Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document establishes format and content standards for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS) Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and gives guidance to the E0P writer.for the creation and.
revision of all E0Ps.
1.2 How to Use This Guide This guide was prepared to give the E0P writer guidance in preparing SNPS EOPs. The following process is recommended:
a.
Review Appenpix A, which contains references and other information that will help plan the procedure (s),
b.
Then review Sections 2 and 3, which given an overview of the
'EOP system and the structure of the individual E0Ps.
c.
Then use Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7 and the remaining appendixes to draft the procedure (s).
These sections deal with action step construction, specific points of style, and general guidelines for flowchart and text preparation.
2.
E0P Designation System 2.1 Numbering Scheme The numbering scheme for all SNPS Station Procedures is delineated in SP 12.001.01, "Index and Organization of Station Operations Manual."
2.2 Title The E0P titles are to be brief, yet descriptive.
The flowchart format of the E0Ps enforces brevity. Two princip'ies are to be used in titling E0Ps:
a.
The title should be 10 words or less.
b.
Important words should be at or near the beginning of the title.
2.3 Revision Numbering Scheme Revisions of EOPs are numbered sequentially in accordance with SP 12.006.01, "Station Procedures Preparation, Reviev, Approval, Change Review and Cancellation."
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 14
e-Appsndix 12.1 Page 6 of 95 3,
E0P Structure The E0Ps consist of two formats:
flowcharts and text.
Flowcharts are appendixes of the actual text procedure. Flowcharts contain the following:
a.
Entry conditions b.
Action steps (to bring the plant to a stable co dition, or to branch to another procedure that will do so) c.
Exit criteria Section 6 contains detailed guidelines on flowchart development; Section 7 contains guidelines on text development.
4.
Sten Construction 4.1 Level of Detail
.The detail required in the E0Ps is that required by the least trained operator expected to use the procedure, specifically a newly trained and licensed operator working under emergency (stressful) conditions.
Although abbreviated, the procedural instruction in the flowchart shall reflect the exact intent of the text E0P.
The flow-chart format leaves little room for supporting instruction or infor-mation, and operators are trained on the procedures, so a cluttered flowchart will only hinder efficient performance.
4.2 Step Sequencing Steps will be listed in the required sequence.
The operator assumes the sequence is mandatory unless the procedure specifically states otherwise.
Other considerations in sequencing action steps are:
a.
Structure the control room action steps to ensure that minimum control room staff required by Technical Specifications can perform the actions.
b.
Sequence the steps to minimize personnel movement.
c.
Sequence the steps to minimize physical conflicts among l
operators.
d.
Sequence the steps to avoid unintentional duplication of steps by different operators.
l i
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 15 L
O Appendix 12.1 Page 7 of 95 e.
Structure the steps to be consistent with the roles and responsibilities of operators.
f.
Structure the steps to enable the control room Watch Supervisor and/or Watch Engineer to follow staff actions and monitor plant
-conditions.
4.3 Step Length and Content Instruction steps will be short, simple, and_ complete sentences dealing with only one idea. The following specific guidelines apply:
a.
Write _the step as a command.
b.
Limit the number of action verbs per step to one, unless the actions are closely related, in which case up to three action verbs are acceptable.
Section 5.10.c (Word Choice) defines some of the action verbs commonly used in E0Ps. Appendix D provides a recommended list of action verbs, c.
Describe complex evolutions in a series of steps, d.
Do not state the person performing the action; that is, do not begin a step with "The operator shall..."
e.
Avoid where possible using imprecise adverbs (for example, rapidly or slowly). These terms should only be used when specifically addressed in the Emergency Procedure Guideline and/or Plant Specific Technical Guideline. Appendix D provides a recommended list of action verbs, f.
Avoid double negatives.
g.
When an action has three or more objects, list them vertically using bullets.
For example:
CLOSE OR VERIFY CLOSED:
e RPV HEAD VENTS 1B21-MOV083 AND 1B21 MOV084 e
MSIVs e
MAIN STEAM LINE DRAINS e
RCIC STEAM ISOLATION VALVES l
h.
When actions are required based on receipt of an annunciated l
alarm, state the alarm, the Alarm Response Procedure number and L
its setpoirt.
l l
l l
l SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 16 l
t
Appandix 12.1 Page 8 of 95 1.
If required for proper understanding, describe the system response time associated with step performance.
J.
When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, state the time frame.
-However, avoid using time to initiate operator actions because
. operator actions should be related to plant parameters,
-L' hen
- anticipated system responses may adversely affect instru-e.
ment indications, describe in a CAUTION:
(1) the conditions that will very'likely introduce instrument error and (2) a means of determining whether instrument error has occurred.
1.
When additional confirmation of system response is necessary, state the batkup readings to be made.
4.4 Types of Steps Guidance for different types of actions follows:
a.
Simple Action Step Contains a command and is a simple complete sentence.
Begin this type of step with the action verb (e.g., close, open, position). An example of a simple action step is:
Increase injection flow to maximum, b.
Verification Step Used to determine if the object of a task or a sequence of actions have been achieved.
Begin with an action verb that clearly indicates that verification is to be performed:
Verify isolation of containment vent valves.
As stated in Section 4.3 above, vertically list three or more items to be verified, c.
Continuous Step Used for actions that must be continuously performed.
Indicate clearly that an action is to be performed continuously:
Continue to reduce floor drain sump levels until below the values of Table SC/L 1, Col. 1.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 17
e Appendix 12.1 Page 9 of 95 d.
Recurrent Step Used for an action that must be repeatedly performed.
Indicate clearly (1) when or how often the step is to be performed and (2) under what conditions the step should no longer be carried out.
Remind the operator at a later point to keep performing the step.
An example of a recurrent step is:
Check tank level every 30 minutes, e.
Alternative Step Used for actions that have equally correct alternative steps.
List the preferable method first; however, use the logic word OR to state that the prescribed step may be performed in alternative ways.
An example of an alternative step is:
lE drywell chamber 02 concentration cannot be determined to be below Si, IHEN vent and purge she primary containment, irrespective of the offsite radioactivity release rate, until drywell chamber H2 concentration can be determined to be below 6%
OB 02 concentration can be determined to be below 5%
f.
Concurrent Steps Used for steps that must be performed at the same time.
Indicate clearly whether any steps need to be performed con-currently (i.e., operating within different parts or sections of a single procedure or the use of more than one procedure at the same time) with other steps by using such words as "simul-taneously," "at the same time," or "concurrently."
If the actions are closely related, join the actions with e
"and" within the same step. However, "and" does not in itself imply simultaneous performance, so the need for simultaneous action still needs to be stated.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 18
f
- e Appsndix 12.1 Page 10 of 95 e
If the actions are not closely related enough to be in-cluded in the same step, or if there are more than three closely related actions, list the steps with a lead-in instruction indicating the need for simultaneity, such as "perform the following actions concurrently."
An example of a concurrent step is:
If a primary system is discharging into secondary containment, IHES before any area temperature exceeds its maximum safe operating temperature per Table SC/T-1, Col. 1, enter SP 29.023.01, RPV Control, at Step 3.1 and execute concurrently with this procedure.
The number of concurrent steps should not be beyond the capability of the control room staff to perform them.
g.
Nonsequential Step A nonsequential step requires an action at various intervals.
Indicate clearly where and when a nonsequential step applies, under what conditions it applies, and the time sequence required for performance.
An example of a nonsequential step is:
IE while executing the following steps secondary containment exhaust radiation levels exceed 5.4 x 105 CPM as read on PM 29, IHEH initiate the following:
e isolation of RENVS e
initiation of RBSVS h.
Time Dependent Step A time-dependent step requires an action at some specified time interval, or some time after another action.
Clearly identify
~~
the appropriate time frame.
An example of a time dependent step is:

