1.0 INTRODUCTION

h This writer's Guide for Emergency and Abnormal Procedures was prepared for use at Catawba Nuclear Station, Duke Power Company. Much of the information in the guide is applicable to procedures in general.

However, the guide is intended specifically for use in preparing emergency procedures (EPs) and abnormal procedures ( APs). Whenever the word "procedure" is used alone, it should be assumed to refer to both EPs and APs.

1.1 REFERENCES

o Current Duke Power Company APM 4.2, Administrative Instructions for Permanent Station Procedures o Duke Power Company review input o Duke Power Companys "Nuclear Production Department Procedure Development Guide," April 1,1986 o NUREG-0899 and other NRC guidelines c Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, "Emergency Operating Procedures Writing Guideline," INPO 82-017, July 1982 o General Physics Corporation Review, October 1987.

1.2 PURPOSE This writer's guide provides specific guidance in the preparation of emergency and abnormal procedures. Readability and accessibility of information are of major concern. The purpose of the guide is to ensure that writers produce procedures that are readable, complete, ccavenient, accurate, consistent, and acceptable to control room personnel.

1.3 GUIDE INFORMATION Before attempting to develop or review procedures, the writer should become thoroughly familiar with the information in this guide. This section introduces some ideas for the use of the guide and its different sections.

1.3.1 GUIDE STRUCTURE General principles such as formatting and guidance on procedure style and content are in the main body of the document. Examples of procedures are located in appendices, as are several other aids, including:

o Dictionary of Acronyms and Abbreviations o Constrained Language List o Punctuation Handbook o Guidelines for Word Proc- ssing.

Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

1.3.2 GUIDE USAGE n

b The best way to use the guide is to start by becoming familiar with its structure. The Table of Contents is a detailed outline of how the guide is structured.

The writer's guide is intended as a reference for the writer whcn writing emergency or abnormal procedures, it has tabs to aid in quickly accessing required information. The Table of Contents may also aid in identifying the section containing information being sought.

The information in the guide is structured so that pertinent information needed to develop a procedure is covered first and that used to enhance the procedure is covered later in the guide.

While collecting information and organizing the procedure, the stction on the procedure development process, Section 1.4, will be the most helpful. For procedure format ,

information, the format principles section, Section 2.0, is the appropriate reference. For constructing sentences and developing notes and cautions, the style and content section, Section 3.0, will provide the appropriate guidance.

For an example of both an EP and an AP, refer to Appendices 1 and 2. For acceptable abbreviations, refer to the Dictionary of Acronyms and Abbreviations in Appendix 3. Refer to the Constrained Language List in Appendix 4 when selecting appropriate terms. Appendix 5.

Punctuation Handbook can be referenced for guidance on correct punctuation. Guidelines for Word Processing in Appendix 6 provides proper layout and spacing information for those typing and proofreading the procedures.

EPs will be verified and validated in accordance with the E procedures contained in Operations Management Procedures i

4-9 (Verification Process For Emergency Procedures) and t

4-10 (Validation of Emergency Procedures). Verification is a two phase process in which both written correctness and technical accuracy are verified. Validation ensures l the procedure ccn be used by a trained operating crew to manage an emergency and that the procedure is operationally correct.

1.3.3 GUIDE CHANGES The writer's guide will be maintained by the Operations Document Development Section at Catawba Nuclear Station Recommended changes should be addressed to the Operatmg Engineer, Document Development.

Revisions to the Writer's guide will be approved and

! ) 1: sued in the same manner as Management Procedures as V explained in Section 9.0 of OMP 1-1, Administration of Operations Management Procedures.

1.4 PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT PROCT!58 i This section is intended to help the writer prepare to writs.  !

It is important that the appropriate references and information, including the writer's guide, be readily available.

1.4.1 PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES There are certain requirements of procedures to be used by control room operators during emergency and abnormal operating conditions. Operators must first of all trust that the information within their procedures is technically accurate and complete. Operators must also find that the information presented is easily accessed, read, and understood.

o Technical Accuracy: Procedures must be technically complete and accurate. Emergency procedure content is to be based on plant-specific Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs),

h d o information Presentation: The writer's guide provides information for translating the technical information into procedures. The procedure writer must present technically accurate information so that the user can understand it, in addition, the guide ensures that procedures will be consistent ,

in organization, format, style, and nontechnical content.

1.4.2 COLLECTING INFORMATION The pr ocedure writer must collect information in two i categories: technical information and user information.

Both are equally important since a technically accurate

~

procedure may not be user friendly if the user was not considered during the development process.

1.4.2.1 TECHNICAL INFORMATION To ensure technical accuracy, the most up-to-date technical information should be collected. Sources of this information should

' include engineering drawings, system descriptions, vendor manuals, Technical Specifications and plant-specific Emergency Procedure Guidelines.

Response to Supplement 1 .

' to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 3-

, 1.4.2.2 USER INFORMATION The amount of user information collected will have an affect on a procedure's level of detail. Enough detail should be included such that the least qualified user can use the procedu re.

1.4.3 ANALYZING AND ORGANIZING INFORMATION After collecting the appropriate ti.chnical and user information, the writer must analyze, classify, and organize it into a procedure format. During analysis of the technical information, the technical message, that is, the tasks and steps needed to achieve the procedure's objective, are identified. Analyzing the user and the environment aids in deciding on the level of detail needed to communicate the technical message. As the technical information is analyzed, it is organized to develop a logical technical sequence.

1.4.4 DRAFTING THE PROCEDURE ,

The drafting stage will be a major factor affecting whether a procedure becomes a good usable document. The writing style should place minimal demands on the user and should match the user's language ability. In drafting, I the writer should strive to:

o Use the appropriate and correct format and writing style according to the requirements of Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of this guide, o Make the procedure readable.

o Make the procedure easy to use arid understand.

o Express ideas clearly and concisely, o Use consistent format, style, and technical content.

A copy of this guide should be available for referencing whenever writing or revising procedures.

When the procedure is complete, it should be reviewed to ensure accuracy, adequacy and usability. Following the review, revisions may be required. Any revision should adhere to the same requirements as the original draft, i

i 1.4.5 REVIEWING THE PROCEDURE The procedure writer should perform a self review of the procedure prior to the formal review process. The Verification Checklists from OMP 4-9, "Verification Process for Emergency Procedures," should be used to analyze the specific technical content, human factors, and communication features of the procedure. A technique called structured reading can also be used to objectively analyze and review a procedure. Section 4.2 of the NPD Procedure Development Guide describes this technique.

