Maintenance facilities-Facilities, equipment, and tools efficiently support station maintenan maintenance training.

Conectiw and Pieventiw Maintenance-A proper balance of correctiw and preventive maintenan provides a high degree of confidence that station equipment degradation is identi ~

that equipment life is optimized, and that the maintenance program is cost effective. Preve maintenance includes predictive, periodic, and planned maintenance actions taken to maintain a v piece of equipment within design operating conditions and extend its life. It is performed p equipment failure or to prevent equipment failure.

Maintenance Procedures-Procedures,that are current, accurate, and in a format that promotes error.

Material Receipt, inspection, Handling. Storage, Retrieval, andIssuance-Proper care of parts, 1 materiels, and equipment occurs from the time an item is receiwd until it is installed in the station.

Controland Calibration ofMeasuring and Test Equipment-The program for control and calibration of measuring and test equipment ensures the accurate performance of station instrumentation and equipment for testing, calibration, and repairs.

Maintenance Tools and Equipment Control-An adequate and readily available supply of tools and equipment allows the maintenance department to mainta.n the station in a wfe and reliable operating condition.

Management Imolement-Corporate and station managers promote high standards of maintenance by maintaining an awareness of conditions and practices in the areas of their responsibility at tht!

operating station and by providing appropriate direction and support. ,

Maintenance History-The maintenance history program provides historical information for future maintenance planning and supports maintenance trending of station systems and equipment.

Analyses ofMaintenance Problems-Systematic analyses are used to determine the root causes of unplanned occurrences related to maintenance.

Nuclear utilities haw charged INPO with the responsibility for establishing performance objectiws and criteria that epcompass the abow key elements. Additional maintenance guidance consisting of detailed information on how to achiew those objectiws is provided by INPO to assist the utilities in establishing and improving maintenance programs. All utilities are committed to striw to meet INPO performance objectims and criteria and to meet the intent of INPO guidance. The criteria listed may not address ewry activity associated with the performance objectiw. Therefore, meeting all the criteria does not ensure that the perfor-mance objective is fully met. Conversely, it is recognized that a nucitar station may effectiwly achiew the performance objectiw without meeting each specific criterion. For these reasons, INPO emphasizes achiew-ment of the performance objectiws rather than focusing solely on the supporting criteria. Utilities are also committed to support the programs and other elements described in this document.

The programs described in this document provide the following advantages to the nuclear power industr the establishment of standards against which utilities can evaluate their maintenance programs and dewlop necessary correctim actio'ns '

t SECTION 2 MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES I

I1 The key to effectiw maintenance is strong line management, complemented by ongoing self-assessrnent and an effectiw QA/QC program.

Effectie maintenance management provides the following:

clear direction for achieving expectations and completing planned work

assessment capabilities to evaluate both personnel and equipment performance and to determine root causes of deficient performance I

full accountability for the personnel irwoled Additionally, maintenance management has primary responsibility for pro <iding adequate resources: fostering teamwork, and selecting, training, dewtoping, and qualifying maintenance personnel.

Ongoing self-assessment provides a valuable input to the management process. All utilities haw con-ducted maintenance self evaluations by assessing their maintenance performance and programs to identify l and make necessary impromments. Self-evaluations and irxlepth reviews of maintenance programs and processes promote ongoing corrective action and implementation ofimprowment efforts. Through such management monitoring and assessment, utilities wrify that effective administratiw policies, programs, procedures, and practices needed to achiew high lewis of maintenance performance are in place.

Independent quality programs that also provide a valuable input to the management process are establish-ed at all utilities in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix 8.

ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING MAINTENANCE 11 CorporateSupport The corporate organization supports plant maintenance activities by providing adequate resources that in-clude personnel, materiel, and services. Parts procurement, engineering, and other technical services bewnd the capacity of the plant are often provided through the corporate organization.

12 f.rgir,adngSupport -

Plant engineering support activities play a key role in an effectiw maintenance program. Engineering sup-port personnel monitor and evaluate the performance of plant systems and components. This includes review-ing past and present maintenance activities to identify and resolve chronic problems, in addition to trending results from tests and routine operations to identify equipment degradation before failure. Engineering analysis can lead to changes in the scope or frequency of preventiw maintenance activities, changes in the method of equipment operation or maintenance, or equipment modifications to improw equipment reliability.

E. An effective collectiw exposure reduction program is established that reviews work in the conceptual and early planning stages to reduce exposure through the application of accepted techniques such as b the following:

1. system and equipment design changes that minimize exposures during installation, operation, and

} maintenance l

2. material selection and chemistry controls for reactor cooling systems that minimize the production of i h

'I activated corrosion and wear products

3. equipment flushing and decontamination prior to work

4. prefabrication or disassembly of non actiw system components in low radiation areas

5. special tools to minimize entry time spent in high radiation areas i E temporary or additional permanent shielding installation l

7. training and practice using mock-up equipment

8. assignment to the job site of the minimum number of personnel needed to perform the work l 9. preparation and review of detailed procedures and work plans -

!, 10. briefing of workers on work procedures and special radiological considerations F. Analysis of current practices and comparison with industry practices are used to reduce collectiw l radiation exposures. l l G. NTOb A comprehensiw plan for monitoring neutron and gamma radiation lewis during initial power ascension is prepared. R NTOb Potential sources of radiation that will be created by plant operation and maintenance have been evaluated by a thorough system walkdown for any necessary shielding, access controls, remote operation and inspection provisions, and special monitoring equipment. l-l l 1 l l i l 37 002306 l l

INTERNAL RADIATION EXPOSURE l i

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE l Intemal radiation exposure controls should minimize intemal exposures. CRITERIA A. Engineered controls are used, when feuible, to prevent the intake of radioactiw material, for example:

1. Wntilation systems are balanced to ensure that airflow is toward areas of higher contaminanon.

1

2. Portable filtration systems are used to control airbome contaminants. l

3. Containment structures, such as tents, are used to protect personnel working in adjacent areas. l

4. Unique fittings are used for the plant breathing air system.

l l

8. Accurate and timely airborne radioactivity survey information is available for determining the boun-daries of airbome radioacuvity areas, posting entry requirements, anc' /ninimizing intemal exposure to l

workers during work activities. The boundaries of these areas are clearly identified and posted. l C. Radiation work permits or similar controls are used to control personnel entry into areas where air- ; bome radioactivity exists or where radioactie material may become airbome due to work being pe r-formed. D. The respiratory protection program defines responsibilities and requirements in the following areas:

1. training

2. controland use of respirators

3. maskandfittesting

4. breathing air purity E. The number of areas where respiratory protection is required is minimized. . I i

F. Personnel who perform work in radiologically controlled areas are monitored for intemal deposition of ! radioactivityas follows:

1. annually ),

2. more frequently for those workers who have the highest potential for breathing high airbome radio l tivity '

3. prior to performing radioactive work, after initial employment, and upon termination of employme 4.

whenever it is suspected that personnel have inhaled or ingested radioactivity

5. following personnel contaminations, unless exempted by the radiological protection manager or h' !

designee - G. Appropriate corrective action is taken whenever there are significant numbers of positiw whole-body counts, een if the counts are less than regulatory limits. l 002307 l 38
