1.0 LICENSED OPERATOR GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES 4

1.1 Licensed Operators are assigned the responsibility of performing the following i functions.

i 1. Alertness / Attention to Duty  !

Operations Department personnel have the individual responsibility to be alert i

throughout their shift assignment. In addition to maintaining alertness, i

Operations Department personnel shall be attentive to the work and tasks they 1 perform to assure that they are accomplished completely and accurately.

j Reactor Operators shall comply with the specific directions related to alertness and attention to detail during Control Room assignments.

a. Reactor Operators l

1 The following requirements are applicable to the Reactor Operators on-duty in the Control Room.

IO 1) Operators shall be alert and attentive to alarms and, if appropriate, shall take timely action to address and correct the cause of the alarms. It is expected that operators will maintain parameters within normal ranges so that the number of actuated alarms is minimized.

2) Operators'shall monitor the console and panel displays frequently to determine trends and to detect the development of problems.

3) Operators shall take prompt actions to determine the cause of the abnormalities, advise Shift Management of the abnormalities and take corrective action.

4) Operators shall not undertake more concurrent evaluations than they can safety and effectively control. An excessive number of such concurrent evaluations can compromise the individual's ability to detect and respond to abnormal conditions. It is the responsibility of the operator to report to Shift Management situations in which a large number of concurrent evaluations do or could detract from the operator's attention to work activities.

5) When the Reactor Operators are changing plant reactivity, other activities should not distract them from the reactor controls.

l 1.oM-3 3. R4v.0 Page 3 of 8 g

l 'G)

6) Operators must be continuously alert to plant conditions and ongoing activities affecting plant operations including conditions external to the plant such as grid stability, meteorological conditions, and changes in support equipment status; operational occurrences i should be anticipated; off-normal conditions should be promptly responded to; problems affecting reactor conditions should be corrected in a timely fashion.

b. Attentiveness The Quality Assurance Program requires frequent monitoring and checking of plant systems. Such monitoring shallinclude status in the Control Room and general operating conditions in the operating areas of the plant.

A primary method of monitoring operating status and conditions is the observation of equipment, controls, and displays. These observations obtain the following types of information:

1) Configuration of the equipment or system (e.g. valve position, switch position, instruments isolated or valved into service, including that of blocked equipment).

2) Condition of equipment or system (e.g. clean, dirty, blocked by material or trash, vibrating, overheated, etc.).

3) Status of equipment (e.g. shutdown, operating, isolated, in standby, etc.).

4) Status of alarms or other warning indicators such as barriers or signs.

5) Process parameters (e.g. voltage, temperature, flow, pressure) with respect to expected or normal values.

i Rounds and Observation of these items is a primary activity of Operations Shift personnel.

Observations are classified into two situations, awareness observations and scheduled observations. These observations, their action results, and documentation requirements are summarized in the following paragraphs.

(]

v During their normal shift activities, Operations Shift personnel should be aware of the conditions of equipment, areas, and ongoing work

_..m . _ . _ _ - . _ __.__m_,__. _ . . _ _ _ . _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ . . _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _

I g 1 oM-3.3, Rzv. 0 Page 4 of 8 that they encounter, For example, noticing a stream or pool of water D that should not normally exist is being aware of plant conditions.

Other types of problems that Operations Shift personnel should be aware of are steam leaks, unusual vibrations, pipe hanger movement l

and personnel safety hazards. l If an abnormal situation, an adverse trend or an unsafe condition is observed, the observer shall promptly advise Shift Management.

The Shift Narrative Log or the Surveillance Log sheets maintained by the observer should include a brief description of their observations.

To assure that equipment, systems Annunciators, displays or areas are observed on a routine basis, obsen/ations are assigned to several Operations Shift personnel.

During these Rounds, the operator records the equipment / system parameter data or conditions of the round sheet or Surveillance Log and evaluates the conditions of the structure and equipment in the '

general area of the equipment. To communicate information to other operators, round sheets or Surveillance Logs are reviewed by Shift Management and used as part of the Shift Turnover process.

