Following maintenance on or modification to a-system or component, Operations shall verify the operable condition af.that system or component.
Verification may be by functionally testing or by surveillance tasting.
If the component or system is not covered by a surveillanen procedure and-a special functional test is not performed, a return to service functional inspection should be performed.
The inspu tier should address items such as the following:
a.
Mechanical r;;upling, b.
Blind flangen installed / removed, c.
Electrical connections, d.
Area cleanliness, e.
Valve alignment, f.
Proper lubrication, g.
System integrity,

4.0 PLANT OPERATING PROCEDURES 4.1 PROCEDURE COMPLIANCE 4.1.1 Operating personnel vill follow approved plant proc 2dures as directed by 00054-C, " Rules For I
Performing Procedures".
4.1.2 In emergencies, Operatione personnel are directed to take such action as i s necessary to minimize personnel injury and damage to the plants to return the plant to a stable, safe conditions and to protect the health and safety of the general public and personnel on site.
4.1.3 In emergencies, personnel may take reasonable action that departs from a license condition or a Technical Specificatiots then this action ic immediately r.eeded to l
protect the public health and safety and no action i
consistent with license conditions and Technical Specifications that can provide adequate or equivalent l
protection is immedately apparent.
4.1.4 Personnel action permitted by Paragraph 4.1.3 shall be l
approved, as a minimum, by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator prior to taking the action.
'.2 PROCEDURE-IMPLEMENTATION L
4.2.l Proceduras for other than simple, frequently performed l
operations shall be followed step-by-step with the precedure present, Many procedures will require signoffs.
Routine procedural actions than 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, i
the procedure must be present.
Immediate operator actions-of emergency procedures shall ue committed to memory.
4.2.2 Independent Verificatior.s required by procedures which do not have signoff spaces shall be documented using l\\
11879-C, " Independent Verification Documentation Log o d Sheet".

4.2.3 If an evolution is sus ended for an~ extended period of
\\I time, reverification o the initial conditions is required.
4a3 SYSTEM LINEUPS AND SYSTEM STATUS FILE System lineups establish and confirm the status of equipment and systems.
The current lineup for each system is maintained in a system status file.
Ine file contains the most recent complete lineup and those partial lineups performed subsequently which collectively reflect the current status of the entire system.
4.3.1 Complete system lineups are performed as directed in unit operating procedures.
Partial lineups are aerformed on portions of systems inside clearance
- oundaries, after clearances are released, when directed by the Shift Supervisor, Partial linsups are also performed on portions of systems affected by procedure revisions when direcred by the Operations Superintendent.
Complete or partial lineups may be performed when directed by the USS.
4.3.2 Each system lineup will be performed at least every 30 f
motiths.
The Operations Manager or his designee will
(_j designate system lineups that will'be performed prior to unit startup following cold shutdown.
Any exceptions to this policy will be approved by the Assistant General Manager - Operations.
4,3.?
Lineups should be performe6 in sequence identified in Lineup procedure unless otherwise directed by the USS.
4.3.4 The operator shall compare the position of the-component with the condition recuired on the alignment, and initial.in the smaces -provic.ed.
Report components found not to be in tie required position to the USS for evaluation prior to repositioning to the condition required.
Control valve position is verified by ensuring that power-or' air, aa' appropriate, is available to the valve-cperator and that no physical obstructions that could prevent operatinn are apparent.
4.3.5 All components 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.
4.3.6 While performing lineups, the operator should compare the component tag with the alignuent procedure
(
component I.D. and description.
Discrepancies should be noted on the comments section of the alignment procedure.

4.3.7 Independent-position verification shall be performed in accordance with 00308-C, " Independent Verification Policy" and Sub-subsection 4.2.2.
4.3 8 The USS or SSS shall review the completed system lineup for completeness and to ensure exceptions do not warrant further corrective action.
The original lineup is placed in the system status file.
Superceded lineuas are. forwarded co Document Cent;ol.
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 on the same components: partial lineups can only supercede complete lineups if, collectively, they constitute a complete lineup.)
4.4 SURVEILLANCE TESTING 4.4.1 Operations Surveillence Tests 4.4.1.1 The Operations Department shall perform, document and review operations surveillance tests.
4.4.1.2 The approval of the USS shall be obtained before utarting each surveillance test.
The operator performing the test shall record information as I
tN required by the test procedure and initial each step as
(,,)
it is completed.
He shall sign and date the procedure upon completion of the test.
If a step is not completed the explanation shall be recorded on the procedure.
If a test does not meet the specified acceptance criteria, the USS shall be notified and corrective action initiated.
l 4.4.1.3 The Shift Superintendent (SS) or USS chall review all l
l operations surveillance tests performed on his shift i
for completeness and accuracy. He shall indicate his review by signing and dating the procedure in the appropriate space.
4.4.1.4 Refer to 00404-C, " Surveillance Test Program" for method of tracking Tech. Spec, surveillance tests during normal conditions.
4.4.2 Special Condition or Off-No~c.al Surveillance Requirements I
The USS chall ensure 14915-1/2, "Special Condition Surveillance Logs" is or has been initiated as required to comply with Technical Specifications in conditional or off-normni' situations.