Decision Step Used to lead the operator to the appropriate part of the flowchart by diagnosing a question.
Indicate clearly each decision (YES or NO) and each reference to the appropriate section of-the E0P.
An example'of a decision step is:
CAN RPV WATER LEVEL BE RESTORED AND MAINTAINED ABOVE -189 IN.
4.5 Logic Terms-The following gui8elines apply to the use of logic terms.
Logic terms will be underlined for emphasis in flowchart procedures and underlined..in allJcapitals, and bolded for emphasis in text pro-cedures.
See Section 7.4 for the Use of Logic Terms in text pro-cedures. Use only the logic terms listed below, a.
AN_D/OR Avoid the use of 6ED and QB within the same action.
When 6ED and QB are used together, the logic can be very ambiguous.
For example, the following instruction could be interpreted in more than one sense:
lE CONDITION 1 AED CONDITION 2 QE CONDITION 3 OCCURS, TjiEE GO TO STEP 1.
b.
LED When attention should be called to combinations of conditions or closely related actions, use the word 6ED between the actions or conditions.
For example:
Stop the pump AED P ace l
it in standby.
Do not use the word 6ED to join three or more actions or con-ditions.
If three or more actions or conditions need to be joined, use a list format.
For example:
i l
t l
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 20 l

' If while executing the following steps:
e Reactor power is above 5%
AED e
RPV water level is above -158 in.
AND e
An SRV is open, IDEN return to Step LP-3 Do not emphayize the word AND when it is used as a conjunction that connects two action verbs or two objects.
For example:
WHEN all injection into the RPV except from boron injection systems, CRD, and RCIC has been terminated and prevented, IHEN continue in this procedure.
c.
QS 1)
When any one of two or more conditions can initiate an action, use the logic word QE to join the conditions.
For example:
VHEN all control rods are inserted to or beyond 02 DB it has been determined that the reactor will remain shut down under all conditions without boron, IEEH continue in this procedure at step.
Do not emphasize the word OR when it is used as a con-junction that connects two action verbs or two objects.
For example:
Confirm or place the modes with in SHUTDOWN 2)
Use QE in the inclusive sense, that is, either Condition A or B or halb would initiate the action.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 21
s Appendix 12.1 Page 13 of 95 3)
If QB is meant in the exclusive sense, use wording to indicate this meaning, for example, "Condition A QB B but HQI both."
4)
If two-conditions are !nvolved, join them with QB within the step.
If while executing this procedure turbine building HVAC is shut down QB in the Recirculation mode, IHEN restart turbine building HVAC and direct its discharge to the station ventilation exhaust.
5)
If three or more conditions are involved, use a list format. For example:
VHEN either all control rods are inserted to or beyond 02 QB it has been determined that the reactor will. remain shut down under all condit-ions without boron, QB the entire contents of the SLC tank have been inj e c ted,
QB the reactor is shut down and no boron has been inj ected, IHEH depressurize the RPV and maintain cooldown rate below 0
100 F/HR.
d.
IF or VHEN
.THEN When action steps are contingent on certain conditions or combinations, begin the step with II or EHEH followed by a description of the condition (s), a comma, and the word IBEH followed by the action to be taken. EHEN is used for an expected condition. II is used to determine the specific course of action based on plant conditions.
For example:
VHEN 786 gallons of sodium pentaborate has been injected into the RPV, IHEH restore and maintain RPV water level between 12.5 in. and 56.5 in.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 22
Appendix 12.1 Page 14 of 95 In retainment steps, when operators must remember information about a condition that may occur while they are performing subsequent. steps, begin the step with IE WHILE executing the following steps, followed by a description of the condition or cor.ditions, a comma, and the word IHEH followed by the action to be taken. For example:
If VHILE executing the following steps RPV water level can be restored and maintained above 158 in.,
IHEN enter SP 29.023.01, RPV Control at STEP RC/L-1.
NOTE:
Do not use IHEH to connect steps, bo not use WHILE by itself.
e.
IF NOT Use IF NOT (nly where the operator must respond to the second of two possible conditions.
II should be used for the first condition.
For example:
If Pressure is increasing, IHEN stop the injection pump IF MOT, IHEN start ar additional injection pump.
Examples of conditional statements using logic words are given in Section 4.6 below.
