ww. g- --Ag 7,n II. E0P DESIGNATION AND NUMBERING E0Ps are procedures that govern PNPS plant operation during emergency conditions. Each PNPS E0P shall be uniquely identified to permit easy administration of the process of procedures preparation, review, revision, distribution, and operator use.
A. COVER SHEET l
l Every E0P will have a cover sheet, see figure 1. The primary purposes of this cover sheet are (1) to identify the procedure, (2) to provide a list of effective pages, and (3) to identify Proc . 1.3.4-10 Rev. O Page 5 of 40 i
the latest approvrd revisicn of cach individual page. Each time an E0P is revised, the title page will be reissued to contain an updated List of Effective Pages and Attachment. To identify the procedure, a descriptive title is used that also designates the scope. The E0P revision located in the control room is considered the most current authorized revision.
B. PROCEDURE DESIGNATION The designator used for Emergency Operating Procedures is E0P.
C. PROCEDURE NUMBERING A sequential number follows the procedure designator and consists of two or more digits. Page numbers are listed separately.
Example E0P 01_
Sequence Number Procedure Designator D. REVISION NUMBERING AND DESIGNATION The revision number, along with the abbreviation "Rev", is used to designate the revision level of}ec{iW1(i(NilJpage" of the emergency operating procedure and is entered on the same line as the procedure designator and page number.

B. PROCEDURE ORGANIZA110N The following section headings are used for all E0Ps:
- 1. PURPOSE: The purpose of the E0P is stated for operator association with the ENTRY COND1110NS.
II. ENTRY CONDITIONS: The entry conditions include only those ,
alarms, indications, operating conditions, automatic 4 system actions, or other unique symptoms that the operator uses to decide what procedure to use under emergency situations.
]
III. OPERATOR ACTIONS: The operator actions are short, concise identifiable instructions that give appropriate directions to the user. The operator actions may be in the. form of-instruction steps, logic sequence diagrams, or a combination of the two.
. IV. DISCUSSION: Brief description of what using the E0P accomplishes and support information the operator may use in self study to enhance his familiarity with the procedural requirements.
l V. ATTACHMENTS: This section will contain, as required by the E0P, additional supporting information such as:
Special' case procedural guidance.
Description of automatic actions that may take place (Diesel Load SSedding).

IV. WRITING INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS A. INSTRUCTION CONTENT Instruction steps must be concise and precise. Conciseness denotes brevity; preciseness means exactly defined. Thus, instructions should be short and exact. This is easily stated, but not so easily achieved. General rules to be used in meeting these objectives are as follows:
- Instruction steps should deal with only one action or reaction.
- Short, simple sentences should be used in preference to long, compound, or complex sentences.
- Complex evolutions should be prescribed in a series of steps, with each step made as simple as practicable
- Objects of operator actions should be specifically stated. This includes identification of exactly what is to be done and to what.
- For instructional steps that involve an action verb relating to three or more objects, the objects will be listed with space provided for operator checkof f.
- Limits should be expressed quantitatively whenever possible (refer to Subsection V.E Numerical Values).
- Mandatory sequence of steps is assumed unless otherwise stated.
Proc . 1.3.4-10 Rev. O Page 12 of 40 l 1
^
J
e.
e
- Identification of components and parts shall be as commonly defined in every day operational procedures and checklists used by the operators or identified by panel or equipment nomenclature. (Refer to subsection IV. F Component Identification).
Instruction content should be written to communicate to the user.
- Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated.
- When actions are required based upon receipt of an annunciated alarm, list the setpoint of the alarm for ease of verification.
- When requiring resetting or restoration of an alarm or trip, list the expected results imediately following the task statement that resets or restores the plant system. FT"'ZTT_Y.-Q~-,
wwn m.,
- When anticipated system response may adversely affect instrument indications, describe the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and means of determining if instrument error has occurred by using a NOTE or when considered critical, a CAUTION (Refer to Subsection IV. C, Use of Cautionary Information and Notes)
- When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the available and expected backup readings to be made.

(1) (Operator'Instract,1ons3 w _.- --c The following rules are established for operator instructions in addition to the general rules above:
- Expected indication should be presented.
- Operator actions should be appropriate for the expected indications.
(2) Contingency Actions Contingency actions are operator actions that should be taken in the event a stated condition, event, or task does not represent or achieve the expected result. The need for contingency action occurs in conjunction with tasks involving verification, observation, confirmation, and monitoring.
Contingency actions will be specified for each circumstance in which the expected results or actions-might not be achieved. The contingency actions should identify, as appropriate, directions to override automatic controls and to initiate manually what is normally automatically initiated.

Logic sequence diagram action flow is always from the top of the diagram to the bottom. Action flow is always in the top of an action or decision symbol, and out the bottom and or sides (for decision symbol).
(4) Control Room Staffing 7 Utilization and normal location of crew and shif t personnel, plus the number and qualification of personnel in the control room, should be considered when determining the number of actions, concurrent actions, and other responsibilities that can be carried out, and the efficiency with which they can be accomplished.
Other factors which should be considered when writing the E0Ps are:
Minimization of physical conflicts between personnel (performing actions at the same locations at the same time).
Avoidance of unintentional duplication of tasks by 1 centrol room personnel.

