{{#Wiki_filter:_ _ . EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE GENERATION PACKAGE VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT APRIL, 1984 INTRODUCTION Supplement 1 to NUKEG-0737, Section 7.2b requires that a Procedure Generation Package (PGP) be submitted to the NRC Staff for review. Georgia Power submits this volume in fulfillment of that requirement. The four major sections of the PGP are described below:
- a. Method of Developing Plant Specific Emergency Operating Procedure from the Generic Guidelines This document summarizes the method that will be used at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP),
Units 1 & 2, to develop plant-specific emergency operating procedures from the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS), Revision 1, High Pressure version. It also presents plant-specific information, and discusses plant-specific differences between the generic reference plant and the VEGP design. The outline for the mechanics of conversion is given in Procedure 10013-C, WRITING EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES FROM THE WESTINGHOUSE EMERGENCY ' RESPONSE GUIDELINES, wherein the preparation, generation, and documentation of the writing are described. This procedure is the administrative control for the instruction and direction of EOP writers.
- b. Writers Guide Procedure 10012-C, EOP AND AOP WRITERS GUIDE, provides administrative and technical guidance on the preparation of all emergency operating procedures (EOPs) and abnormal operating procedures (AOPs). The guide outlines methods of procedure designation and numbering, format, mechanics of style, writing instructional steps, and typing format; in addition, EOP numbering and listing, action verbs, and VEGP acronyms and abbreviations are tabulated. This procedure, along with references such as the Final Safety Analysis Report, system drawings and descriptions, technical specifications, etc., is a primary source document for the writing of EOPs and AOPs.

(J c. Validation Program In NUREG 0899, Revision 1, section 2.0, paragraph 2.5, validation is defined as the process whereby the
. accuracy of information and/or instructions is established. The definition gives examples of validation methods and stipulates that both technical and human factors be considered. For VEGP Units 1 & 2, Georgia Power groups those tasks, as applied to the EOPs, into two separate but related processes. One is termed EOP verification, and the other is called EOP validation.
The first process is a detailed verification of the EOPs; essentially this is an administrative (written correctness) and technical review of the procedures by personnel other than those who wrote them. This review is carried out in accordance with Procedure 10014-C, VERIFICATION OF EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES, which describes the preparation, assessment and resolution of the verification, and establishes the verification criteria to be used. In addition, the procedure specifies how the findings will be documented.
-s The second process is a simulator run validation . 1 1 of the EOPs; this is performed by teams of observers and operators who will monitor and assess that the actions specified in each procedure can be effectively carried out by the operating crews to manage emergency conditions. These real time, simulator tests of the EOPs will be conducted in accordance with the EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE VALIDATION PROGRAM PLAN.
This document gives the general goals and aims of validation, as well as the outline of the program which includes preparation, assessment, resolution and documentation.
- d. Training Program Description This document outlines the general areas from which the VEGP Training Department will develop curricula for the EOP training of license candidates.
The two main phases of training are the Classroom Instruction Phase and the Simulator Instruction Phase. Detailed program development and subsequent training maintenance will also evolve from this document. ( )

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document summarizes the method Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 1 & 2 will use to develop plant-specific EOPs from the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS) Revision 1 High Pressure Version. Also included is a discussion of the plant-specific differences from the generic reference plant and the effect of these differences on the applicability of the ERGS to VEGP Units 1 & 2. 2.0 COMPARISON OF PLANT SYSTEMS The high pressure (HP) reference plant is basically a 4-loop plant of current Westinghouse design. The HP reference plant is defined in terms of twenty-five plant systems. A comparison of these systems with VEGP Units 1 & 2 is made in table 1. O O

