SECTION 1 Introduction I. The Procedures Generation Package (PGP) has been developed in response to Supplement 1 of NUREG-0737, part 7.2.b. Its purpose is to describe the process for translating generic Westinghouse Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS) into plant specific Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). This description includes the work necessary to complete the initial draft of the function-oriented E0Ps and for maintaining these E0Ps after implementation.

II. The PGP consists of the following sections:

SECTION 2 Initial Emergency Operating Procedure Development

1. Plant Specific Technical Guidelines A. The generic Westinghouse Owners Group ERGS, Rev. 1, dated September 1, 1983, which are based on the re-analysis of transients and accidents as described in NUREG-0737 item 1.C.1, will be used as the technical guidelines from which plant specific E0Ps will be drafted. The resulting E0Ps will direct operator actions to mitigate the consequences of plant accidents and transients while maintaining the plant in a safe condition without the need for prior diagnoses of the event.

B. The following major items were considered in the methodology used in translating the Westinghouse ERGS into plant specific E0Ps:

1. Identification of design differences between the Westinghouse reference plant and Beaver Valley Unit 2.

These differences are itemized in Section 5.

2. Mechanics of conversion

3. Plant specific technical information

4. Documentation requirements

5. Use of background documents supplied with the technical guidelines

6. Best use of extensive operating experience.

C. Mechanics of Conversion

1. The designated E0P writers obtained and reviewed the following E0P source documents appropriate to the specific procedure generated.

a. Westinghouse Owners Group, Emergency Response Guidelines Revision 1, dated September 1, 1983.

b. Corresponding Westinghouse Owners Group Background Documents (Procedure specific, and Generic Issues),

c. Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 Final Safety Analysis Report.

d. Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

e. As built plant drawings.

u

7 n -

2. -The-EOP draft was generated in accordance with the EOP Writers Guide contained in Section 3 Appendix A.

a. By following the guidelines found in the generic ERGS and the EOP Writers Guide, the resulting draf t EOPs have been prepared utilizing acceptable human factors principles.

b. The direct involvement of a human factors special-ist during the CRDR will further ensure the cor-rect application of human factors principles as applied to the draft EOPs during performance of the CRDR.

3. The designated E0P writer genera ted EOP drafts, attempting to follow to the maximum extent pos sible ,

the ERGS. A step by step correspondence between the draf t EOP and the ERG, although ideal, is most probably C not pos s ib le . It was therefore import ant that the writer; attempt to maintain consistency of intent between the EOP and the ERG, while incorporating those deviations deemed necessary to account for:

a. Equipment / plant condition dif ferences between the ERG reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

b. Licensing commitments for BVPS Unit 2.

c. Resolutions of deficiencies identified by the BVPS EOP Verification or Validation Programs.

d. Recommendations obtained from . BV-1 operator expe -

rience. .

4. " The EOP : writer will document all deviations as ident i-fie in Step ' 3 - above on the "EOP-ERG Deviation Form"

.(Figure 53.B-1 in Section 3). This documentation is necessary to:

a. Provide required information during .EOP verifica-

~ tion.

b. Provide required basis information during future EO revision.

c. Provide documentation to allow for adequate evalu-stion' of the safety significance .of- the deviation during review prior to final approval.

Provide justificat ion for the deviation' during

~

d.

vali dation of the EOP.

, s

e. Demonstrate to the NRC, upon request, that all deviations to the ERGS have been recorded and the safety significance of each has been determined.

NOTE: Examples of deviations that do not constitute a change in mitigation strategy include:

- changes in wording to clarify the intent of a step

- change in step order to accommodate plant design

- deletion of a step to accommodate plant design

- addition of a step to accommodate plant design

- addition of notes, cautions or steps based on existing operating procedures, operator experience, or plant license commitments

5. If a significant deviation is determined to exist during the review, it can remain as part of the E0P provided an analysis has been prepared for review that demonstrate that the deviation is acceptable and that the plant can be brought to a safe condition.

a. A deviation which has safety significance (significant deviation) shall be reported to the NRC along with the analysis or technical justification.

6. The POP writer will generate a background document providing a step by step description of the EOP in accordance with the BVPS Unit 2 EOP Background Document Writers Guide. (Appendix B of Section 3.)

D. Control Room Instrumentation and Centrols

1. The generic ERGS have as their basis, the re-analysis of transients and accidents from which the operator information and control needs necessary for mitigation of the events were identified. Consistency will be maintained between the operator information and control needs identified in the generic ERGS and the draft E0Ps.

2. The CRDR task analysis, which includes a verification of instrumentation activity, will utilize the draft E0Ps in order to:

> a.- - identify the ch aract eristics of the ins trument a-tion _ and controls needed to satisfy the operators information and control requirements..

s

b. determine the availability and suitability of existing instruments and controls to satisfy these requirements.

3. _ The CRDR task analysis will be doc'uunt ed to provide fe ed- '

back to the EOP development ef fort and resolve any resulting human engineering deficiencies in ac cordance with the CRDR Program Plan.

Tr?