. The logic terms AND, OR, NOT, J_F,, F IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are of ten necessary to describe precisely a set of conditions or
, - sequence of actions.' When logic statements are used, logic .
. terms will be highlighted so that all the conditions are clear Proc. 1.3.4-10 Rev. O Page 17 of 40 l -
s to the cparator. Emphasis will be achieved by using capitalization and underlining. All letters of the logic terms shall be capitalized and the words will be underlined. Refer to Figure 5 for example of use of logic terms.
The use of AND and OR within the same action shall be avoided.
When AND and QR are used together, the logic can be very ambiguous.
Use other 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 more than i three conditions need to be joined, a list format shall be used.
The word OR shall be used when calling attention to alternative combinations of conditions. The use of the i word QR shall always be in the inclusive sense. To specify the exclusive "0R" the following may be used:
"either A QR 8 but not both."
i When action steps are contingent upon certain conditions or combinations of conditions, the step shall begin with i the words lE 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. lE
[
is used for an unexpected but possible condition.

l Use cf 1[ NOT sh:uld b2 liaited to those cases in which l the operator must respond to the second of two possible conditions IF should be used to specify the first condition.
l THEN shall not be used at the er.d of an action step to instruct the operator to perform the next step because it runs actions together.
C. USE OF CAUTIONARY INFORMATION AND NOTES Cautionary information can be considered in two fundamental categories: those that apply to the entire procedure and those that apply to a portion of the procedural content. Those that apply to the entire procedure are called Precautions and are covered in operator training. Those that apply to a portion of a procedure are called CAUTIONS and are placed immediately before the procedural content to which they apply. CAUTIONS extend across the entire page. This placement of CAUTIONS helps ensure that the procedure user observes the CAUTION before performing the step. A CAUTION cannot be used instead of an
, instructional step. It should be used to denote a potential hazard to equipment or personnel 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 located as close to the applicable instruction as possible.
Notes are also extended across the page but are not boxed in as are CAUTIONS.
Refer to Figure 6 for examples of CAUTION statements. Figure 7 provides an example concerning placement of " notes" within text.

D. CALCULATIONS
. Mathematical calculations should be avoided in E0Ps. If a value must be determined in order to perform a procedural step, a chart or graph should be used whenever possible.
E. USE OF UNDERLINING Underlining will be used for emphasis of logic terms, CAUTION, and NOTES.
F. REFERENCE AND BRANCHING TO OTHER PROCEDURES OR STEPS Referencing implies that the procedure or steps will be used as a supplement to the procedure presently being used. Referencing other steps within the procedure being used, either future steps or completed steps, should be minimized. When only a few steps are involved in the referencing, the steps should be stated in the procedure wherever they are needed.
To minimize potential operator confusion, branching will be used when the operator is to leave one procedure and use another procedure. Use the key words "go to", " EXECUTE Procedure" or
" ENTER Procedure." Therefore, the operator will know when to leave the procedure and not return until directed. During some conditions, the procedure entered must be performed concurrently. Refer to Figure 5 for examples of branching and concurrent actions.
G. COMPONENT INDENTIFICATION With respect to identification of components, the following rules are established: !
Proc . 1.3.4-10 Rev. O Page 23 of 40 2
. . _ . . - a
4 i
- Equipment, centrols, and displays will be idsntified in operator language (common usage) terms. These terms may not always match engraved names on panels.
Where the engraved names and numbers on panel placards and alarm windows are specifically the item of concern in the procedure, the engraving should be quoted verbatim and emphasized by using all capitals.
- The names of plant system titles are emphasized by initial capitalization. When the word ' system" is deleted from the title because of brevity and is understood because of the context, the title is also emphasized by initial capitalization.
If the component is seldom used or it is felt that the
' component would be difficult to find, location information e should be given, in parentheses, following the l identification.
H. LEVEL OF DETAIL ,
Too much detail in E0Ps should be avoided in the interest of being able to effectively execute the inst, ructions in a timely manner. The level of detail is that detail that a newly trained and licensed operator would require during an emergency condition.
To assist in determining the IIvel of E0P detail, the following general rules apply.
For each infrequently used control with a number engraved on the control en*.41 placard, the number. should be Proc . 1. 3.4-10 Rev. O Page 24 of 40 4
. 1- , -- !- . .- , .- . . ~
includsd in parsntheses within the instructicnal step.
4 Example: Start RCIC Water Leg Pump (533).
For control circuitry that executes an entire function upon actuation of the control switch, the action verb appropriate to the component suffices with further amplification of how to manipulate the control device.
Example: close RECIRC PUMP A SUCTION VALVE. Examples of recommended action verbs are as follows:
For power-driven equipment, use Start, Stop.
For valves, use Open, Close, Jog Open, Jog Close, Throttle.
For power distribution breakers, use Synchronize and Close, Trip.
For control switches with a positional placement that establishes a standby readiness condition, the verb " Set" should be used, along with the engraved name of the desired position. Positional placements are typically associated with establishing readiness of automatic functions and are typically named AUTO or NORMAL. For example: Set the GLAND SEAL AIR COMPRESSOR Control Switch (515) in AUTO.
For multi-position control switches that have more than ,
one position for a similar function, placement to the desired position should be specified. For example:
" Place DIESEL FIRE-pump SELECTOR Switch to TEST'NO. 2."

