These procedures are written using the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, with alternatives as shown in the Nuclear Quality Assurance Program. Figure 13.5-1 shows the organizational structure of these various instructions. Plant operations and other work activities are performed in accordance with these written and approved procedures. Administrative restrictions and requirements are established to ensure safe operation of the plant within the limits set by the facility licenses and adherence to Technical Specifications. They provide that plant activities are conducted in a manner which protects the general public, plant personnel, and plant equipment.
13.5.1.2  Preparation of ProceduresSite procedures are prepared by the appropriate section supervisors or other knowledgeable staff personnel. They are issued only after review in accordance with the Plant Operations Review Committee Charter and approval of the appropriate responsible manager. Figure 13.5-1 shows the organizational structure of these various procedures.It is the appropriate responsible manager's responsibility to ensure that required reviews and approvals are completed before authorizing the use of any site procedure.In addition to planned changes in the plant and its procedures, accidental or gradual changes in plant equipment, characteristics, or conditions can occur. Each supervisor and employee has the responsibility to be continually alert for such changes and to initiate procedure changes which may then be required. The periodic inspection of plant equipment and the continuing review and analysis of operating data from plant logs, instruments, and tests provide regular sources of information on plant conditions.Temporary instructions are generated when conditions exist such that normal operation or normal administrative control cannot be followed. They are canceled or assigned expiration dates based on when the situation is returned to normal and are periodically reviewed. The administrative procedure system prescribes the methods whereby site procedures can be temporarily changed without delay when the need arises. Temporarily approved changes to procedures may be made provided: (a)The intent of the existing procedure is not altered;(b)The change is approved by two members of the plant management staff, at least one of whom holds a Senior Reactor Operator license on the unit affected; and

13.5-2SITE PROCEDURES WATTS BARWBNP-114 (c)The change is documented and reviewed by PORC and approved by the Plant Manager or his designee in accordance with approved administrative procedures within 14 days of implementation.
13.5.1.3  Administrative ProceduresAdministrative procedures address basic programs and organizational interfaces. They are used to define the authority and responsibility of the reactor operators and senior reactor operators for the general conduct of operation and the programs necessary to support activities affecting safety.The administrative procedures that prescribe the general conduct of operation satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(i-m) and ensure the proper manipulation of controls by licensed reactor operators or senior reactor operators. These procedures also provide for assignment of the duties and responsibilities of shift personnel, shift relief and turnover, limitations on working hours, independent verification of the correct performance of operating activities, feedback of operating experience, plant housekeeping, communications techniques, and control room access. Figure 13.5-2 provides the layout of control boards within the Main Control Room to which access is controlled, and it shows typical operator surveillance areas. Other administrative procedures are used for material control and address the procurement, receipt, storage, and traceability of material through its installation in the plant.Administrative procedures are also used to ensure that measuring and test equipment is properly controlled and that the periodic calibrations and adjustments necessary to maintain accuracy within required limits are performed.Administrative procedures address the detailed test schedules and records to be maintained to assure that all surveillance requirements are conducted in a timely manner and the results are properly documented.13.5.2  Operating and Maintenance Procedures 13.5.2.1  Operating ProceduresTable 13.5-1 lists typical operating procedures.13.5.2.1.1  General Operating InstructionsGeneral Operating Instructions are used for integrated plant operations such as plant startup, plant shutdown, etc. These procedures are required to ensure safety and reliability for complex activities that affect many different systems.

These procedures are written using the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, with alternatives as shown in the Nuclear Quality Assurance Program. Figure 13.5-1 shows the organizational structure of these various instructions. Plant operations and other work activities are performed in accordance with these written and approved procedures. Administrative restrictions and requirements are established to ensure safe operation of the plant within the limits set by the facility licenses and adherence to Technical Specifications. They provide that plant activities are conducted in a manner which protects the general public, plant personnel, and plant equipment.
13.5.1.2  Preparation of ProceduresSite procedures are prepared by the appropriate section supervisors or other knowledgeable staff personnel. They are issued only after review in accordance with the Plant Operations Review Committee Charter and approval of the appropriate responsible manager. Figure 13.5-1 shows the organizational structure of these various procedures.It is the appropriate responsible manager's responsibility to ensure that required reviews and approvals are completed before authorizing the use of any site procedure.In addition to planned changes in the plant and its procedures, accidental or gradual changes in plant equipment, characteristics, or conditions can occur. Each supervisor and employee has the responsibility to be continually alert for such changes and to initiate procedure changes which may then be required. The periodic inspection of plant equipment and the continuing review and analysis of operating data from plant logs, instruments, and tests provide regular sources of information on plant conditions.Temporary instructions are generated when conditions exist such that normal operation or normal administrative control cannot be followed. They are canceled or assigned expiration dates based on when the situation is returned to normal and are periodically reviewed. The administrative procedure system prescribes the methods whereby site procedures can be temporarily changed without delay when the need arises. Temporarily approved changes to procedures may be made provided: (a)The intent of the existing procedure is not altered;(b)The change is approved by two members of the plant management staff, at least one of whom holds a Senior Reactor Operator license on the unit affected; and