O (_/ 3.0 DISCUSSION OF DIFFERENCES The following sections describe the differences between the design of systems of the HP reference plant and those of VEGP Units 1 & 2. 3.1 ENGINEERED SAFEGUARDS FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in two cases. First, in the VEGP design, the Containment Isolation Phase B (CI-B) signal does not isolate cooling water lines into ccntainment for Reactor Coolant Pump support. This is done by operator action only. Second, the VEGP design has an additional input for the Containment Isolation Phase A (CI-A) signal from the Containment Hi Range Area Radiation Monitors. A high radiation alarm on these monitors
. generates a CI-A signal. The operator has reset capability on this input as with all other CI-A input signals.
3.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in f- one case. The pressurizer PORVs are Class lE
; ! solenoid-operated valves instead of air-operated valves. Each PORV is powered from a separate Class lE 125 VDC electrical train.
3.3 SAFETY INJECTION SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in the following three areas: e Boron Injection Tank boron concentration e Centrifugal Charging Pump alternate miniflows e Accumulator vent valves The VEGP design has a Boron Injection tank containing 2000 ppm boric acid solution as compared to 21000 ppm boric acid solution in the HP reference plant. The VEGP design has an alternate miniflow path for the Centrifugal Charging Pumps that opens on an SI signal. This path contains a relief valve that relieves to the Refueling Water Storage Tank. The HP reference plant does not include this provision. O v
O The VEGP design has two parallel solenoid-operated vent valves on each accumulator. The HP reference plant has a single air-operated valve shown on each accumulator. The VEGP design also has two parallel, solenoid-operated valves on the common vent line downstream of the accumulator vent valves for throttling vent flow. The HP reference plant has a single air-operated valve shown on the common vent line. All the aforementioned valves are powered from Class lE 125 VDC power supplies. 3.4 CHEMICAL AND VOLUME CONTROL SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in two cases. First, the charging flow indication in the VEGP design indicates total charging flow (the RCS charging flow and the RCP seal injection flow). The reference plant flow indication measures only the RCS charging flow. Second, the VEGP design has additional safety grade boration flowpaths. The valves in these flowpaths are either motor or solenoid-operated, and powered from Class lE power supplies. The HP reference plant does not show these additional flowpaths. () 3.5 COMPONENT COOLING WATER AND SERVICE WATER SYSTEMS The VEGP design has three cooling water systems that provide the heat removal from all the components that are identified in the HP reference plant Component Cooling Water and Service Water Systems. These three systems are the Component Cooling Water (CCW) System, the Auxiliary Component Cooling Water (ACCW) System, and the Nuclear Service Cooling Water (NSCW) System. In the VEGP design, the CCW system removes heat from the RHR heat exchangers. The other equipment listed by the HP reference plant as cooled by the CCW system is cooled by the other two systems. In the VEGP design, the ACCW system removes heat from the seal water heat exchanger and the RCPs. The ACCW system is cooled by the NSCW system. The ACCW system is powered from the class lE 4160 VAC power supplies, but is load shed on an SI signal. The equipment cooled by the ACCW system is part of the equipment cooled by the CCW system of the HP reference plant. Ch
O In the VEGP design, the NSCW system performs the functions of the Service Water System in the HP reference plant with one additional feature. The containment fan coolers are cooled by NSCW. In the reference plant, they are cooled by the CCW system. 3.6 MAIN STEAM SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in two cases. First, the power operated relief valves on each steamline are not air-operated. They are electo-hydraulic operated and powered (both actuation and control) from Class lE power sources. Second, the VEGP design has two main steam isolation valves in series on each steamline. The reference plant shows only one valve per steamline. 3.7 MAIN FEEDWATER AND CONDENSATE SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in one case. VEGP has two 50 percent capacity turbine-driven main feedwater pumps instead of the one motor-driven and two turbine-driven main feedwater pumps specified in the reference plant. k) 3.8 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in the following three areas: e Motor-driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump throttle valves e Turbine-driven AFW pump throttle valves e Auxiliary Feedwater nozzle The VEGP design has motor-operated throttle valves in the steam generator feed lines from the motor-driven AFW pumps. These valves aro powered from Class lE 480 VAC power supplies. The HP reference plant diagram of the AFW system shows these valves as air-operated control valves. The VEGP design has motor-operated throttle valves in the steam generator feed lines from the turbine-driven AFW pump. These valves are powered from Class lE 125 VDC power supplies. The HP reference plant shows these valves as air-operated control valves. O
t
-' The VEGP design includes e separate 6 inch AFW nozzle in each steam generator. The HP reference plant showst the AFW flce entering the steam generators through the main feedwater line.
3.9 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEll The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant in one case. The VEGP design has the ACCW pum ss as additonal major loads that are automatically
' sequenced on the diesel generator on a blackout signal, the ACCW pumps load shed but may be manually loaded on the diesel generators af ter completion of automatic sequencing. The HP reference plant has no analogous feature as all loada serviced by the VEGP ACCW systen are part of the reference plant CCW system.
The VEGP desiq~n has an additional feature not discussed in the HP reference plant description. VEGP has two Non-Class lE 480 VAC buses powered from the Class 1E 4160 VAC buses. Thase Non-Class lE buses are automatically sequenced on the diesel generator on a blackout signal with no SI. On an SI signal, these buses are load shed, but may be manually loaded on the <^ diesel generator under administrative control. These (3 ' ' buses power equipment useful during EOP recovery actions.
. 3.10 PNEUMATIC POWER SYSTEM The VEGP design differs from the HP reference plant design in that the pressurizer PORV's and the steam generator atmospheric relief valves are not air-operated. These differences are discussed in sections 3.2 and 3.6 respectively.

