RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF DEVIATION 50-458/8624-01

Notice
of
Deviation
J.
E.
Gagliardo letter to W. J. Cahill, Jr.
-
dated October 23, 1986.
FAILURE TO VERIFY AND VALIDATE CERTAIN ABNORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
REASON FOR THE DEVIATION
During the initial Emergency Operating
Procedure
(EOP)
verification
and validation (V&V) phase, it was determined that some EOP steps were
event oriented.
To provide cohesive
guidance
to
the
operator
and
utilize
good
human
engineering principles, event oriented EOPs were
combined into existing plant Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs).
In
this
process,
documentation
of
the
of
the
new AOPs is not
available.
It is believed to
have
been
an
isolated
oversight
of
" Verification
and
Validation of
Emergency
Operating
Procedures".
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED
" Alternate
Shutdown
Cooling",
" Anticipated
Transient Without Scram", and AOP-0022, " Radioactive Release Control",
are
undergoing
a
rewrite
in
accordance
with
" Authors
Guide / Control
and
Use
of
Emergency
Operating
Procedures",
to be
incorporated as EOPs.
Prior to approval and implementation they
will
receive a documented V&V in accordance with OSP-0008.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER DEVIATIONS
A review was performed to ensure no other procedures exist outside the
Based on this review it is
believed
that
this
was
an
isolated
event
requiring
no
further
corrective
actions.
Procedures (OSP-0008, OSP-0009) are in place to require
revisions
to
the
to
be
done
in
accordance
with the procedure generation
package (PGP).
DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED
V&V will be conducted on procedure
revisions
by
January
30,
1987.
Further
revisions
necessitated
from
the
process
will
be
incorporated, reviewed and approved by February 15, 1987.
Shift
crew
training
on
the
subject
revisions
will
be
provided
prior
to
implementation.
