Procedures are reviewed in accordance with programmatic procedures and recommendations made to the functional unit manager under whose authority they were prepared. The procedures are issued following approval by the designated approval authority.
In case of procedures affecting activities in more than one functional unit, the concurrence of the affected units will be obtained.
- Further information is contained in the TMI appendix.
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 19 of 33 13.5.1.3 Procedures.
- 1. Standing Order to Operations: The responsibilities and authorities of plant personnel are delineated through standing orders to Shift Manager and shift crews. In addition, corporate management periodically issues directives which emphasize that the primary management responsibility of the Superintendent - Shift Operations is to ensure safe operation of the plant during the shift, which clearly establishes the S - SO command duties.
- a. Authority and Responsibility of Reactor Operator: The reactor operator has the responsibility and authority for manipulating controls which directly or indirectly affect core reactivity and/or the manipulation of apparatus and mechanisms other than controls which may affect the reactivity or power level of a reactor, including tripping the reactor should it be deemed necessary. The reactor operator is responsible for knowing the limits and setpoints associated with safety related equipment and systems contained in the Technical Specifications and in the operating procedures.
- b. Authority and Responsibility of Senior Reactor Operator: The Shift Manager, who is a licensed senior reactor operator, has, in addition to the authority and responsibility assigned to the reactor operator, the overall responsibility for licensed activities on the Unit under S - SO command. S - SO fundamental and primary responsibility on shift is to maintain at all times a broad perspective on operational conditions affecting plant safety. The Shift Manager shall remain in the Control Room at all times during emergency situations to direct the activities of control operators. Pursuant to 10CFR50.54(m), the Shift Manager shall be present at the facility during initial startup and approach to power, recovery from an unplanned or unscheduled shutdown or significant reduction in power, refueling, or as otherwise prescribed in the facility license.
The Shift Manager shall not engage in administrative functions that detract from the overall responsibility for assuring safe operation of the Unit under S - SO command. The Shift Manager (or a designated SRO qualified individual) is responsible for directing the licensed activities of licensed operators, pursuant to 10CFR50.54(1).
- c. Manipulation of Controls: Administrative control procedures state that no one is permitted to manipulate facility controls which affect reactivity if they are not a licensed reactor operator or senior reactor operator, except for license trainees operating under the direction of a licensed operator or senior operator, pursuant to 10CFR50.54(i).
- d. Operations Affecting Reactivity: Administrative control procedures require that personnel operating plant apparatus and mechanisms other than controls, which may affect the reactivity or power level of the Unit, notify and obtain permission of the control room operator prior to initiating such action, pursuant to 10CFR50.54(j).
- e. Presence of Licensed Operator at Controls: A licensed reactor operator or senior reactor operator is required by administrative procedure to be present "at the
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 20 of 33 controls" at all times during the operation of the Unit, pursuant to 10CFR50.54(k).
Figure 13.5.1-1 indicates the area of the Control Room which is designated "at the controls."
Due to the arrangement of the control panels, parts of the main control board are not visible to an operator located at panel AEP-1. Administrative procedures define the area adjacent to AEP-1 as a "limited time area" to allow necessary manipulation of controls and alarm verification. Time spent in this area by an operator assigned to the "at the controls area" is to be minimized. Additionally, when the operator assigned to the "at the controls area" needs to enter the "limited time area" either an SRO or RO assigned to the current control room shift remains "at the controls" area within view of the main control board.
Implementation of the "limited time area" is in accordance with Section C.1.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.114, "Guidance to Operators at the Controls and to Senior Operators in the Control Room of a Nuclear Power Unit," Rev. 2.
- f.
Shift and Relief Turnover: Administrative control procedures provide a formal means of assuring that the oncoming operating shift has the necessary knowledge of critical plant status information and system availability. The procedures include checklists to be completed and signed by the offgoing shift personnel and reviewed and signed by the oncoming shift personnel. In addition, provision is made for periodic review to evaluate the effectiveness of turnover between the oncoming and offgoing shifts.
- g. Control Room Access: Administrative control procedures establish the authority and responsibility of the Superintendent - Shift Operations for limiting access to the Control Room. In general, access is limited to those individuals responsible for the direct operation of the Unit, to technical advisors required or requested to support operations such as maintenance or other personnel required to perform work or complete testing within the Control Room area.
- 2. Special Orders of a Transient Nature: From time to time, management issues special orders to the plant staff to conduct (or not to conduct) certain activities which require no changes or additions to existing procedures and/or instructions. These special orders are of a temporary or transient nature with limited duration. Typically, these special orders appear in the form of Night Orders to the Operating Shifts.
- 3. Equipment Control Procedures: A clearance procedure or an equipment tagging process is utilized for the purpose of protecting plant equipment and personnel.
