VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT UNIT 1 CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEW i.0.

INTRODUCTION The Vogtle. Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) in Burke County, Georgi a is the site of two nuclear power units under construction by Georgia Power Company (GPC).

The plant contains two units; identical four loop Westinghouse pressurized water reactors (3411 Mwt) with General Electric turbine generators (1157 Mwe).

Unit 1 is the subject of this review.

The' Control Room Design Review (CRDR) is part of the effort within the industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to upgrade control rooms, emergency response facilities, and procedures.

Although the CRDR is directed toward the existing control room, other areas of concernt specifically the design of a Safoty Parameter Display System (SPDS), the inclusion of Post-Accident Monitoring (PAM) instrumentation, and Emergency Operating Procedures are addressed in the CRDR.

Guidance for the CRDR and related activities has been provided in the form of various NUREGs and Regulatory Guides.

A Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee (NUTAC) with staff support from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) has developed a generic control room design review implementation plan from these guidelines.

That plan and supporting documents have been used by GPC for the development of this program plan.

This implementation plan describes the manner in which GPC intends to conduct a review of the VEGP. control room.

GPC does not intend to wait for NRC epproval of this implementation plan before commencing the review.

However, GPC enpects that any deficiencies in the plan noted by the NRC staff will be brought to GPC's attention in a timely manner.

This implementation plan also provides a basis upon which to judge that an adequate CRDR has been' conducted.

OVERVIEW u;

2.1 -

PURPOSE The purpose of the CRDR is to ensure that the VEGP Unit l' control room and. remote' shutdown panels will support safe operation during emergency conditions...The operator' tasks required during emergencies will be based on the emergency f

_f procedure guidelines (EPGs) in the plant specific EOPs. 1 2.2' OBJECTIVES To ensure that the CRDR fulfills its stated

- pur p o se, several objectives will be met during the r,evi ew.

The'following specific objectives are defineo'for the CRDR:

2.2.1

~*

To perf,orm a control room survey that compares the existing control room design with accepted human

, engineering criteria.

s

.s 2.2.2.

. To. revi.'ew relevant pl ant operational experience

,,-using[aNpr'priate documentation and operator o

o' questionnaires.

2. 2. 3-To determine the information and control L

requirements of control room operator tasks during I'

emergency conditions.

.N

2. 2. 4' To identify human engineering discrepancies (HEDs).

_s

_r 2.2.5 To evaluate the extent and importance of identified discrepancies.

h' r -

,,g <.2.2.6, To formulate;and implement solutions for significant discrepancies (as evaluated in-2.2.5).

r 2.2.7

-To ensure that the proposed solutions do, in fact, i

' DESCRIPTION OF'CRDR ACTIVITIES To achieve the stated objectives of the CRDR, several activities will be completed during the review.

The CRDR has been split into six nominal phases:

planning, execution, assessment, correction, effectivenass, and.

b

~

The planning phase of the CRDR is documentation.

represented by'this implementation plan.

The documentation phase is actually concurrent with all other phases.

The. activities within each phase will be described in more detail later, but a brief synopsis of Lthese activities will: help give a general picture of'the review process.

2.3.1

, Execution Phase The execution phase will constitute the data gathering portion of the CRDR.

During this phase, a control room _ survey will compare the characteristics of the existing control room with

-appropriate _ human engineering design guidelines.

An cxamination of' operating experience, both generic and plant-specific, will be conducted by a review of historical operational documents, such as-plant trip reports and Licensee Event Reports

~(LER), through' questionnaires and interviews 4:

with control room operators, and through experience gained at the plant-specific simulator.

During task' analysis, the Westinghouse

~ symptom-oriented EPGs and the plant systems called

'for in the EPGs'will be analyzed to determine the tasks required 'cif operators during emergencies.

The instrumentation and control requirements for those tasks will-be established, and the adequacy and completeness of existing instrumentation and controls will be determined.

C2.3.2:

Assessment Phase During the assessment phase,any discrepancies identified in'the execution phase will be analyzed, and the potential impact of each discrepancy on emergency. plant operation will be A

9 h

(3)

I

~

evaluated.. Discrepancies will be classified

.according to their potential impact on emergency

. plant operation.