4.6 Conditional Statements Conditional action steps must be constructed simply and clearly because of the often complex logic and ideas therein. The following rules apply:
a.
The II or EHEH clause precedes the action:
IE supp pool temp reaches 1100F, IHEH scram the reactor.
EHEH RPV pressure decreases to 800 psig, IEEE OPen all ADS valves 6MD go to SP 29.023.01.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Pal;e 23
-L
Appsndix 12.1 Page 15 of 95 b.
Where three or'more conditions exist, a listing approach is preferable:
. II ~
while executing the following steps:
e Reactor power is above 5% or unknown BED e
RPV water level is above -158 in.
AED Supp pool temp is above 1100F e
bHD Either an SRV is open or opens QE e
drywell pressure is above 1,69 psig, IEEE return to Step LP-9.
c, Where only one of two conditions produces an action, use the following approach:
lE boron injection is required QB boron injection has been initiated, IHEN terminate AED prevent injection from all systems except boron injection and CRD.
If there were three or more conditions in the above example, a listing approach would be preferable, with each condition linked by QR (underlined and centered between the conditions).
d.
When an action step has specific conditions relating to sequence and plant paramaters, use the following approach:
BEFORE drywell temp reaches 340 F 0
l l
8EE If drywell pressure is below curve D'a'- T 1, I
IEEN initiate drywell spray.
SP 21,009,02 Rev. 1 Page 24
e Appendix 12.1 Page 16 of 95 Conditional statements are treated in further detail in NUREG-0899, "Guidelf.nes for the Preparation of Emergency Operating Procedures," Appendix B, and in INP0 82 017, "Emergency Operating Procedures Uriting Guidelines," Section-2.1.18.
e.
Spacing above and below centered logic words (i.e., AED, Q3) in conditional statements should be consistent throughout.
The spaces between bulleted items (single or double space) should also be consistent.
4.7 Referencing and Branching a.
Definitions The term "referencing" in connection with another procedure implies that the referenced procedure will be used as a supplement to the initial procedure.
Referencing can also occur within a procedure, either forward or backward.
The term "branching" means that operators exit the initial procedure and enter a new procedure, so that at any given time they are working with only one procedure.
b.
Guidelines Excessive referencing to other procedures or forward / backward within a procedure causes operator errors.
It is best to minimize referencing and brsnching.
The following guidelines apply:
1)
If the length or complexity of the procedure will not be substantially increased, repeat the needed information rather than referencing.
2)
Reference complete procedures or sections of procedures if possible.
Requiring an operator to use another procedure for just a few steps is to be avoided.
3)
Be sure to clearly direct operators back to whers *he t left off.
4)
Include references to SNPS Emergency Plan Implementirg Procedures (EPIPs) as appropriate.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 25
Appendix 12.1 Page 17 of 95 c.
Format 1)
When referencing another step, flow path, or procedure to be used as a supplement, use words such as "REFER T0" or
... USING-SP 23.708.01."
For example:
WHEN directed to cold shutdown in Section 3.5, THEN proceed to cold shutdown using SP 22.005.01, Shutdown From 20% Power.
A procedure may also be referenced by providing the procedure number in parenthesis after the referenced supplemental action, or by using the concurrent step symbol In flowcharts described in Section 6.9.
2)
When branching to another procedure or flow path, use words such as "exit / enter," and the entry and exit symbols in flowcharts described in Section 6.10 and 6.11.
For example:
WHEN RPV water level drops to -158 in.,
THEN enter SP 29.023.05, Emergency RPV Depressurization, Step ED/P-1.
3)
When referencing or branching, include the procedure number, procedure title, and where applicable, the step number.
For example:
If emergency RPV depressutization is required, IHEU enter SP 29.023.05, Emergency RPV Depresaurization Step ED/P 5.
4.8 Safety Parameter Display System References An ellipse will be placed on the flowchart at approp2iate points to indicate that pertinent information is available on the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS). Within the ellipse, place the appropriate SPDS "page" number. Use a hyphen instead of listing consecutive page numbers in a series (see Figure 6 18).
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 26