2. Conduct shift activities in compliance with Regulatory Requirements, Company O- Requirements, and Company Commitments.

3. Operate the plant and monitor plant parameters in compliance with controlled procedures /information.

4. lE an automatic action fails to occur when the conditions exist that should have initiated the automatic action, manually initiate the action.

i,

5. Ensure non-licensed personnel do not operate apparatus and mechanisms, the manipulation of which DIRECTLY affect the reactivity or power level of the reactor except in training situations. The non-licensed personnel have to be enrolled in a certified training program

6. Respond to alarms and indications.

7. Maintain logs and records.

1 8. The appropriate Reactor Operator shall inform the Unit Supervisor (US) of the following:

[

i A. ' The commencement of testing required by Technical Specifications

,O (TS), or the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).

l 1.0 SHIFT TECHNICAL ADVISOR

\

l 1.1 Maintain the ability to objectively evaluate conditions that could potentially compromise plant safety by maintaining a degree of independence from normal plant operations.

Maintain the Big Picture. Specifically:

1. Do not get focused on any one single issue, but rather ensure that all issues that need to be addressed are being given the correct level of attention.

2. Be present in the Control Room during the implementation of Emergency Operating Procedures and during plant transients.

3. When contacted by Control Room personnel that an ONP or EOP has been entered, ensure that the plant conditions are understood and that the correct l

actions are being taken.

4. Be aware of plant conditions, including reactivity changes, in order to detect off-l normal or emergency conditions. When any are detected, advise the on-shift crew if the plant does not respond as anticipated.

5. During an emergency, always ensure the critical parameters are monitored and l( p) correctly addressed.

l l

6. Assist the on-shift crew in interpreting and applying the requirements of the l

Technical Specifications and TRM requirements.

l

7. Perform an early review of planned activities for the shift to determine if any L special considerations or precautions are needed.

l l 2.0 The STA shall maintain a status of normal plant operation in order to make objective evaluation about operating conditions that may compromise safe plant operation.

l 2.1 The STA will recognize off-normal and emergency conditions and compare plant response with analyzed conditions. He will advise the Operating shift if any departure l from anticipated plant response is noted by:

l l 1. Assessing plant response independently of the Operating shift l

2. Monitoring key plant parameters (e.g. reactor water level, reactor pressure, reactor power, containment integrity, etc.) to ensure parameters are following expected patterns and actions are correct to maintain parameter within limits defined in plant Emergency Operating Procedures.

hs 3. If critical parameters become unavailable due to instrument failure, calculate, or

! through other means, determine approximate values for the parameters in question.

4. Investigate the cause(s) and progression of abnormal or unusual events during

\

assigned shifts, evaluate effectiveness of procedures utilized with thought to future mitigation and avoidance.

! 5. Simulator training will be included in the requalification program. During simulator

! training the STA will actively assume the role of an independent overviewer of transient response. While observing critical piant parameters during a transient, the STA will demonstrate his ability to advise the Shift manager / Unit Supervisor when incorrect or unexpected plant response is occurring.

BRIEFINGS l 1.0 PURPOSE 1,1 Industry operating experience has proven that even the most routine evolutions can rapidly degenerate into major mishaps due to poor communications. Briefing is a j useful tool to help improve communications and teamwork.

2.0 PRE AND POST JOB BRIEFINGS 2.1 Briefings should be conducted prior to any evolution, especially complex or operationally significant evolutions. Examples of evolutions may include, but are not limited to:

1. Clearance applications.

2. Troubleshooting.

3. Surveillance procedure performance.

4. Infrequently performed procedure.

r

( 2.2 Briefings should include all personnel involved in the upcoming evolution or procedure.

2.2.1 The meeting may involve shift personnel as well as non-shift personnel (e.g.

system manager, l&C technician, etc.). A briefing may be as small as two people (i.e. US and System Manager discussing the scope of a Trouble Shooting plan).