'4. Deviations to 'the ERG background document equipment qualifi-cation statements need not be addressed as this issue is being documented separately under 10CFR50.49 and the review of instrumentation identified in Regulatory Guide 1.97. To do - so could influence the EOP development objective for maintaining ' consistency between the generic ERGS and draf t EOPs.

a. . The results of the approved Regulatory Guide 1.97, Rev.

2, review of the NRC's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for EV-2 will . provide feedback to the operation instru-

' mentation and control requirement , if required.

b. Additilonal' deviations may be identified by the review of the NRC's SER and as such will be reviewed to deter-mine their safety significance. ,

-II., -

Program for Verification / Validation A. The programs - for verification and ' validation provide assur-ance that each draft E0P is:

1.- Technically correct in that it accurately reflects the

. generic technical guidelines.

2. Written correctly in that it accurately reflects the E0P Writers Guide.

3. -Useable in that the procedure can be understood and followed by -trained ope rato rs , 'without confusion, delays or errors.

4. Operationally correct in that there is a corre spo n-dence bet **een the procedure and the control room / plant hardware, and that the language and level of informa-tion presented in' the E0P is compatible with the mini-

1. . mum number, qualification, training and experience of the operating staff. i

5. Capab le of directing the operating staff in managing emergency' conditions.

L

'y

n b

f B. The verification program is described in Appendix F of Section 3.

k-

1. The detailed . instructions of.this program provides the administrative process to be followed in determining if I('~

each E0P .is technically correct and written correctly.

This verification program includes:

L a. a process for identifying discrepancies

b. a process for resolving discrepancies

c. a feedback mechanism for evaluating changes to the E0P which may result from the verification process 3, 2. This verification program was prepared following guidance contained in the Emergency Operating Procedures

-Verification Guidelines written by the Emergency Operating Procedures Implementation Assistance (EOPIA)

Review Group and published by INPO.

C. The validation program includes: table ^op, control room

. walk-through and simulator validation.

1. The validation programs provide .the administrative process to be followed in determining if the procedure

- is useable and operationally correct. The validation program includes:

a. a process for identifying discrepancies

b. a process for resolving discrepancies

c. a feedback mechanism for evaluating changes to the E0P which may result from the validation process.

2. All three programs will be used for validating E0Ps with one exception:

Due to the dual licensing concept sought by BVPS, the BVPS-1/BVPS-2 E0Ps will be duplicated as much as possible while allowing for plant specific differences.

BVPS-1 simulator validated E0Ps will be used when possible to validate the BVPS-2 E0Ps and plant specific differences which cannot be simulated by the BVPS-1 simulator will receive exte.nsive table-top validation and control room walk-through validation.

3. Detailed instructions for each of the validation r programs are included in Section 3. Each E0P will be i validated using at least one of the following methods:

a. Table-Top Validation; Appendix C, Section 3 L._

)

1

b. Control Room Walk-Through Validation; Appendix D, 1 Section 3 ,

c. E0P Validation on the Simulator; Appendix E, Section 3 4 .' The criteria for selecting scenarios, when used, will be developed as part of the CRDR to assure procedures can be used by the operators in the control room with minimum shift staffing. The following bases will be used to select the final set of event sequences when developing a scenario so that:

a. .They represent the example events that are recommended for analysis in Section 3.8 of NUREG-0700 as determined applicable.

b. They represent a good cross-section of the operation of safety-related systems and equipment,

c. They _ represent event sequences from Section 15 (Accident Analysis) of the FSAR.

d. They represent a good cross-section of the events to which specific human factors engineering evaluation. criteria can be applied for which significant problem areas were identified during the CRDR operating experience review.

5. This validation program was prepared following the guidelines contained in the Emergency Operating Procedures Validation Guidelines written by the Emergency Operating Procedures Implementation Assistance (EOPIA) Review Group and published'by INPO.

BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume VI. INSTRUCTIONS A. The development of E0Ps, E0P revisions, or revision to E0P supporting documents (eg., administrative procedures, background information, etc.) shall be identified by the NSOS or his designee.

1. This type of activity will normally be initiated by:

a. action by the WOG-ERG subcommittee

b. plant modifications

c. plant procedures revision

d. feedback from plant operators or training group.

2. An E0P writer designated by the NSOS or his designee shall generate a draft E0P or E0P rev,ision in accordance with the following guidance: .

a. Obtain and review appropriate E0P source documents for the E0P being generated to assure previous conclusions reached and assumptions made during the initial drafting of the E0P is not invalidated.

• WOG-ERG (most hurrent approved revision)

• WOG-ERG Background Documents (procedure specific and generic issues)

~

• BVPS Unit 2 FSAR

• BVPS Unit 2 Technical Specifications

• BVPS Unit 2 Operating Manual

• Previous E0P draft deviation sheets

• As built plant drawings (eg., P&ID, elementaries)

• Additional information as appropriate

b. Any revision to the E0Ps not initiated by the WOG must be reviewed against the source documents.

This is to assure the mitigation strategy is maintained and that a deviation significant to safety is not incorporated which could invalidate the analysis which forms the basis for the acceptability of the symptom based ECPs.