Equipment that is unsatisfactory for service or in an off normal configuration, will be controlled by use of a clearance or other plant approved configuration control instructions and documentation. These procedures are administratively controlled to include applicable regulatory requirements.
- 4. Control of Maintenance and Modifications The requirements for controlling plant maintenance and modifications are set forth in DEPs Corporate Quality Assurance Manual.
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 21 of 33
- a. Maintenance: Procedures and instructions are applied to control maintenance of safety related items. Maintenance procedures and instructions include the following information, as appropriate:

Procedures utilized for maintenance of safety-related structures, systems, or components are reviewed as provided for in Section 17.3.4.2 of the FSAR. This review ensures that the equipment is returned to a state of quality at least equivalent to that specified originally.
The administrative control of plant maintenance is provided by Station Administrative Controls. These controls define priorities and documentation for maintenance and repair work. The work priority established is based on urgency, and proper QA/QC considerations are given to the work.
- b. Modifications: Plant modifications and changes to defined setpoints are developed in accordance with approved procedures. These procedures assure necessary activities associated with the modifications are carried out in a planned, controlled, and orderly manner. For each modification, design documents such as drawings, equipment and material specifications, and appropriate design analysis are developed or the as-built design documents are utilized. Based on the information in the design documents, a written evaluation is prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. This evaluation contains the technical data, supporting evaluations, and the review questions considered and analyzed that form the bases for determining whether the modification does or does not require a license amendment to implement. Separate reviews are conducted by individuals knowledgeable in both technical and QA requirements to verify the adequacy of the design effort. The final modification package is reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.3 of the FSAR. The purpose of this review is to assess the potential degradation of plant quality as a result of the proposed modification.
In particular, the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation, conclusions, and any proposed procedure changes are checked and it is determined if the modification involves a license amendment per 10 CFR 50.59. Proposed modifications which involve a
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 22 of 33 license amendment or a change to Technical Specifications are handled in the form of proposed license amendments.
- 5. Surveillance Testing: Surveillance testing at Shearon Harris is administratively controlled in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications.
- 6. Procedures for Log Book Usage and Control: Administrative procedures provide guidance and direction in the control and usage of log books.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 31 of 33 e) Annunciator Procedures - Annunciator procedures specify operator actions necessary to respond to an abnormal condition as indicated by an alarm. The Annunciator Procedures are organized according to their respective annunciator panel numbers and the annunciator's location in that panel.
f) Temporary Operating Procedures - Temporary operating procedures provide instructions for plant operations which are of a nonrecurring nature such as: The direction of activities during special testing or maintenance; guidance in unusual situations not within the scope of normal procedures; assuring orderly and uniform operations for short periods of time when the Unit, a system, or component is performing in a manner not covered by existing procedures; or when modifications are made such that portions of the existing procedures do not apply.
13.5.2.2 Other Procedures Maintenance and other activities which may affect the proper functioning of the station's safety-related structures, systems, or components are performed in accordance with approved written procedures. These procedures provide a preplanned method of conducting activities in order to eliminate errors. They are sufficiently detailed so that qualified individuals can perform the required function without direct supervision. However, written procedures cannot cover all contingencies and therefore must contain a certain degree of flexibility. The general character and objectives of these procedures are described below. Responsibility for each type of procedure is determined by programmatic procedures.
a) Plant Radiation Protection Procedures - Information concerning these procedures is presented in Section 12.5.
b) Emergency Preparedness Procedures - Information concerning these procedures is presented in Section 13.3.
c) Instrument Calibration Procedures - Instrument calibration procedures provide detailed instructions for the proper maintenance, testing, and adjustment of safety-related instrumentation and control system, and the calibration of measuring and test equipment used in activities affecting the quality of these safety-related systems. They ensure measurement accuracies adequate to maintain plant safety-related parameters within operational and safety limits.
d) Chemistry Procedures - Chemistry procedures provide instructions for monitoring plant systems for proper chemical and radio-chemical characteristics.
Included in these procedures are such instructions as: the systems, methods and frequency of sampling and analysis to be performed; treatment and control of system chemistry within required limits, and laboratory analytical procedures.
e) Radioactive Waste Management Procedures - Procedures for the operation of the radwaste processing systems provide for the control, treatment, and management of on-site radioactive wastes.
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant UFSAR Chapter: 13 Amendment 62 Page 32 of 33 f) Maintenance Procedures - Maintenance procedures provide instructions which ensure that electrical and mechanical maintenance work is performed safely and correctly.*
g) Material Control Procedures - Information concerning these procedures is presented in Section 17.3.
h) Plant Security Procedures - Information concerning these procedures is presented in Section 13.6.