Significant discrepancies will

tue resolved through enhancement, modification, or other means, such as changes to procedures, staffing,fand training.. Any actions proposed to resolve.uignificant discrepancies will be analyzed for_their ef.fect on operation.

In particular, proposed solutions that affect procedural changes will be examined thoroughly for.thei.r potential impact -on related procedures.

2.3.3

. Documentation Phase A summary report will be submitted at the conclusion of the assessment phase of the CRDR that will summarize the overall review process,

. summarize the identified human engineering discrepancies, describe the disposition of discrepancies.for which no changes were made, describe control room design improvements implemented during the course of the review, identify existing-design. characteristics that.are.

-beneficial, and identify proposed. design improvements.that were not implemented durir.g the review and their schedules for implementation if those schedules are known at'the, time the report.

is written.. The summary report will be submitted to the NRC.

2.3.4 Correction Phase A. plant-specific' plan will be developed that ensures the integration of proposed control room changes with other post-TMI programs, as well as-

. plant operating status.- A schedule will be

' developed -f or the orderly introduction of proposed

+

changes.. The schedule will take into account the required training of operators on pending changes.

Administrative follow-up will'be instituted to ensure the-successful completion and integration of all control ro*om changes.-

2.3.5 l Effectiveness Phase

-Procedures will be implemented at VEGP to solicit,

-evaluate,s and act on operational feedback s

.concerning plant system design and plant procedures.

This program will make-certain that changes resulting-from the CRDR are evaluated for their effectiveness.

-DEFINITION OF TERMS Control Room Design Review (CRDR) - A post-TMI task listed in NUREG-0660, " Task _ Action Plan Developed as a Result of the TMI-2 Accident," and NUREG-0737, the staff supplement to NUREG-0660, as Task I. D.1.

Control Room Survey - One of the activities that constitutes a CRDR.

The control room survey is a staticnverification of the control room performed by comparing the ex.isting control room instrumentation and layout with selected human engineering design criteria, i.e.,

checking the control room match to the physical capabilities and limitations of the human operator.

Elements of a Utility CRDR Implementation Process-

' Necess,ary parts of cohesive CRDR implementation process that a utility considers in developing and reviewing its implementation plan and schedule.

Emergency Dperating Procedures (EOPs) - Plant procedures directing the operator actions necessary'to mitigate the consequences of transients and accidents that cause plant

-parameters to exceed reactor protection setpoints, engineered safety features setpoints, or other appropriate technical limits.

Emergency Procedures Guidelines (EPGs)

Guidelines for response to transients and accidents developed by the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) that provide the bases for plant-specific EOPs.

f.

Human Engineering Discrepancy (HED)

-A characteristic of the existing control room that coes not comply with the human engineering criteria used in the control room design review.

Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee (NUTAC) for CRDR - Representatives from various nuclear utilities and INPO organi=ed to define areas of CRDR. implementation for which an overall industry effort to provide assistance to individual utilities in completing Task I.D.1, NUREG-0737.

l Operational Experience Review - One of the activities that constitutes a CRDR.

The operating experience review screens plant operating documents and operator experience to discover human. engineering shortcomings that have caused, or could have caused, actual operating problems in the past.

Review Teem '-- A group of individuals responsible for directing the CRDR.

Safety Parameter Display Systems (SPDS) - An aid to the control room operating crew for use in monitoring the_ status of critical safety functions (CSFs) that constitute the basis for I

plant-specific, symptom-oriented EOPs.

Subject Matter Expert (SME) - An individual who, by-virtue of training and experience, possesses in-depth knowledge in a specific subject area.

Task Analysis - The systematic process of i'dentifying and examining operator tasks in order to identify conditions and instrumentation associated with the performance of a task.

In the CRDR context, task analysis is used to determine the individual tasks that must be

_ completed to allow successful emergency operation.

.This. activity verifies the control room information available to the information requirements of the emergency operating tasks.

- Validation - The process of ' determining whether the control _ room operating crew can perform their tasks effectively given_the control room instrumentation, procedures,'and training.

In-the CRDR context, validation implies a dynamic

-m performance evaluation.