PRELIM ISSUE REV 0

g BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume

c. Follow to the maximum extent possible the ERGS or guidance provided by the WOG for all revisions to the E0Ps initiated by an ERG revision. This avoids, if possible, significant deviations which

. constitute a change in mitigation strategy. A step-by-step correspondence between the E0P draft and the ERG, although ideal, will most probably not be possible. Therefore, it is important that the writer ' attempt to maintain correspondence of intent, while incorporated those deviations deemed necessary to account for:

! 1) Known equipment / plant condit. ion differences between the ERG reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

2) Resolutions of deviations identified in previous Ve'rification and Validation efforts.

3) BVPS 2 licensing commitments.

4) Operations deparement recommendations.

d. Generate the draft or revision in accordance with the ." Writers Guide for . Emergency Operating

- Procedures", Appendix A of this procedure,

e. Draft' a background information document or revise the existing background information document in accordance with " Writers Guide for E0P Background Information",. Appendix B of this procedure.

f. . Document any deviations between the ERGS and

.the E0P on the "EOP-ERG Deviation Form" t (Figure 53.B-1). This documentation is required to:

'1) Provide required information during E0P

.c verifications.

I "

, 2)- Provide required basis information for future E0P revisions.

' 3 ) .. l Provide -documentation to allow for adequate evaluation of the safety significance of the deviation during the E0P review prior to final

? -approval.

4). Provide -justification of the deviation during validation of the E0P.

BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume

Note

Examples of deviations that do not constitute a change in mitigation strategy include, but not limited to:

• Changes in wording to clarify step intent.

• Changes in step order to accomodate plant design.

• Delet' ion or addition of steps to accomodate

. plant design.

• Addition of Notes, Cautions or Steps based on existing operating procedures, experience or.

licensing commitments.

3. All draft E0Ps or revisions to existing E0Ps shall undergo a procedure validation prior to implementation.

a. Validation will demonstrate that the ' operating staff can manage the emergency. condition through the E0P's use and the E0P is operationally correct in respect to the following:

1) Usability -

i.e., the E0P can be understood and followed by trained operators, without confusion, delays or errors.

2) Technically correct -

i.e., there is a correspondence between the E0P and the control room / plant hardware.

3) Operationally correct - i.e., the language and level of information presented in the E0P is compatible with the minimum number, qualifications, training and experience of the operating staff.

4) Effective - i.e., there is a high level of assurance that the procedure will work.

b. The NSOS or his designee shall determine the extent and duration of the E0P validation effort. This determination should be based on the complexity and scope of the draft or revision, but must address

.the usability, technical and operational correctness, and the effectiveness as described above.

c. The validation evaluation criteria (Table 53.B-1) should be utilized when selecting specific methods PRELIM ISSUE REV 0

? \

BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume of validation. The validation effort will consist of either a table-top, walk-through or simulator method of validation OR a combination of those methods.

1) The validation method and evaluation criteria shall be documented on the " Validation Evaluation Criteria", form-(Figure 53.B-2) for each draft E0P or E0P revision.

d. Detailed instructions for performance and documentation of each method of validation are contained in:

1) Appendix C, " Detailed Instructions for Performance of Table-Top Validation".

2) Appendix D, " Detailed Instructions for Performance of Control Room Walk-Through Validation".

3) Appendix E, " Detailed Instructions for Performance of E0P Validation on the Simulator".

4. All draft E0Ps or E0P revisions shall undergo crocedure verification prior to implementation.

a. Verification of the E0Ps will assute that consistency has been maintained between EOP source documents and the E0Ps by determining that they are:

1) Technically correct, i.e., they accurately reflect the generic technical guidelines.

( 2)~ ' Written correctly, i.e., they accurately i; follow the guidance of the " Writers Guide for Emergency Operating Procedures", Appendix A of this procedure.

4) Symptoms or Entry Conditions; which includes 5 s only those alarms, indications,. operating conditions, automatic system actions, or other unique conditions that the, operator is to consider in deciding to use the EOP.

12 Operator Actions Section

a. .The ~ remaining section of the procedure is the Operator Acticns Section which shall contain the following sections:

1) STEP; the actions or expected responses shall be numbered using alpha-numeric convention in a sequential order with circled steps indicating IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS.

~

2) . ACTION / EXPECTED RESPONSE; operator actions and expected plant responses should be short concise identificable instructions that provide appropriate directions for the user.

IV. ' WRITING ~ INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS A. Instruction Step Length and Content 1.- ' Instructions should be short'and concise. Genral rules to'be used-in meeting these objectives are as follows:

a. Instruction' steps should deal with only one idea.

b. Short, simple sentences should be used in preference to long, compound, or complex sentences, c._ Complex evolutions should be prescribed in a series l of- steps, with each step made as simple as practicable.

d. Objects of operator actions should be specifically stated. This includes identification of exactly what is to be done and to what.

e. Limits should be expressed quantitatively whenever possible.

f. Mandatory sequence of steps is assumed unless otherwise stated.

g. Identification of components and parts should be complete.

h. Instruction content should be written to communicate to the user.

1. Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated.

j. When actions are required based upon receipt of an annunciated alarm, list the setpoint of the alarm for ease of verification.

k. When requiring resetting or restoration of an alarm or trip, list the expected results immediately following the resetting or restoratAon if it would be beneficial to the operator.

1. When considered beneficial to the user for proper understanding and performance, describe the system response time associated with performance of the instruction.

m. When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, prescribe such time frame. If possible, however, avoid using time to initiate operator actions.

Operator actions should be related to plant parameters,

n. Units of measure specified in procedural steps shall be consistent with actual units used on plant instruments.

o. When anticipated system response may adversely effect instrument indications, describe the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and means of determining if instrument error has occured by using a NOTE.

p. When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the backup readings to be made.

'B. Instruction Column

1. The left column of the dual-column format will contain the operator instructional steps. The following rules are established for this column, in addition to the general rules above.

a. Expected indications should be presented in this column.

b. Operator actions in this column should be appropriate for the expected indications.

C. Response Not Obtained Column

1. Contingency actions will be presented in the right column of the dual-column format. Contingency actions are operator actions that should be taken in the event a stated condition, event or task does not represent ,or achieve the expected result. The need for contingency action occurs in' conjunction with. tasks involving verification, observation, confirmation and monitoring.

2. Contingency ~

actions will be specified for each circumstances in which the expected results or actions might not be achieved. The contingency actions should identify, as appropriate, directions to override automatic controls and to initiate manually what is normally automatically initiated.

D. Use of Logic Terms

1. The logic terms AND, QR, NOT, IF, IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are necessary.to describe precisely a set of conditions

.or sequence of actions. When logic statements are used, logic terms will be highlighted so that all the conditions are clear to the operator. Emphasis will be achieved by using capitilization and underlining. All letters of the logic terms shall be capitalized and the logic term shall be underlined.

2. The use of AND and QR within the same action should be avoided. When AND.and OR are used together, the logic can be very ambiguous.

3. The dual-column format used equates to the logic, IF NOT the action in the left column, THEN follow the action specified .in the right column. Refer to Figure 53.B-5.

PRELIM ISSUE REV 0 u

v_ _

BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1

. Executive Volume APPENDIX A

4. Use other logic terms as follows:

a. When attention should be called to combinations of

, -1 conditions, the word AND should be placed between the description of each condition. The word AND should not be used to join more than .three conditions.

If four or more conditions need to be joined, a list format should be used.

9: ,

b. The word OR should be used when calling attention to alternative combinations of conditions. The use of the word OR should alcays be in the inclusive sense. To specify the exclusive "0R" the following may be used: "either A OR B but not both".

c. When action steps are contingent upon certain conditions or combinations, the step shall begin with the word IF or WHEN followed by a description of. the condition or conditions (the antecedent), a comma, the word THEN followed by the action to be taken .(the consequent). WHEN is used for an expected condition. IF is used for an unexpected but possible condition.

d. Use- of' IF NOT should be limited to those cases in

-which the operator must. respond to the second of two possible conditions. IF should be used to specify-the first condition.

e. THEN should not be used at the end of an action step to instruct-the operator to perform the next-step because it runs actions together.

E. Use'of Cautionary Information and Notes

-1. Because the' present' action-step wording is reduced to.

the minimum essential, certain additional information is-sometimes desired, or necessary, and cannot be'merely included in. training. This non-action information is presented as either a NOTE or a CAUTION.

u a. - CAUTION describes some potential hazard to personnel. or . equipment associated with the following instructional step.

b. NOTE .is used to present advisory or administrative information necessary to support the following action instruction.

PRELIM ISSUE REV 0

?'

v:n BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume APPENDIX A

2. The' entire contents of a CAUTION or NOTE should be able to be read completely without interruption by intervening steps and shall be completed on the same page started.

3. CAUTIONS and NOTES should be accurate and concise.

4.- The following format shall be used to denote a CAUTION:

a. To distinguish a CAUTION from action steps, a box composed of astrisks will outline the CAUTION information and will extend across the entire page as shown in Figure 53.B-5.

b. .The word CAUTION shall be underlined and printed in large type.

c. The CAUTION information will immediately precede the. step to which it applies.

d. Multiple statements included under a single descriptive heading shall be separetly identified.

5. The following format shall be used to denote a NOTE:

a. To distinguish a NOTE from action steps and CAUTION information, the NOTE shall be enclosed in boxes (framing) and will extend across the entire page as shown in Figure 53.B-5.

b. The word NOTE shall be underlined and printed in large type,

c. The NOTE will immediately precede the step to which it applies.

d. Multiple statements included under single descriptor heading shall be separately identified.

6. As a general rule, neither a CAUTION or NOTE will be used to replace an instruction / operator action step.

However, procedure transitions can be included as non-action information in a NOTE when absolutely necessary.

F. Calculations

1. Mathematical calculations should be avoided in the E0Ps.

If a value has to be determined in order to perform a PRELIM ISSUE REV 0

m e

BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume APPENDIX A procedural step, a chart or graph should be used whenever possible.

