BIG ROCK POINT NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE To guide the administrative process used in the verification of the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). E0P verification is a comparative evaluation that addresses whether the E0Ps are written correctly and are technically accurate. Discrepancies between the E0Ps and the E0P source documents will have been identified, evaluated, and resolved.
This procedure applies to E0P verification prior to implementation of the E0Ps.

BIG ROCK POINT NUCLEAR PLANT DIERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 6.1 Preparation Plna The preparation phase consists of the following activities:
designate personnel to conduct the comparative evaluation obtain and review the E0P source documents 6.1.1 Designate Personnel The EOP Project Manager shall appoint the. necessary personnel as evaluators to conduct the comparative evaluation. Personnel should be appointed based on operating experience and understanding of plant hardware, the EPGs, and the writers guide.
6.1.2 Obtain and Review the E0P Source Documents The listing of E0P source documents is provided on Form #1 of the E0P Verification Forms (Attachment 1) and shall be reviewed by the personnel conducting the assessment phase. These documents shall be reviewed to ensure they are complete, current, and applicable. Any additional applicable source documents shall be i
listed.
6.2 Assessment Phase In the assessment phase the evaluator shall:
A.
Make a general review of the E0P using the procedure-specific portion of the evaluation criteria (Attachment 2) and source documents.
i B.
Indicate on Form #1 of the E0P Verification Forms (Attachment
- 1) that the evaluation was performed, either by checking the acceptable column or by designating the appropriate discrepancy sheet for any discrepancies identified. Any discrepancy identified shall be stated on the Discrepancy Sheet (Attachment 3) or similar form. Resolutions shall also be proposed, whenever possible.
C.
Make a step-by-step review of the E0P using the step, caution, note-specific portion of the evaluation criteria (Attachment 2) and source documents.
D.
Indicate for each step on Form #2 of the E0P Verification Forms (Attachment 1) that the comparative evaluation was performed, either by checking the acceptable column or by i
designating the appropriate discrepancy sheet for any discrepancies identified. Any discrepancy identified shall 3

-BIG ROCK POINT NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURE VERIFICATION PROCEDURE be stated on the Discrepancy Sheet (Attachment 3) or similar form. Resolutions shall also be proposed, whenever possible.
E.
Complete Form #3 of the E0P Verification Forms (Attachment 1) and forward the verification forms with the discrepancy sheets to the E0P Validation and Verification Coordinator.
6.3 Resolution Phase In the resolution phase, the E0P Validation and Verification Coordinator shall be responsible for the A.
Review of the evaluator's comments and resolution of any conflicts between the writer's and evaluator's comments. If agreement can not be reached, the E0P Project Manager shall then resolve any conflicts.
B.
Updating the applicable source documents and procedures with approved resolutions as directed by the operations supervisor.
6.4 Documentation Phase The ?ocumentation developed throughout the process will be maintained in the Document Control Center (DCC) in accordance with Big Rock Point Manual, Volume 1, Chapter 11.
All E0P verification documentation which has been approved by the Plant Review Committes is to be submitted to DCC by the E0P Project Manager.