Verification - The process'of determining whet'her instrumentation, controls, and other equipment present meets the~ specific requirements of the emergency. tasks performed by operators.

In the CRDR context, verification implies a static check e

of_ instrumentation a' gainst human engineering criteria.

'4. 1 OPERATING EXPERIENCE. REVIEW The Vogtle Electric Generating Plant is a two-unit

. Westinghouse pressurized water reactor (PWR).

The-E

-plant is under-construction with fuel load for I ~

a:four-loop design with a net electrical output of Unit l' scheduled for September 1986.

Each unit is l

1 j

a S

(11)

r-1157 MWe.

With.no operating history, the on site experience of. operational personnel and data from plant operation documents will provide little information for the CRDR.

Acccrdingly the Operating Experience Review will focus primarily on-industry experience at similar plants and consider experience gained from the VEGP plant-specific simulator.

Two separate steps are involved in reviewing

. operating' experience.

The first is to review available and applicable historical documentation pertaining to plant-specific and generic occurrences.

The second step is to survey operating personnel.

Operating personnel surveys should identify specific problem areas in the VEGP control room and, in particular, should point out

, problems that occur in normal operation.

r 4.1.,1 Historical Documentation Review It is-recognized that documentation originating elsewhere in the industry should be reviewed to ascertain whether or not generic problems have been found that'might relate to VEGP.

-A mechanism exists at VEGP f or reviewing all-Significant

~

Operating Experience Reports (SOERs) and Significant Event Reports (SERs) distributed by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).

These reports are screened routinely for applicability to VEGP' systems.

The final generic documentation to be reviewed

. will be Licensee Event Reports (LERs) from plants of the same design vintage and vendor type as VEGP.

Since INPO maintains a. complete LER data base, they will be requested to provide VEGP with

{

a-printout of LERs sorted using the following characteristics:

/

LERs from:

Westinghouse PWR Listing errors by:

licensed operators Involving either:

human error or

-s procedural deficiency 9

~

t-

n :-

The CRDR team leader, with the assistance of a Reactor Operator will review the appropriate SOER and SER reports from the most recent three year period and the LER Summary.

Copies of those

' involving control room operator, procedural, and/or control board equipment failure and/or design arrangement errors will be obtained.

The reports obtAined will be screened to determine if the report describes and documents a control room problem.

A controi room problem is_ defined as one that meets one or more of the following criteria:

o Equipment referenced (valve / pump controls, displays, indicators, etc.) must be in the physical confines of the control room or remote shutdown panel.

~~

o Procedure steps referenced should be acccmplished within the physical confines of the control room or remote shutdown panel..

o Personral error referenced must have occurre:t in the control room on equi pmer. t in the control room or remote L.

shutdown panel or entailed a deviation from procedures that were to be accomplished in the control room or. remote shutdown panel.

Reports that pass the above selection ced.teria will be further reviewed to determine if similar potential for error exists at VEGP due to HED.

4.1'. 2 Operating Personnel Survey The most valuable source of data.on operational s

problems is the person who has operated the plant..

The intent of the. operating personnel survey is to gain as much firsthand information as possible on actual and potential operational errors.

The survey will consist of a self-administered questionnaires and alter *nate problem notification procedures.-

Specifically, the areas covered will be as follows:

o workspace layout and environment a

. CONTROL ROOM SURVEY A survey of the existing VEGP control. room will be

. con' ducted during the CRDR.

The purpose of the-

_ survey. will be to compare the design features of.

the existing control room with applicable human engineering design guidelines.

The survey will.be

' conducted by the CRDR review team.

The survey

. team will use questionnaires, checklists, and surveys to compile information regarding the as-built. characteristics'of the VEGP control room.

An extensive review of the VEGP control room was conducted in 1982.

The results of that CRDF will be reviewed, especially the HED's and their resolution.

Items previously surveyed will be compared to revision in criteria since the original work and any additional HED's identified.

Previously completed survey items will not be repeated if the Review Team determines that the duplication of effort would reyealLno new information.

4.2.1 Questionnaires, Checklists, and Surveys The NUTAC on CRDR has developed a set of questionnaires, checklists, and surveys that addresses the human engineering design

~

- considerations applicable to nuclear power plant

~

control rooms.