Refer to APM 4.2, Administrative Instructions for Permanee,t Station Procedures for administrative requ, rements . By following APM 4.2, it is ensured that the appopriate personnel' formally review and approve the procedure throughout the development process, 1.4.6 PROCEDURE VERIFICATION The EP/AP verification process has two objectives:

o Written Correctness To ensure that procedures conform to the format and other principles specified in this writer's guide.

O o Technical Accuracy - To ensure that the procedures are technically accurate, consistent with plant-specific EPGs, and include all appropriate licensing commitments.

Procedure verification shall be performed in accordance with OMP 4-9, "Verification Process For Emergency P roced u res . "

1.4.7 PROCEDURE VALIDATION The EP/AP validation process will be used to ensure that procedures are:

o Structured lugically to provide sufficient information for qualified operators to perform their duties in an emergency.

o Compatible with plant responses, plant hardware and available staffing.

The validation process will be performed in accordance with OMP 4-10, "Validation of Emergency Procedures."

O Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 5-

1.5 PROCEDURE CHANGE PROCESS When changes occur in the plant design, Technical Specifications, writer's guide, plant specific EPGs, or other plant procedures that affect the EPs or APs, the procedures shall be revised promptly to reflect these changes. The Operations Document Development section will handle EP/AP changes and is responsible for reviewing the changes to ensure that the appropriate consistency is maintained with the plant-specific EPGs, and with the writer's guide.

Procedure changes shall be made in accordance with OMP 1-4, "Use of P rocedu res . "

1.6 PROCEDURE AVAIL ABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY The EPs will be located in the Control Room and in the Technical Support Center (TSC). The EPs will be separately bound and uniquely identified by procedure number and title. Unit 1 EPs will be printed on white paper; Unit 2 EPs will be printed on yellow paper.

The APs will also be located in tne Control Room and in the Technical Support Center (TSC). The APs will be separately boun.d and identified by procedure number and title. Unit 1 procedures will be print 6d on white paper, Unit 2 procedures will be printed on yellow paper.

2.0 FORMAT PRINCIPLES In this section, procedure format refers to the procedure's rhysical layout on the page, and to certain format elements common to all procedures, such as the cover page and Table of Contents. The format used for EPs shall be procedure text, divided into sections; followed by enclosures. Subprocedures having separate text and enclosures are used to describe additional, subsequent actions necessary to regain normal plant conditions or to accomplish shutdown. The AP format shall be the same as that of the EP, except that AP subprocedures are designated as "cases" and include immediate action sections as well as subsequent action sections.

2.1 ORGANIZATION OF PROCEDURES Organize EPs and APs into the following elements:

EPs APs o Cover Page o Cover Page o Table of Contents o Table of Contents Purpose

! o A. o A. Purpose o B. Symptoms o B. Symptoms

, o C. Immediate Actions o Case I, 11, Ill o D. Subsequent Actions o C. Immediate Actions o Enclosures o D. Subsequent Actions o Cover Page o Enclosures o Subprocedure A o Enclosures o Cover Page l o Subprocedure A.1, A2 ll o Enclosures o Cover Page o Subprocedure B l o Enclosures i,

f o Cover Page o Subprocedure B1, B2 l

o Enclosures
O l' Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 i i i

2.1.1 COVER PAGE O

b Use the Procedure Process Record (Form 34731) as a cover page and include the following information (see Appendix 1 for an example of a cover page):

o Procedure number (ID No.)

o Changes incorporated into present revision o Procedure retype number (type in below procedure number and changes incorporated) o Station name o Procedure title o Procedure preparer and the date of preparation o Signature and date of a qualified reviewer o Appropriate approval signatures and approval dates o Other review / approval signatures and dates as necessary.

NOTE: A cross-disciplinary review is required for procedures that affect or require involvement of another group. .

2.1.2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Prepare a Table of Contents that identifies the title and'page number of all major sections within the O p roced u re. These sections include purpose, symptoms, immediate actions, subsequent actions and enclosures (see Appendices 1 and 2).

2.1.3 PURPOSE A procedure is developed to achieve a specific purpose.

The procedure writer, as well as the user, needs to have a clear understanding of the objective to be achieved by the p roced u re.

The purpose statement should briefly state the objective (s) to be achieved through use of the procedure.

Because the purpose statement is a training aid, and not expected to be read during performance of the procedure, there are no stringent format requirements (see Appendices 1 and 2).

O Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 8-

, 2.1.4 SYMPTOMS U List the plant conditions, alarms, and other pertinent entry conditions that would cause the procedure to be used. Symptoms should be listed in order of importance, with the most important one mentioned first. The importance of a symptom is especially related to its ability to identify a particular condition. Symptoms found in several abnormal conditions should be listed last. If such a list can be established, use numbers (the standard numbering system) to indicate the sequence. If a sequence cannot be established, use bullets (o) to list the symptoms (see Appendix 1, page 1).

2.1.5 IMMEDI ATE ACTIONS Specify the immediate operator actions to be taken for the procedure in the two-column, dual-level format described in Sections 2.2.2.and 2.3.1. Limit immediate actions to those positive steps that must be performed before there is an opportunity to refer to the  ;

appropriate procedure. These actions are those which .

operators shall have committed to memory per OMP 1-4, "Use of Procedures".

2.1.6 SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS Specify the operator actions necessary to return the plant to a normal, stable, or safe, steady-state condition. Use the two-column, dual-level format described in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.3.1.

2.1.7 ENCLOSURES Append any materials (e.g., graphics or operator aids) that are neither included in the body of the procedure nor immediately available in the control room, but which are essential to carrying out the procedure. Appended materials are to be called "enclosures" and are to be located at the end of the procedure. Foldout pages shoule be used for enclosures when the operator is required to refer to an enclosure f requently.

2.1.8 SUBPROCEDURES (EPs ONLY)

Per unit, there are approximately 42 separately bound and numbered EPs. Although called EPs by the operators, all but two of these EPs are actually "subprocedures." This distinction is only important with regard to format of the document.

As indicated in Section 2.1, the two "main" procedures

[. shall contain all of the procedure format elements:

o Cover Page o Table of Contents o A. Purpose o B. Symptoms o C. Immediate Actions o D. Subsequent Actions o Enclosures The subprocedures are additional steps which would be included under "D. Subsequent Actions", but lend themselves to being separately bound. Subprocedures contain a cover page, procedure text, and enclosures. The subprocedure text is not further divided into sections.

