1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Procedures Generation package (PGP) is to provide a description of the process used to upgrade the Emergency Operating Procedures (E0P's) at the Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.
1.
This process incorporates Plant-Specific Technical Guidelines, Writers Guide, Verification Program, Validation Program, and Training Program.
1.2 Scope The E0P upgrade proces: is documented in response to Item 7.2.b, Supplement 1 of NUREG-0737, " Requirements for Emergency Response Capability," as contained in the Commission's confirmatory letter from Mr. James R. Miller to W. C. Jones dated February 22, 1984.
The guidance presented in NUREG-0899, " Guidelines for the Prepara-tion of Emergency Operating Procedures, " was used in developing the upgrade process. NUREG-0899 also provides guidance on the recommendations of NUREG-0737, Item I.C.1 " Emergency Oper ' ting Procedures." In addition INP0 Guidelines82-013, 82-016,82-017, 83-004,83-006, and 83-007 were utilized in the development of the Procedures Generation Package..
The parts of this package dealing with the Plant-Specific Technical Guidelines, E0P Writers Guide, E0P Verification Program, E0P Validation Program, and E0P Training Program are written as autono-mous sections. The various PGP parts may be revised prior to incorporation into the Nuclear Production Division procedure network. This revision process would not alter or diminish the integrity of the development process but would incorporate lessons learned in the execution of the upgrade program.
1.3 Background
Following the accident at Three Mile Island (TMI), NUREG-0578, "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short Term Recommendations" was issued. The Combustion Engineering Owners Group (CE0G) developed CEN-128, " Response of Combustion Engineering Nuclear Supply System to Transients and Accidents" using best estimate analysis techniques.
The guidance of NUREG-0578 was integrated into and expanded by NUREG-0660, "NRC Action Plan Developed as a Result of the TMI-2 Accident." NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Require-ments", was issued to improve the recommendations of NUREG-0660.
Item I.C.1 of NUREG-0737 recommends that the events analyzed for E0P's include multiple failures, that guidelines be prepared to conTr.unicate designer information to the procedure writers, and that E0P's include function oriented procedures as well as event orient-ed procedures. __
Omaha Public Power District personnel have been actively partici-pating for several years in the CEOG program to develop generic Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG's). The generic EPG's were submitted to the NRC in a report entitled, " Combustion Engineering Emergency Procedure Guidelines," CEN-152, Revision 01, dated November 22, 1982. CEN-152, Revision 02 was submitted to the NRC on May 8, 1984 and will be used as the basis for the Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 upgraded E0P's. This report contains the revised version of the EPG's, a description of the guideline characteristics and features, the methodology used to develop and validate the guidelines, and information on plant-specific imple-mentation. The NRC has not officially accepted the revised CE0G EPG's for implementation in plant-specific E0P's at the time of this submittal. NRC acceptance of CEN-152, Revision 02 is expected in the near future along with a safety evaluation report identi-fying technical and administrative issues requiring future resolu-tion.
In response to Item I.C.1 of NUREG-0737, as clarified in Supplement 1 and as required in Item 7.2.b this Procedures Generation Package is submitted.
Implementation of the first set of E0P's as describ-ed in this package is scheduled to be complete prior tu the Cycle 10 startup.
2.0 UPGRADE PROCESS This section provides a summary of the program for upgrading Emergency Operating Procedures at Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. I based on the Combustion Engineering Owners Group Emergency Procedure Guidelines.
2.1 Procedure Network E0P's are only one of the many types of procedures within the plant's procedure network. This network is considered by the E0P project team during the upgrade process to ensure consistency between E0P's and other plant procedures. When necessary, changes to existing plant procedures are processed as part of this program.
To distinguish E0P's from other plant procedures, an emergency is defined as an incident severe enough to necessitate a reactor trip
- either automatically or manually initiated. Events which are more serious than normal transients but not severe enough to require a reactor trip or for which the reactor is already shut-down, shall be included in a new set of procedures called Abnormal Operating Procedures (A0P's). This procedure set will contain many procedures which were previously designated as emergency proce-dures.
Emergency events can be divided into two types.
For the first type, the operator can determine the general type of event by diagnosing its symptom set from control room indications, knowledge of the plant, and recent operating history.
For events where a diagnosis is possible, guidance has been developed and sequenced to effectively mitigate that symptom set (e.g., LOCA, steam generator tube rupture). Since these types of events have been well analyzed and understood, it is possible to write emergency procedures to optimize the recovery (i.e., minimize release of radiation, reduce risk of core damage).
4
In the second type of emergency, the operator is urable to diagnose a specific symptom set. This may be due to errors in symptom assessment by the operator, multiple failures in the plant, the occurrence of an event not previously analyzed, instrumentation failures, or a combination of the aforementioned.
For these events, guidance has been developed which is based upon the satis-fying of safety functions (e.g., RCS inventory control, RCS pres-sure control) and not on recovery from a specific symptom set.
