VERMONT YANKEE NI CLEAR PO 7ER STATION ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE AP 0894 REVISION 7 STAFFING AND OVERTIME LIMITS USE CLASSIFICATION: INFORMATION L PC Effective Affected Pages No. Date 1 07/31/02 3 of 5; Table 1 Pg 1 of 1 I Implementation Statement: NIA Issue Date: 0512 1/99

Dept. Mgr. Proc. No. AP 0894 PORC Rev. No. 7 Plant Mgr. IssueDate 05/21/99 Review Date 09/05/02 STAFFING AND OVERTIME LIMITS PURPOSE To identify the shift staffing and overtime requirements for all modes of plant operation and set forth the policy by which those requirements shall be satisfied.

The use classification of this procedure is Information Use.

DISCUSSION This procedure sets forth the minimum shift personnel required and contains certain administrative limits on overtime for key personnel.

Except during extended shutdown periods, the use of overtime should be considered on an individual basis and not for the entire staff on shift.

The Shift Supervisor is responsible for ensuring the minimum shift requirements are met on his assigned shift. Under no circumstances shall the Shift Supervisor voluntarily allow staffing to be less than required by Technical Specifications/Technical Requirements Manual and this procedure. Circumstances which are beyond the control of the Shift Supervisor shall require immediate actions to restore the shift complement as soon as possible and to make the notifications required by this procedure. "Circumstances which are beyond the control of the Shift Supervisor" are those which make shift personnel unable to perform their duties; for example, sickness, injury, fitness-for-duty issues.

The Shift Supervisor, or applicable Department Manager is responsible for ensuring the overtime limits are met during all modes of plant operation including refueling outages.

Department Managers of shift personnel are responsible for ensuring that work schedules for their shift personnel are established.

Station personnel are responsible for working assigned shift hours and for adhering to administrative requirements established by this procedure. Additionally, the individual employee is also responsible for tracking his/ her individual work hours and informing supervision if asked to work overtime which exceeds these guidelines.

It is recognized that unusual circumstances may arise requiring deviation from the overtime limits. Such deviations shall be authorized by the Plant Manager or the appropriate Superintendent or Shift Outage Manager. The paramount consideration in such authorization shall be that sigruficant reductions in the effectiveness of key personnel would be highly unlikely.

Plant management recognizes that during the transition from Eastern Daylight Time to Eastern Standard Time personnel on site will work an additional hour that day. This additional hour of work may cause personnel to exceed normal overtime limits, which has been evaluated and approved by Senior Management. Key Personnel are NOT required to initiate the "Justificationfor Excessive Overtime" form for this situation.

a. An operator will be designated the Operator-at-the-controls (OATC) each shift.

He will remain in the OATC/limited time access area (see Figure 1)unless properly relieved by another licensed operator. His primary watch station is the OATC area, and time spent by the OATC in the limited time access area will be of short duration (<5min.).

b. In cases where it is appropriate to relieve individuals of their duties and allow them to leave site, the Shift Supervisor shall ensure that the individuals' replacement is on site before allowing the individual to leave. Should the individual leave site without the Shift Supervisor's authorization, that individual will be held accountable for his/her actions.

c. Key personnel who perform safetv-related functions shall adhere to the following limits (NRC Generic Letter 82-12):

1) An individual should not be permitted to work more than 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> straight (excluding shift turnover time).

1.0 PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND DISCUSSION 1.1. Purpose To provide administrative guidelines for:

1. Removal of power block equipment (also called asset) from operating service to allow the performance of maintenance, surveillance or modification.

2. Return of that equipment to service upon completion of the work activities.

3. Equipment made unavailable for any reason that is required to be logged by the Maintenance Rule Program (Figure 2).

1.2. Scope This procedure applies any time inspections are made or work is performed on any power block equipment. Work on security equipment or work that impacts plant security requires Security Shift Manager approval and is not within the scope of this procedure.