I. PRINTED OPERATOR AIDS When information is presented using graphs, charts, tables or figures,these;a, ids ~shouldbeloc_atedjojacjlitate:eccess;anda r{usabijifyj They should also be self-explanatory, legible, and readable under the expected conditions of use, and must be within the reading precision of the operator.
(1) Units of Measure Units of measure KinstEEllinateps]tilit)?, and on figures, tables, and attachments should be given for numerical values which represent observed measurement data or calculated results. Use a virgula (slant line) instead of "per." Examples: ft/sec, Ibs/hr. (2) Titles and Headings Capitalization should be used for references to tables and figures, titles of tables and figures within text material, and column headings within a table. Examples: Refer to Figure 201 for . . .

w (3) Figure, Table, and Attachment Numbering i Sequential arabic numbers will 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, et:. Attachment A, Attachment B, etc. Page identification for attachments should consist of a block of information that identifies (1) procedure number, (2) attachment number, (3) page number, and (4) M revision number. Page numbering of attachments should meet the requirements of Subsection II. D (1) and II. 0 (2).

-8 V. MECHANICS OF STYLE A. SPELLING Spelling should be consistent with modern usage. When a choice of spelling is offered by a 'ictionary, the first spelling should be used.
B. HYPHENATION
- Hyphens are used between elements of a compound word when usage calls for it. The following rules should be followed for hyphenation.
When doubt exists, the compound word should be restructured to avoid hyphenation. Hyphens should be used in the following circumstances: In compound numerals from twenty-one to ninety-nine. Example: One hundred thirty-four. In fraction. Examples: one-half, two-thirds. In compounds with "self." Examples: self-contained, self-lubricated. 4 When the last letter of the first word is the same i vowel as the first letter of the second word; as an alternative, two words may be used. Example: fire-escape or fire escape. 1 When misleading or awkward consonants would result by joining the words. Example: hell-like. Proc . 1.3.4-10 Rev. O

\
To avoid confusien with ansther ward. Examples: ; re-cover to prevent confusion with recover, l pre-position to avoid confusion with preposition.
- When a letter is linked with a noun. Example:
X-ray, 0-ring, U-bolt, 1-beam. To separate chemical elements and their atomic weight. Examples: Uranium-235, U-235. C. 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 should be rewritten and possibly made into several sentences. Punctuation will be in
- accordance with the following rules.
I I (1) Brackets Do not use brackets. t (2) Colon Use a colon to indicate that something is to follow. For i example: Restore cooling flow as follows: (3) Comma Use of many commas-is a sign the instruction is too complex and needs to be rewritten. Proc . l .3.4-10 Rev.

,- After conditional phrases for clarity and ease of reading, use a comma. Example: WHEN level decreases to 60 inches, THEN start pump. ..
(4) Parentheses Parentheses will be used to indicate alternative items in a procedure, instruction, or equipment numbers. (5) Period Use a period at the end of complete sentences and for indicating the decimal place in numbers. D. VOCABULARY Words used in procedures should convey precise understanding to the trained person. The following rules apply. Use single words. Simple words are usually short words of few syllables. Simple words are gen
- rally common words.
Use common usage if it makes the procedure easier to i understand. Use words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, and precise rather than blanket. Define key words that may be understood in more than one sense. P roc . 1.3.4-10 Rev. 0

.[ Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction by the user is avoided if
! possible. This can generally be done by stating i
j acceptance values as limits. Examples: 510*F maximum, [ 300 psig minimum, 580*F to 600*F. For calibration points, j statement of the midpoint and its lower and upper limits l for each data cell would accomplish the same purpose. For l example: 10 milliamperes (9.5 to 10.5) I j F. A88REVIATIONS, LETTER SYM80LS, AND ACRONYMS I j -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 save time and j space, and when their meaning is unquestionably clear to the intended reader. The full meaning of the abbreviation should be written before the first use of the abbreviation and whenever in
} doubt. Consistency should be maintained throughout the I procedure, i
1 Capitalization of abbreviations should be uniform. If the l j. abbreviation is comprised of Iowercase letters, it should appear l in lowercase in a title or heading. The period should be l omitted in abbreviations except in cases where the omission I would result in confusion. Letter symbols may be used to represent operations, quantities, l elements, relations, and qualities. I Proc . 1.3.4-10 ' Rev. 0 j .Page 34 of 40 . l' .i j ,. . .l - - i .

?. An acr:nym is a typ2 ef symb31 fcrmed by the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound tem. Acronyms may be used if they are defined or commonly used. Abbreviations, symbols, and acronyms should not be overused. Their use should be for the benefit of the reader. They can be beneficial by saving reading time, ensuring clarity when space is limited, and consnunicating mathematical ideas. The first time an abbreviation is used in an E0P, spell out the word (s) followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, use the abbreviation. VI. TYPING FORMAT A.