Emergency Operating Procedures (E0P's) provide guidance for both types of emergencies. Therefor, af ter a reactor trip, the operator can refer to a procedure which will provide correct, safe guidance regardless of whether a specific symptom set is identified. E0P's written to treat specific symptom sets are called Optimal Recovery Procedures. The E0P which provides guidance for undiagnosed events is called the Functional Recovery Procedure. The following list identifies the Fort Calhoun Station network of E0P's:
Electrical Emergency E0P-03:
Loss of Coolant Accident E0P-04:
Steam Generator Tube Rupture E0P-05:
Uncontrolled Heat Extraction E0P-06:
Functional Recovery The Reactor Trip Immediate Actions, located in E0P-01, are per-formed follnwing all reactor trips to evaluate the status of critical safety functions and provide contingency actions to improve the status of those safety functions in jeopardy. The Reactor Trip Immediate Actions provide a secondary function in that while evaluating the status of safety functions, elements of event -
}
i diagnosis are also in progress.
Following the Reactor Trip Immedi-ate Actions, further diagnostic actions occur, if necessary, in which the operator attempts to identify a specific symptom set corresponding to the event in progress.
If the diagnosis of one event can be made then that optimal recovery E0P is implemented.
If the diagnosis of the event is not possible then the functional recovery E0P is implemented. A check of the status of each safety functica continues to be performed on a regular time interval when entering any other E0P from E0P-01.
2.2 Process Description The upgrading of E0P's is a process consisting of several steps.
The process steps are: (1) preparation of a plant-specific writers guide and development of plant-specific technical guidelines, (2) procedure writing and verification, (3) procedure validation, (4) training of the operators, and (5) implementation of the upgraded E0P's. The process elements taken collectively are a description of the methods used to convert the generic CEOG EPG's to Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 E0P's. These elements are described more fully in this PGP.
The E0P writer must take a multitude of facets into account when generating E0P's. The CE0G EPG's and supporting information identify the plant objectives to be met, the systems required, the required level of performance, the required operator actions, and the strategy with which the actions are to be carried out. Addi-tional strategies, functions, tasks, and analyses are needed to prepare the E0P's.
Integration of the E0P process elements is based on operating experience, engineering, writing methods, shift staffing, plant design features, and operating characteristics.
While integrating the process elements, subsystem and component details are added to the E0P.
1 Finally, after the E0P's are written and verified, ths E0P's must be validated. Appropriate accident scenarios, including multiple failures, shall be developed to adequately test the E0P's and E0P -
operator interaction during emergency conditions.
Following successful validation, all o p rators will be trained on the upgraded E0P's prior to assip iment in the control room with the E0P's implemented.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose This document provides the guidelines and the process for the development of the Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 upgraded Emergency Operating Procedures (E0P's) and their revision.
1.2 Scope Because of the similarity between Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 and the generic plant used for the Combustion Engineering Owner's Group (CEOG) Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG's), the generic guidelines incorporating plant specific source documents and engineering reviews will be used to upgrade the existing Fort Calhoun Station Emergency Procedures.
1.3 Applicability These guidelines apply to initial E0P implementation and subsequent revisions of the Fort Calhoun Station E0P's.
2.0 PLANT SPECIFIC TECHNICAL GUIDELINES This section describes the upgrade process that will be used to convert theCE0GEPG's(CEN-152,Rev.02)andothersourcedocumentsindicated below to the plant specific Technical Guidelines required by NUREG 0737, Supplement 1, item 7.2.b.(i).
The applicability of the EPG's to Fort Calhoun Station has been ensured through District participation in the CE0G workshops in which the philosophy, methodology, and technical content were developed.
In addi-tion, as part of the Detailed Control Room Design Review the EPG's were E0PTG Rev. 00 Page 3 of 5
]
verified and validated by the performance of a task analysis, an Information Control Characteristics Review, and Fort Calhoun Station control room walk-throughs.
2.1 Source Documents E0P writers will use the following source documents to prepare upgraded E0P's:
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Writers Guide CE0G Emergency Procedure Guidelines (CEN-152, Rev.
02 for initial upgrade or most current revision for subsequentupgrades)
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 USAR Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Emergency Procedures (existing)
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 Operating Procedures Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Administrative Procedures Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Radiological Emergency Response Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures As-built plant drawings Licensing commitment letters related to E0P's 2.2 Draft E0P's The E0P writer will review the source documents and then construct draft E0Ps using the following additional guidance; the Verification Program provides the means for documenting these steps.
E0PTG Rev. 00 Page 4 of 5
If it is determined that a generic step is com-patible with Fort Calhoun Station, then the step will be ccpied into the E0P's using the appropriate format instruction.
When a generic step requires a plant specific value, it will be determined and put into the E0P.
When a generic step indicates the need for plant-specific details, then the information will be added to the E0P's.
When the generic guidelines fail to address systems or actions that are unique to Fort Calhoun Station, then steps will be included to encompass the neces-sary actions.
If a generic step specifies an action that cannot be performed at Fort Calhoun Station, then the step will be deleted or modified.
Generic steps will be reworded to conform to Fort Calhoun Station standard terminology.
Generic steps may be rearranged to streamline the procedure provided the technical intent remains unchanged.
2.3 Final E0P's After the draft E0P's are prepared, verification and validation processes will be performed as described in the following sections.
At the conclusion of the verification and validation, the E0P's will be approved and implemented. Revisions will be processed as required in accordance with administrative control procedures.