Appendix 12.1 Page 18 of 95 4.9 Component Identification Consistently identify equipment, controls, and displays in operator language (common usage) terms without the location, with the following eaceptions:
a.
When the specific component number is used, ensure that it matches the labeling in the Control Room and plant.
Example:
Close the HCU accumulator charging water header isolation valve 1C11-F034 b.
If the component is seldom used or difficult to locate, give location information such as the panel number.
Example:
Turn traveling screen switch on Panel 1-B to Auto.
Consider the level of detail required in naming equipment, controls, and displays. Within the steps, refer to components in generic terms, such as:
Main Condenser ADS valves SCRAM valves Where an acronym is more commonly used by operators, use it in the procedure in preference to the official term:
SRVs, not SAFETY RELIEF VALVES RPV, not REACTOR PRESSURE VESSEL 4.10 Word choice The EOP format requires brevity, so words must be selected careful-ly.
The following guidelines apply:
a.
Use simple, short, familfar words commonly understood by the trained operator, b.
Use concrete, specific words. Avoid where possible using imprecise adverbs (for example, rapidly or slowly).
These terms should only be used when specifically addressed in the Emergency Procedure Guideline and/or Plant Specific Technical Guideline. When used, these terms are to be quantitatively addressed in training, SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 27
O Appendix 12.1 Page 19 of 95 c.
Use specific action verbs.
For control circuitry that executes an entire function upon actuation of the control switch, use the action verb without further instructions on how to manipu-late the control oevice.
Recommended accion verbs a.te:
e For power-driven rotating equipmenc:
START, STOP For valves: OPEN, CLOSE, THROTTLE OPEN, THROTTLE CLOSED,
=
THROTTLE For power distribution breakers:
SYNCHRONIZE, CLOSE, TRIP e
For multiposition control switches that have more than one e
position for a similar function, placement to the desired position should be specified.
Appendix D is a list of recommended action verbs.
d.
Use Appendix E or Procedure SP 11.011.01, "Standard Abbrevia-tions" for acceptable abbreviatieas and acronyms.
e.
The same words should be used consistently.
4.11 Hothods of Emphasis The following methods are to be used:
a.
Logic terms l
1)
Flowcharts Underline IF, WHEN THEN, and IF NOT and l
place the,e 1:gic terms on the luft of the step symbol.
l Undarline AND and OR and center these logic terms on a j
separate line between the apprceriate objects or condi-tions contained within the symbol.
2)
Text Procedures. Capitalize, underline, and bold IF..
WHEN, THEN, and IF NOT and place thesa logic terms to the left of the step. Underline and' cold AND and OP. and place these logic terms on a separate lirs to the left of the step.
b.
Other typts of information: underlining when appr:,priate for special emphasis. The following exampics apply:
1)
Underline prose procedure subsections that are oerforced concurrently with other subsections within the sua pro-cedure; such as 3.3 Monitor and control Reactor Pe,Igr.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 28 x
Appendix 12.1 Page 20 of 95 2)
Underline flowchart procedure caution and note titles within the flowchart procedure block located on the left bottom of each flowchart, like CAUTIONS AND NOTES, i
5.
Mechanics of sevie The following subsections provide guidance to the procedure writer in terms of style. All punctuation shall be in accordance with a Merriam-Webster dictionary.
5.1 Spelling Use spelling consistent with a current dictionary.
When a choice of spellings is offered, use the first listed.
5.2 Abbreviations and Acronyms The use of abbreviations and acronyms depends heavily on user faniliarity; that is, their meaning must be unquastionably clear to an expected procedure user. On the other hand,-they are needed to sive space in the dual column and flowchart format. Therefore, the f>11owing guidelines apply:
a.
Spell out all words in procedure titles, b.
Use abbreviations and acronyms that the operator learns in the course of training, and only those listed in SP 11.011.01, "Standard Abbreviations," or in Appendix E.
c.
Ensure that abbreviations and acronyms are consistent with labels in the control room.
d.
Use abbreviations for units of measure:
FT, not FEET; PSI, not POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH.
e.
Be consistent in using abbreviations and acronyms; always spell them the tsme way.
f.
To arta an abbreviation p1iral, add a lowercase s:
Reserve the apostrophe for showing possessive.
Procedure SP11.011.01, "Standard Abbreviations" contains abbrevia-tions and acronyms used in SNPS E0Po which are incorporated in Appendix E.