G. Referencing and Branching to Other Procedures or Steps

1. Referencing implies that an' additional procedure or

, additional steps will be used as a supplement to the procedure presently being used.

a. Referencing other steps within the procedure being used, either future steps or completed steps, should be minimized.

b .~ .When only a few steps would be involved in the

. referencing, the steps- should be stated in the procedure as they are needed.

2. -To minimize potential operator confusion, branching will be used when the operator is to leave one procedure or step and use another procedure or step.

a. Use the key words."GO T0" to direct the operator to leave the present step and not return until Jdirected.

b. Specify .information ~as to procedure and step

' directed to.

3. -Use the key words " Refer to" when the operator is directed to use a procedure'or attachment as a guideline concurrently with.the procedure in use.

O '4; Use quotation marks to 2emphasize the title of the referenced or< branched procedure; examples: GO-TO E-1,

" Loss of Reactor Coolant"; GO T0 Step 20.

6 H. 1 Component Identification

1. With. respect :to' identificat' ion. of components, the

-following rules are to be followed:

[r p--

( a. Equipment, . controls, and displays will be h identified in operator language (common usage) h;4J terms. These terms may not always match engraved y

names on panels but will be complete.

b. When the engraved. names and numbers on- panel placards and alarm windows- are specifically the item of concern in the procedure, the~ engraving t- >

should be quoted verbatim and emphasized by using

all capitals.

- c. The ' names of plant system titles are emphasized by initial, capitalization.,When the word " system" is

. deleted ,from 1the' title because of brevity and is understood because of the context, the title is also emphasized by initial capitalization.

'd. If. the component is seldom used, or if it.is felt-that.the component would be difficult to find, the benchmark- information should be specified in brackets and location information should follow.

Example: [2 SIS *MOV864A] at BB-A I. Level of Detail'

'E 1. Too' much : detail in E0Ps should be avoided in the interest - of . being able- to effectively execute the instructions .in a timely manner. The level of detail required is the detail that a newly trained and licensed operator would desire during emergency conditions.

~2. To assist: in determining the level of E0P detail, the-Efo11owing general rules apply.

a. Fo'r control circuitry. that executes an entire

' function upon actuation'of the control switch, the action'_ verb appropriate to the-component suffices without further' amplification of how to manipulate the- control device; for example "CLOSE Pressurizer L

-Spray Valves [2RCS-7CV455A(455B)]". . Recommended action verbs are as follows:

• For power-driven rotating equipment, use START, STOP.

• For valves, use OPEN, CLOSE, or THROTTLE.

• For power distribution breakers, use SYNCHRONIZE,

'CLOSE, and OPEN.

• For control switches with a positional placement that establishes a standby readiness condition, the verb " Set".should be used, along with the engraved name of the desired' position. Positional placements are typically named "AUT0" or " NORMAL"; for example, L SET PORV control switches in AUTO.

PRELIM ISSUE REV 0

. - . - -_- -.__.-.,,.,,,_-4

+.-,.,-w...

n -

L BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.1 Executive Volume APPENDIX A

• For multiposition control switches that have more than one position for a similar function, placement to the desired position should be specified; for example, " Place Sample Return Valve Control Switch in NORMAL".

• Standard practices for observing for abnormal results need not be prescribed within procedural steps.

For example, observation of noise, vibration, erratic flow, or discharge pressure need not be specified by steps that start pumps.

J. Printed Operator Aids

1. When information is presented using graphs, charts, tables, and figures, these aids must be self explanatory, legible and readable under the expected conditions of use' and within the reading precision of the operator.

2. Units of Measure i a. Units of measure on figures, tables, and attachments should be given for numerical values that represent observed, measurement data, or calculated results. A virgule (slant line) should be. used instead of "per". For example: ft/sec.,

lbs/hr., etc.

^

3. Titles and headings

a. Capitalization should be used for reference to tables, figures, titles of tables, figures within text. material,'and column headings within a table.

Examples: Refer to Figure 201 for . . .

as shown in Table 20 . . .

Equipment Power Supplies, etc.

V. MECHANICS OF STYLE A '. ~ Spelling

. l. Spelling should be consistent with modern usage. When a choise of spelling is offered by a dictionary, the first spelling should be used.

B. Punctuation-

.i. Punctuation should be used- only as necessary to aid reading and prevent misunderstandings. Word order

. > should be selected-to require a minimum of punctuation.

When extensive punctuation is necessary for clarity, the sentence should be rewritten and possibly made into several sentences. Punctuation should be in accordance with:the following rules:

a. Brackets - shall be used to indicate equipment benchmark numbers.- (i.e., [2RSS*I'21A(P21B)(P21C)(P21D)] .

b. Colon -

shall be used to indicate that a list of items is to follow, for example: Restore cooling flow as follows:.....

c. -Comma -

Use of many commas is a sign the instruction is too complex and needs to be rewritten. Therefore, evaluate the number of commas to' ensure the instruction is not too complex. Use a comma after conditional phrases for PRELIM ISSUE REV 0 v

BVPS'- E0P 2.53.B.1

. Executive Volume APPENDIX A clarity and ease of reading. Example: WHEN level decreases to 60 inches, THE_N start pump ....