VEGP intends to use these survey instruments with as little modification as possible.

These documents are included in the CRDR Survey Development Guideline (INPO 83-042),

developed by INPO and the CRDR NUTAC.

The individual survey instruments are described below.

4.2.1.1 Questionnaires There are two questionnaires among the NUTAC survey instruments:

the Engineering Department Questionnaire and the Operator Questionnaire.

The Engineering Department Cuestionnaire is designed to compile information concerning the function and optional operation of various plant systems, such

' as the annunciator and emergency lighting systems.

This questionnaire also solicits information on the failure modes of. indicators and opinions about the adequacy of certai i existing system characteristics.

The purposes of the Engineering Department Questionnaire are to educate the review team concerning the design' attributes of certain plant systems and to provide an engineering input f or the assessment of HEDs later in the review process. The review team leader will distribute the Engineering Department Questionnaire to the GPC Engineering Department.

Each recipient will be requested to complete and return the questionnaires within four weeks.

e '

E (16) u

- - _ ~

Thef0perator. Questionnaire is designed to collect

-information on operating personnel's L

. experiences-good or bad--with' control room characteristics.

The items on the Operator m

Questionnaire solicit information;that depends on 7

actual' operation of the controls and displays in I

the control room.

This information is not easy to obtain using speci-fic criteria f or height, ilocation, and scaling but depends on,the

. interaction among control room instruments, procedures, layout, and staffing.

Some of the information collected during the operating experience review-is similar to that obtained with the. operator questionnaires. However, the experience review solicits more general information.

The purpose of the Operator Questionnaire is to tap'the_ operational' knowledge of VEGP personnel and relate that knowledge to the human engineering

~~

. characteristics of-the VEGP-control room.

It is not feasible'to keep all subjective opinion out of~

.the responses to such a questionnaire.

However,

-the individual, questions are posed as objectively as;possible and, by using data-from many

. individuals, isolated individual " pet peeves" will Ebe weighted lightly during the analysis of the information obtained.

The review team leader.will~ distribute the Operator Questionnaire to all Plant Operators, Shift Supervisors, and STAS at VEGP.-

The1 instructions will stipulate that the

. questionnaire items concerning controls, indicators, and-labels should be' answered on a 1.-

panel-by-panel basis.

A separate set of these questions wil1 ~ tur. included. f or each control board panel.

It also will be stressed that the

" questionnaires'should.be-completed during periods vdimi the respondent. is' in or has access to the control room but does not have operating responsibility'for the unit.

L.

Each-respondent will~be requested to complete the questionnaire within one month of.the date it is

~~

distributed.

Each respondent also will be assured

+

that responses will never be used to judge job

' performance or for any other punitive purpose.

4.2.1.2

-Checklists Five checklists are included in the NUTAC survey

. instruments. -These are an overview checklist;.

. operator-assisted checklist; a labeling, mimics, and demarcation checklist;.a general panel checklist;-'and.a process computer checklist.

Each checklist:is designed to allow one'or two people

'to walk around.the control. room and determine whether. individual checklist items are satisfied by theJexisting control room design.

The checklists are very simple to use and, except for specific items, require very little operator

' time.

Each item in a checklist is a simple declarative sentence describing an acceptable f

design. characteristic.

.For example, item two in the overview checklist states:

" Sanitary

' Facilities and Drinking.. Water Are Easily Accessible."

If the individual (s) using the checklist make(s) the judgement that.the statement is true or correct for the control room under review,.then that item is checked off, and no ' '

o

_ further action is necessary;.concerning the characteristic.

However, if the

. user makes the judgement'that.the control room is not designed to be acceptable for a particular checklist item, an HED is' written for that

particular f acet of the design.

Some degree of judgementis involved in.various checklist' items.

However, the nature of these

' judgements is such that a common sense approach

.should result in'a consensus among individuals on the survey concerning questionable items.

-If

-situations arise where-two or more judgements

- N cannot'be reconciled,- an-HED will be written, and the' dispute will.be resolved by the review team during the assessment phase.

Color-Coding Survey o

Control Room Co.nputer Survey These surveys can and will be done independently.

They function as a frame work within which various measurements can be recorded.