4.0 CONCLUSION
The differences given in the preceding sections do not preclude the use of the ERGS as bases for writing the VEGP EOPs. These differences, however, may necessitiate some modification to certain ERG steps when they are converted to EOP steps during the procedure writing process. Such variances would be documented in accordance with procedure 10013-C, WRITING EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES FROM THE WESTINGHOUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDELINES. 5.0 METHOD OF WRITING EOPS FROM ERGS VEGP EOPs will be written based on Westinghouse Owners Group ERGS in accordance with procedure 10013-C, WRITING EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES FROM THE WESTINGHOUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDELINES.

1.1 PURPOSE This document provides administrative and technical guidance on the preparation of emergency operating procedures (EOPs) and abnormal operating procedures (AOPs). 1.2 SCOPE This writers guide applies to the writing of all E0Ps and AOPs. 2.0 PROCEDURE DESIGNATION AND NUMBERING V, s E0Ps are procedures that govern the plant operation following reactor trip or SI initiation, and specific operator actions to be taken to return the plant to a stable condition. AOPs are procedures that govern plant operation when important parameters or systems are in jeopardy, but a situation requiring reactor trip or SI initiation has not occurred. These procedures prescribe operator actions to be taken to return the plant to a normal status. 2.1 COVER SHEET Each EOP and AOP shall have a cover sheet as described in paragraph 6.2.1. The cover sheet:
- a. identifies the procedure
- b. identifies the authorized revision

The same step number sequence is to be used in both the right and left columns of the procedure. Avoid using the (1) level of indenting.
- 3.5 LIST'0F INCOMPLETE ITEMS (APPLICABLE ONLY TO GENERATION OF REV 0 PROCEDURES)
When procedures are initially prepared, certain information needed for the procedure may not be available. Also, initial content of procedures may be i based on documents or data that are not finally approved. In such cases-the affected portion of the ! procedure has "(Later)" typed in. In the cases where the "Later" is an ERG footnote value, it should be ~ represented as "(Later-X)", where X is the footnote number.
"Later" items are generally setpoints and meter l readings that may be subject to errors depending on l
plant conditions, or which must be determined by a l study of the actual instruments installed. These l laters, as far as possible, are to be resolved by a L separate study. The values determined will be entered in procedures where appropriate prior to validation. O i CONTINUED 703445

"# 4.2 HYPHENATION Hyphens are used between elements of a compound word when usage calls for it. The following rules should be followed for hyphenation.
o When doubt axists, the compound word should be restructured to avoid hyphenation. o Hyphens should be used in the following circumstances:
- a. in compound numerals from twenty-one to ninety-nine; e.g.: one hundred thirty-four
- b. in fractions; e.g.: one-half, two-thirds
- c. in compounds with "self"; e.g.:
self-contained, self-lubricated
- d. when the last letter of the first word is the same vowel as the first letter of the second word. As an alternative, two words may be used; e.g.: fire-escape or fire escape
() e. when misleading.or awkward consonants would result by joining ehe words; e.g.: bell-like
- f. to avoid confusion with another word; e.g.:

- - 4.4 VOCABULARY Words used in procedures should convey precise understanding to the trained person. The following rules apply.
o Use simple words. o Use words in their common usage. o Use.words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, precise rather than blanket. o Uniquely define key words that may be understood in more than one sense. o Use active, positive directions. o Verbs with specific meaning should be used. Examples are listed in Table 2. j o Equipment status should be denoted as follows: 4 -- a. Operable / operability--These words mean that a system, subsystem, train, component, or s device is capable of performing its specified function (s) in the intended manner. Implicit in.this definition is the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its
' function (s) are also capable of performing related support function (s).
- b. Operating--This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is in operation and is performing its specified function (s).

