1.0 NON LICENSED OPERATOR GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES 1.1 Non Licensed Operators are assigned the responsibility of performing or observing the following functions and requirements.
- 1. Alertness / Attention to Duty Operations Department personnel have the individual responsibility to be alert throughout their shift assignment, in addition to maintaining alertness, Operations Department personnel shall be attentive to the work and tasks they perform to assure that they are accomplished completely and accurately, i
a.
Attentiveness The Quality Assurance Program requires frequent monitoring and checking i
of plant systems. Such monitoring shallinclude status in the Control Room and general operating conditions in the operating areas of the plant.
i A primary method of monitoring operating status and conditions is the f (,
observation of equipment, controis, and displays. These observations obtain the following types of information:
i l
1)
Configuration of the equipment or system (e.g. valve position, switch position, vibration, lastruments isolated or valved into service, including that of tagged equipment).
2)
Condition of equipment or system (e.g. clean, dirty, blockeo by material or trash, vibrating, overheated, etc.).
3)
Status of equipment (e.g. shutdown, operating, isolated, in standby, etc.).
4)
Status of alarms, or other warning indicators such as bamers or signs.
5)
Process parameters (e.g. voltage, temperature, flow, pressure) with respect to expected or normal values.
Observation of these items is a primary activity of the Plant Equipment Operators.
\\
Observations are classified into two situations, awareness observations and scheduled observations. These observations, their action results, and documentation requirements are summarized in the following paragraphs.
x
1 oM 3 4, Rey. 0 Page 3of 7 During their normal shift activities, Plant Equipment Operators (PEO) should be aware of the conditions of equipment, areas, and ongoing work that they encounter. For example, noticing a stream or pool of water that should not normally exist is being aware of plant conditions. Other types 01 problems that Plant Equipment Operator should be aware of are steam leaks, unusual vibrations, pipe hanger movement, and personnel safety hazards.
If an abnormal situation, an adverse trend or an unsafe condition is observed, the observer shall promptly advise Shift Management.
The round sheets maintained by the PEO should include a brief description of their observations, to ensure that equipment, systems, annunciators, displays, or areas are observed on a routine basis. These scheduled observations are assigned by Surveillances or by round sheets.
During these observations, the PEO records the equipment / system parameter data or conditions of the round sheet or Surveillance Log and evaluates the conditions of the structure and equipment in the general area of the equipment. To communicate information to other operators, round sheets or Surveillance Logs are reviewed by Shift Management and used I,')
as part of the Shift Tumover process.

- 2. Manipulation of Reactor Controls Only a licensed Re. actor Operator or Senior Reactor Operator may manipulate the -
controls the reactor [10CFR50.54(l)). A licensed Reactor Operstor or an individual with a Senior Reactor Operator license must be present at the controls at all times.
[10CFR50.54(k)] " Controls" as used in this paragraph means apparatus and mechanisms, the manipulation of which DIRECTLY affect the reactivity or power levelof the reactor. [10CFR50.55.21(4))
The term " controls" as used in the above paragraph has been interpreted not to be limited to those controls on the CRP 905 and 904 panels for the Reactor Recirculation and Control Rod Drive Systems. For example, the operation of either of the following will DIRECTLY affect the reactivity and power of the reactor:
a.
Operation of a Reactor Recirculation System scoop tube positioner, b.
Operation of an individual CRD scram switch.
These devices and any others which will D!RECTLY affect the reactivity or power
(]
level of a reactor shall only be operated by a licensed Reactor Operator or Senior V
Reactor Operator.
l 1 oM4 4, R:v. 0 Page 4 of 7 O
Any operator who operates mechanisms and apparatus (e.g. valves, pump controls, circuit breakers, etc.) that may indirectly affect the power level or reactivity of a reactor shall only do so with the knowledge and consent of the Unit Supervisor.
3.
Conduct shift activities in compliance with Regulatory Requirements, Company Requirements, and Company Commitments.
4.
Operate the plant and monitor plant parameters in compliance with controlled procedures /information.
5.
Perform operations as directed by Shift Management or a Licensed Operator on all plant systems.
6.
- Immediately report to Control Room, changes to equipment status for any or all equipment that has the potential to affect the safety or reliability of the plant.
7.
Perform tasks as directed by Shift Management or a Licensed Operator 8.
Respond to alarms and indications.
9.
Maintain logs and records.
10.
Attend shift briefs and pre-job briefings.
11.
Perform or assist in troubleshooting of plant equipment problems.
- 12.
Perform Clearance and Tagging activitios in accordance with Tagging Procedure.
In addition, Non-Licensed Operators may, after informing the Reactor Operator, apply / remove tags on Main Control Room annunciators, fuses and leads and Main Control Room switches. Clearance appliers / removers shall ensure the Reactor i
Operator is informed of the following:
A.
The start and completion of Cicarance application and Clearance removal.
B.
The application or removal of a Clearance step which significantly changes any Main Control Room indication or annunciation.
- 13.
Inspect, maintain, test, and lubricate (if there is an open AWO) assigned equipment.
14.
Perform surveillance and routine tests.
15.
Respond to emergencies as directed by Shift Management or a Licensed Operator.
.__________.___.__-______,um___.
1 oM4 4. R:v. C Pope 6 of 7 16.
Ensure housekeeping / lighting standards are met in all buildings under Operations control.
17.
Assist other job groups in resolving equipment deficiencies.
18.
When draining equipment:
A.
Draining of equipment should be performed in a manner that preserves housekeeping standards.
B.
If establishing an input to a funnel drain or floor drain, throttle the input as necessary to prevent exceeding the capacity of the drain. Monitor the drain, as required, to ensure overflow does not occur.
C.
If using tygon tubing, ensure the tubing is properl/ secured to provent spills.
D.
If contamination concerns exist, contact Health Physics prior to draining.
19.
Non Licensed Operators should ensure that the appropriate Health Physics personnel are notified prior to or when conducting operations which may affect O
radiological conditions in areas accessible to personnel. Notify HP immediately of V
occurrences (e.g., spills, overflows, leaks, etc.) which may significantly affect radiological conditions.
20.
Instrument Valve Operation Instrument valves, to be defined as valves inside of the root valve immediately off of the process line, should be operated by I&C Technicians. Operations willonk operate lastrument valves under the following conditions:
A.
An emergency situation exists.
B.
The manipulation of instrument valves is expressly authorized by Shift Management, t
C.
When directed by an approved procedure.
Instrument valve manipulations must be performed with caution as removing / returning an instrument to service incorrectly may cause inadvertent trips, isolations, or the like. When performing instrument valve manipulations under condition (B) above, the Control Room should be notified immediately prior fN to the manipulation, w)