1.3. Discussion NUMARC 93-01 identifies that during the planning and scheduling phase and prior to authorizing the removal of Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) from service, each planned maintenance activity that results in the removal of an SSC which supports a key plant safety function should be assessed for its impact on performance of the key plant safety function.

The assessment should take into account the current plant configuration as well as expected changes to plant configuration and is applicable regardless of plant mode (Le., should be considered during shutdownlrefueling operations as well as when the plant is on-line).

To ensure that Vermont Yankee meets the intent of the NUMARC guidance, VY has established an equipment removal from service methodology. This methodology includes, the development, review and application of a pre-analyzed, risk assessed, integrated work week schedule and the use of the ORAM-Sentinel risk monitor or of an SSC redundancy matrix to provide additional risk insights prior to the authorization for the release of work when the pre-analyzed schedule does not address the configuration of the plant due to schedule changes and/or emergent work. In addition, during the planningkcheduling and performance of work activities where SSCs are removed from service, the overall unavailability of any SSC which could provide a significant contribution to plant risk should be minimized.

The above methodology has been incorporated into the Operating Cycle System Scheduling Guideline, Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO) Maintenance Plan Guideline, Outage Guideline and this procedure. The continued use of the guidance provided within these documents provides the necessary elements to ensure Vermont Yankee's Risk Management Philosophy is achieved.

AP 0125 Rev. 12 Page 3 of 12

There are four different causes for the removal of plant equipment from operational service. These are briefly described as follows:

1. Surveillance - provides verification of the operability and/or the performance characteristics of plant equipment by testing its operation under specified conditions. Each surveillance test is conducted in accordance with an approved plant procedure.

2. Corrective Maintenance - maintenance performed on plant equipment to correct a malfunction or other non-conforming conditions. AP 002 1, AP 0047, AP 0049, AP 0050, AP 0053, and OP 0452 define the administrative control of corrective maintenance.

3. Preventive Maintenance (PMs) - maintenance initiated by a pre-planned program to detect, correct, or test for degraded conditions of plant equipment which could lead to equipment malfunction or failure. PMs may be controlled by the Maintenance or I/C Department's preventive maintenance programs, AP 0200 or AP 03 10 respectively. AP 0021 defines the administrative control of preventive maintenance. Performance of LCO-Maintenance shall be coordinated through the use of the LCO-Maintenance Guideline.

4. Modification - physical changes to plant equipment to improve performance characteristics, reliability, etc. A P s 0020, 0022, 6001, 6004,6008 and OP 0452 define the administrative controls for modifying and testing plant equipment.

An activity in any of the above classifications may or may not be sufficient reason to cause the affected plant equipment to be removed from operating status. However, when conditions are such that the equipment must be made inoperable, it is necessary to take proper precautions to ensure that:

1. The Shift Manager is made fully knowledgeable of the intended work scope (including initial work scope and significant changes) and the start and successful completion of the work activity,

2. The Shift Manager grants his permission to perform the work prior to initiating the work effort by:

NOTE The Shift Manager may find it beneficial to review the work plans using AP 0048 (or AP 0053, as applicable) for guidance to ensure all required critical attributes have been considered.

a. Ensuring that the plant safety or performance capability is not compromised, and, AP 0125 Rev. 12 Page 4 of 12

b. Ensuring that the maintenance or inspection activity can be safely performed under the existing plant operating conditions.

c. Inform the operating crew of the equipment degradation or inoperability as appropriate. Consider performing a pre-job brief per AP 0052 to ensure appropriate compensatory actions are in place and contingency planning is addressed for the duration of the repair effort. (ER950690-01)

3. Upon completion of work activities, the equipment has been returned to normal operating status including assurance of functional operability (testing) and verification of final equipment lineups. Refer to VYAPF 0155.02 for a list of systems requiring independent verification.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the Procedure Scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is a managerial and an administrative monitoring process, subject to 10CFR5O Appendix B, that does not alter the design, performance requirements, operation, or control of systems, structures, or components (SSCs) and all changes are reviewed by QA prior to implementation.