Some of the surveys consist of simply describing control room conventions such as color usage and instrument arrangement.

The information obtained in these surveys will be used in other CRDR activities to determine where particular instruments or systems depart from the overall convention.

For these surveys, in particular, operator input will be required to describe how certain controls function and the meaning assigned to particular colors.

It should be noted that, in general, HEDs will not be written during convention surveys.

Instead, the information obtained will be used-during assessment.

Other surveys measure certain physical quantities, such as illumina'. ton and sound level, and to compare these measurements to acceptable upper and lower limits for such quantities.

HEDs will be written for characteristics that fall outside the acceptable band.

The individuals conducting these surveys must be able to operate the appropriate measuring instruments and interpret the output properly.

GPC may elect to retain outside specialists _to operate the measuring equipment.

If not, selected personnel will be trained to use such equipment.

Regardless of who actually makes

.the measurements, review team members will be responsible for writing any HEDs resulting.

(19)

R

4.2.2 Personnel Assignments j

It is not necessary that the entire CRDR Review Team be involved in the day-to-day conduct of the control room survey.

The actual survey, with its documentation requirements, will be conducted by Review Team members supported by members of various VEGP departments.

Personnel selected to conduct the surveys will be trained to use the surveytchecklists and surveys properly.

4.3 TASK ANALYSIS The operating experience review and the control room survey will identify as HEDs control room characteristics that have caused, or nearly causedi~ problems during normal operation or HEDs that do not conform to certain human engineering design criteria.

The final activity in the CRDR execution phase, the task analysis, will identify the tasks operators must perform during emergency operation and determine whether the instrumentation, controls, and equipment are available to perform those tasks.~

In addition to determining the availability of suitable instrumentation, controls, and equipment, the

-task analysis will validate that the emergency tasks identified can be performed under simulated emergency conditions in the VEGP control room.

The task analysis will use as its' basis the Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS) developed-by the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG).* These ERGS have been-designed to generate plant-specific emergency operating procedures (EOPs) for Westinghouse nuclear plants.

An added benefit to using the ERGS is that the analysis done as part of the systems review can be applied to verifying the plant-specific EOPs for VEGP.

4.3.1 Task Identification Starting with specific Westinghouse ERGS, all tasks within the ERGS will be identified and analyzed to determine the instrumentation and controls required.

All Emergency Response Guidelines and Functional Recovery Guidelines will be task. analyzed.

However, these contain steps (20) w

which appear in many ERGS and FRGs.

In these cases the task analyses will completely analyze the step only once and refer to that analysis when the step is duplicated in other guidelines.

Beyond the ERG tasks to be analyzed, certain plant systems are referenced in the ERGS as resources to be used duri.ng emergency operation.

As part of the task i.dentification, the tasks necessary to use the plant systems, as they are r,equired to be used in the ERGS, will be delineated.

Any instruments and controls necessary to complete these tasks will be determined.

It is probable that the operator tasks required for specific system operation can be determined using existing VEGP documentation.

Where this is not the case, any additional analysis required to determine system-specific tasks will be performed and documented.

After the required tasks are delineated and the necessary instruments and controls identified, a two-step process will be undertaken that will (1) verify that the required instruments and controls are present in the control room and are of the appropriate range with the appropriate scales and slabels and (2) validate, with dynamic walk-through-talk-throughs, that all ERG and system-specific ste'ps can be completed in the VEGP

.)

control room by.the normal complement of operating personnel.

The methodology contained in the Emergency Response Capability (ERC) Nuclear Utility Task Action Committee (NUTAC) Component Verification and System Validation Guideline will be used to develop the actual validation procedures.

4.3.2 Verification of Instrumentation The process of verifying that the VEGP control room contains appropriate instruments and controls will be completed ~in two somewhat overlapping steps.

First, a determination will be made as to whether the instrumentation and controls necessary to make the decisions and implement the tasks identified previously are, in fact, present in the control room.

If not, any such instance will be defined as an HED and documented accordingly.

O (21) s

J y

For'each ERG the walk-through procedure will be the same.

_A. complete operating crew will be

. assembled at the control room and the crew members will.take their normal positions relative to the i

control boards.

