j 2.1 GENERAL l
The Emergency Response Guidelines (ERG's) - the Westinghouse generic technical guidelines - are the basis for the development of the following Catawba documents:
o Plant Specific Technical Guidelines o Plant Specific EP's The Westinghouse ERG's, Basic Revision, dated September 1, 1981 will be used for writing the initial versions of both the above plant specific documents.
Information contained in the latter revisions of the ERG's will be incorporated as necessary in accordance with the Catawba programs for the development and verification of the plant specific technical guidelines and EP's described in the subsequent paragraphs. The revised plant specific. technical guidelines will serve as the basis for the approved EP's.
2.2 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 2.2.1 Mechanics of Converting Technical Guidelines The following major items are included in the methodology to be used in converting the Westinghouse ERG's into Catawba Specific Technical Guidelines, o Identify design differences between the Westinghouse reference plant and Catawba Nuclear Station o Check each guideline step for applicability Modify guideline steps to conform to Catawba specific design o
Analyze setpoints, limits, and precautions for Catawba specific o
requirements o Compare transient response for the reference plant with Catawba specific analysis Major differences in the Catawba design and the Westinghouse reference plant are being considered in additional analyses performed by Westinghouse.
The chief examples of this effort are the Ice Condenser Containment and Upper Head Injection System utilized in the Catawba design.
s-o 2.2.2 Emergency Procedure Development l
2.2.2.1 Preparation of Catawba Onergency Procedures The EP writing team will obtain and review the following Catawba technical information, o Westinghouse ERG's o Catawba Specific Technical Guidelines o Catawba Nuclear Station Writer's Guide for Emergency and Abnormal Procedures o FSAR o Technical Specifications o Other Plant-Specific Procedures (Operating Procedures, Abnormal Procedures,etc.)
2.2.2.2 Writing Emergency Procedures The Westinghouse ERG's and the Catawba specific technical guidelines are utilized by the station EP writing team as general guidelines for developing Catawba plant-specific procedures. This process involves writing the procedure in the format and style as specified in the Catawba Writer's Guide. The process also involves entering plant-specific details required from an opera-tions standpoint. These details include entering plant-specific steps, valve lineups, component identifications, and referencing other plant specific procedures.

J 3 WRITERS GUIDE FOR EMERGENCY AND ABNORMAL PROCEDURES 3.1 GENERAL A writer's guide for Emergency Procedures (EP's) and Abnormal Procedures (AP's) is a plant-specific document that provides instructions on writing EP's and AP's, emphasizing the incorporation of accepted human factors engineering principles.
The writer's guide will be continually improved, based on experience gained from the EP verification and validation programs and from the operator training program to be conducted for plant specific EP's.
The plant-specific writer's guide addresses both EP's and AP's, however, the remaining parts of the Procedures Generation Package addresses only the EP's as required by Section 7.2b of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737.
3.2 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION The following najor topics are included in the plant-specific writer's guide for EP's and AP's.
o Procedure Format Principles l
o Procedure Style and Content o EP Example o AP Outline o Plant Specific Listing of Acronyms and Abbreviations o Plant Specific Constrained Language Listing o Punctuation and Usage Handbook o Guidelines for Word Processing The Catawba Nuclear Station Writer's Guide for Emergency and Abnormal Procedures is provided as an additional attachment to this submittal.

4 EMERGENCY PROCEDURE VERIFICATION PROGRAM 4.1 GENERAL EP verification is the administrative process performed to confirm the written correctness and technical accuracy of the plant-specific EP's.
The verification program ensures that all generic and plant-specific technical requirements have been included in the procedure.
This evaluation also t
ensures that the human factors principles defined in the writer's guide for EP's have been considered within the procedure.
4l1 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The EP verification program establishes administrative procedures defining the verification process as an integral part of the overall EP upgrade effort.
Included in these procedures are:
o Detailed instructions for performing the verification process on each Catawba EP o Documentation and approval of the verification process o The process for identifying discrepancies o The process for resolving discrepancies In the development of the Catawba Nuclear Station EP verification program the industry guidance document, Emergency Operating Procedures Verification Guideline, was used as a reference source.
This document was written by the Emergency Operating Procedures Implementation Assistance (E0 PIA) Review Group and Published by INPO.
Duke Power was an active participant in this industry working group.
The Catawba Nuclear Station EP Verification Program is defined by the following:
o Catawba Nuclear Station Procedure for the Verification Process for Emergency Procedures o Reactor Safety Procedure RS-003, Technical Verification of Nuclear Station Emergency Procedures and Guidelines These procedures are included as attachments to this submittal.

o 5 EMERGENCY PROCEDURE VALIDATION PROGRAM l
5.1 GENERAL The EP validation program is the adainistrative process for ensuring that a trained operating shift can manage emergency conditions using the plant-specific EP's.
The EP validation process will measure the adequacy of the operator / procedure interface in handling emergency situations.
5.2 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The EP validation program establishes administrative procedures defining the validation process to be used as an integral part of the overall EP upgrade effort.
Included in these procedures are:
Detailed instructions for performing the validation process for o
Catawba EP's o Documentation and approval of the validation process o The process of identifying discrepancies o The process for resolving discrepancies In the development of the Catawba Nuclear Station EP validation program the industry guidance document Emergency Operating Procedures Validation Guide-lines, was used as a reference source. This document was written by the Emergency Operating Procedures Implementation Assistance (EOPIA) Review Group and published by INPO.
Duke Power was an active participant in this industry working group.
The Catawba Nuclear Station Procedure for Validation of Emergency Procedures is included as an attachment to this submittal.

6 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES TRAINING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION j
In preparation for Unit 1 license examinations, an EP training program consist-j ing of a total of 32 weeks of classroom, in plant, and simulator training is planned.
EP training will occupy a total of approximately four weeks (160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br />) of training in the classroom and control room at Catawba Nuclear Station and a portion of the four weeks of simulator training at the Technical Training Center.
The classroom /in plant training 1s scheduled for the last half of 1983.
This will include classroom lectures of the EP steps and discussion of the following source documents:
o Westinghouse ERG's o Catawba Plant Specific Technical Guidelines o Catawba EP's in most current revision Following the classroom discussion, the procedure steps will be followed in the Catawba Nuclear Station control room, locating instruments and controls necessary for event diagnosis and control.
Simulator training is scheduled for the first quarter of 1984.
During this training, operators will use Catawba Nuclear Station procedures to respond to instrument failures, analyzed transients, and multiple malfunction.
It is recognized that the simulator is not a replica of the Catawba Nuclear Station control room, but does simulate a 4-loop Westinghouse NSSS.
Control and indication similarity to Catawba Nuclear Station is limited, but will be adetfuate to produce "real time" event analysis and response.
Oral and written examinations will be used to evaluate trainee progress throughout the training period.
Training will be provided by Duke Fuser Company, Production Support Department, Technical Training Group, under the cognizance of the operations staff and management of Catawba Nuclear Station.
Periodic requalification training is accomplished in accordance with existing I
Regulatory requirements and Catawba Nuclear Station FSAR Section 13.2.2.3.
This training is done during shift training sessions on a rotating schedule.
Emergency procedure changes will be reviewed on shift and during scheduled requalification training.