Any deviation or addition to the CE0G EPG's which constitute an unreviewed safet.v question will be reviewed by the Plant Review Committee and the Safety Audit Review Committee and submitted to the NRC prior to implementation.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose This document provides guidance for the preparation of new Emer-gency Operating Procedures (EOP's) and the revision of existing E0P's for Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1.
This guidance is provided to ensure that the information and guidance contained in the E0P's will be presented consistently in style and format. The administrative and technical guidance will ensure clarity of procedural steps and effective control room actions during emer-gency events.
1.2 Scope i.
6 This writers guide applies to the preparation, writing, and revision of all emergency operating procedures for Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1.
2.0 E0P DESIGNATION AND NUMBERING E0P's are distinguished from other plant procedures by their unique identification letters, numbers, and titles. Controlled copies of the E0P's shall be maintained in both the Control Room and at the Emergency Shutdown Panel to insure immediate access during emergencies.
2.1 Procedure Cover Sheet Each E0P will have a cover sheet that contains the following information (see Figure 1):
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 6 of 45
A.
Identification E0P Title E0P Number Revision Number Total Number of Pages B.
Review Reviewer's Title Reviewer's Signature Date Signed Safety Question Evaluation C.
Approval PRC Meeting Date Plant Manager Signature Effective Date 2.2 Title Page Each E0P will have a title page that contains the following information (see Figure 2):
Procedure Title Procedure Number Effective revision number of each page Effective Revision Date Page 1 of E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 7 of 45
2.3 Procedure Designation The letters "E0P" will proceed the procedure number thus designa-ting the appropriate emergency operating procedure. See section 2.4 for numbering of procedures.
2.4 Procedure Numbering The following list identifies the Fort Calhoun Station network of emergency operating procedures:
Emergency Operating Procedures E0P-01: Reactor Trip E0P-02: Electrical Emergency E0P-03: Loss of Coolant Accident E0P-04: Steam Generator Tube Rupture E0P-05: Uncontrolled Heat Extraction E0P-06: Loss of Feedwater E0P-20: Functional Recovery 2.5 Procedure Revision Numbering 1.
The abbreviation "Rev." followed by the revision number will be on a separate line just below the procedure number.
When a revision is issued, the changes shall be identified by a solid vertical line in the right hand margin opposite the revised material.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 8 of 45
2.6 Page Identification and Numbering Each page of the procedure will be identified by; (1) the procedure designator and number, (2) the revision number, and (3) the page number specified as part of the total number of pages in the prot.edure (e.g., Page 12 of 26). This information will be located at the bottom of each page of the E0P, and centered within the body (border) of the procedure.
Procedure text shall be a minimum of three spaces above the procedure designator and number.
3.0 FORMAT The following information concerning procedure format is to be applied consistently to all E0P's.
3.1 Page Format Figure 1 provides a sample E0P cover sheet.
Figure 2 provides a sample title page.
Figure 3 provides a sample of an E0P entry page (Sections 1 and 2).
Figure 4 provides a sample procedure page (Section 3 with NOTE and CAUTION).
Figure 5 provides a sample of page layout.
3.2 Procedure Organization - Each E0P will have a Procedure Title followed by the below listed sections:
Section 1:
PURPOSE - the purpose section provides a brief statement of the condition (s) for which the subject E0P is intended to be used and defines what the procedure will accomplish.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 9 of 45
Section 2:
ENTRY CONDITIONS - the entry conditions section pro-vides the conditions for which that E0P should be imple-mented. This gives the operator a means of confirming that he has chosen the appropriate procedure for particular emergency conditions.
Section 3: OPERATOR ACTIONS - the operator actions are designed to mitigate the consequences of the event taking place and allow the operator to place the plant in a safe, stable condition. The only actions which are immediate and must be committed to memory are the Reactor Trip Immediate Actions.
The rest of the E0P's contain specific guidance dependent upon existing plant conditions after completion of the Reactor Trip Immediate Actions.
Instructions contained in this section shall be written in short, concise, and easily understood statements.
Instructions written in fragments, as opposed to complete sentences, provide the best use of space and allow for the clearest possible understanding.
Section 4:
PRINTED OPERATOR AIDS - this section of each E0P contains all of the figures and tables associated with that specific E0P.
Section 5:
SAFETY FUNCTION STATUS CHECK - the safety function status check is designed to continually verify that critical safety functions are being maintained. Evaluation of the plant parameters versus the acceptance criteria can help l
diagnose the event or can show what corrective actions should be taken to mitigate the consequences of the event.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 10 of 45
3.3 Section Numbering Section numbering is required to provide ease of identification of instructional steps in the procedure.
Figures 3 and 4 have been provided to show the desired section numbering system.
3.4 Instruction Step Numbering The following guidelines are established for instruction step numbering (for examples see Figures 4 and 5):
Instructional steps shall be numbered sequentially with the section number utilized as a prefix (e.g., 3.1, 3.2,...).
Contingency action steps shall be distinguished by an additional number following the prefixed section and instructional step numbers (e.g., 3.1.1, 3.2.1,...).
Limit the level of detail to 3 levels of steps below the general operator action or contingency action step.
