13Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI N18.7-1976.</br></br>13" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..5.1.2 Preparation of Procedures Procedures are prepared by the plant staff and support organizations under the direction of department management. Reviews of safety-related procedures use and changes thereto, are performed and approved as described in Section 13.4.
Applicable procedures are periodically reviewed to determine if changes are necessary or desirable. Applicable procedures are reviewed after significant system or equipment modification, and following an unusual incident, such as a hazardous condition, an unexpected transient, a significant operator error, or equipment malfunction where the procedures contributed to the cause of the incident, or where inadequate in mitigating the effects of the incident.
13.5.1.3 Procedures Administrative Procedures establish rules and instructions pertaining to activities such as procedure preparation; plant personnel responsibilities and authorities; plant modification; corrective maintenance and preventive maintenance; safety tagging; temporary changes to approved procedures; review of plant documents; surveillance testing and in-service inspection; equipment control; fire protection; security and visitor control, access to containment; communication system; and temporary procedures of an administrative nature. Administrative Procedures governing shift operations include the reactor operator's authority and responsibility, the senior reactor operator's authority and responsibilities, the logbook usage and control, issuance and updating of special orders and the plans for meeting the requirements of 10CFR50.54(i), (j),
(k), (l) and (m) (Fig. 13.5-2). The general format of Administrative Procedures includes: Title, purpose, references, and procedure sections.
13.5.2 OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The general format of the Operating and Maintenance Procedures complies with ANSI N18.7-1976.
SSES-FSAR Text Rev. 57 FSAR Rev. 69 13.5-2 13.5.2.1 Control Room Operating Procedures The following procedure categories delineate those procedures primarily performed by licensed operators in the control room. Procedural steps which specify immediate operator actions to prevent or mitigate the consequences of a serious condition are committed to memory by licensed operators.
13.5.2.1.1 Operating Procedures The operating procedures include instructions for startup, normal, manual, and automatic modes of operation of each system or subsystem related to the safety of the plant. Detailed check off lists are included where appropriate with each procedure. These lists delineate the proper valve lineup, circuit breaker position, or switch position that is a prerequisite for the addressed mode of operation.
13.5.2.1.2 General Plant Procedures General Plant Procedures provide the necessary instructions for the integrated operations of the plant. Check off lists are used for confirming completion of major steps in the proper sequence.
13.5.2.1.3 Off-Normal Procedures Off-Normal Procedures specify operator actions for restoring an operating variable to its normal controlled value when it departs from its range, or to restore normal operating conditions following a perturbation. Such actions are invoked following an operator observation of an off-normal condition which, if not corrected, could degenerate into a condition requiring action under an Emergency Procedure.
13.5.2.1.4 Emergency Procedures Emergency Procedures identify potential emergency conditions and provide guidance for operations during potential emergencies while allowing sufficient flexibility to accommodate variations. These procedures specify actions, including manipulation of controls, to: (1) avoid further degradation of abnormal conditions which in themselves do not constitute an accident but could lead to an accident or (2) reduce the consequences of an accident or hazardous condition that has occurred and that may require implementation of the Emergency Plan.
13.5.2.1.5 Alarm Response Procedures Alarm Response Procedures are provided to guide operators in their response to control room alarm conditions. These procedures are classified in a manner permitting quick retrieval in response to an alarm condition.
SSES-FSAR Text Rev. 57 FSAR Rev. 69 13.5-3 13.5.2.1.6 Temporary Procedures Temporary Procedures may be issued to direct operations during such activity as testing, refueling, maintenance and modifications; and to provide guidance in unusual situations not within the scope of existing procedures. Temporary procedures are only in effect for the duration of the applicable situation, and require the same review and approval process as other plant procedures as prescribed in Section 13.4.
13.5.2.2 Additional Operating and Maintenance Procedures The following procedure categories delineate those procedures that are primarily performed outside the limits of the control room.
13.5.2.2.1 Chemistry Procedures Chemistry Procedures are implemented to maintain coolant quality and concentrations of harmful agents within prescribed limits. These procedures include chemical and radiochemical analysis, sample collection and equipment instruction.
13.5.2.2.2 Emergency Plan Procedures The Emergency Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation criteria, and actions that are necessary to limit and mitigate the consequences of radiological incidents and unusual events including natural hazards and civil occurrences. The Emergency Plan Procedures are implementing procedures which provide the response which is required to ensure public health and safety.
13.5.2.2.3 Environmental Surveillance Procedures The Environmental Monitoring Procedures provide the measurement and documentation of environmental information of a radiological or nonradiological nature to evaluate the effect on the environment, if any, resulting from the operation of the plant. These procedures will be performed, by the appropriate Group, in accordance with specifications that define the scope of testing and the test frequency.