'd. Parentheses - shall be used to indicate alternative

. items in a procedure or instruction. Usually denotes B train components (i.e.,

[2 SIS *MOV836A(8363)].

e. Periods -

shall be used at the end of complete sentences and for indicting the decimal place in numbers.

f. Capitalization - shall be used to emphasize the directing of equipment operation, for example:

CLOSE PRZR PORV(s). "GO T0" shall be capitalized I when directing branching to other procedures. All accronyms and logic words shall be captialized.

g. Hyphenation -

shall be used between elements of a

. compound word'when standard usage calls for it.

When . doubt exists, the compound word should be restructured to avoid hyphenation.

C. Use of Underlining

1. Underlining will be used for emphasis of the following items:

a. The major task defined in each step.

b. Logic terms (i.e., ,IF, THEN, IF NOT, etc.)

c. Heading's of _ CAUTIONS and NOTES (i.e., CAUTION, NOTE).

d '. Headings of l Attachments, and . columns in attachments' .

D. Vocabulary 1; Words used . in procedures should convey precise understanding for. a trained person. The following rules apply:

a. Use simple words. Simple words are usually short 4

words offfew syllables, Use common usage if it makes the procedure easier b.

to understand.

E.- Numerical Values

1. The use of numerical values should be consistent with the following rules:

a. Arabic numerals should be used.

b. Far-' numbers less than unity, the decimal point

< should be preceded by a zero; for example 0.1.

c. The number of significant digits should be equal to the number of significant digits available from the display and the reading precision of the operator.

d. 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:

510F maximum; 300 psig minimum; 580 to 600F. For calibration points, statement of the midpoint and its lower and upper limits would accomplish the same purpose: For example: 10 mil 11 amperes (9.5 to 10.5). Avoid using i.

e. Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables. They should be the same as those used on the control room displays, for example: psig instead of psi.

F. Abbreviations, Letter Symbols, And Acronyms

1. The use of abbreviations should be minimized because they may be confusing to those who are not throughly familiar with them. Abbreviations may be used where necessary to save time and space, and when their meaning unquestionably is clear to the intended reader.

Consistency should be maintinaed through the procedure.

2. Capitalization of abbreviations should be uniform. If 1 the abbreviation is comprised of lower case letters, it L should appear in lowercase in a title or heading. The period should be omitted in abbreviations except in cases where the omission would result in confusion.

3. Letter symbols may be used to represent operations, qualities, elements, relations and quantities.

4. An acronym is a type of symbol formed by the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or

major parts of a compound term. Acronyms may be used if

( they are defined, or commonly used.

V

5. Abbreviations, symbols, and acronyms should not be g

overused. Their use should be for the benefit of the p reader. They can be beneficial by saving reading time, ensuring clarity when space is limited and communicating mathematical ideas.

-Executive Volume INTRODUCTION - RECOVERY / RESTORATION TECHNIQUES BVPS - E0P 2.53.B.4 Executive Volume ES-0.0 I. IwrnoouCTION A. Procedure ES-0.0, "Rediagnosis", provides a mechanism for the operator to either confirm that he is in the proper procedure or to direct him to the Optimal Recovery Procedure that should be in ef fect. Procedure ES-0.0 is entered based on operator judgement and is exited after the operator confirms that he is in the appropriate series of procedures or

"- is directed to the appropriate procedure. Rediagnosis only applies to Optimal Recovery Procedures, not to Function Restoration Procedures.

II. RECOVERY / RESTORATION TECHNIQUE A. The objective of the recovery / restoration tacanique it.corporated into procedure ES-0.0 is a summary of diagnostic steps in che Optimal Recovery Procedures to allow the operator to quickly confir-a that he is in the correct series of procedures.

B. The following subsection provides a summary of the major categories of operator actions for procedure ES-0.0, "Rediagnosis".

1. High Level Action Summary

a. Check If Any Steam Generator Is Intact The operator should first determine if any SG is intact. If none of the SGs are intact, then the appropriate procedure would be ECA-2.1, " Uncontrolled Depressurization Of All Steam Generators"

b. Check If All Steam Generators Are Intact and If Faulted SG(s)

Isolated The operator should determine if any SGs are not intact. If so, he then confirms that any SGs not intact are isolated or he is directed to E-2, "Fau!ted Stease Generator Isolatioa"

c. Check If There Is A SGTR If any SG is intact and all SGs not intact are isolated, the operator then determines if any SG has a ruptured tube. If any tube is ruptured, then the appropriate procedure is either an E-3 or ECA 3 series procedure. If no tubes are ruptured, then the appropriate procedure is either an E-1 or ECA-1 series procedurs.

Check If Any SG Is Not Faulted PL1tPOSE To determine if any SG is non-faulted.

BASIS If all SGe- are faulted and the main s te amlines are isolated, the appropriate Procedure is ECA-2.1, " Uncontrolled Oepressur:zatten Of All Steam Generators", since

'that procedure deals with controlling feed to f aulted steam pnerators to stabilize and then cool down the plant. If the main steamlines are not isolated, the appropriate transition is to E-2, " Faulted Steam Generator Isolations", which will isolate the steaalines and then check for a non-faulted steam generator.