If hyphenation is difficult to avoid because of space, words must be divided as shown in a current Merriam Webster dictionary, and at least three letters must be carried down to the next line.
1 Hyphens are used to link elements of a compound word (called a unit-modifier),-such as "nine-digit number" and "long term control."
Hyphens are also used in the following circumstances:
e In compounds with "self":
self-explanatory
- r e
When the last letter of the first word or prefix is the same vowel as the first' letter of the second word:
re-energize i
When misleading or awkward.consenants would reso.t by joining e

Use a comma to set off an introductory phrase or word.
4)
Use a comma before the conjunction connecting the last item in a series of three or more, for example:
Avoid RPV high water level trip on RFFTs, RCIC, and HPCI injection valve (1E41*MOV035).
Note that a series of three or more items is listed vertically, so commas are not used, c.
Parentheses Parentheses are used to give additional, defining, information or reference
- procedure numbers as shown below.
RHR (STEAM CONDENSING MODE) e RC/Q 25 (3.6.5) e RCU BLOD0'.'N MODE (SP 23.709.01) d.
Period A period is used to end a complete statement, although it is generally not used within the flowchart symbols. A period is omitted when:
1)
Listing items vertically.
For example:

HPCI e
CS e
LPCI 2)
Spelling an acronym:
HPCI, not H.P.C.I.
3)
Abbreviating units of measure:
FT, LB, PS1 However, IN.
is used to avoid confusion with the word IN.

5.6 Acceptance Criteria and Calculations The following rules apply:
Be as specific as possible when stating qualitative acceptance a.
criteria. Avoid using vague words like "satisfactory" or "normal."
b.
Express quantitative acceptance criteria and tolerances in ranges so that the operator does not need to mentally add or subtract.
For example, UPSET RANGE (0 to +100 IN.)

Sample Single Retainment Override Step Multiple Retainment Override Steps provide more than one informa-tional statement and/or contir.gency action condition.
Each infor-mational statement or contingency action condition is listed under the "lE" statement, marked by a bullet, and separated by a single line.
Each statement or condition is considered a subset of the multiple retainment override step. A simple Multiple Retainment Override Step is shown in Figure 6-8.