Subordinate levels of detail alternate letter, number and lowercase Roman numerals.
Minimize indentation to give best use of space. Use for clarity only.

4.0 WRITING PROCEDURES 4.1 Control Room Staffing and Division of Responsibilities This section considers staffing in the control room and the division of responsibility and leadership among the control room staff as it applies to the use of the E0P's. The following guidelines are important to the efficient and accurate development, and execution of the E0P's.
4.1.1 Consistency Between Staffing and Procedures The E0P's should be structured so that the number of people required to carry out specific actions, concurrent actions, and other responsibilities, does not exceed the minimum shift staffing required by Technical Specification 5.2.2.a.
4.1.2 Division of Responsibility The E0P's should be written such that the operator's roles are consistent with the preestablished leadership roles and division of responsibility currently utilized at Fort Calhoun Station.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 12 of 45
t l
4.1.3 Operator Interactions The following goals shall be considered when writing the E0P's:
Sequence action steps to minimize both physical conflicts between personnel and the amount of movement needed to carry out the steps.
Unintentional duplication of actions by control room personnel should be avoided.
4.2 General Instructions E0P's must be written with the level of detail sufficient to support the user's needs. This requires the assumption of a minimum kncwledge and experience level. This level is defined to be an operator that has recently received a reactor operator's license on Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1.
It is important to keep this in mind when determining the level of detail of proce-dural steps, cautions, notes, and figures.
Avoiding too much detail is important in order to minimize errors and allow for timely response during emergency conditions. The following general rules are to be followed:
Instruction steps should deal with only one idea.
Instruction steps in the form of sentence fragments are preferable to long, compound, or complex sentences.
Instruction steps shall be completed on a single page and not carried over to the next page unless unavoidable.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 13 of 45
Notes and cautions should be in simple but complete sentences.
Complex evolutions should be described in a series of steps with each step made as simple as possible.
Objects of operator actions should be specificall / stated.
This shall include identification of exactly what is to be done, to what, and what the acceptance criteria are.
Verification should be used where appropriate in the E0P's to ensure that equipment responses and operator actions have occurred and are correct.
The objects of instruction steps that involve an action verb relating to three or more objects will be listed with space provided for operator checkoff.
Limits should be expressed as number values whenever-possible (refer to Subsection 5.5).
Mandatory sequence of steps is assumed unless otherwise stated.
" Step (s) performed continuously" are steps to be implemented anytime conditions warrant and shall be designated by an asterisk to the left of the checkoff provision.
"* Step performed continuously" shall be located at the lower left-hand corner of the applicable pages.
Parts and components should be identified by common usage terminology.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 14 of 45
Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated.
When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be act:omplished, prescribe such time frame by use of a Note.
If possible, avoid using time to initiate operator action. Operator actiuns should be related to plant parameters.
Use a Caution to describe conditions that may cause harm to personnel, damage to equipment, or that will introduce instrument error.
Instrumentation values shall be compatible with the ability to read the instrument.
Do not require mathematical calculations to convert units.
Use tolerance bands.
4.3 Writing Instruction Steps The E0P's shall be written in a single-column narrative format.
Figure 4 provides an example of the single column format.
4.3.1 Instructions and Contingency Actions Instructions shall be presented in the following manner (in addition to the general rules stated in section 4.1):
A check-off provision shall be provided to the left of each instructional step. This checkoff is also intended for use as a placekeeping aid.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 15 of 45
Begin each step with an action verb when logic terms are not required.
Include the location of the parameter or component being used in parenthesis if items are located in infrequently accessed, out-of-the-way places, or among arrays of items of similar appearance.
Contingency Actions (Equally Acceptable Steps) provide guidance to the operator for situations where the operator cannot perform the instructional step (e.g. a designated piece of equipment 's unavailable) or the results obtained do not fall within 'he range of expected values. These actions will most likely require the manual initiation of a system that is expe ted to operate automatically. Other actions may include-Reference to an 01/0P/A0P.
Reference to another E0P.
Reference to outside assistance from the TSC or E0F.
Continuing with the procedure.
4.4 Use of Logic Terms The logic terms AN9, OR, NOT, I_F, IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are often necessary to precisely describe a set of conditions or a sequence of actions. When logic statements are used, logic terms will be highlighted so that all conditions are clear to the operator.
Highlighting shall be achieved by capitalizing all letters of the logic terms and underlining these terms.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page _1_6 of _45
The use of AND and OR within the same action shall be avoided if possible. When AND and OR are used together, the logic can be very ambiguous.
Use the logic terms as follows:
When attention should be called to combinations of conditions, the word AND shall be placed between the description of each condition. The word AND shall not be used to join more than three conditions.
If four or more conditions need to be joined, a list format shall be used and the operator directed to perform them all.
The word OR shall be used when calling attention to alternative combinations of conditions. The use of the word OR shall always be in the inclusive sense. To specify the exclusive "0R", the following may be used:
"either A OR B but not both".
When action steps are contingent upon certain conditions or combinations of conditions, the step shall begin with the words E 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.
I F, is used for a possible condition.