The crew will execute the specific instructions in the ERG and to record comments and movements in response to those instructions.

The crew will by encouraged to verbalize what they are doing, why they are doing it, and which. instruments and controls they are using for each activity.

This is not a. dynamic check of the adequacy of the control room layout, but it will indicate whether

~

L or not appropriate instrumentation is available in the primary-control area to carry out the tasks called for in the ERGS.

In addition, the

' instruments and controls used to operate specific plant systems can be recorded on Task Data Forms (TDF) in Attachment 4.

The second step-of.the verification process

.consi'sts of an examination of the instrumentation and controls located ' in the first step (above) to determine its human engineering suitability-for N

the task =or decision it is_ supposed to support.

Although the. control room survey examined all control _ room instrumentation for conformance with human engineering design criteria, this verification step is required to determine if a meter, for example, has the appropriate range and

' scale gradations to support a particular ERG task or system-specific, task.

This-step will be

-accomplished by review' team personnel observing the verification. 'They'will base their

determination on the task analysis ~ HED principles in Attachment 4'and note HED's on-the TDF.

' 4.3.3 Validation of Control Room Functions The final analytical step in the task analysis is to validate that the tasks. delineated earlier are indeed the. tasks that_must be performed to carry out emergency functions and that those-tasks can be' completed in the VEGP control room by the normal operating crew.

This evaluation will be accomplished in conjunction with EOP validation on the'VEGP Unit 1 simulator.

Next, specific h

(22) 4-~~e

~-

~

transients will be selected that will require operators to use the ERGS.

These transients will be'run on'the VEGP simulator, and a VEGP operating crew will perform the actions that are required by the EOPs.

The transients to be run on the' simulator have been chosen.from the list of scenarios used by the Westinghouse Owners' Group to validate their ERGS on the Ca11'away Nuclear Power Plant _ Training Simulator (Summary Report - Emergency Response Guidelines Validation Program, Westinghouse, WCAP-10204, September 1982).

The following specific transients will be run during the simulator walk-throughs:

o reactor trip o

spurious SI o

anticipated transient'without scram (ATWS) o stuck open pressurizer PORV o

small break LOCA with loss of off-site power o

' failed'open S/G safety valve o

steam line leak inside containment a

steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) with secondary break o

SGTR with stuck open S/G PORV o

feedline break inside containment and SGTR

?...

o loss of all feedwater o

spurious SI followed by LOCA As with walk-thro' ughs, a complete operating crew will be assembled at the simulator.

The crew members-will take their normal positions relative to'the control boards.

An observation team will be assigned to record the crew's movements and to note any deviations from the appropriate ERGS.

If needed to gather appropriate data, two runs will be made for each transients.

The first ran will O

(23)

r___-_

normally be made at real time so that the events in the simulator will occur in the same time frame

~

as in.the actual plant. A second run may be made in slow time so the operating crew members can describe their actions to the observation crew and tell the observation crew which instruments are being used at any given time.

It appears,that it will require about five eight-hour shifts to complete the tr.ansients.

At least two crews.will be run through all the scenarios.

The simulator runs will be video-taped and sound recorded.

The tapeu serve an archival purpose.

Specific analysis of the tapes will only be conducted if sufficient information is not available.from other sources.

4.3.4 Data Recording and Analysis Various data will be recorded by the members of the observation team (see Section 4.3.5) during the simulator walk-throughs.

During the real time run, the movements of each crew member will be traced on a control room outline drawing by an observer.

This information will be analyzed to determine the m,ain paths between panels and panel sections and also to identify any significant need to access back panel indications or controls.

In addition to crew movements, observers will trace the path of the crew through the appropriate ERGS and plant systems.

Notations will be made of

-significant communication links used during each transient and any instances of crew member conflict (either physical access problems or communication problems) will be noted.

If an optional slow time run is conducted, the observation team will question the operating crew

.concerning the instrumentation they are using at any point in time and their strategy for dealing with the particul,ar transient.

This information will be cross-checked with similar information from the walk-throughs and any obvious discrepancies noted.

The review team will use the control room walk-thrus and simulator runs to determine if HEDs were manifested due to the layout of the control room and the dynamic interaction of the operating crew during emergency operation.