Arrowheads will be used on connecting lines to clarify the direction of the path. Arrowheads will enter flowchart symbols from the top, not from the side.
d.
Bent lines are used every place that connecting lines intersect to clarify the direction of the flow path. A bent line diag-onally intertects with the main flow path line pointing in the direction that the flow path continues.
6.17 Flowchart Step Numbering Scheme a.
. Multiple Branch E0Ps Multiple branch E0Ps use an AA/B C format, where:
AA - the procedure designator the branch of the procedure B
the sequential step number C
For example, Reactor Control, Level Branch, Step 3 would be numbered RC/L 3.
b.
Single-Branch E0Ps Single branch E0Ps use an AA B format,-where:
AA - the procedure designator the sequential step number B
For example, Level Restoration, Step 5 would be numbered IR-5.
c.
Beside each flowchart step number the referenced text procedure number appears in parenthesis. This dual numbering scheme will assist the operator in the event of having to reference the text format procedure against the flowchart. This numbering scheme complies with SP 12.006.01, "Station Procedures - Pre-paration, Review, Approval, Change Review, and Cancellation."
For example, Level Restoration, Step 5 would be numbered LR-5 (3.2.5).

3)
The flowcharts should be no larger than 36" x 60" and no smaller than 8-1/2" x 11' 6.20 Printed Figures Within E0P Flowcharts Figures (such as graphs and charts) and tables may be used to aid the operator in performing the action steps.
Include only relevant information.
For example, a table of ve,1ues could be used so that a calculation is avoided, a.
Labeling Scheme 1)
Graphs and tables will be titled.
2)
Graphs and tables will be numbered in the XX Y-Z format, where:
XX is the branch of the flowchart that the graph or e
table applies to.
Y is the parameter of concern in the flowchart e
branch.
e Z is a sequential number of graphs or tables used in that branch.

Graphs and tables will be referred to by number within the action step, b.
Placement A graph or table is located on the flowchart near the first step that refers to it.
Dashed lines link the graph or table and the applicable step.
c.
Quality Figures will be self explanatory and legible under the expected conditions of use.
Specifically, 1)
The typeface will be a simple style, in full capitals, at least 1/8 inch in height.
2)
The figure will be a high quality reproduction (or reduction),
i.e., not a blurry photocopy.
d.
Consistency The terms used in the figure (i.e., equipment designations, parameter units, etc.) will match those used in the procedure steps and in the control room itself. Units of measure and numerical values will be consistent with SNPS Technical Speci-fications and with actual control room indicators.
Where a consistency with actual control room indicators cannot be used, conversion chart is required to ease operators in the conver-sion process.

Substeps shall be numbered sequentially according to the expected order of performance.
If the order of substep performance is not important, the substeps should be designateo by bullets (o).
The step numbering scheme above shall be used in both the right and left columns of the E0Ps.
7.3 Instruction Step Length and Content Instruction steps will be succinct and precise and will be located in the instructions column of the right hand page.
General rules to be used in meeting these objectives are as follows:
a.
Write the instractina step as a command.
b.
Where possible, instruction steps should deal with one idea
- only, c.
Short, simple, and complete sentences should be used.
d.
Complex evolutions should be described in a series of steps, with each step made simple, e.
Action steps should be presented completely on one page.
f.
Objects of operator actions should be specifically stated.
g.
Instructional steps and substeps should be listed with space provided for operator checkoff.
Checkoffs assist operators in keeping track of their position within a procedure.
For in-structional steps that involve an action verb relating to three or more objects, the objects shall be listed with space provided for operator checkoff.

State display, contro, or equipment location when the equip-ment is seldom used or difficult to find.
For example:
l' Turn traveling screen switch on Panel 1 B to AUTO.
k.
When actions are required based upon receipt of an annunciated alarm, the alarm setpoint should be listed.
1.
If required for proper understanding, describe the rystem response time associated with performance of the instruction.
m.
When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, denote the time frame.
However, avoid using tine to initiate operator actions, as operator actions should be related to plant parameters.
n.
When anticipated system reopense may adversely affect instru-ment indications, (1) descr.'be the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and, (2) describe a means of deter-mining if instrument error has occurred by using a CAUTION.
o.
When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the backup.eadings to be made.
7.3.1 Instruction Column, Left Column The left column of the dual column format contains the operator instructional steps In addition to the rules above, general rules to be used in meeting these objec-tives are as follows:
a.
Expected indications (e.g., specific meter or display readings or general plant response) should be pre-sented in this column.
b.
Operator actions in this column should be appropriate for the expected indications, c.
Section headings should be in full capitals ar.d underlined for emphasis.
~
d.
High level steps should begin with an appropriate verb, or verb with modifier. The first letter in each important word should be capitalized, and the entire
~~
step should be underlined for emphasis.
If the nigh-level step begins with a logie word, capitalize, bold, and underline the logic word only.
For example.

