j, SOUND POWERjD_Pp]NES Alabama Power Company surveyed sources of sound powered phone equipment. ' No systems were identified which provided any significant benefits over the system currently installed at Farley Nuclur Plant. Based on the equipment survey and a review of the maintenance history for the communications system, the current sound powered phone system is adequate. Consequently, Farlep Nuciter Plant will
]
continue to utilize the current system.
LIGKE NG Due to conflicts between the NUTAC and NUREG-0700 guidelines concerning required lighting levels, Alabama Power Comparty developed a lighting standard for Farley fluclear Pl ant. The plant-specific lighting studard usy developed following the 111uminating Engineering Society -(IES) cf North Aanerice recr.nnendations contained in the IES Handbook. Following its development, in? lighting standard was reviewed by Dr. M. E. Maddox of Search Technology, Inc.
Subsequent to the development of We'st.indard and followleg corrective maintenance in the control 'com, a seccnd lighting survey als conducted. The sevey indicated that nonnal and emergency lighting levels in the Farley Nuclear Niy, Control Room are adequate.

RECORDING DEVICES A detailed review of the currently installed recorders has been conducted by engineering support personnel.
The review included a survey of the control room and operator' interviews. The review was conducted following guidelines.
developed with the support of Dr. M. E. Maddox of' Search Technology, Inc., the human factors specialist for the CRDR. Concurrently, twenty-one recorder manufacturers were requested to provide infonnation on their strip-chart recorders. Engineering' support personnel are currently reviewing that information.
Following the review of available recorders, Farley Nuclear Plant operators and maintenance technicians will be provided an opportunity to observe.
the operation of selected recorders.
Based on the observed operation and the Farley Nuclear Plant Staff comments, a determination will be made as to whether installed recorders should be replaced.
Goal 06-01 Farley Nuclear Plant Staff complete review of a.*ailable recorders.
08-01 Comparison of existing recorders versus available recorders completed.
09-01 Desired changes forwarded to designers for development of l
resolutions.
~
02-01 Design changes ready for implementation.

V DESIGN CONVENTIONS Design conventions were developed in order to naintain the level of human f actors engineering incorporated into the Farley Nuclear Plant Control Room.
These conventions were developed based on NUTAC requirements, NUREG-0700 guidelines, CRDR Control Room survey results, discussions with the Farley Nuclear Plant Staf f, and discussions with Dr. M. E. Maddox, the human factors specialist for the CRDR. The design conventions were provided to the designers on July 1,1987 for guidance in developing design changes which affect the main control na t a.
PROCEDURE MODIFICATIONS Most of the procedure changes necessary to resolve discrepancies identified in the CRDR Summary Report have been completed. Due to the manpower associated with extensive environmental qualification investigations and upgrades as well as additional outages for both Unit 1 and Unit 2, procedure changes associated with HED 207 have not been completed.
It is expected that procedure changes required to resolve HED 207 will be completed by July 29., 1988 l