, o Arabic numerals should be used.
o For numbers less than unity, the decimal point should be preceded by a zero, e.g.: 0.1. o The number of significant digits should be consistent with the accuracy available from the instrument and the reading ability of the operator. o Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction by the user is avoided if possible. This can generally be done by stating acceptance values as limits. Examples: ; 510*F maximum, 300 psig minimum, 580 to 600*F. ! For calibration points, statement of the midpoint ] and its lower and upper limits for each data cell I would accomplish the same purpose; e.g.: 9.5 to l 10.5 milliamperes. Avoid using i.
-() o Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables. They should be the same as.those used on the control l room displays, e.g.: psig instead of psi.
4.6 ABBREVIATIONS, LETTER SYMBOLS, AND ACRONYMS Common abbreviations and acronyms should be used where their meaning is unquestionably clear to the reader. Consistency should be maintained throughout the procedure. Table 3 is a list of common abbreviations as used in VEGP documents. i Capitalization of abbreviations should be uniform. If i the abbreviation is comprised of lowercase letters, it should appear in a title or heading. The period should be omitted in abbreviations except in cases where the omission would result in confusion. Letter symbols may be used to represent operations, quantities, elements relations, and qualities. G V CONTINUED 703445

kq Abbreviations, symbols, and acronyms should not be overused.- Their use should be for the benefit of the reader. They can be beneficial by saving reading time, ensuring clarity when space is limited and communicating mathematical ideas. 5.0 WRITING INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS This section presents guidance for use when preparing , E0Ps and AOPs, and is applicable to both unless otherwise specified. i 5.1 INSTRUCTIONAL STEP LENGTH AND CONTENT One of the most important factors to be considered when writing emergency / abnormal procedures is "when" the procedure will be utilized (i.e., during high stress condicions). Steps consisting of several actions . result in a complex grouping of information which can increase reading time and reduce comprehension. It can also lead to the omission of actions. Steps that are
-short and concise can greatly assist the operator when
. using the procedure under stressful conditions. Therefore, procedural steps should be written
. consisting of a single sentence or sentence fragment.
~ () Specify what is to be done, not what is to be avoided.
Negative and passive statements are more likely to be misunderstood in a stressful situation. The following guidance is applicable to step length and content, and shall be. considered when writing a procedure. o Operator actions should be presented in order of importance and use. o The entire action step should be listed on the page on which it started. O CONTINUED rows t=
J PROCEDURE No. REVISloN PAGE No. 10012-C 0 14 of 52 n i'~ o If actions are functionally related (i.e., they must be performed together to accomplish a result) these actions may be directed in a single step. However, if the step consists of three or more actions, list each action separately rather than in a single sentence. For example: Shut seal water injection valves: o HV-8103A o HV-8103B o HV-8103C o HV-8103D o Minimize the number of action verbs and objects of actions in a single step. o Do not use footnotes. 5.1.1 Action / Expected Response Column (AER) The left-hand column of the procedure is entitled
" Action / Expected Response". This column contains the instructional action steps initiated by the operator.
The steps should be arranged in a logical sequence with technical necessity being the overriding consideration. (3 (J For EOP AER columns only,.when specifying the expected position, status, or value of an item or parameter, the expected response should be separated by hyphen from the item / parameter, and fully capitalized as follows: o Check seal water injection valve HV-8103A - OPEN o Check power to block valves - AVAILABLE o Verify RCS pressure - GREATER THAN 2000 PSIG