Use of IF NOT should be limited to those cases in which the operator must respond to the second of two possible conditions. E should be used to specify the first condition.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 17 of 45
THEN shall not be used at the end of an action step to instruct the operator to perform the next step because it runs actions together, 4.5 Cautions and Notes Cautionary information can be considered in two fundamental cate-gories: those that apply to the entire procedure and those that apply to a portion or specific step of the procedure. Those that apply to the entire procedure are called " Precautions" and are covered in operator training. Those that apply to a specific portion of the procedure are called " Cautions" and are placed immediately before the procedural steps to which they apply.
Cautions are to extend across the entire page and shall be bordered top and bottom by a horizontal row of asterisks (see Figure 4).
This placement of cautions ensures that the procedure user observes the caution prior to performing the procedural step. A caution shall not be used instead of, instructional step and it cannot direct an action.
Cautions snould be used to denote a potential hazard to personnel or equipment associated with, or consequent to, the subsequent instructional step.
If additional information other than cautions is necessary to support an action instruction, a " Note" should be used. A " Note" should present information only, not instructions, and should be of compressed width in order to further differentiate it from text and cautionary statements (see Figure 4).
i E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 18 of 45
Specific rules for cautions and notes:
Never continue a caution or note from one page to the next.
Cautions are emphasized by their full page width, a horizontal row of asterisks top and bottom, and additional spacing top and bottom.
Notes are emphasized by their compressed width and additional spacing top and bottom.
If two or more cautions are written for the same procedural step or section, the horizontal row of asterisks is placed only below the last caution. The word CAUTION is written only before the first caution. The separate cautions will be identified by number.
The headings CAUTION and NOTE are always centered on the page, capitalized, and underlined.
4.6 Calculations Mathematical calculations should be avoided in E0P's.
If possible, a chart or graph should be used when a value has to be determined.
4.7 Use of Underlining Underlining will be used for emphasis, logic terms, cautions, notes, section headings, and column headings.
Use only where appropriate for required emphasis.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 19 of 45
4.8 Referencing and Branching to Other Procedures or Steps Referencing implies that an additional procedure or additional steps will be used as a supplement to the procedure presently being used. Use the key words " refer to".
The operator will know to use another source for additional information concurrent with the procedure in use.
Referencing other steps within the procedure being used, either future steps or completed steps, should be minimized because it causes confusion. When only a few steps are involved in the referencing, the steps should be stated in the procedure whenever they are needed.
To minimize the potential for cperator confusion, branching will be used when the operator is to leave one procedure or step and use another procedure or step. Use the key words "go to".
The opera-tor will know to leave the present step and not return until directed.
4.9 Component Identification With respect to the identification of components, the following rules are established:
Equipment, controls, and displays will be identified in common usage terms. These terms may not always match engraved names on panels but will be complete and sufficient.
When the engraved names and numbers of components are specifically used, the engraving should be quoted verbatim and enclosed in quotation marks.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 20 of 45
If the component is seldom used or it is felt the component would be difficult to find, location information should be given in parenthesis.
4.10 Level of Detail Too much detail in E0P's should be avoided in the interest of readability and comprehension. Avoiding too much detail is important in order to minimize errors and to allow for timely response during emergency conditions. The level of detail required is for that of an operator who has recently received a Reactor Operator's license on Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1.
To assist in determining the appropriate level of detail in the E0P's, the following general rules apply:
For 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. Example: Trip generator field breaker.
Recommended action verbs are listed as follows (a more detailed listing can be found in Table 3):
a.
For power-driven rotating equipment, use Start, Stop, b.
For valves, use Open, Close, Throttle Open, Throttle Close, Throttle.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 21 of 45 1
c.
For power distribution breakers, use Synchronize and Close, Trip.
For multiposition control switches that have more than one position for a similar function, placement to the desired position should be specified.
Example:
Place the steam dump and bypass steam "AUT0-INHIBIT" switch to " INHIBIT".
Instructions for dealing with abnormal results need not be prescribed within procedural steps when it is a matter of standard practice.
For example, observation of noise, vibration, erratic flow, or discharge pressure need not be specified by steps that start pumps.
4.11 Printed Operator Aids 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.
4.11.1 Units of Measure Units of measure on graphs, charts, tables, and figures should be given for numerical values consistent with control room indications which represent observed, measurement data, or calculated results. A virgule (slant line) shall be used instead of "per".
Examples:
ft/sec, lbs/hr.
See Table 1 for acceptable abbreviations.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 22 of 45
4.11.2 Titles and Headings Capitalization should be used for references to tables and figurcs, titles of tables and figures within text material, and column headings within a table.
4.11.3 Figure, Table, and Attachment Numbering Sequential arabic numbers should be assigned to figures, tables, and attachments in separate series. The sequence should correspond with the order of their reference in the text. The symbol
"#" and abbreviation "No." are unnecessary and should not be used. The number alone suffices.
Examples:
Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
Table 1, Table 2, etc., Attachment 2, etc.
Page identification for figures, tables and attachments should consist of (1) procedure number, (2) procedure revision, (3) attachment number, and (4) page number. Page numbering shall comply with the requirements of subsection 2.6.
