1.2 Verification of S)!1TIDOWN MARGIN is required:
I When in Modes 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 within one hour f'
a.
after detection of an inoperable Control Rod and each 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter while the Control.Ro si l

t
- g Prior to initial operation above 52 Rated Thermal
.-~
n b.
i"y Power after each fuel loading.
When in Modes 3, 4 or 5 at least once per 24 c.
hours.
1.3 This procedure also provides instructions for determining the Keff of the reactor in its present state or predicting its value at future plant conditions.
2.0 APPLICABILITY This procedure is applicable in operational Modes 1, 2,
- 3. 4. 5 and 6.
3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS l
I i
3.L Xenon worth provided by reference curves assumes I
equilibrium conditions prior to shutdown.
In order to account for non-equilibrium conditions. the parameter Xenon power is used on the data sheets.
If the Xenon power for an equilibrium condition is desired, the Reactor power should be used: otherwise Data Sheet 4 must be used.
For the purposes of this procedure, i
equilibrium may be considered as operation within *S!
of a power level for 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
3.2 If boration or dilution is or has been occurring, ensure representative Reactor Coolant System (RCS) boren samples are used for analysis.

' If credit is taken for the presence of Xenon, ensure that its decay prior to the next scheduled calculation is accounted for.
3.4 The Power Block Penalty (term 48 on Data Sheet 2) is a Westinghouse recommendation.
It is to account for inaccuracies in the computer code used to produce non-equilibrium Xenon.
If the plant was shut down from equilibrium conditione or if no credit is taken for Xenon worth, (term 3B on~ Data Eheet 2) then enter 0 pcm for the Power Block Penalty: otherwise, enter 600 pcm.
3.5 Data Sheet 2 requires the use of the Critical Boron Table which assumes ARI (minus the most reactiva rod).
Data Sheet 2 therefore, can NOT be used to calculate Keff in Mode 3 with the shutdown banks withdrawn.
For Keff calculations performed for a condition othar than b
ARI, Data Sheet 3 must be used.
3.6 Data Sheet 3 requires the use of the Rod Worth Tableegg which assume Tavg greater than or equal to 557'F. ~< Data?N Sheet 3. therefore, can NOT be used to calculate Keff l
below HIP.
3.7 When looking up rod worths, if Xenon power is less chan 30%, use the H2P, NoXe worths: otherwise, use the HFP, l
EqXe worths.
l 4.0 PREREQUISITES AND INITIAL CONDITIONS NONE 5.0 INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 To calculate the Shutdown Margin for Mode 1 or 2. USE Data sheet 1.
5.2 To calculate the Shutdown Margin for Mode 3. 4, or 5.
USE Data Sheet 2.
5.3 To calculate the ARI Keff for Mode 3, 4. 5, or 6, USE Data Sheet 2.
l 5.4 To. calculate Keff with control banks oniv inserted at 557'F, USE Data Sheet 3.

D W ER4BILITY POLICY I. OPERASILITY is a
condition of compliance with the Technical Specifi~:tions.
It.i s initially achieved through an exhaustive construccion and testing program, and maintained by successful and timely completion of surveillance requirements.
The achieved state e; operability is protected and ensured by our work and configuration contml programs and deficient condition evaluations.
j OPERASILITY applies only to the specific equipment covered by the
)
Technical Specifications.
(Equipment not included in the Technical Specifications should be called " functional" or "not functional" to avoid confusion).
The legal definition given in the Technical Specifications is:
OPERABLE - OPERA 81LITY 1.lg A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERASILITY when it is capable of perfomin6,its specified function (s),
and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, electrical power, cooling or seal water.
lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system. subsystem, train component, or device to perfom its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s).
II. The determination of OPERABILITY is' the responsibility of the
'J Operations Department.
The other plant groups are msponsible i
to observe conditions, report specific
- problems, and support operations in making a
determination of equipment
- status, i
Interpretation of Technical Specification requirements is the i
responsibility of operations line management.
These dataminations I
and interpretations should be made using the collective knowledge of our plant staff.
III. When surveillance mquirements art not met, or specific evidence exists that Technical Specification regnired ehuipment does not l
meet the OPERABILITY definition, the equipment shall be declared INOPERABLE and the appropriate ACTION statement shall be followed.
be documented using (the "LC0" fom, and entry in the This will Supervisor log book.
Short torn entries into ACTION Shift statements do not require an LC0 fom but must be logged).
The time of entry into the LC0 ACTION statement shall be the time of l
discovery - the point in time at which responsible parties become amare of the condition.
p When the INOPERABLE qquipmentTs not required to be OPERA 8LE during the existing OPERATIONAL MDE. an "infomation only" LC0 shall be initiated for tracking and operational control.
I
...,..a.
~
q 2
e OPERABILITY POLICT' III. Cont'd, We will plan our work to minimize the number of LC0's, and timely corrective action will be taken to minimin down time of Technical Specification required equipment.
For.uno1'anned outages of equipment with an action statement tima of 7 days or less, or a planned autage with less than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> action statement time remaining corrective action should proceed around the clock, and appropriate personnel called out to restore-the equipment to operable status.
IV. Sometimes conditions are revealed that coul msult in equipment not being able to perform its in s gn function, but it is difficult (or impossible) to determine;if'0PERA8!LITY is affected, with existing information.
In such cases, anr operability evaluation shall be initiated immediately by Operations, with support frwm Plant Engineering.
NSAC.
H.P./ Chemistry.. Maintenance. or other technical experts as appropriate. Correctivet or compensatory actions should be initiated, where possible and yi '.t. in parallel,with
.this operability evaluation.
If tha GPERASILITY evaluation is that the equipment fails to meet the definition of OP
- ITY, the equipment shall be declared IN0PERA8LE'. and.the appropriate action statement entered with the action clock beginning at the time IN0PERABILITY was determined.
Special attention must be paid 'to peripheral operability impacts such as equipment qualification, flood patection missile shields, i
line break protection.
These impingement' plates, or high energ{ protection, may require special items. often referred to as " hazard design engineering expertise for a pmper OPERASILITY evaluation.
4
-(Even though OPERABILITY may not be affected we shall take timely corrective action to restore the plant to its intended design 4
condition.)