, 10012-C 0 15 of 52 g The AER Column is subdivided into.two categories, Immediate Operator Actions and Subsequent Operator Actions. To determine whether a step is an immediate action or subsequent action, consider:
o Immediate Operator Actions are those actions which operators should take at once to stop further degradation of existing conditions, to mitigate their conaequences, and to allow the operators to evaluate the situation. Normally, these actions include:
- 1) verification of proper automatic protection system function following a reactor trip or safety injection,
- 2) assessment of plant conditions,
- 3) identification of appropriate recovery procedures.
. o ' Subsequent Operator Actions are those actions used to return the plant to a normal,. stable, or a safe steady-state condition, or to provide for a safe extended shutdown period. These steps shall O- contain those actions required to achieve the objectives (or purpose) of the procedure. 5.1.2 Response _Not Obtained Column (RNO) The right-hand column of the procedure is entitled
" Response Not Obtained". This column will be formatted 3.
in the same way as the AER column (i.e., same Operator contingency
; categories and numbering scheme).
c actions which should be taken when a stated condition, event,.or task does not represent or achieve the
- ' expected results, will be contained in the RNO column.
The following guidance is applicable to this column: i o Provide supplemental information such as branching to, or referencing another procedure.
- o. Provide supplemental actions such as manually l initiating automatic functions which have failed.
o RNO actions will be listed directly across from, and have the same step number as the applicable AER step. 4 I gx. r d 4 CONTINUED ( nua

, sequences to accomplish the same result. When writing
, a procedure, order the actions using the following considerations:
o Determine if an action is an immediate operator action or a subsequent operator action. o _ Order the action steps logically and according to technical necessity. o Consider the physical layout and organization of
.the control room for optimal staff movement and monitoring.
i o State when high level action steps do not have to be performed in the given sequence. o ~ Designate multiple action steps within a single
> ' step by letters (a, b, c, etc.) when sequencing is required. For example:

- a. Open letdown CNMT isolation valves
- b. Open letdown line isolation valves
- c. Open letdown orifice valve o- Designate multiple steps within a single step by c
bullets.(o) when sequencing is not required. For example:

These logic terms must be written into the procedure in a manner that will clearly identify the conditions that must be satisfied prior to taking the required action. It is important that these statements use the principles and techniques of formal logic so that they are correct, unambiguous, and complete. 5.2.2 Conjunctive Uses of "And", "Or", "Then"
- a. When used to connect words or short phrases in a sentence, the words "and" and "or" shall not be emphasized by full capitalization and underlining, e.g.:
o Read and record core thermocouple temperatures o Refer to SPDS or printed CSFSTs
- b. When used as. conjunctions connecting paragraphs or substeps, the words "and" and "or" shall be emphasized by full capitalization with hyphens placed immediately to the right and left of the worde also, the conjunction will be centered with respect to the items it is connecting, e.g.:
o 15. Check if ECCS Should Be Locked Out:

o Total feed flow to intact SG - GREATER THAN 200 GPM
-OR-o NR level in at least one SG -
GREATER THAN 6%
- c. The word "then" should not be used as a conjunction at the end of one action to instruct the operator to perform the next action, e.g.:
,o Verify all SI accumulators isolated, then cooldown PRZR with auxiliary spray.
- d. The word AND should not be used to join more than two conditions. If more than two conditions are required, a list should be used, e.g.:
IF all of the following conditions are met: o RCS pressure above psig, p (_) o PZR level above - %, o CNMT pressure below psig o RCS temperature below *F, l THEN reset SI.
- e. Most steps should be written using single action verbs and single direct obj ects. However, if combinations of two conditions are required, the
! word OR should be placed between the conditions, i e.g.: IF RCS pressure is rising, DR PZR level is rising,
- THEN go to step 7.
In this case, OR is to be taken in the inclusive sense, i.e., eTther one or both conditions will call for going to step 7. [

IF one or more of the following conditions is met: o RCS pressure above psig o PZR level above % o CNMT pressure below psig THEN DO NOT reset SI.
- 5.2.3 Structure and Use of Conditional Statements Conditional statements should appear before the action
- statement. Logic terms and sequences will be t
emphasized so that the operator can clearly identify-i all conditions and actions contained in a given logic sequence.
- a. Conditional statements shall begin with the words IF, IF NOT, or WHEN, followed by a description of tee condition. tee action statement which follows will begin with THEN. The logic terms IF IF NOT, WHEN, THEN, OR, INU will begin their sentences on separate lines. Tor example, a step would be written as:
WHEN PZR temperature reaches 480 F to 500*F, THEN stop charging pump rather than: WHEN PZR temperature reaches 480*F to 500*F, THEN stop charging pump. (an exception to the left justified placement of THEN is given in paragraph "b" below) 4 4'