ACTIONS Determine if any SG pressure is stable or increasing.

Determine if a controlled cooldown is in progress.

Determine if main steaalines are isolated by checking YE:.:.C'4 SI,I lights lit.

SECTION 5

' Reference Plant /BVPS Unit 2 Plant Comparison

'The :following- are differences determined to exist between BVPS-2 and the ERG reference plant. The ERG reference plant is described in the Westinghouse Owners Group ERG Executive Volume.

1. Reactor Trip Actuation System-The reference system and. the BVPS Unit 2 Systems are essentially the same.

2. Eng'ineered Safeguards Features Actuation System

• ~ .

a. Safety Injected Signal

• - Safety Injected initiating signals are identical for the described reference system and BVPS Unit 2.

• Plant systems and components that are automatically actuated by an SI signal are similar for the described reference plant and BVPS Unit I with exceptions as noted in following descriptions.

RESET / BLOCK features of the SI signal actuation logics are identical for the described reference: plant and BVPS Unit 2.

b. Containment Spray Signal

• Containment spray signals are automatically initiated by the same parameters for the reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

• Identical to the reference plant, High-High containment pressure, or manual operator initiation will automatically initiate containment spray- system actuation and containment isolation phase B.

• -Containment Isolation Phase B (CIB) on BVPS-2

'will actuate. the Containment Spray Systems which- are integrated with the CIB signal. On the reference plant CIB is automatically initiated by the Containment Spray Actuation signal which is 31 dependent of the CIB Actuation signal. Actuation reset capability of the containment spray system and CIB are accomplished by common actuation reset push buttons respectively (one for each train) and therefore are always accomplished simultaneously. This actuation reset arrangement varies from the described w.

W r 23-r reference plant in that CIB and containment spray system as described in the reference plant may be actuated and reset independently.

> This difference offers no significant problem since the reset capability does not provide any signal to change status of equipment but merely allows the operator to take manual control of the respective equipment.

c. Auxiliary Feedwater Start Signal

• The BVPS Unit 2 AFW- start s.gnals and the-reference plant start signals are similar.

• In both the reference plant and BVPS Unit 2 automatic functions initialed by an AFW pump start. signal are similar with the exception

, :that the steam driven AFW pump receives the first start signal on 2/3 Low-Low SG water level on any one SG and the motor driven AFW pumps will start if the steam driven AFW pump fails to come up to speed. On 2/3 Low-Low SG water- level in any two SG(s) the motor driven AFW pumps receive a start signal. All other auto start signals are identical to the reference plant.

d. Containment Isolation Phase A (CIA)

CIA actuation and reset logics are identical for DVPS' Unit 2 and the reference plant.

, s. Containment Isolation Phase B Signal (CIB)

See Containment Spray Signal description (Section 5.2.b)..

f. Main Steamline Isolation Signal (SLI)

• SLI actuation signals and resulting automatic actions are identical for the reference plant

' and BVPS Unit 2: with following exception:

BVPS Unit 2 does' not have individual steam 4" generator isolation, all steam generators are lg isolated simultaneously.

• ' SLIL Reset. capabilities are identical for the reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

_g. Containment Ventilation Isolation Signal BVPS-2' uses a sub-atmospheric type containment and

'as thus does not utilize containment ventilation the_ same way as the reference plant. BVPS-2 only uses ' containment ventilation systems in the h

t' c

capacity for containment purge during Modes 5 and 6.

h. Main ~Feedwater Isolation Signal (FWI)

• FWI actuation signals, and resulting automatic isolation are identical for the reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

• - RESET / BLOCK capabilities are identical for the reference plant and BVPS Unit 2.

3. Nuclear Instrumentation System (NIS)

,. The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

El 4. Rod Control Instrumentation-System The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

5. Radiation Instrumentation System The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

6. Containment Instrumentation System The reference system. and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

7. Reactor Coolant System (RCS)

The BVPS Unit 2 RCS performs the same functions as the reference plant. It does have three distinct variations in configuration, these being:

• a three loop design vice four

• - three pressurizer PORVs vice two

• loop isolation valves

8. Safety In_tection System (SI)

'The' BVPS Unit 2 SI system performs similar functions as those described for the reference plant. The BVPS Unit 2 SI system is slightly different in configuration than the described reference plant. These differences are:

• BVPS Unit 2 does not have a subsystem corresponding to the reference plant High-Head SI subsystem. SI flow at high pressure (greater than approximately 305 psi) is provided exclusively by the l

L

~

-.....c , , - . , .

charging /HHSI subsystem. This system corresponds to the reference plant charging /SI subsystem.

• BVPS Unit 2's BIT is flanged off from the SI system and will not be used. The BIT isolation valves are designated Cold Leg Injection Isolation Valves.

• The BVPS Unit 2 LHSI subsystem does not interface

' -with the Residual Heat Removal System (RHS). These systems are completely segregated. (See description of RHS system Section 5.9).

• The BVPS Unit 2 SI-Accumulator subsystem has a minimum pressurization requirement of 605 psig.