2.3 The purpose of a briefing is to ensure that all applicable personnel:

1. Clearly understand the work to be performed.

2. Have an opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns.

3. Have the information required to prevent personnel error due to misunderstandings or inadequate communications.

2.4 Depending of the specific evolution, items to be considered at the briefing should include, but not be limited to:

1. Scope of the work to be performed.

i

! r~

2. Procedure (s) to be used during the evolution, including temporary changes in i effect.

3. Responsibilities and assignments.

e

'[ 1-oM- 4.2, R:v. 0 Page 3 of 4

3. Responsibilities and assignments.

h, U 4. Who to contact if problems arise.

5. Physical boundaries (e.g. personnel should not break the plane of an electrical cabinet when performing a visual inspection).

6. Expected responses.

7. What unexpected actions could occur and worst case scenarios.

a. Determine who will take what actions to place the plant in a safe condition when unexpected conditions occur or expected actions do not occur.

8. Past problems encountered while performing similar evolutions.

9. Types of communication to be used and actions to be taken if communications are lost.

10. Safety precautions and safety equipment needed.

11. Known equipment problems, high radiation areas, high noise areas, etc., that p might contribute to degraded conditions.

V 2.5 Briefings shall be performed for any planned evolution with the potential to affect reactivity. Examples of reactivity related evolutions include:

1. Power Reductions for rod pattern adjustments or recirc MG set maintenance.

2. Removal of feedwater heaters form service.

3. Plant startups and shutdowns.

2.6 Briefings are required for Infrequently Performed Test and Evolution (IPTEs) in accordance with station procedures.

2.7 For IPTEs, the briefing shallinclude: i

1. A review of the objectives and initial conditions.

2. Expected plant response, termination guidance, risks, and individual responsibilities.

n 2.8 Shift Management may consider the option of running scenarios for certain evolutions

(,) on the simulator as an aid in determining plant response.

Page 4 of 4 2.9 Documentation of briefs should be accomplished by an entry into the Narrative Log.

l(3 V 3.0 BRIEFINGS DURING TRANSIENTS 3.1 During transients, Shift Management should conduct briefings at opportune times to ensure team members are updated on the status of the transient. These briefings should ensure that the appropriate personnel are made aware of the following items:

. The brief should begin with a statement that gets the attention of all the personnel that the brief is intended for.

l

. The brief should include information about what has happened, present status, '

and plans for the future.  ;

i

. Where we have BEEN  !

1

. Where we ARE

. Where we are GOING l

. The brief should clearly establish the crew's priorities such that every crew member knows what task (s) is paramount and which are secondary.

A U e The brief should clearly establish the principle mitigation strategy. 1

. The initial brief after a Scram should include what emergency or off-normal procedures the crew has entered and the electrical lineup, l

. Orders should not be given during a brief.

. When the brief is concluded, ALL the personnel listening to the brief should be solicited for their input, understanding and individual acknowledgment.

. The brief should be closed with "End of brief" or similar statement.

3,2 After plant stabilization following a transient, the Shift Manager should hold a debriefing with appropriate personnel prior to disbanding.

3.2.1 This practice will allow communication of all pertinent facts while fresh to a!d in performance of the post trip review.

3.2.2 Notes should be taken during this meeting and included in applicable procedures as required.

3.3 Briefing methods described in this Section shall also be applied in simulator scenarios.

Page 3 of 3 SHIFT TURNOVER POLICY w) 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 This policy specifies timing and compensation requirements associated with Shift Turnover for posted positions.

1.2 This policy applies to the following posted positions: Shift Manager, Unit Supervisor, Control Operator, Plant Equipment Operator and STA.

2.0 GENERAL 2.1 Safe operation of a nuclear power plant requires a thorough turnover process before assumption of shift duties. Shift relief and turnover is a critical period during ,

power plant operations. A comprehensive exhange of pertinent information shall I take place among all oncoming and off going shift personnel during shift relief and turnover.

NOTE: The conduct of a thorough turnover process is a job requirement for both the oncoming and offgoing operator and results in the offgoing operator working in excess of a normal 12-hour shift. This is not violation of NGP 1.09 " Overtime l Controls for Nuclear Group Personnel" (o) 2.2 l