- b. The use of IF NOT should be limited to those cases where the operator might have to respond to the second of two possible conditions. -
IF should be used to specify the first condition. The only time a conditional THEN does not start a separate line is when it follows IF NOT; e.g.: IF pressure is rising, THEN stop the injection pump. IT NOT, THEN start an additional inj ection pump.
- c. Most steps should be written using single action verbs and single direct objects. However, if combinations of two conditions are required, the word AND should be placed between the conditions, e.g.:
IF RCS pressure is rising, IND PZR level is rising, THEN go to step 7. 5.3 CAUTIONS AND NOTES . rS Cautions are a way to call attention to situations or (J actions that can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Notes provide supplemental information. Cautions and notes should not be overused to prevent diminishing their effectiveness as an attention-getter. Cautions and notes shall not direct actions. 5.3.1 Cautions The term " caution" should be used to alert an operator to conditions that could result in health hazards, j equipment damage, or plant damage.
- a. The caution statement will be identified with the l
heading CAUTION fully capitalized and underlined. l
- b. The entire caution statement, including the heading, will be centered in the middle of the page and boxed. The statement should be short; l

5.7 COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION Nomenclature that will assist the operator in ('#t accurately and quickly identifying equipment, controls', L and displays should be used. Several methods to accomplish this are available and it is up to the l discretion of the procedure writer to choose the method ! which best fits the situation. To make instructions as specific as possible without restricting the operator, a combination of these methods may be appropriate. 5.7.1 Methods of Identification L a. Verbatim nameplate identification - use when the l operator should have no option but to use the equipment, control, or display identified. This is the most restrictive method and it could be confusing due to the abbreviations and long numbers that some equipment have. Not allowing an
- operator flexibility also implies that the equipment specified is operable when, in fact, it l
might not be. Example of verbatim nameplate identification: START CNDR VCM PP 1CADICA l l CONTINUED 703445
PROCEDURE No. REVISION PAGE No. 10012-C 0 26 of 52 q
' b. Word paraphrasing - use key identifying words to eliminate the potential confusion of the verbatim method. This method can be used to allow operator flexibility in choosing among alternate equipment by eliminating the number or letter designator.
Example of word paraphrasing with no operator flexibility: Start Condenser Vacuum Pump A Example of word paraphrasing with operator flexibility: Start one Condenser Vacuum Pump
- c. Common usage - althor;h this method of identifying equipment can be the most concise and recognizable, the use of this method should be limited to those terms generally known industry-wide.
Example of common usage identification with no operator flexibility: I )' ' Start Hogger A Example of common usage identification with p operator flexibility: Start one Hogger l 5.7.2 Identification by Location l Because some procedures may involve relatively i unfamiliar or infrequently performed tasks, the search L for valves, switches, instruments or other items referred to in the procedure might be time consuming. l The procedure writer should include location information in such cases. 5.8 LEVEL OF DETAIL The degree of detail required for a step must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Always consider that the procedure is for emergency or abnormal conditions. L a. Details should be given for operators with the minimum expected. skill level and experience. l

- e. Any limits on the actions must be stated quantitatively whenever possible, e.g.:
The statement " Maintain SG levels above the low-low level trip" should read " Maintain SG level above 21% NR"
- f. Importance or complexity of the task may make greater detail necessary.
5.9 OPERATOR AIDS Operator aid (figures, graphs, SPDS, etc.) can be used to assist the operator in making decisions. These aids can be an important asset to the operator and provide significant procedure support.
-() 5.9.1 Printed Operator Aids Printed operator aids (fig 6res, charts, tables, graphs) can reduce operator error and increase speed of action.
- a. Printed aids must be self-explanatory and legible.
- b. Values used in printed aids must be in the same units as the operator reads on plant j instrumentation and in the procedure.
- c. Printed aids should not be included in the procedure text. They should be added, if appropriate, as attachments. ,
5.9.2 Computer-Driven Operator Aids Computer-driven aids (Proteus, SPDS) display trends, perform calculations and provide guidance. Care must l be exercised when specifying these aids in a procedure because they may not be available when needed.

EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE VALIDATION PROGRAM PLAN 1.0 GENERAL EOP validations will be performed on the VEGP simulator. The validation will be performed by teams of observers and operators who will monitor and assess that the actions specified in each procedure can be effectively carried out by the operating crews to manage the emergency conditions. Audio-visual aids and computer records may be used to assist the observers. Sufficient test scenarios will be developed to allow comprehensive validations of the EOP set. The VEGP validation program is based on the Emergency Operating Procedures Validation Guideline (INPO 83-006), and the ERG Revision 1 validation
) program performed by the' Westinghouse Owners Group
(}f03) at the'Seabrook station. The goal of the program will be to demonstrate that: e EOPS are usable, i.e., they.can be understood and followed without confusion, delays, and errors.
.e A correspondence exists between the procedures and the control room and plant hardware. ,
e The instructions presented in the EOPs are compatible with the shift manpower, qualifications, training, and experience of the operating staff. e A high level of assurance exists that the procedures will work, i.e., the procedures properly guide.the operator in mitigating transients and accidents. . /~N l,. CONTINUED
d ' 2.0 PHASES The program will consist of four phases: < a. Preparation
- b. Asseasment
- c. Resolution
- d. Documentation 3.0- -PREPARATION PHASE This phase includes indentification of resources, development of training plans and test scenarios, and determination of validation criteria.
13 . 1 A validation schedule will be developed based on the following preliminary milestones:
- a. Detailed validation schedule completed 4th Qtr 84
- b. Plant specific EOPs ready for validation 1st Qtr 85 Operator training and observer training 1st Qtr 85
-() c.
completed
- d. Scenario test runs on simulator completed 2nd Qtr 85
- e. Resolution of discrepancies, including 3rd Qtr 85 additional test runs if required, and completion of documentation 3.2 Validation Criteria The purpose of all EOPs is to provide direction to g place;the plant in a safe, stable condition, regardless of the imposed structural and equipment failures. Safe implies that the reactor is
- brought to a shutdown, subcritical, cool condition.
Stable implies either that conditions are in equilibrium, or are changing in response to operator control. This is the basis for all validation criteria. I - CONTINUED
p.
-(-) 3.2.1 Criteria will be developed to assess the following interactions:
e EOPs - Operator o EOPs - Control room o EOPs - Training e Training - Operator Training-Control Room and Operator-Control Room interactions are not addressed in this program; however, major weaknesses found in these areas will be noted in the findings. 3.2.2 Special criteria will be developed for most of the individual procedures expected to be exercised on the simulator. 3.3 Test Scenarios Scenarios will be developed which will test the EOPs on the VEGP simulator. Scenario development fs and selection will be based on industry experience. (',) Those procedures which are not exercised on the simulator as part of a test scenario will be individually exercised on the simulator from pre-set conditions which would be expected to lead to use of the procedure. Transition flow charts showing expected EOP usage during the scenarios will also be developed. 3.4 Administrative Materials l Documentation forms, flow charts, debriefing forms, ! etc. necessary for validation will be debeloped prior to validation. Audio-visual equipment will also be ready for use. 3.5 Operator and Observer Validation Training 3.5.1 Operator Training i Operating crews who will participate in the validation program will have received training on the EOPs. l Refresher training will be conducted just prior to the validation to place special emphasis on the
./\~~) following:
CONTINUED l l L
g4 N-) e EOP review to discuss changes which have been incorporated since formal operator training e Compliance with procedure e Familiarization with validation principles and methods e Familiarization with validation criteria 3.5.2 Observer Training The observer team, as a whole, will be familiar with the.following areas: e ERG development e VEGP EOP development e Plant operations e Human factors considerations e Control room gs
.q_) e Simulator e VEGP operator training programs Observers are to be provided training during which they will be familiarized with the following:-
e Validation objectives and criteria e Forms and documentation used for the validation e Anticipated operator and system responses e Audio-visual aids e Conduct of Debriefing 3.5.3 Validation Familiarization Runs Each observation team and operating crew will participate in one practice run which does not involve multiple failures. The purpose of these runs is to ensure that all participants are throughly familiar with the validation process in real time. (~/3 N_ CONTINUED
[ v- 4.0 ASSESSMENT PHASE This phase comprises the actual test scenario runs on the simulator, and the debriefings following the runs. Validation data will be recorded. 4.1 The preparation phase will be complete prior to starting this phase, and all necessary materials will be available. Only observers will be informed of the specific test scenarios for each run. 4.2 For each test scenario, the following sequence will be observed:
- a. Simulator initialization
- b. Operating crew briefing on plant status and operating instructions
- c. Recording equipment synchronization
- d. Test scenario activation
- e. Operator response to plant condition n
(_) f. Scenario termination by observation team leader at appropriate time
- g. Data assembly and debriefing session
~4.3 Debriefing Sessions
- Immediately after each test scenario, a debriefing session will be conducted for the operating crew and observation team. The debriefing should use the following sequence
- a. Operators present problems which they identified during the runs
- b. Operators provide possible reasons for problems they identified
- c. Observers present any other problems which they identified
- d. Operators provide reasons for these other problems
,, e. Summarize the findings of the debriefing The audio-visual recordings may be available for the debriefings. The observation team will record all pertinent problems and comments.
CONTINUED (
i% d- 5.0 RESOLUTION PHASE This phase.will involve review and resolution of all noted deviations. It will include analysis of plant transienc data necessary to clarify the context of a deviation or to suggest a resolution. Out of this phase will come statements of EOP set validity, and validation results for individual procedures. The resolution phase will be performed by the observation team-and selected members of the operations staff. 6.0 DOCUMENTATION PHASE Documentation for the Validation Program will include: e Summary of.the program o Data taken during test runs e Summary of test scenarios as run on the - simulator e Listing of deviations and resolutions e Recommendations for improvements in training i