5.0 MECHANICS OF STYLE 5.7 Spelling Spelling should be consistent with modern usage. When a choice of spelling is offered by the dictionary, the first spelling should be used.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 23 of 45
5.2 Hyphenation Hyphens are used between elements of a compound word when usage calls for it. The following rules concerning hyphenation shall be followed:
When doubt exists, restructure the compound word to avoid hyphenation.
Hyphens should be used in the following circumstances:
a.
.n compound numerals from twenty-one to ninety-nine.
Example: one hundred thirty-four b.
In fractions.
Examples: one-half, two-thirds c.
In compounds with "self".
Examples:
self-contained, self-lubricated d.
When the last letter of the first word is the same vowel as the first letter of the second (two words may be used as an alternative).
Example:
fire-escape or fire escape e.
When misleading or awkward consonants would result by joining the words.
Example:
bell-like f.
When a letter is linked with a noun.
Examples: x-ray, o-ring, I-beam E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 24 of 45
g.
To separate chemical elements and their atomic weight.
Examples: Uranium-235 or U-235 5.3 Punctuation Punctuation should be used only as necessary to aid reading and prevent misunderstanding. Word order should be selected to require a minimum of punctuation. When extensive punctuation is necessary for clarity, the sentence shall be rewritten and
~possibly made into several sentences.
Punctuation shall be used in accordance with the following rules:
5.3.1 Brackets Do not use brackets.
5.3.2 Colons Use a colon to indicate that a list of items is to follow.
Example: Restore cooling flow as follows:
5.3.3 Commas Minimize the use of commas. Use of many commas is a sign the instruction is too complex and needs to be rewritten.
Use a comma after conditional phrases for clarity and ease of reading. Example: WHEN level drops to 60 inches, THEN start pumps...
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 25 of 45
5.3.4 Parentheses Parentheses shall be used to indicate panel numbers, locations, or other information judged to be suitable for parenthetical inclusion.
5.3.5 Periods
/
Use a period at the end of complete sentences and for indicating the decimal place in numbers.
5.4 Vocabulary Words used in E0P's should convey precise understanding to the operator. The following rules apply:
Use simple words. Simple words are usually short, common words of few syllables.
Use the words common to normal control room communications. Refer to Table 1 for common usage words.
Use words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, precise rather than blanket, and use their meaning consistently.
Only words with specific meaning should be used.
Acceptable verbs are listed in Table 3.
Avoid the use of pronouns.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 26 of 45
5.5 Numerical Values The use of numerical values should be consistent with the following rules:
Arabic numerals shall be used.
For numbers less than unity, the decimal point will be preceded by a zero.
Example:
0.1 The number of significant digits shall be equal to the number of significant digits available from the display and the reading precision of the operator.
Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction by the user is avoided. This can generally be done by stating acceptance values as limits.
Example:
580 to 600 F Do not write out numerical values.
Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables.
They should be the same as those used in the control room displays.
Example: psig (or psia) instead of psi ESPWG Rev. 00 Page 27 of 45
5.6 Abbreviations, Letter Symbols, and Acronyms The use of abbreviations should be minimized because they may be confusing to those who are not thoroughly familiar with them.
Abbreviations may be used where necessary to conserve time and space, and when their meaning in unquestionably clear to the operator. Acceptable abbreviations and acronyms are listed in Table 1.
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. Only those abbreviations listed in Table 1 shall be used.
Capitalization of abbreviations should be uniform.
If the abbre-viation is comprised of lower case letters, it should appear in lower case in a title or heading. The period should be omitted in abbreviations except in cases where the omission would result in confusion.
5.7 Capitalization Capitalization should conform to standard American English usage, but may also be used as a technique for emphasizing certain words or phrases.
6.0 TYPING FORMAT 6.1 General Typing Instructions The following general instructions are to be followed for all emergency operating procedures:
l E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 28 of 45

Procedures are to be typed on IBM Displaywriter, Burroughs Word Processor or equivalent.
Letter gothic, pitch 12 or larger, printwheel shall be used.
6.2 Page Arrangement The following page arrangement instructions should be followed:
Page margins are specified by the printed borders. Two type spaces are to be maintained between the text and borders.
Page identification information will be centered and one line space above the bottom page printed border.
See Figure 5 for an example of page layout.
6.3 Heading and Text Arrangement Block style, as illustrated in Figure 4, is to be used.
First-level section headings shall be in full capitals, with an under-score; second-level section headings shall be placed in initial capitals with an underscore; and third-level section headings shall be placed in initial capitals without an underscore.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 29 of 45 z
Section numbers shall begin two spaces from the left-hand printed border.
Three line spaces shall be allowed between headings and respective text.
Three line spaces shall be allowed between paragraphs.
Text will be typed using one-and-a-half line spacing.
6.4 Breaking of Words Breaking of words shall be avoided to facilitate operator reading.
6.5 Rotation of Pages Rotation of pages should be avoided if possible.
If pages need to be rotated, these rules shall be followed:
The top of the page with rotated print is the normal left-hand edge.
The page margins do not rotate.
Page identification and numbering will not be rotated.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 30 of 45
6.6 Printed Operator Aids Figures include graphs, drawings, diagrams, and illustrations. The following rules are established governing all figures:
The figure number and title shall be of gothic letter type, pitch 12 or larger.