EP subprocedures are identified by a letter or t lctter-number designator in the procedure number:

Examples: ,

A. EP/1/A/5000/01 "Main"  !

EP/1/A/5000/03 Procedures B. EP/1/A/5000/1 E2 Subprocedures l

~ E P/1/ A/5000/3 B 2.1.9 CASES ( APs ONLY)

Abnormal procedures ( APs) may be divided into cases to address r6!ated transients or conditions. The following formatting requirements apply to APs containing cases (see example in Appendix 2):

o Cases shall be designated with Roman numerals (e.g.

Case I, Case 11, etc. ) .

o The AP pu~rpose and the symptoms for all case; shall appear on page one of the procedure.

o Each case shall contain an immediate Actions and a Subsequent Actions section, if there are no immediate Actions, write "NONE" under the -

section heading.

o Af ter the last step in each case, write the word "END" centered on the page in capital letters, underlined, and in bold type.

o include enclosures for all cases at the end of

, the procedure. Arrange the enclosures in

numerical order as mentioned in the procedure.

O Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

l o The heading for pages containing immediate and O subsequent action steps shall have the case l i

V designation and title where the procedure title normally goes (e.g., CASE I. SOURCE RANGE MALFUNCTION),

2.2 PAGE FORMAT l All pages of the EPs and APs, with the exception of the cover page,  ;

shall use the same page structure. This page structure uses a

, pre-printed border with page heading boxes. The pages containing operator action steps shall be written in a two-column format within the printed border.

2.2.1 PAGE HEADINGS The page heading consists of three blocks of information that may include:

o Station abbreviation o Document code (procedure number) o Document title ,

o Case designation and title (APs only) o Enclosure number o Page number '

o Procedure retype number 4

Examples:

A. CASEI. SOURCE RANGE MALFUNCTION B. CASE ll. AUDIO COUNT RATE MALFUNCTION 2.2,1.4 ENCLOSURE NUMBER Procedure, subprocedure, and case enclosures shall have the enclosure number provided directly below the document title. Capitalize all letters and numbers.

Examples:

A. LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT l DURING PLANT SHUTDOWN ENCLOSURE 2 B. REACTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION l ENCLOSURE 1 2.2.1.5 PAGE NUMBERS The cover page of all procedures and subprocedures is not numbered.

I For procedures with a Table of Contents, i identify the page with an "i" in the upper l right heading block and the bottom center of f

, each Table of Contents page. If necessary, use "li", etc., to identify any succeeding pages of the Table of Contents. -

l The remaining pages of the procedure or subprocedure are numbered in consecutive orce'

! Enclosures are included in the totsl page count. Place the page number in the upper right heading block.

I Page numbers shall also be placed at the bottom '

center of each page in the "Page _ of _"

format. The first number is the sequential page  !

and the second number is the total pages.

2.2.1.6 RETYPE NUMBERS Each procedure retype will be assigned the next sequential "retype number". Placa the retype number in the upper right headir g block of each e ,

page below the page number.

Example:

A. PAGE NO. I 8

Retype e5 2.2.2 TWO-COLUMN STRUCTURE The pages for presentation of operator action steps shall use a two-column format within the printed border. The left column is designated for expected operator action and response, and the right column is designated for contingency actions when the expected response in the left column is not obtained. These columns shall be titled "ACTION / EXPECTED RESPONSE" and "RESPONSE NOT OBTAINED".

2.2.2.1 ACTION / EXPECTED RESPONSE COLUMN O The left column contains a high-level step that describes the task to be performed.

the high level task requires multiple actions, if I

then subtasks are specified. Following each  ;

task or subtask, the expected response or result  ;

i is given. Expected responses are not supplied i i

for simple control manipulations or actions, i In the two-column format, the left action steps I are written so that the operators can proceed  !

directly down the "Action / Expected Response"

( A/ER) column as long as expected conditions,

! actions, and checks are accomplished.

l 2.2.2.2 RESPONSE NOT OBTAINED COLUMN If the expected result or response in the left column is not obtained or the action cannot be performed, the operator moves to the right, "Response Not Obtained" (RNO) columt

~; for contingency instructions. If one contingency action is appropriate for any of a '

series of left subtasks, it is stated once as a high level contingency. If a contingency is not provided, then the operator proceeds to the next step or substep in the left column.

Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8  ;

- - _ -_, __ - . J _ - _. . _ _ _ _ _ - - . - _ . _ . . _ - . __. - ,

After taking the contingency action in the O right column, the operator proceeds to V the next steo or substep in the left column.

If the contingency action cannot be performed or is not successful, and further contingency instructions are not provided, the operator returns to the next step or substep in the left column.

2.2.3 PAGE BREAKS Start separate pages for the following; o Cover page o Table of Contents o Each EP subprocedure o Each case ( APs only) o A. Purpose o C. Immediate Actions o Each enclosure When possible, avoid splitting steps or substeps between.

pages. If a step must be split between pages, repeat the high-level step numbe on the following page in the

" Action / Expected Response" column with the word .

"Continued" in parenthesis. See examples in Appendix 1.

Cautions and Notes should not be carried f rom one page to another. Additionally, the caution or note statement should appear on the same page as the step /substep to which it applies.

l 2.3 STEP FORMAT 1

Step numbering and indentation contribute to a procedure's readability. Numbered steps help users keep their place in a sequence of tasks. Indentation creates "white space" on the page.

which is a "space clue" to users as to what level they are working on (step, substep, etc. )

2'. 3 .1 DUAL-LEVEL STRUCTURE i

For both the "Action / Expected Response" and "Response '.

Obtained" columns, use a dual-level format with high les e.

action steps and lower level substeps.

sequential digits (1, 2, 3, etc. ) . Designate detailed substeps in one of the following ways:

o When the sequence of su,bstep performance is '

important, use lower cass letters /nu 'bers.

Example:

A. Check S/G levels:

2.3.1.2 LABELLING THE RNO COLUMN Do not number high level RNO steps. They will appear directly across from their high level step in the A/ER column and will appear in bold type. Designate RNO substeps as follows: F o If the A/ER substep has a specific RNO substep, then place the RNO substep  ;

directly across the page from the A/ER ,

substep and label it the same as the A/ER  :

substep.

Example:

A/ER RNO A. a. "NV S/l - a. Ensare correct  !