(24)

r

'4.3.5 Personnel Assignments t

'The task identification described in Section 4.3.1 is characterized by extensive analysis of ERGS and emergency resource systems before any walk-through validation is done.

The analysis of system function and operator tasks will be conducted by members'of the review team, aided by operations personnel.

The full review team will review all

.such pre-analysis work.

After the pre-analysis is complete, the control room and simulator walk-throughs will require the

)

intermittent participation-of some review team members.-

The CRDR team leader will be responsible for scheduling crews to walk through the selected L

ERGS in the control room and for scheduling both crew and simulator time for transient runs in the VEGP simulator.

A group of trained observers'will be required for the walk-through activities, although the number of people in this group will change, depending on

- whether the control room or the simulator is being used. :For the dynamic simulator validation, each cre,w member will be tracked,by a s.eparate observer, whereas the control room walk-throughs will not be as time-critical and a person may observe more than one, or all, control room personnel.

5.0 ASSESSMENT

PHASE 5.1 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this phase of the CRDR are as follows:

o Evaluate the significance of the HEDs defined in the previous phases of the CRDR.

o Where HEDs are found to be of minor significance, describe the technical and operational basis for such a finding.

o Where HEDs are found to.be of potentially major significance, formulate changes to the control room, procedures, operator training, or any combination thereof to mitigate those HEDs.

e (25)

~

.w.

^

Of these objectives, the most conceptually difficult is to evaluate HED significance.

A fairly straightforward set cf criteria for HED evaluation is described-in the next section.

5.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA Human engineering discrepancies found during the control room survey, the operating experience review, and the task analysis will be evaluated by

'the review team for their potential to adversely affect emergency operation A categorization-scheme will be used that requires each HED to be assessed by the review team and prioritized for resolution.

The following four categories are designed to be unique so a consensus can be obtained from the review team as to which category each.HED should be assigned.

o Category 1 (Safety Significant) - HEDs that have caused errors in or are judged likely to affect adversely the management of. emergency conditions by control room operators.

o

' Category 2 - HEDs that are known to have caused problems during normal operation.

o Category 3 - HEDs that can be " fixed" with simple and inexpensive enhancements, so-called " paint, tape, and label" (PTL) fixes.

This may seem to be an implementation rather than an assessment category.

However, there probably will be HEDs that the review team feels are very easy to fix but difficult to assess as to effect.on emergency operation.

This category is for such HEDs.

o Category 4 - HEDS that do not fit into Categories 1 through 3.

These HEDs are judged by the review team as unlikely to affect emergency operation, not documented as causing problems during normal operation, and not simple or cheap to fix.

The precise method to be'used to put HEDs into these categories has not been delineated.

It is envisioned that comparing HEDs to higher level principles, such as those listed in the CRDR NUTAC (26)

a 7.0 CORRECTION PHASE The actions required to resolve significant HEDs will vary, as will the time required to complete proposed changes.

It is essential, however, to

. set some end point for completing the proposed changes-for each HED category.

~7.1 SCHEDULING

~

The'following schedule will.become goals for GPC when planning the activities appropriate to resolve significant HEDs.

Category Completion 1

As soon as practical after a specific solution has been approved by GPC management.

Prior to fuel loading.

2 As soon as practical.

No later than first refueling outage after the review.

3 No specific completion-date.

Corrective action will be based on economic judgement.

-4 No specific completion date.

Not planned.

Impractical with current-technology.

'It should be recognized that these completion

' dates are goals and that some changes may still be pending after these dates..GPC will make all reasonable efforts to meet these goals.

7.2 IMPLEMENTATION Modifications required to resolve significant HEDs will be implement'd usidg approved GPC Nuclear e

' Operations or GPC Nuclear Construction Department proc'edures.

Since the plant modification process for selected HEDs may take' considerable amount of time for implementation, the implementation and follow-up activities will rely upon normal site c.

-e (32)

s organization.

Therefore, it is' imperative that the' HED(s) 'and~ the resulting modification request (s) are very explicit as to what is to-be done.

)

j

<The use of exi. sting plant modification procedures ensures that plant operators will be made aware of impending-changes and will be trained to use the modified control panels.and sy, stems,;since the current station-modification process'is to involve

-thef VEGP training department in the early stages of the modification.