The figure field shall be of sufficient size to offer good readability.
The essential message should be clear; simple presentations are preferred.
Labeling of graph axes shall be consistent with standard engineering practices.
Grid lines of graphs should be at least 1/8-inch apart; numbered grid lines should be bolder than unnumbered grid lines.
Labeling of items within the figure should be accompanied by arrows pointing to the item.
The items within the figure should be oriented naturally insofar as possible.
For example, height on a graph should be along the vertical axis.
In general, items within the figure should be labeled.
Typed labels shall be of gothic letter typed, pitch 12.
All lines in figures should be reproducible.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 31 of 45
-.7 r
r
Tables shall be typed using the following rules:
Type style and size should be the same as that for the f
rest of the procedure.
A heading should be entered for each column and centered within the column. The first letter of words in the column headings should be capitalized.
6.7 Cautions and Notes All notes and cautions should be distinguishable from the rest of the text by using the following format:
The applicable heading " NOTE" or " CAUTION" should be capitalized, centered, underlined and placed three line spaces below the preceding text.
The text of the note or caution shall be in block format, line-and-a-half spaced. The caution text will be indented five spaces from the left-hand printed margin and begun one-and-a-half line spaces below the heading. The text for notes will begin twenty spaces from the left-hand printed margin and one-and-a-half line spaces below the heading.
The right-hand margin of the text of the caution should be five spaces to the left of the right-hand printed margin.
The right-hand margin of the text of the note should be twenty spaces from the left of the right-hand printed margin.
E0PWG Rev. 00 Page 32 of 45
CAUTIONS shall be further highlighted by a line of asterisks one-and-a-half spaces above the heading and one-and-a-half spaces below the last line of the text.
See the examples presented in Figure 4.
6.8 Use of Foldout Pages The use of foldout pages should be avoided.
If foldouts are used, a foldout page is treated as a single page.
It should follow the format of a standard page except the width is different. The page should be folded so that a small margin exists between the fold and the right-hand edge of standard pages. This will reduce wear of the fold.
6.9 Use of Oversized Pages Oversize pages shall not be used. They shall be reorganized or reduced to a standard page.
6.10 Use of Reduced Pages Reduced pages should be avoided.
Final size of reduced pages should be standard page size.
7.0 REPRODUCTION Reproduction will be done on a standard copier, single-sided copy only. The reproduced copies of the E0P's will be inspected to ensure both legibility and placement on the page.

E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page _4 of 33
2.2 E0P Source Documents The following Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. I source documents shall be utilized during the validation process:
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Radiological Emergency Response Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 USAR Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Technical Specifications.
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Operating Procedures.
Results of E0P Verification.
3.0 DEFINITIONS Emergency Operating Procedures (E0P's) - plant-specific procedures which direct operator actions from a post-reactor trip state to a safe, stable condition. These actions are designed to effectively mitigate the consequences of the transients and accidents which have caused or necessitated a reactor trip.
Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPG's) - document which contains the translation of engineering data derived from transient and accident analyses into operational guidance which is utilized in E0P development.
E0P Source Documents - documents or records which provide the basis for the E0P's.
E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page 5 of 33
E0P Validation - a performance evaluation of the E0P's to determine whether trained operators can effectively manage emergency conditions in the plant using actions specified in the E0P.
The E0P's are evaluated for usability and operational correctness.
E0P Usability - a characteristic of E0P's that indicates the degree to which E0P's provide sufficient and understandable operator information to manage emergency conditions.
E0P Operational Correctness - a characteristic of E0P's that indicates the degree to which the E0P's are compatible with plant responses, hardware, and shift manpower to manage emergency conditions.
Table-Top Validation - method of validation whereby personnel explain and/or discuss procedure action steps for an observer /
review team in response to a scenario or as part of an actual industry operating experience review.
Walk-Through Validation - method of validation whereby control room
. operators conduct a step-by-step enactment of their actions during an emergency scenario for an observer / review team without carrying out actual control functions.
Simulator Validation - method of validation whereby control room operators perform actual control functions on simulated equipment during an emergency scenario for an observer / review team.
E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page 6 of 33
Reference Validation - method of validation whereby data developed in a common E0P validation program is referenced by similar plants.
Control Room Simulator - a device that dynamically models the plant functions as presented by control room instrumentation.
Mock-Up - static device (e.g., models, photos, drawings) that portrays the control room hardware and configuration.
Scenario - a structural plan of parameter and plant symptom changes that provide operating cues for the conduct of assessment.
4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1 Manager - Fort Calhoun Station The plant manager shall approve all E0P's and their revisions.
4.2 Plant Review Committee (PRC)
The PRC shall approve all E0P's and their revisions prior to final approval by the plant manager.
4.3 PRC E0P Subcommittee The PRC E0P Subcommittee, consisting of the Manager - Reactor and Computer Technical Services, the Supervisor - Operations, the Supervisor - Station Training and the Reactor Engineer shall be responsible for the following:
managing the validation program and ensuring its smooth coordination with the training program.
E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page 7 of 33
determining the scope of validation.
selecting the validation method or methods.
appointing and training an observer / review team.
