System operating procedures are referenced as required.

13.5.2.6 Special Procedures Special procedures are written and issued to direct operations during testing, refueling, maintenance, and modifications. These procedures provide guidance in unusual situations not covered by existing procedures. They ensure orderly and uniform operations for short periods when the plant, a system, or a component is not performing in a normal manner and an existing procedure does not apply. Special procedures designate the period of time during which they may be used and are subject to the same review and approval process as other operating procedures.

13.5.3 MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION PROCEDURES Maintenance and modification procedures define the policies and practices by which structures, systems, and components are kept in a condition of good repair so that they are capable of reliably performing their intended functions. This includes those activities performed by maintenance or contractor personnel to maintain, repair, or modify safety-related equipment. Additional related activities covered are those by operating personnel to ensure that a planned maintenance activity can be safely accomplished, that proper plant operating conditions exist, to authorize the release of equipment to be maintained using equipment control procedures, and to assure that the equipment has been returned to normal operating status at the completion of maintenance work, as well as verification of functional acceptability. Procedures are written to assure measurement accuracies are adequate to keep safety parameters and controls within safety and operational limits. This instrumentation includes interlocks, alarm devices, sensors, readout instruments, transmitters, signal conditioners, laboratory equipment, key recorders, and protective logic circuits. Calibration, testing, and checking of instrumentation channels are performed at the frequency specified in Technical Specifications. A list of the areas covered by maintenance procedures is given in Table 13.5-3.

13.5.4 EMERGENCY PLAN PROCEDURES These procedures are written in sufficient detail that a qualified individual can perform the required actions without supervision. They provide a step by step order and logical sequence in a concise manner but are flexible enough to give latitude to the user for the exercise of judgment in implementing specific actions or parts of the procedure. These instructions specify the individual or organization having authority and responsibility for performing critical tasks. The actions to be performed by support agencies and the coordination with other elements of the emergency organization are also specified.

Guidelines for initiating recovery after the emergency alert is over to restore the plant to the pre-emergency conditions are given. A list of the procedure categories is given in Table 13.5-4.

13.5.5 CHEMICAL-RADIOCHEMICAL CONTROL PROCEDURES These procedures provide instructions for maintaining reactor coolant, condensate, and feedwater within prescribed quality limits and include the nature and frequency of sampling and analysis. They also include laboratory instructions and instructions for calibration of laboratory equipment. Limitations on concentrations of agents that could cause corrosive attack, foul heat transfer surfaces, or become sources of radiation hazards due to activation are given. A list of the procedure categories is given in Table 13.5-5.