FLOW" valve alignment INDICATING and NV pump FLOW. operation. l ,

o if the A/ER substep is designated by a '

letter or number and no RNO exists for the  !

substep, then the corresponding space in the RNO column will be blank.

o if a RNO applies to the high level step, I then the RNO substeps are labelled based on sequential performance (number / letter) or nonsequential/ list (bullets). In these ,

cases the substeps in the RNO column will not match the substeps in the A/ER column l

2.3.3 IN TF.XT GRAPHICS Procedure graphics are nontext materials that support 4 ,

procedure, such as graphs and tables. Usually graphics are included in a procedure as enclosures. Small tables (less than a full page) may be integrated into the body of a procedure for the convenience of the user.

When a table is integrated into the body of a j procedure /subprocedure, it should be placed i

irrimediately following the step where it is first mentioned.

Tables may extend across the width of the page and are not limited by the two column ( A/ER, RNO) format.

, Refer to the table in a procedure step with instructions

! on its use or an explanation of its purpose. Do not place the table in the procedure without an explanation.

Give each column in the table a heading, include the units for tha data in parenthesis in the heading; do ,

not repeat the units in the column.

Use the same type style and size as the procedure text.

O Always place horizontal lines above and below the column headings .rnd at the bottom of the table. Place horizontal lines between each entry when needed for clarity.

Place vertical lines between columns unless there is sufficient white space for clarity.

i 3.1 STEP STRUCTURE 3

The structure of a step affects the rate at which it is read and  ;

u nderstood. The following guidelines will aid in developing steps that are read quickly and are easily understood. The guidelines apply to both the "Action / Expected Response" ( AER) and "Response Not Obtained" (RNO) columns.

3.1.1 COMMAND STATEMENTS Write action steps as simple command statements. ,

Begin the sentence with an action verb (e.g. open, close, verify, etc.) followed by the object of the action (usually the equipment name).

Examples:

Action verb Object A. Check NC pressure,  !

B. Close INV-849 (Letdn Flow Var '

Orif Ctrl).

Add other grammatical elements auch as adverbs (action verb modifiers) or object modifiers as necessary to convey the appropriate instructions.

Examples:

, A, Adverb Action verb Object ,

) o Manually operate equipment.

l B. Action ved Object Object modifier i

o T h rottle CA flow to maintain N/R 1 level 38.. t Use short sentences and conditional statement clauses (condition &l statements are discussed '

in Section 3.2. ) Minimize the use of articles

) (the, a, an) unless they are needed for clarity.

Use the same sentence / clause style for main steps as

well as substeps.

Show expected responses or indications to operator actions  ;

following a command statement in all capital letters.

Separate the expected response from the action step with a hyphen. Omit the hyphen when the expected response o preceded by a symbol (e.g. , <, ), etc.). If a high-level task requires multiple actions, then specify subtasks.

. Following each subtask, show the expecteo response.

le ont rol I

Do not show expected responses manipulations or actions.

< 3 R/HR o Containment Sump level - 0 FT.

3.1.2 POSITIVE STATEMENTS Write instructional or procedural steps as positive '

statements. Generally, positively stated sentences / clauses are more readily comprehended.

Examples: -

A. THIS - Maintain cooldown rate < 100*F/hr. I!

\ B. NOT THIS -- Do not cool down > 100'F/hr. lj 3.1.3 ONE THOUGHT PER STEP  ;

Use only one Main action per procedure step. Do not  ;

combine unrelated actions into a compound sentence  ;

or clause. A compound sentence or clause that combines related actions is acceptable, however, the ,

inclusion of more than one action in a procedure step should be avoided. See Section 3.2.2 for guidance on  !

the use of "and." I Examples:

A. Verify ECCS operation and flow. lI B. IF NC pressure < 1520 PSIG, I' THEN ensure correct valve alignment and NI pump operation. ,

t 3.1.4 PERFORMER IDENTIFICATION l For instructional or procedural steps, use the understood "you" as the subject of each sentence.

When a step is writton, such as "Check S/G levels," .

the understood subject is the Control Room Operator.

1 Where actions stated in the procedure are to be ,

O performed by someone other than the Control Room Operator, identify the performer of the action.

Examples:

A. Notify Primary Chemist to obtain NC boron sample. l B. Dispatch operator (s) te start Auxilary Electric j Boiler per OP/1/B/6250/07B, AUXILI ARY ELECTRIC BOILERS.

i The word "locally" should not be used as a "performer identification" word. Although to "locally" open an ,

MOV implies that an operator must be dispatched, this is not the intended function of the word. "Locally" only specifies that on action to be performed outside of the Control Room is to be done at the specified component or device when other alternatives exist (e.g. , local control panel, ASP, etc. ) . When "locally" is used in an action step, "dispatch -

operator" sbuid also es used. ,

t Example; q A. THIS -- Dispatch operator (s) to locally operate { i S/G PORVs per Enclosure 2.

g "Locally" dess not have to be used if the location of the component or device is included as a substep.

i o 1LXC 5B,1 A (TB 594,1M-27) o 1LXD-58,1B (TB-594,1M-30) .

3.1.5 MULTIPLE OBJECTS When a sentance has two objects write them joined with a -

conjunction or listed separately.

When the sentance has three or more objects, list them.

Examples:

A. Ensure the following valves - OPEN { ,

3.2 CONDITIONAL STATEMENT STRUCTURE The logic terms AND, OR, IF, IF NOT, THEN, and WHEN are used in procedures to describe a set of conditions, to sequence action steps contingent upon conditions, or to express complex 1 combinations of conditions and actions. Each of tliese logic >

terms has a specific function and should be used consistently throughout the procedures and in accordance with an accepted convention. When used in combination, care must be taken to avoid vague and difficult to understand instructions.

3.2.1 USE OF E, IF NOT, WHEN_, AND THEN When action steps are dependent upon certain .

conditions or cc,mbinations of conditions, begin the i step with the words E or WHEN followed by a description of the condition or conditions, and the word THEN, followed by the action to be taken.

Use WHEN to indicate actions that should be taken upon the occurrence of an expected condition.

Generally, the operator should proceed with the next steps in the procedure and complete the action for the WHEN statement upon meeting the stated conditions.

If the operator must remain in the step containing the WHEN statement until it can be completed, clearly j indicate this requirement in the step.

! Examples:

A. E, THEN, and WHEN used correctly. l o E Condenser not available, THEN use S/G PORVs to dump steam.

o WHEN at least one S/G N/R level increasing, '

THEN throttle CA to maintain N/R level 38%.

o WHEN NC System subcooling > 75'F AND PZR les '

> 5% (> 32% ACC), THEN GO TO step 2':.  ;

B. E, used incorrectly,  ! j 1

o Check g NC pumps can be started. I j This statement should be written:

p ement 1 o Check if NC pump c'hh .