Appendix 12.1 i
Page 46 of 95 7.3.2 Right Column The right column is used for operator notes. A note gives the operator information clarifying the left column instruc-tion. Notes never contain an action.
The noto format according to SP 12.006.01 is as-follows:
The word "NOTE" is on the first line in all' uppercase letters, underlined, and followed by a colon.
The text of the note begins on the second line directly under the heading "NOTE."
For example, H2II:
Core Spray Pressure range:
333 to O psig 7.4 Use of Logic Terms The logic terms 6ED, DB, IE, IF NOT, )!HEH,.CANNOT, and IllEN shall be used to describe precisely a set of conditions or a sequence of actions.
Logic terms shall appear in full capitals, underlined, bolded, and placed to the left of the text for emphasis.
a.
Avoid the use of AHD and DB within the same action.
When AND and OR are used together, the logic can be very ambiguous.
For example:
1 BAD:
lE Condition A 6HD B QB Condition C occurs, IljfH go to Step 36.
C00D: If both of the following occur:
o Condition A e Condition B or C IllEN go to Step 36.
i SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 55 f
o 4
Appendix 12.1 Page 47 of 95 b.
When attention should be called to combinations of conditions, use the word AND as a logic werd placed between the description of each condition, The word 6ED shall not be used to join more than thrae conditions.
If four or more conditions need to be joined, a list format sh.31 be used.
Fot example:
If less than 4 ADS /SRVs are open, AED RPV pressure is ac least 50 psig above suppression chambers
- pressure, IHSH rapidly depressurize the RPV.
Do not emphasize the word AND when it is used as a conjunction that connects two action verbs or two objects.
For example:
EUEH all injection into the RPV except from boron injection systena, CRD, and RCIC has been terminated arid prevented, Ih5E continue in this procedure.
c.
When att.sntion should be called to alternative corbinations of conditions, use the word Q3 as a logic word placed between the alternatives.
For example:
If no SRV is open DB RPV pressure cannot be incressed to above the Minimum Alternative RPV Flooding Pressure, IDE8 increase injection into the RPV.
Do not emphasize the word OR when it is used as a conjunction that connects two action verbs or two objects.
For example:
Confi'm or place the mode swicch in SHUTDOWH.
d.
When action steps are contingent upon certain conditiens or combinations of conditions, the step shall beS n with the words i
If or VHEN followed by a description of the condition or condi-tions, a comma, and the word IEEN followed by the action to be taken. E}{F5 ' S used for an expected condition. If is used to deterwSie 'he spu-ific course of action based upon plant condi-tions.

Appendix 12.1 Page 50 of 95 7.7 Calculations Mathematical calculations should be avoided in EOPs; a chart or graph should be vaad if a value has to be determined.
These charts or graphs shall be lucated on the left hand paga across from-the appropriate procedure step, if possible.
7.8 Figures and Tables Figures (including graphs, diagrams, drawings, and other illustrations) and tables should aid the user in performing procedure tasks.
For example, a table of values could be used to avoid a calculation.
However, figures and tables should include only relevant information, General Guid,elines c.
On the basis of the technical and user information analyzed, determine:
e whether graphics are needed; the type of graphic that would serve the user best; and, e
where the graphics.should be placed.
e 1)
Tables and Graphs Tables organize information and help the user obtain and utilize data.
Graphs present a visual image of the relation-ship of data.
Both tables and graphs can help reduce tha need for the user to make interpretations of data obtained while performing the procedure. Reducing the need for interpretation also reduces the probability of human error.
Consider u;ing a table or graph whenever the user will nend to analyze obtained data for activities such as determining trends and comparing measurements with theoretical or expected values.
2)
Diagrams, Drawings, and Illustrations The type of illastrations included in a procedure should contribute to the usability of the procedure.
The writer must be aware that the illustrations used in a procedure need to help the user.
Including illustrations'that are not usable,,uch as a figure from a vendor's manual chat has been reduced so much the information cannot be road, only serves to frustrate the user and add to the difficulty of performing the procedure.
Consider illustrations that help the user locate items that are infrequently used, have poor access, or are not labeled.