I guess I should add 9
something on that matter also.
I guess one of the 10 things we have done well is while Pat is an Executive j
11 Vice President of Nuclear, it does mean that he is 12 available to the site.
He visits the site.
He is 13 there.
He talks to the people and he looks at the t
i 14
-equipment.
We've tried to use that philosophy for all 15 of our operations.
It doesn't stop with Pat.
I have i
16 the same type of a relationship.
I guess we could go 17 even further than that.
We do have a Board of 18 Directors committee for oversight of nuclear.
They 19 oven visit the site.
So, it's not removed.
20 I think we have established the kind of a and the kind of a personal hands on with 21 relationship 22 management.

Let me expound on that just a 5
moment.
One of our major management techniques is 6
managing problems and we keep pretty comprehensive 7
lists of the top problems, top 10, 20, 30 problems.
8 Those problems are reviewed periodically by all levels 9
of management including the Board of Directors.
We 10 have a completely technical meeting with the Board of 11 Directors describing such things as the PERN problem 12 and any other kind of a technical problem there is, so 13 that the entire management structure is involved in
\\
.C 14 personnel matters, technical matters and what have you 15 on a routine basis.
All these facts which might 16 otherwise get lost are brought up to the top level of I
17 the company.
I 18 On the Board of Directors committee, which 19 he takes part, we have some very capable people from 20 various walks of life, like almost any board.
We have

21 a gentleman who is head of a big construction company

So, I think 23 that we talk technical detail on a routine basis with 24' all levels of management very frequently.

We have 12 changed the name of Mr.

The term

" plant manager" was.often construed to mean the person j
15 in charge of the plant. Really, the general manager is 16 the man who's in charge of the plant.
It's been 17 confusing.
So, we changed those two titles to 18 Assistant General Manager of Operations and Assistant 19 General Manager of support.

There is no clearly defined person I serve responsible for acting as agent for the Joint Owners.

on the Joint Subcommittee for Power Generation (and as currently l
serving as Chairman) and deal with their. Nuclear Operations people probably more than anyone else.
However, you are involved, several of your people are involved and others.
I It was my understanding when we tried to negotiate a contract between GPC and SONOPCD and amend the contract betw the Joint Owners, that I would act as 0PC's (for example) agent.
working for George Head, and that all interactions on nuclear l
matters between GPC and CPC would come through as with the l
exception of some specific, routine reports that would be I as prepared to provided directly from $0N0PC0 to all owners.
I l
handle that.
Yet,.on Friday, April' 21. I received a call from John Meter stating that the SONOPCO Project was establishing a Quarterly i
I to discuss Nuclear l
Review M6eting 'with GPC's. Joint Owners John asked if that meeting could replace the Joint f
Op,erations.

Communications:
On January Ig, Pat Mcdonald called to say he was developing an E nati cystem to connect all Joint Owners -
i including GPC. One of its purposes was to provide daily reports to each Joint Owner on the status of our plants. He asked me to
]
contact Roy Barron to work out dotat1s. I did.
j k
I On Monday, March 13 (I believe that was the date). Roy Barron told me that the systes was ready to do a test run and all he I
needed was to get Pat Mcdonald's approval.
I called Pat to ask for his approval but he was out of town in Florida. I asked his secretary to ask him if it were okay when he called in.
She 3
i called back on March 15 to say she had been unable to ask him.
I talked with Pat on Tuesday, March 21, and he said the systen l
wasn't ready.