3 persons for the simulator validation method (3-to-crew) 1 person per operator for the walk-through validation o

reviewing discrepancies and resolutions forwarded by observer / review team personnel forwarding procedure changes including recommended resolu-tions to the PRC and plant manager for approval.
4.4 Supervisor - Station Training The Supervisor - Station Training (or Supervisor - Training) shall be responsible for the following:
i arranging for rotating operating crews through the training / validation sessions.
scheduling simulator training time for validation purposes as appropriate.
E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page 8 of 33
5.0 E0P VALIDATION PROCESS Regardless of the validation method, the E0P validation process can be described by three phases: preparation, assessment, and resolution.
The initial E0P validation process shall consist of a combination of simulator and control room walk-throughs. The Combustion Engineering simulator shall be utilized to validate the dynamic response, since Omaha Public Power District has no plant-specific simulator. Control room walk-throughs will be used to encompass the plant-specific portion of the validation process. Subsequent E0P updates and revisions shall be validated as specified by the PRC E0P Subcommittee and will vary depending on the scope and extent of the change.
5.1 Preparation Each validation method will use the applicable evaluation criteria presented in Attachment 3, and the scenario to be used will be recorded on the appropriate scenario form of Attachment 1.
Table-Top / Walk-Through Scenario Form, E0P Validation Form 2.
Simulator Scenario Form, E0P Validation Form 3.
Further, specific guidance to prepare for each validation method is presented in the validation method checklist of Attachment 2.
5.2 Assessment Specific guidance for assessment using each validation method is presented in the validation method checklist of Attachment 2.
E0PVAP Rev. 00 Page 9 of 33
5.3 Resolution Resolution will be accomplished by reviewing discrepancies and comments presented on the Validation Discrepancy Sheet, E0P Validation Form 4.
The observer / reviewer will propose solutions, if needed, and forward to the PRC E0P Subcommittee for approval with the other designated documentation.
5.4 Validation of Task Analysis and Information Control Characteristics Review (ICCR)
The Validation Program shall also include the determination of whether the information needed by the operator, as determined by the task analysis and ICCR, is available in the control room.
6.0 DOCUMENTATION The documented items needed to provide a history of the validation program are specified in each validation method checklist of Attachment 2.
These items will be maintained as a validation package for QA retention.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose The following describes the purposes of the Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) Training Program:
Enable the operators to understand the structure and format of the E0P's.
Enable the operators to understand the technical bases of the E0P's.
Provide the operator with a working knowledge of the E0P technical content.
Enable the operators to effectively use the E0P's under emergency conditions.
1.2 Scope
, This program identifies and directs the phases of the E0P training program.
1.3 Applicability This program applies to initial E0P implementation and subsequent revisions of Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 E0P's.
E0PTP Rev. 00 Page 3 of 6 m
2.0 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 2.1 Initial Training The initial training process can be divided into the following areas: awareness and involvement in the upgrade process, individual study and review, classroom presentation and discussion, simulator instruction and control room walk-throughs, and examina-tion.
2.2 Awareness and Involvement in the Upgrade Process The E0P upgrade program progress will be discussed, and draft procedures reviewed and critiqued, during operator requalification training in 1984-85.
2.3 Individual Study and Review Each E0P will be reviewed by the licensed operators prior to classroom presentation.
2.4 Classroom Presentation and Discussion A series of lectures and discussion shall be presented which con::ist of the following:
Use of new E0P format Reactor Trip Immediate Actions All event-specific E0P's Use of the functional E0P E0P technical bases and human factors information E0PTP Rev. 00 Page 4_ of 6_
T 2.5 Simulator Instruction and Control Room Walk-Throughs Simulator instruction shall be utilized, if possible, to provide each operator the " hands on" experience of using the E0P's under control room operating conditions.
In addition, because Omaha Public Power District does not own a simulator, Fort Calhoun Station specific control room walk-throughs shall be utilized for each operator with the following simulator guidance continuing to be applicable:
Training conducted on the simulator should consist of a combination of simulated events and walk-throughs to exercise the E0P's.
A wide variety of scenarios, including multiple and sequential failures, should be used to exercise the E0P's.
Training should be conducted with a full shift complement, exercising each E0P to stress operator roles, interaction, and team training. Crew members should train by performing their normal and alternate control room functions.
2.6 Examination The operator's E0P knowledge and understanding shall be evaluated in accordance with the following:
A written examination shall be conducted at the completion of classroom training (see Section 2.4).
E0PTP Rev. 00 Page 5_ of 6
An operating evaluation at the conclusion of the simulator (walk-through) instruction.
If an operator is found to be deficient in any area, retraining and reexamination will be conducted in this area.
Every operator will be trained and have passed the examination prior to being placed on shift in the control room with the upgraded E0P's in place.
2.7 Revisions / Retraining Following the initial training program (as described above),
operator retraining will be conducted due to revisions to the E0P's and as part of the operator requalification program.
Future revisions to the E0P's may result from EPG revisions, revisions to plant-specific information, or improvements to existing safety analyses. Operator retraining will be performed prior to implementation of such revisions in accordance with the general methods described above.
3.0 DOCUMENTATION Documentation of operator training shall be maintained in accordance with existing Station Training Department procedures.