L r

i The word THEN should not be used at the end of an action

~

to provide instructions for additional action within the  !

[v-) same step, because it runs actions together. l Example:  !

A. THEN used incorrectly - Notify Primary Chemist to l obtain NC bcron sample, THEN perform shutdown margin calculation per OP/0/A/6100/06, REACTIVITY BALANCE CALCULATION, ,

Actions concealed in this way:

o May be overlooked and not performed o Make it difficult to verify the performance of each action step when a check or signoff is used .

o Can be confused with a logic statement.

t IF NOT logic statements can be confusing, so don't use the i logic term IF NOT, Where different actions are required [

for two possible conditions, state each condition with its  :

required actions.

Examples:

A. THIS l [

Check NC pressure: I

3.2.2 USE OF AND Action steps will normally be performed in sequence so that a conjunction such as "and" is not required between steps. However, in the case of combinations of

! conditions, the word AND should be placed between the l descriptions of conditions, but only when used as a l logic term to indicate a decision point.

3.2.2.3 LONG SEQUENCES O

Q To simplify a long sequence of conditions, do not use the word AND to join more than two conditions. When joining more than i two conditions, use a list with "bullets".

Example:

A. IF all of the following: l i

o Condition 1 o Condition 2 ,

4 o Condition 3 o Condition 4.

t THEN....

3.2.2.4 CONJUNCTION

When used as a simple or compound conjunction, combining related actions, do not emphasize (capitalize, bold or underline) '

the word "and" in tho same manner as when it is used as a logic term. '

,.s 3.2.3 USE OF OR

\

(d Use the word O_R in logic statements to call attention to alternative combinations of conditions. Use the logic word OR in the "inclusive sense" (any one or all conditions may be present).

Example:

A. OR used correctly as a logic term (inclusive j sense).

IF total feedwater flow < 450 GPM OR S/G N/R level -

T%,5 THEN:

1) Do not terminate S/l.
2) GO TO step 10.

o The word "OR" is also used to call attention to alternative combinations of conditions which are not in logic statements, and to list alternative actions.

o When "OR" is used to call attention to alternative conditions that are not incorporated into a logic statement format, *

' d the "OR" should be capitalized and centered between the two conditions. OR" used in i

this manner should not be underlined and bolded to ensure it is not mistaken for a logic term. When used to give alternative cc. ditions, "OR" should be used in the inclusive sense (any one or all conditions may be present).

i Example:

A. Secondary heat sink available: 1 o Total feedwater flow to intact S/Gs > 450 GPM l

i OR o N/R level in at least one intact S/G > 5%.

~ o "OR" is also used to list alternative operator actions. The use of alternative (N actions should be minimized and priorities established where possible, if priorities cannot be established, and alternative actions are equally acceptable, then it is necessary to use "OR" in the "exclusive sense" (one and only one of the alternative actions is to be performed). When "OR" is used in the exclusive sense, the step should clearly indicate only one of the actions is to be performed.

Example:

A. IF NC pressure > 195 PSIG, l THEN: perform one of the following:

o Start additional NV pump. l OR o Align NI System for Cold Leg l Injection and start one NI pump.

o when "or" is used in the exclusive sense to O list alternative components related to only one action, "or" should not be emphasized by capitalization.

Example:

A. Stop NV Pump 1 A or 18.

O Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

\

s 3.2.4 COMBINATION OF LOGIC TERMS The use of AND and OR along with LF and THEN within the same step should be avoided. When AND and OR are -

used together, the logic statement is confusing and ambiguous.

Example:

A. AND and OR used incorrectly -IF condition A

_ l AND condition B Ccondition C occurs TREN GO TO step 5.

This statement has two possible meanings that make it ambiguous.

o If the use of AND and OR within the same step cannot be avoided, then use the more explicit form (as illustrated below) to eliminate confusion.

Example:

A. AND and OR used correctly - IF both condition A {

AND condition B occur, l THEN GO TO step 5.

OR IF both condition A AND condition C occur, THEN GO TO step S.

o Do not use AND/OR in logic sequences to avoid l

l ambiguity.

3.3 INDIVIDUAL STEPS O

V The procedure user is trained to perform every action step and to perform it in the sequence given unlest the procedure specifically states otherwise or unless bullets indicate sequence is not important. Action steps and conditional statement structures are discussed in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Use the following guidelines when developing procedure steps.

3.3.1 STEP SEQUENCING Technical necessity shall be the overriding consideration for sequencing tasks and action steps.

However, control room instrument arrangements should also be considered. In general, use the following guidelines:

o Write action steps in the order in which they are to be performed or verified to have occurred.

o Some series of steps must be performed in an ,

exact sequence. Indicate these steps by using the previously designated alphanumeric system.

o Indicate nonsequential steps and substeps by placing a bullet (o) prior to each step, b

o Consider control room layout when sequencing j steps. If technical sequence is not important, order steps so that the operator moves left-to-right or right-to-left along the control board.

3.3.2 VERIFICATION STEPS Verification steps should be used to determine whether l

the objective of a task or a sequence of actions has j been achieved.

Separate verification steps /substeps should be used following a sequence of automatic or manual actions, or to ensure prerequisite conditions before initiating an action.

3.3.3 DIAGNOSTIC STEPS To aid operators in verifying that they are in the correct procedure or section, and to direct them to the i

n correct procedure or section when necessary, diagnostic steps should be included in EP(s). These steps should assist the operator in determining the cause of alarms automatic protective systems actuation and direct him to the appropriate procedure or section.

For diagnostic steps, first instruct the operator to verify or check for a condition. Criteria that the operator will use to evaluate a condition, including expected values, should be shown as substeps or listed with bullets (o) in the left column.

3.3.4 NONSEQUENTI AL STEPS Some operator actions may be required during performance of a task, but not at a specific point in the sequence of steps. For example, some steps may be performed when a certain parameter such as temperature or level is reached, but not before.

Locate nonsequential steps at the first possible point at which they may be required.

Write nonsequential steps so that the operator clearly "

Example:

A. Start one of the following NC pumps: l o NC Pump 1 A o NC Pump 18 o NC Pump 1C o NC Pump 1D.

l 3.3.6 RECURRENT STEPS Recurrent steps are actions that may need to be repeated at various intervals. These steps will usually require the operator to monitor or control some plant parameter.

If the intervels are easily defined (for example, following specific plant responses), repeat the step at each point at which it is to be performed.

