MPS2 UFSAR12.5-1Rev. 35 12.5 PLANT PROCEDURESStation procedures are written on a unit and station services leve l controlling the specifics of station operations, including specifications; maintenance and modification; periodic test, inspection, calibration, and special processes, and plant and equipment.

12.5.1 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 12.5.1.1 Conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.33 Regulatory Guide 1.33, issued February 1978, Qua lity Assurance Program Requirements, is used as guidance for the preparation of ad ministrative and station procedures

.12.5.1.2 Preparation of Procedures Preparation, review and ap proval of procedures is as described in the Qu ality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) Topical Report.

12.5.1.3 Procedures Administrative control and stat ion procedures cover a wide ra nge of topics. Major areas are described as follows.

Standing Orders to Operating Personnel Administrative control procedur es define the authorities a nd responsibilities of operating personnel. The procedures specify the number of personnel with reactor operator and senior reactor operator licenses required to be on site or at the contro ls in all plant conditions. The administrative procedures dire ct the proper maintenance, review, and disposition of operating records, establish requirements for shift turnover, and establish the author ity and responsibilities of the person in charge of the c ontrol room to limit access. Procedures also direct the assignment of shift personnel to duty stations, establish limi ts for scheduled worki ng hours, provide methods of timely and concise feedback of operating experience to applicable plant staff, and describe methods used to verify operational activities are performed correctly. Pl ant procedures also provide for shift turnover such that all necessary information is properly transmitted to the oncoming shifts.

Special Orders of a Transien t or Self-Cancelling Character Night orders are issued as ne cessary to provide guidance to operating shifts and are of a temporary nature but will be incorporated into an administ rative control if the need becomes permanent.

MPS2 UFSAR12.5-2Rev. 35 Equipment Control Procedures Instructions are written to sp ecify proper methods of obtaining clearances on plant equipment for maintenance or constructi on and to specify procedures for cont rol of jumpers, inhibits, and wire removal. The clearance procedure assigns responsibility fo r clearance issue to the shift supervisor. A licensed operator, after ensuring he is aware of the effect of the activity on the system, is required to authorize all maintena nce, tests, and surveillances performed on plant systems. Upon completion of the item, the document is returned to the operator for acceptance or for the purpose of returning the system to servi ce. The administrative procedures which control these evolutions provide the required explicit not ification of operational personne l whenever a safety related system is removed from and returned to service. The clearance procedure also contains certain restrictions on the issuance of a clearance. The instructions fo r control of jumpers, inhibits, and wire removal allow temporary al terations to critical structures, systems, or components to facilitate tests, maintenan ce, or operations. They specify administ rative procedures to be followed in performing such alterations.

Control of Maintenance and Modifications Administrative control procedures implement the review and appr oval requirements for maintenance and modifications. These procedures include the cont rol of plant modifications and maintenance on safety-related equipment. These procedures establish a framework of special process and maintenance procedures.

Master Surveillance Testing Schedule An administrative control procedure establishes a master test control list, implements the surveillance test program, and assigns responsib ility for review and a pproval of surveillance procedures in accordance with Technical Specifications. Written surveillance procedures are controlled as station or unit procedures.

Procedures for Logbook Usage and Control An administrative control proc edure establishes the requireme nts for logbook usage and control.Maintenance and Testing of Safety-Related Systems Procedures for maintenance and test ing of safety-related systems specify that prior to the removal of a safety-related system from service, the redundant system is verified operable. For equipment that requires specific surveillance in accordance with Technical Specifications, the surveillance testing is completed prior to re moving the system from service.These procedures are reviewed and improved, if necessary, to ensure operability of safety systems prior to taking credit for the system(s) to satisfy Technical Spec ification requirements.

MPS2 UFSAR12.5-3Rev. 35 Special Procedures Special procedures are prepared as necessary to support infrequent ly performed activities which are not to be included in the permanent list of station proce dures. A special pr ocedure can be written for any type of station procedure (i.e., maintenance, operating). The form of a special procedure is the same as the appl icable type of station procedure. All requirements for review, approval, revisions, and changes are the sa me as for permanent station procedures.

12.5.2 OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Operating and maintenance procedur es are divided into several cat egories which are described in the following subsections. The list of these procedures is contained in the Master Document Index.Operating and maintenance proce dures preparation is the res ponsibility of the appropriate department head. When a proce dure is written, the applicable Department Head/Manager is responsible to forward the pro cedure for review and approval in accordance with the QAPD Topical Report.

Plant operations are performed in accordance with written and approved Station and Department procedures.

Independent position verification of safety-related components/sy stems (valves, breakers, and control switches) with no indication in the cont rol room are performed prior to the return-to-service of the component/system.

12.5.2.1 Control Room Operating Procedures 12.5.2.1.1 General Operating ProceduresThese procedures cover major plant evolutions. Step-by-step instructions are provided for the function or task with the appropriate cross reference to system operating procedures for details of specific system operation. Appropriate pr ecautions and limitations are included.

12.5.2.1.2 System Operating Procedures These procedures provide step-by-step details for syst ems operations with appropriate prerequisites, precautions, limitations, and alarm responses. Ea ch procedure covers the expected modes of operation of the syst em as well as startup, shutdow n, filling and ve nting, and standby operation as applicable.

12.5.2.1.3 Abnormal Operating Procedures Operating procedures are prepar ed for abnormal operation of th e unit. Abnormal operation is a condition that could degrade into an emergency or could violate T echnical Specifications if proper MPS2 UFSAR12.5-4Rev. 35 action were not taken. These pr ocedures identify the sympto ms of the abnormal condition, automatic actions that may occur, and the appropriate immediate and subseque nt operator actions.

12.5.2.1.4 Emergency Operating ProceduresEmergency operating procedures ar e prepared for conditions which might possibly lead to injury of plant personnel or the public if the release of radioactivity in excess of established limits occurs. These procedures include symptoms of the emergency c onditions, automatic actions that may or should occur, and immediate and subse quent operator actions. All immediate actions are required to be memorized by the operator since th e primary responsibility for detection of an emergency and initiation of corrective action rests upon the operator.

12.5.2.2 Station ProceduresStation procedures are written by the chemistry, health physics, security, generati on test, building services, stores, nuclear records, computer operations, station serv ices engineering and any other station group. These procedur es control the specific activities of these departments in support of unit or station operation (may be common site or unit specific). Station calibration procedures written by the maintenance or instrument departments are also station procedures.

12.5.2.2.1 Radiation Protection ProceduresRadiation Protection procedures support Section 13.5 and 10 CFR 20 requirements.

12.5.2.2.2 Instrument Maintenance Instructions Instrument maintenance instructi ons are prepared for the perfor mance of periodic calibration, testing, and channel checking of safety-related pl ant instrumentation and all instruments used to satisfy Te chnical Specification re quirements. These instructions ensure measurement accuracies adequate to maintain plant safety parameters within operational and safety limits. In addition, instrument maintenance instructi ons outline the periodic calibrati on and accuracy requirements of test equipment necessary to support the calibration of safety-related instrumentation.

12.5.2.2.3 Chemistry Procedures Chemistry procedures are prepared covering the routine analysis and sampling methods to ensure compliance with plant chemistry and discharge limits.12.5.2.2.4 Radioactive Waste System Procedures Procedures for operation of radwaste systems are included in system operating procedures.