Designing Figures and Tables 1)
Use the following guidelines in designing tables:
e Ensure that the relationship between the. entries is immediately apparent by choosing an appropriate title and column headings.
e Wherever possi'.Te, use a vertical page layout so that the user does not have to turn the page sideways.
If horizontal alignment is necessary, then the page, table, graph, etc., should be arranged such that the bottom of the page faces to the right when viewed vertically.
Set. off column headings from the column entries by o
using full capitals, underlining, or a horizontal rule, Ensure the columnar information is aligned both o
horizontally and vertically after it is typed.
e Use vertical rules between columns unless there is sufficient white space for clarity, Ensuce consistency between tables and text.
e 2)
Use the following guidelines for figures:
Keep the drawing simple.
It must represent the task-e specific information with a minimum of detail. Omit detailed componet.ts cnd parts unless related directly to the procedure.
e Ensure that reduced illustrations are still readable, Ensure that oversized art is reduced enough to fit o
within standard page margins, but is still legible.
e Ensure consistency between figures and text.
3)
Use the following guidelines for graphs:
Data lines on the graph paper are clearly reproducible, e
Scales are consistent with the accuracy needed by the e
user and avoid extensive approximation or interpolation.
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 60

Appsndix 12.1 Page 52 of 95 Grid lines. appear on all graphs and are lighter in e
weight than the axes and the data being presented, o
Ensure consistency between graphs and text, c.
Figure and Table Designation Figures and tables will be specifically designated by an abbre-viation of the procedure in which they reside and the sequential number of the table.
For example, the third table in a Drywell Temperature (DW) procedure would be designated as:
DW/T 3 d.
Figure and Table Location Place figures and tables on the left-hand page across from the appropriate procedure step.

e Appsndix 12.1 Page 56 of 95 PIANNING GUIDANCE FOR THE PROCEDURE WRITER Before starting a first draft of any document, a writer should research.the topic,. analyze,the audience, and either outline or diagram the major points to be covered to establish organization and sequence. This appendix contains guidance in these areas that are specific to the SNPS EOP writer.
1.0 pather Technical References The first step in procedure development is research into the technical documents to which the procedure must adhere.
These documents include, but are not limited to:
.a.
PSTGs:
The E0Ps are to be written based on these guidelines, b.
BWROG EPGs: Although the E0Ps are directly derived from the PSTGs, it may be necessary to verify technical information by referring to the generic EPGs.
c.
Technical Specifications.
d.
USAR: Updated Safety Analysis Report.
2.0 Cather Suonortinc References and Guidelines 2.1 Writing Guidelines Additional references on writing and style are needed to write the procedure. The following are recommended.
a.
A current Merriam Webster dictionary: A dictionary is needed to determine spelling and hyphenation of words.
b.
NUREG-0899, "Guidelines for the Preparation of Emergency Operating Procedures," August 1982:
This NUREG contains the human factors principles upon which this writer's guide is based, and may be helpful to clarify or amplify this guide.
c.
INPO 82 017, "Emergency Operating Procedures Writing Guidelines,"
July 1982: Many of the principles outlined in this INPO document are restated in this writer's guide. The original INP0 document may be needed for further guidance on a specific point.
3.0 &npivze the User Research into the expected procedure user is needed to ensure a workable procedure.
Most questions on style and content can be answered by first asking "Who is the user?"
SP 21.009.02 Rev. 1 Page 65
Appendix 12.1~
Fage 57 of 95 Factors to be considered in user analysis include:
a.
Level of training and education 1)
What is
.e level-of the least trained?
2)
What is the level of the most trained?
3)
Is there a wide range of operators with different.levets of training?
b.
Years of experience: The same questions apply.
c.
Expected environment 1)
What are the physical conditions, such as lighting, control room layout, and number of operators in the control rocu?
2)
What is the expected stress level? How will it affret the operator's ability to read, comprehend, and efficiently execute the procedures?
d.
Past problems with procedures 1)
What kind of. procedural deficiencies have led to user difficulties at SNPS?
2)
What problems have other plants had and how did they resolve them?
4.0 Outline the Maior Points Outlining or charting out the procedure's ma_ior paths or steps helps the writer examine the logic and organization early.
In the outline, flow diagram, or event tree, show the following:
a.
Sequence, including concurrent flow paths b.
Decision points
.c.
Any third party verification, approval, or notification points d.
Interfaces with other EOPs e.
Interfaces with other plant procedures, such as EPIPs The outline or chart can then be filled out into a procedure draft.