2.0 DEFINITIONS 2.1. Non-Power Block Equipment - Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) which are within or support the equipment listed in Appendix K of AP 0021 as long as that equipment is less than or equal to 440 volts &e., no 480 volt).

APPENDIX B CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO REMOVE POWER BLOCK NON-TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED EQUIPMENT FROM SERVICE Equipment may be removed from service for the performance of corrective or preventive maintenance provided the following actions are performed:

A. Prior to Removal of Equipment from Service

1. A planned evolution, which will remove from service or otherwise make inoperable any power supply (i.e., bus, MCC, or power distribution panel or lighting panel), must have a De-energization Plan written. The Operations Control Center prepares and presents it to the Shift Manager for implementation. (LER9512-02 and ER96- 1131)

NOTE An approved Operations Procedure may be Substituted for a De-energization Plan provided all the attributes are addressed in the procedure. If the procedure is adequate, then no additional actions in this section are required.

a. Operations Control Center prepares the De-energization Plan with the following attributes:

A step by step sequence for accomplishing the de-energization. A reference to a procedure section, which accomplishes the de-energization, is allowed.

Identification of loads which are impacted by the de-energization of the power supply. This can be in the form of a drawing that identifies the loads.

Any unusual or abnormal indications and plant responses anticipated as a result of the de-energization process.

d. Conditions external to the plant such as adverse weather or offsite electrical power supply maintenance activities or casualties.

e. Interaction other ongoing tests or maintenance activities.

Appendix B AP 0125 Rev. 12 Page 2 of 4

APPENDIX B (Continued)

NOTE Use of ORAM-Sentinel per AP 0172 (Online) or AP 0173 (Outages) provides additional guidance for this evaluation. If ORAM-Sentinel is unavailable, the SSC Redundancy Matrix (Figure 1) provides additional guidance for this evaluation during power operations. Configurations which remove from service or degrade those systedequipment combinations identified on the Matrix with a Black Box or an "X" should be avoided.

f. The Shift Manager will ensure that the out of service time for those SSCs identified in Figure 2 are minimized to the extent practical during any tagging, work, and return to service activities.

3. Shift Manager reviews the following prior to removal of equipment from service:

(INS90 1OOP4 and LER950 1S 1-03).

a. The Administrative Limits of the applicable operating procedures.

b. Determine if any alternate testing is required or desirable.

c. If alternate testing is not required or desired, consider how alternate equipment operability will be ensured. For example:

1) Verification of control board lineup

2) Verification of other Technical Specification operability

3) Verification of alternate testing completed on surveillance schedule.

4) Visual check of alternate systems

4. When releasing plant equipment for various activities, the Shift Manager shall determine if the activity constitutes an infrequently performed test or evolution (IPTE) and recommend, to the Operations Manager, that additional controls, be implemented as required per AP 6100.

During backshift, the Shift Manager may contact the primary DCO to recommend that a Management Designee be appointed to oversee the balance of the evolution (SOER9 101OP 1).

PURPOSE To specify emergency worker dose guidelines, including emergency center habitability, and the methods to administer emergency personnel dosimetry and related record keeping.

DISCUSSION During a plant emergency, abnormally high levels of radiation and/or radioactivity may be encountered. These levels may range from slightly above those experienced during normal plant operation to life-endangering levels of several hundred Rem in a short period of time (e.g.,

spent fuel cask accident, loss of coolant accident or a spent fuel pool immersion). Under all emergency situations care should be taken to minimize personnel exposures from external and/or internal sources of radiation.