If the intervals are not specific, describe conditions that require repeating the steps, and those for which the step is no longer required.

Recurrent procedure steps do not require placekeeping aids Noter should be used to remind the operator of the repetitive monitoring or controlling actions required by recurrent steps.

Recurrent steps may also be incorporated into an enclosure and used as a foldout page to remind the operator to continuously monitor or perform specific tasks.

3.3.7 TIME DEPENDENT STEPS Some operator actions are required at specified time intervals or some time after an action has taken

, place. in writing time-dependent steps, specify the l time intervals as precisely as possible. Give the operator information about the time interval involved followed by the action to be taken.

a. Open 1NV-13A (Letdn Orif 1 A Ottt Cont isol)
b. Close 1NV-10A (Letdn Orif 18 Otit Cont isol).

3.3.8 CONCURRENT STEPS Concurrent steps have to be performed at the same time.

Some procedures must be performed by the control room staff at the same time as the EPs. Implementing these "concurrent procedures" should be specified as in the example below:

Example:

A. IF PZR PORV block valve cannot be closed, THEN l concu rrently: ,

o implement EP/1/A/5000/02, CRITICAL SAFETY FUNCTION STATUS TREES. l o GO TO EP/1/A/5000/1C, HIGH ENERGY LINE BREAK INSIDE CONTAINMENT.

3.4 CAUTIONS Cautions are informational statements used in the procedure along with the steps. Cautions never contain required action steps.

3.4.1 PURPOSE Caution statements shall be used to attract the operator's attention to essential or critical information which must be observed to prevent actions

~

which could result in damage to equipment, loss of plant stability, injury to plant personnel, or endanger public health and safety.

3.4.2 FORMAT Designate cautions as follows:

Capitalize, underline, and use bold type for all letters l in the word CAUTION. Add additional emphasis to the word caution by placing a row of asterisks above and j below it. (See example in Section 3.4.3.)

Write cautions across the page from margin to margin.

For exact margin settings, see Appendix 6.

I Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 l 34-i

,3 3.4.3 CONTENT t]

Make caution statements brief. Only include essential information. The following information, where applicable, should be contained in caution statements, ordinarily in the order indicated:

o Precautions necessary to avoid or minimize the hazard o Specific nature of the hazard o Location of the source of the hazard o Consequences of failing to heed the caution o Time consideration when critical.

Example:

CAUTION Do not exceed 5750KW load on a 4160V bus when it is being

                  • supplied by a D/G. (precaution) Overloading the D/Gs will result in potential engine failure due to excessive crankshaft and piston stresses. (hazard)

Caution statements shall not contain action steps. If an action is required, write a step, not a caution.

Passive sentences (usually using "shall," "should," or l

h V

"may") may be used to provide emphasis to caution statements, and to clearly separate them from steps.

Refer to Appendix 4 for meanings for "shall," "should,"

l and "may".

Do not use the methods described in Section 3.9.4 for emphasis within cautions as a general rule. For example, do not capitalize and underline logic words such as "if",

"then" and "not" . However, fully capitalize procedure titles and capitalize the first letter of each word in specific nomenclature and system names. Underlining may be used for emphasis of key words.

3.4.4 PLACEMENT l

i Place cautions immediately before the steps or substeps to which they apply. If a caution is general enough to l apply to an entire procedure, subprocedure, or section, place the caution before the first applicable action step.

Cautions shall precede notes when they occur together.

All the lines of text for caution statements shall appear on one page. Caution statements shall be placed on the same page as the action steps to which they apply.

3.5 NOTES

' Notes are informational statements used in the procedure along with the steps. Notes never contain required action steps.

3.5.1 PURPOSE Note statements are included to provide advisory or administrative information to the operator concerning specific steps or specific sequences of steps. This information should enhance the understanding of the procedure and would otherwise be difficult to find and incorporate into the procedure. Notes generally should contain information that is of most use to the inexperienced operator to aid in interpreting steps.

Notes must be L rief and easily understood.

3.5.2 FORMAT Designate notes as follows:

o Capitalize, underline, and use bold type for all letters in the word NOTE. (See example in Section 3.5.3.)

o ' Write notes across the page f rom margin to margin.

For exact margin settings, see Appendix 6.

o Multiple notes included under a single heading shall be separately identified by using bullets (o).

3.5.3 CONTENT Make notes as brief as possible, still including essential information.

Do not write action steps in notes. If an action is required, write .a step, not a note.

Passive sentences (usually using "shall," "should," or "may") may be used to provide emphasis to notes and to clearly separate them from steps. Refer to Appendix 4 for meanings of "shall," "should," and "may" Example:

NOTE Enclosure 1 of this procedure should be open.

"then", "not. " However, fully capitalize procedure titles and capitalize :he first letter of each word in specific nomenclature and system names. Underlining may be used for emphasis of key words when considered necessary to enhance the precedure.

3.5.3 PLACEMENT Place notes immediately before the steps or substeps to which they apply. If a note is general enough to apply to an entire procedure, subprocedure or section, place the note before the first action step.

3.6 REFERENCING AND BRANCHING Referencing within and between procedures should be kept to a minimum. It is better to reproduce small sections of a procedure than to reference the operator to another procedure or section.

3.6.1 DEFINITIONS The term "referencing" means routing the user to other steps or sections within the same procedure or to another l p roced u re. After performing the referenced instructions, f the user returns to the point from which he/she was l referenced.

The term "branching" means routing the user to another l procedure or series of steps in the same procedure. The

! user does not return to the initial procedure or step.

3.6.2 REFERENCING Use REFER TO when the procedure user is directed to another procedure, section, or enclosure, but will be l

returning to, or remaining within, the controlling p rocedu re/section/enclos u re.

Example:

A. IF Turbine not tripped, THEN: l

A. THIS -- Dispatch operator (s) to start l Auxiliary Electric Boiler per OP/1/ B/6250/078, AUXILI ARY ELECTRIC BO!LERS.

B. THIS -- Dispatch operator to verify P-4 and i VE operation per Enclosure 2.

C. NOT THIS -- Establish excess letdown per l OP/1/ A/6200/01, CHEMICAL AND VOLUME CONTROL SYSTEM.

3.6.3 BRANCHING o Use GO TO when the operator will discontinue use of the current procedure or section and stay in the branched procedure or section. GO TO is also used to send the operator to another series of steps in the same section when he/she does not return to the current step.

