If the component or system is not covered by a surveillance procedure and a special functional test is not performed, a return to service functional ,

inspection should be performed. The inspection should address items such as the followings

a. Mechanical coupling,

b. Blind flanges installed / removed,

c. Electrical connections, l d.- Area cleanliness, l e. Valve alignment,

f. Proper lubrication,

g. System integrity,

h. Function of remotely operatud valves.

4.0 PLANT OPERATING PROCEDURES 4.1 PROCEDURE COMPLIANC".

4.1.1 Operating personnel will follow approved plant procedures as directed by 00054-C, " Rules For Performing Procedures".

/.1.2 in emergencies, Operations personnel are directed to take such action as is necessary to minimize personnel injury and damage to the plants to return the plant to a atable, safe conditions and to protect the health and safety of the general public and personnel on alte.

4.2 PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTATION 4.2.1 Procedures for other than simple, frequently merformed operations shall be followed step-by-step witi the procedure present. Many procedures will require signoffs. Routine procedural actions that are frequently performed may not necessitate the presence of a procedure, If the operator is not completely familiar with the procedural action to be performed, the procedure must be present. Immediate operator actions of emergency procedures shall be committed to memory.

4.2.2 Independent Verifications required by procedures which do not have signoff spaces shall be documented using 11879-C. " Independent Verification Documentation tog Sheet".

4.2.3 If an evolution is suspended for an extended period of time, reverification of the initial conditions is required.

4.3 SYSTEM LINEUPS AND SYSTEM STATUS FILE System lineups establish and confirm the status of equipment and nystems. The current lineup for each system is maintained in a system status file. The file contains the mont recent comalete lineup and those partial lineups performed subsequently which collectively reflect the current status of the entire system.

4.3.1 Complete system lineups are 1erformed as directed in unit operating procedures. Partia? lineups are performed on portions of systems inside clearance boundaries, after clearances are released, when directed by the Shift Supervisor. Partial lineupe are also performed on portions of systems affected by procedure revisions when directed by the Operations Superintendent (Shift Operations). Comalete or lineupsmaybeperformndwhendirectedbytheUSbartial .

4.3.2 Lineups should be performed in sequence identified in Lineup procedure unless otherwise directed by the USS.

4.3.3 The operntor shall compare the ponition of the component with the position required on the alignment, and initial in the spaces provided. Unless instructed otherwise, he shall reposition any component found ne' to be as required. Control valve position is serifi6.

by ensuring that power or air, as appropriate, is availabic to the valve operator and that no physical obstructions that could prevent operation are apparent.

4.3.4 All componento left in other than the condition required shall be noted on the comments section of each alignment procedure and the reason for the exception shall be entered.

4.3.5 Independent position verification shall be performed in l accordance with 00308-C, " Independent Verification l Policy" and Sub-nubsection 4.2.2.

The original lineup is placed in the syatem status file. Superceded lineuss are forwarded to Document Control. Care must be taken when removing lineups from the file to ensure that the file reflects the current status of the systems (e.g., partial lineups can supercede only partial lineups u. the same componentsi can only supercede complete lineups if,collectively, partial lineups they constitute a complete lineup.)