'#~ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE E0P TRAINING PROGRAM To ensure appropriate knowledge and proper application of VEGP's Emergency Operating Procedures (E0Ps), the Training Department will develop a program of instruction for our license candidates. The course will consist of both classroom and simulator instruction phases:
A. Classroom Instruction Phase - Lectures or discussions on
-these topics:
- 1. Bases - the students will
- a. Learn the intent, and the philosophy and harmony of use of the Optimal Recovery Procedures (0RPs),
and the Critical Safety Function Status Trees and Functional Restoration Procedures (FRPs). The event-oriented nature of the ORPs, and the symptom-oriented nature of the FRPs will be elucidated,
- b. Become acquainted with the method and material n used to develop the E0Ps from the generic U Westinghouse Owner's Group (WOG) Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS),
- c. Understand the rationale for the content and order of the steps of the E0Ps as presented in the W0G ERG Background Documemts. (The depth to which this is presented, and the specific procedures to be used will be determined.)
- 2. Immediate Actions - the students will
- a. Understand the reasons for timely execution of immediate actions,
- b. Memorize the immediate action steps of all E0Ps.
-3. Subsequent Actions - the students will
- a. Learn how follow-up actions are used to either bring the plant to a stable condition or restore functional capacity.
- b. Be required to describe how the subsequent actions achieve these objectives, but will not have to n memorize the steps.

.- 4. Applicability - through study c' the symptoms (and entry points from other procedures) the students will i
- understand the circumstances under which a given !
procedure should be invoked.
- B. ~ Simulator Instruction Phase - There will be simulator walk-b through and exercises to demonstrate ability in the following areas:
' l. . Symptom a'nd Accident Identification t
.2. Immediacy of Response .
' 3. Proced'ure Follow-up
. 4. Multiple Casualty' Response
; 5. Critical Safety Function Status Tree review, and FRP 1 use F As a minimum, the simulator. phase will cover the major o E0Ps,-and train the individual for the position for which he is a candidate.
t +
'O~ In addition, the Training Department' will implement a requalification program to ensure that license candidates maintain proficiency in their knowledge and use'of E0Ps, and update the candidates on any changes to the
^
COPS. This requalification program will ensure that each E0P is addressed
- at.least every two years.
To demonstrate competency in this training program, a student must maintain an 80% average on classroom exams, with no single exam being less
- than 70%. . In addition, each student must participate in and successfully complete a simulator examination. Failure to meet the above criteria will require the student to participate in a retraining program, of either formal or self-study, until satisfactory completion.
The described training program will be initially handled as a special e , course of instruction. It will eventually be incorporated as a part of
' the biannual requalification program.