Examples:

A. E High Energy Line Break inside Containment indicated, THEN concurrently:

a. Implement EP/1/A/5000/02, CRITICAL S AFE '

FUNCTION STATUS TREES

6. GO TO EP/1/A/5000/1C, HIGH ENERGY LINE BREAK INSIDE CONTAINMENT.

B. 2 S/l required, THEN:

1. Manually initiate S/l.
2. GO TO step D.1.

Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

o Use RETURN TO when the operator will discontinue rN use of the current procedure or step and return kj to a procedure he/she was in initially or to a step that was previously performed / read.

Examples:

A. Evaluate and rediagnose plant conditions. l o RETURN TO ste4p 15.

B. WHEN NC boron concontration is obtained, l THEN RETURN TO steps 23b. and 23c.

3.6.4 FORMAT o When the operator is directed 19 another procedure, section, or enciosure, list the new document designator (nurnber) first, followed by its title.

Example:

A. E S/l not required, THEN GO TO l EP/1/A/5000/1 A, REACTOR TRIP RESPONSE.

(~' o When referencing AP cases, list the procedure

( number and title first, followed by the case number and case title. Do not fully capitalize the AP case number or title.

Example:

A. REFER TO AP/1/A/5500/06, LOSS OF S/G FEEDW A TERj Case ll, Loss Of Normal CA Supply, o When the operator is directed to a specific procedure, case, section, or enclosure, he/she is expected to go to the beginning of the referenced document. If it is not necessary

- for the operator to enter a referenced document at the beginning, the specific olace of entry should be specified.

Example:

A. E Turbine will not trip, THEN REFER TO l A P/1/ A/5500/02, TURBINE TRIP, step C.2.

o When directing the operator to another step in

. the same section, use only that step number.

Example:

A. Check NC pressure:

l

1. IF > 195 PSIG, THEN GO TO step 8.
2. IF < 195 PSIG, THEN ensure correct Talve alignment and ND pump operation.

3.7 WORD USAGE 3.7.1 ACTION VERBS The verb is the most important word in a sentence.

Therefore, the choice of verb to describe the desired action deserves attention. Select a verb that precisely describes the action and use it consistently in that context. Performance errors may result when verb meanings are not applied consistently. Use the list.

of recommended verbs and their definition in Appendix 4.

3.7.2 VOC.ABULARY m

(d ) The vocabulary used in procedures should be easily read and understood by Control Room Operators.

o Use specific control board nomenclature and terminology that operators and other plant personnel understand.

o Use short, commonly found words.

o Do not use contractions such as "don't" or "ca n't . " instead, use "do not" or "cannot."

o Avoid the use of synonyms. Always use the same word, term, or phrase for a given subject or action.

o Use specific words that precisely describe the task or action of the ope.rator. Avoid vague instructions such as "check frequently" or "throttle slowly."

Where possible, use specific intervals or guidelines.

Ordinarily, avoid the following words and terms in procedure steps:

Adequate if necessary Maximum Available If required Minimum As necessary Immediately Rapidly O Attempt Gradually initiate Slowly Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

These words are acceptable however, when clarification is provided either in parentheses V or substeps, or when they are used to describe symptoms for recognizing a particular condition.

Examples:

A. Secondary heat sink available: l o Total feed flow to intact S/G > 450 GPM OR l o N/R level in at least one intact S/G > 5%.

o Use the Constrained Language List in Appendix 4 for accepted terms and their meanings.

3.7.3 COMPONENT NOMENCLATURE o Refer to specific equipment nomenclature by giving component number, followed by nomenclature in parentheses. Capitalize the first letter in each word of the nomenclature.

Examples:

A. ARF-1 A (Cont Air Return Fan) l B. 1CA-4 (CA Pumps Suct From UST) l o Refer to control board switches and switch positions by giving the exact switch nomenclature in all capital letters with quotation marks.

Ex arnples :

A. Seleet "PRESS" on "STEAM DUMP SELECT" s

l B. Depress "CA SYS VLV CTRL" "RESET" pushbu -

r o TRN A

! o TRN B.  ;

i l o To signify the exact wording of an alarm or annunciator, use quotation marks and capitalize all letters of each word.

Examples:

"SAFETY INJECTION ACTUATED" status light A.

(1S1-13) - LIT -

B. "lCE COND LOWER INLET DOORS OPEN" alarm i (1 AD-13, A-7) - DARK Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 L _ _ _ _ _ , . _. _ _ _ _ . . . _ _ _ _ _ , _ . _ _ _ _ _

J r _,, -

o When two or more devices have the same nomenclature except for the train / component designators (Train A and B; Phase X, Y, 7., etc.)

the devices may be indicated by listing the nomenclature once and placing the other train / component designations as follows:

Examples:

A. "SWGR ETA UV ON PHASE X, (Y), (Z)" l B. Close 1SM-77A, -768, -75A, -74B (S/G Otit Hdr l Bidwn C/Vs).

C. Depress "SM PORV RESET" pushbuttons: l o TRN A o TRN B.

3.7.4 ABBREVI ATIONS, ACRONY'MS AND SYMBOLS Use only those abbreviations, acronyms, or symbols that.

are familiar and clearly understood by operators.

o Generally, avoid abbreviating words, phrases, or names unless the system or component is frequently and commonly referred to by an abbreviated form.

O' Use only the accepted abbreviations or acronyms found in Appendix 3.

o if a single abbreviation can represent two different words, ensure the context of the sentence clearly denotes the intended use of the abbreviation. If it is possible an operator may confuse the meaning of the abbreviation; spell the words.

o To make an abbreviation or acronym plural, add a lower case "s": e.g. CFPTs, not CFPT's. Reserve the apostrophe for indicating possessive cases.

o When referring to specific operating devices or equipment, use the precise label nomenclature, including abbreviations, acronyms, or symbols.

However, if necessary to enhance the readability of a sentence, a combination of symbols, numbers and words may be used.

3.8 MECHANICS OF STYLE .

3.8.1 SPELLING q o Spelling should be based on a current American dictionary. When a dictionary offers a choice of spellings, use the first listed.

o Be consistent in spelling throughout procedures.

Several industry terms have varying spellings, such as "startup" and "start-up" Use the spelling most commonly used at Duke Power, and use it consistently.

3.8.2 PUNCTUATION Generally, standard American English rules for grammar and punctuation should be used. Refer to Appendix 5 for guidelines on correct punctuation.