This approach to the. implementation of changes will help ensure the success of the modifications

~

and will give the line organization a tool for developing their techniques for long-term support

."of the control room.-

8.0

' EFFECTIVENESS PHASE During the correction phase of the CRDR, proposed modificaticns and enhancements were evaluated for their effectiveness-in solving the deficiencies that prompted.them.

However, no feasible evaluation method can account beforehand for all~

p-the circumstances encountered during actual-

~

[

operation.

Recognizing'the need for operational

. feedback on the usability'of control room changes resulting-from the CRDR, GPC-will delineate an operational feedback path at VEGP.

8.1 <

VALIDATION OF' CHANGES.

w The validationuof control room changes will be accomplished using two different methods.

First, after-changes.are installed and have been operational for approximately 60 days, the review team from the CRDR will inspect the control room to ensure that,fas installed, the' changes caccurately reflect their original-recommendations regarding particular HEDS.

If-the review team consensus is:that any or all of the installed

  1. 'V changes do not' meet the intent of their.

. EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES The: Task Analysis portion of the CRDR will use r

.the Westinghouse ERGS.as its. starting point.

cThus, the task of-upgrading emergency procedures l

is inherently integrated into the CRDR.

The simulator validation of the task analysis will be combined with the.VEGP EOP validation' program.

9. 2 -

' SAFETY' PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM It'is the intent of GPC to use the task analysis I"

, phase of the CRDR to define the operator information requirements during conditions of emergency' operation.

These requirements will define many of the plant inputs to the SPDS and the display format for the CRTs required.,The SPDS will be surveyed against those requirements.

It is anticipated'that-some HEDs defined during the review and judged to be significant by the review team.may be resolved by incorporating certain features into the SPDS and associated displays..This will serve to further integrate

'the-SPDS into the-CRDR.

A sincere effort has been made by GPC-to-ensure'that all. major aspects of an' effective CRDR have been-considered during the development of this f

implementation plan. ~Since GPC is-committed to perform their CRDR as described in this document, b.

the acceptability of the CRDR also should be

.FROM:.

E. J. Kozinsky

TO:

SR0 Trainees Simulator' Instructors In order to improve the operational reliability of the Vogtle Control

Room, I' will be conducting a Control Room Design Review to identify and correct. problems in the Control. Room. <An important part of that review is to review operating experience to discover human engineering shortcomings that have caused or almost caused actual operating problems in the past.

.Your'recent experience in the simulator is a valuable source of this type information.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the attached

^

questionnaire.

This will help me identify problems and correct-them.

Do not' feel limited by the structure of the questionnaire. Use the

. blank forms at the back of the packet to point out any problem area you noted that-did not seem to fit the questions.- Be specific in identify-

-ing controls or displays.

Suggest changes, this is your chance to make

~it right.

OPERATING EXPERTENCE QUESTIONNAIRE.

The following questions are grouped into 5 content areas. Specifically, the areas to be covered are the following:

Jo panel design o

annunciator system o

' control room layout o

training.

. o comments The main ideaLin this questionnaire is to get you to tell me two thins.; about each topic.

First, and most important, I want to know if the particular. characteristic of the control room has ever caused or almost' caused an operation probi(m.

Specifically, has the design led or allowed yjnt to do something that you didn't intend to do?

If

.so, I want you to describe those incidents.

If not,'have you seen someone else do something wrong or misoperate a piece of equipment because of the design?

I am particularly interested in incidents that caused plant. transients or challenged a safety system.

If equipment was misoperated, but the error was discovered quickly and corrected, I want to know that, too..

The second thing I would like to know is any aspect of the sys'tems covered in a topic area that helped you during plant operation. These

- might be characteristics of particular systems that let you operate more quickly or efficiently.

Perhaps there are features.that let you know when a tr.ansient is eminent.

If you personally do not know of any such features, have you seen someone else benefit from s.?ecific des'ign #eatures?

I know that this is a' fairly tedious task, but I want to assure you

~-

that I will do something about control room features that have caused or nearly caused operational problems. Thank you in advance for help-ing make Vogtle a better place to work.