• LThe BVPS Unit 2 Cold Leg Recirculation mode does

-not utilize the LHSI pumps taking a suction from the containment sump and discharging to the charging /HHSI punp suction. This same action is accomplished by a seperate recirculation spray pump .

system taking a suction from the containment sump i

. and discharging to the charging /HHSI pump suction.

• During Hot. Leg Recirculation mode, BVPS-2 does not simultaneously supply borated water to both the hot legs and cold legs, only to the hot legs.

9. Residual Heat Removal System (RHS)

The BVPS Unit 2 RHS system is constructed similarily and O operates identically to the reference system. The singular difference between the systems is that the.BVPS RHS system is provided with two pu'mps (independent of the LHSI pump) utilized for Reactor Coolant circulation while utilizing RHS system. The BVPS Unit 2 RHS : system is. totally confined within the containment, where the reference plant dual purpose LHSI/RHS pumps are located in -the safeguards building. (See description of difference of the LHSI system 'in Section 6.8).

10. Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS)

The reference . plant the EVPS Unit 2 CVCS systems are essentially the same. The one exception to their m similarity is the 'BVPS system has three centrifugal I charging /HHSI ' pumps vice the reference systems two centrifugal ~and one positivo displacemen't pump.

11. Component Cooling Water System (CCP) d The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 syctem are essentially the same.

w.

12. Service Water System (SWS) v.;

k c 3 m

The 1 reference system .and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

-13. ' Containment Spray System lute reference system and the BVPS Unit- 2 system performs the:same functions with the following difference: BVPS-

.2 containment spray pumps are not capable of being aligned to the containment sump for recirculation spray.

On low RWST level the spray pumps stop. However, spray is then provided by a .seperate recirculation spray system which is capable of maintaining the containment sub-atmospheric for- 30 days following a DBA. This seperate recirculation spray system prevents providing a RWST flow-path directly to the containment sump.

14. Containment Atmospheric Control System

' ' + The Containment Atmospheric Control System in the reference plant, and that utilized at BVPS Unit 2' perform nearly identical functions. The major appearant difference is in the safety qualification, and major ifunction of the reference plant fan cooler in containment. -The reference plant has safety. grade fan coolers tasked: with post-accident containment heat removal. This differs from BVPS in that the containment fan coolers are not safety grade, and although their operation is described under post-accident conditions, the design requirements for post-accident heat removal requirements are satisified by the' Containment Spray System- (See Section 5.13). On the reference plant the containment far coolers are located on the refueling deck. At BVPS the fans are-located at the containment sump level and receive' a shunt- trip signal on high containment sump level.

.15. ' Main Steam System (MS)

The reference. system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are designed to perform the same functions. Five major physical difference exist- in the configuration of the t systems.

• The .BVPS system- has three vice four steam generators (SGs).

• The BVPS SGs~ are isolated by trip and non-return valves vice simple isolation valves.

• The BVPS MS system has an additional steam release path provided by the Residual Heat Release valve.

This valve presents an air operated to open, spring return to close, valve capable of relieving approximately 200k lbm/hr (1.7% thermal power).

This release corresponds to reactor decay heat and

RCS pump heat 20 to 25 minutes after a full power reactor trip.

w * .The design and normal operating pressures of the BVPS MS system are slightly lower than those described in the reference. plant. (ie., 1075/1005 respectively vice 1185/1100.)

• The BVPS steam supply to the turbine-driven AFW

. pump originates from each of the three SGs and has manual isolation capability from individual SGs.

The SG(s) cannot be remotely isolated if an AFW auto start signal is present, but swing check valves are supplied in the supply lines to minimize the probabiltiy of simultaneous SG depressurization during SLB accidents- . The steam supplies are administrative 1y controlled to provide steam from 2 of 3 SG(s) at all times.

16. Main Feedwater and Condensate System The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system perform the same functions. One significant difference in system configuration is that the BVPS has two motor-driven feed pumps (two motors per pump) and a motor-driven startup feedwater pump vice one motor-driven and two turbine-driven pumps in the reference plant.

17. Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFW)

The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system perform

'idcntical functions. The only significant difference between the BVPS system and the reference system is that

.any of the three pumps are aligned to all three SG(s) following an AFW start and the steam driven AFW pump is normally aligned to receive steam from only two SG(s) at any one time.

18. Steam Generator Blowdown System The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

19. Sampling System

'The reference system and BVPS' Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

20. Spent Fuel Storage and Cooling System The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

21. Control Rod' Drive Mechanism Cooling System J'M

~-

c p

The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

t

22. Control Rod Drive System 1.e reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

23. Turbine Control System The reference system and BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same.

24. Electrical Power Systems The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same with the exception of the containment fan coolers are not powered from an emergency power supply.

25. Pneumatic Power System The reference system and the BVPS Unit 2 system are essentially the same with the exception of Pressurizer PORVs. On the reference plant these valves are pneumatically operated. On BVPS Unit 2 these valves are hydraulically opened and spring closed by pressurizer fluid. BVPS-2 has two air compressors which are dedicated as Containment Instrument Air Compressors vice supplying the containment air system from the station -

instrument air system.