3.8.3 CAPITAllZATION Use capitalization for emphasis or attention as described below:

Examples:

A. Select "PRESS" on "STEAM DUMP SELECT" l B. S/G W/R levels - INCREASING l

C. Check any NC pump - ON l

3.8.4 EMPHASIS TECHNIQUES  :

Emphasize important aspects of the procedure in the following manner (see example in Appendix 1):

o Capitalize, under!ine, and use bold type for the following:  ;

NOTE IF

                  • _ Only when used in ,

CAUTION AND logic statements. "

GO TO OR REFER TO WHEN RETURN TO THEN END o Use bold type for high level steps in both the A/ER and RNO columns to gain operator attention.

o Use underlining to emphasize words significant  ;

in determining or classifying operator actions.

Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 45-

l

., 1 o Use quotation marks to set off annunciator or alarm O

L/

legends, switch positions and nomenclature, unique words, or words/ phrases to be spoken, such as an announcement.

Examples:

A. "E/S LOAD SEQ ACTUATED" status lights I

(IS1-14) - LIT B. Depress "MAN" pushbutton on "STEAM DUMP CTRL" l and lower controller output to 0%.

C. "N/A" i D. Announce "Unit 1, Safety injection."

l 3.8.5 UNITS AND NUMERALS o Use the units of measurement that actually appear on the instruments specified.

o Use units of measuremont familiar to the operator.

o Use Arabic numerals unless specific equipment nomenclature contains Roman numerals.

o Use Arabic whole numbers whenever possible.

o if whole numbers must be divided, use decimals.

o Limit the numbers used in the procedure for parameter indications to one-half of the smallest increment that can be read on the instrument (i.e., if an instrument meter is divided into 50 pound increments, then the procedure should not i specify actions based on readings of less than 25 pound increments).

3:8.6 TOLERANCES o Provide tolerances where appropriate. Give nominal values and ranges in immediately understood terms, avoiding the need for interpretation. If there is no specific desired value, provide the tolerance as a range.

Example:

A. Control CA flow to maintain i ,

4 ruptured S/G N/R level 1 5% 15% (18%-28% AC'. ) .

t o When minimum or maximum values exist for certain Is parameters, use the less than symbol (<) and k greater than symbol (>) should be used to specify cesired values.

Examples:

l A. _lF PZR pressure < 2315 PSIG, THEN: l

1) Ensure PZR PORV closed.
2) IF_ any PZR PORV cannot be closed, THEN close its isolation valve.

B. IF S/G N/R levels not increasing, THEN l

maintain total CA flow > 450 GPM.

o Use specific values without ranges when it is desirable to control a parameter as close to a specific value as practical. The operator is expected to use his/her best judgment based upon current plant conditions and the intent of the procedure step in determining how close to the exact value the parameter actually comes.

Examples:

A. Throttle CA flow to maintain N/R level 38%. I B. Manually dump steam to reduce "STM HDR l PRESSURE" to 1090 PSIG.

3.8.7 FORMULAS AND CALCULATIONS Avoid the use of formulas and calculations where possible. When calculations are required, they should be as simple as possible, and space should be provided for the calculations.

3.9 LOCATION INFORMATION Assume that the action occurs in the Control Room for most steps iri~ emergency procedures. Identify only the location of actions er components located outside the Control Room, unless a very infrequently used component is involved.

o identify local, in-plant activities at a specific component as follows:

Example:

A. Dispatch operator to locally trip Control Rod Drive M/G Sets:

o 1A O\ o 18. I Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8 t

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - . _ _ . _ _ J

o identify the location of infrequently used components

_T

[d by including the building and elevation where the component can be found, followed by the closest co!umn designations.

Examples:

A. Open tha Control Rod Drive M/G Set feeder breakers:

l o #LXC 5B,1 A (TB-594,1M 28) o ILXD 5B,1 B (TB-594,1M-30) .

B. Dispatei, ooerator to de-energize D/G Sequencer control power breakers: l o 1EDE-F01F, D/G 1 A ( AB-577, BB-46) o 1EDF-F01 F, D/G 1 B ( AB-560, BB-46) .

o Identify the location of annunciators and status lights by including panel designations in parentheses.

Example:

A. Check S/l actuated:  !

o "SAFETY INJECTION ACTUATED" status light (1SI-13) - LIT o "lCE COND LOWER INLET DOORS OPEN" alarm (1 AD-13, A-7) - DARK.

3.10 ENCLOSURES An enclosure should be used when it is not feasible to present the information needed to perform a step or series of steps in the format of the procedure. Ordinarily, tables, large lists, and graphs should be incorporated into the procedure as enclosures, however, refer to Section 2.3.3 for use of graphics in the text, if necessary, assistance may be obtained from the Production Support or Corporate Graphics Arts Department to <

develop suitable graphics for use as enclosures.

When enclosures are used, instruct the user in the text of the procedure as to the intended use of the enclosure and its location (i.e. , enclosure number).

O Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

o Format enclosure pages as follows (see example in Appendix 1):

(

O o Enclosure page headings shall be the same as other procedure pages with the exception that the enclosure number will be in:luded directly below the procedure title.

o Enclosure pages will be included in the overall procedure page count. Use the "Page _ of _" format at the bottom center of the page, o Enclosures shall be numbered consecutively within a procedure, o Enclosures that must be referenced frequently during the performance of a procedure shall be included as foldout pages, o When using graphs, ensure:

o Lines on the graph are clearly reproducible.

o Scales are consistent with the accuracy needed by the user. Extensive approximation or interpolation should be avoided.

) o Grid lines on the graph are lighter in weight than s/ the axes and the data being presented.

o When using tables, ensure:

o Each column has a heading. Include the units for the data in parentheses in the heading. Do not repeat the units all the way down the column.

o Use the same type style and size as the procedure text.

o Always place horizontal lines above and below the column headings and at the bottom of the table. Place horizontal lines between each entry when needed for cla rity.

o Place vertical lines between columns unless there is sufficient white space for clarity.

Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Rev. 8

CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION ACRONYMS AND ABBREVI ATIONS NOTE 1: Those abbreviations indicated by an asterisk (*) should be used rather than spelling out the word or phrase. As a rule, all other words should be completely spelled out unless space limitations require abbreviation, or unless the context in which the abbreviation is used makes it easily understood.

NOTE 2: Pumps are abbreviated by using the two letter system designation with the word "pump" when the pump name corresponds to the system in which it is located. For example, NC pump (Reactor Coolant Pump) is in the Reactor Coolant System (NC System). This rule does not hold for pumps with names which do not correspond to the system in which they are located. in this case, use ar, abbreviation which most Icgically corresponds to the pump's actual name, taking care not to use an abbreviation that will become confused with a two-letter system designation.