If tasks are being conducted within areas that show no significant increase in general area dose rates from normal plant radiological conditions and dose commitment to any individual of less than 1 rem is required, then the normal work process will be used to control radiation exposure of personnel. If tasks are being conducted within areas that show a significant increase in general area dose rates from normal plant radiological conditions or an individual dose commitment of 1 rem or greater is required, then the emergency dose control process will be used to control radiation exposure of personnel. (EPEX93RP 1)

Specific exposure guidelines for entry or re-entry into plant areas under emergency conditions are defined in Appendix A. Initially, the Shift SupervisorPlant Emergency Director (until relieved by the TSC Coordinator) shall authorize emergency dose guidelines consistent with these depending on the emergency. Exposure to individuals providing emergency functions will be consistent with the limits specified in Appendix A with every attempt being made to keep exposures below these limits in accordance with the principles of ALARA. The Radiation Protection staff personnel will assist with the coordination of emergency dose commitments as needed.

The Radiation Protection (RP) Manager, is responsible for developing emergency radiological protection programs for plant staff support personnel. Emergency Kits are provided with self-reading dosimeters. Each member reporting to the site will be provided a TLD badge.

Dose records will be maintained at each center based upon the results of either Electronic Alarming Dosimeters or self-reading dosimeters. This information will be cross-referenced with TLD badge data, as soon as they can be processed by a qualified TLD processing facility.

Guideline action levels for continuous habitability of all emergency centers are presented in Appendices A and B.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the scope of the procedure or program is not revised to include a different type of activity. The basis for this conclusion is that document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFRSO Appendix E.

a. Declared pregnant women will not be allowed to participate.

b. The use of volunteers for exposures during emergency actions is desirable. Older workers with low lifetime accumulated effective dose should be given priority.

C. The individual's awareness of the biological consequences that such an exposure can have, including the risks associated with exposure of a developing embryo/fetus for female workers.

d. All practical protective measures to limit such an exposure.

e. Concurrence of individual(s) involved (i.e., voluntary risk acceptance).

f. The probability of success should be balanced against the expected exposure limit.

g. The individual's familiarity with the task and speed with which the individual can conduct the task.

2. After the emergency has been concluded, doses received by emergency workers are required to be accounted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20 occupational dose limits.

3. Emergency dose limits for the lens of the eye and for any organ (including skin and extremities) are three and ten times the listed values, respectively.

PURPOSE To specify the criteria that is utilized for making a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to the appropriate Emergency Planning Zone States.

DISCUSSION Responsibilities:

1. Shift Supervisor/Plant Emergency Director (SSPED):

Authorizes the initial Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities until relieved by the TSC Coordinator or Site Recovery Manager.

2. Technical Support Center (TSC) Coordinator:

Authorizes Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities until relieved by the Site Recovery Manager.

3. EOF Coordinator/RadiologicalAssistant:

Evaluates radiological data used to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation and provides recommendation to the Site Recovery Manager at the EOF/RC.

4. Site Recovery Manager (SRM):

The cognizant individual with the overall responsibility and authority to provide the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities.

The decision making process to determine the Protective Action Recommendation for the plume exposure emergency planning zone is based on two criteria. The criteria include the consideration of plant conditions at the General Emergency classification, and projected and measured radiological doses in the environment.

For a Protective Action Recommendation based on plant conditions at the General Emergency classification, information is obtained on in-core fuel conditions, fission product inventory in containment, containment integrity, and release conditions. This information is then utilized to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation (i.e., shelter or evacuation) based upon the guidance contained in Figure 1.

For a Protective Action Recommendation based on release of radioactivity, the appropriate information concerning projected and measured dose rates in the environment is utilized. Determination of the population at risk is based upon meteorological data (wind speed, wind direction, and stability class). The exposure time is based upon available information such as plant conditions or type of accident. In the event that this cannot be readily approximated, a default release duration estimate is utilized. The projected and measured dose is calculated from this information.

OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 3 of 10

The projected or measured dose is then utilized to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation based upon Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance.

In accordance with A p 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is a managerial and an administrative monitoring process, subject to 10CFR50 Appendix B, that does not alter the design, performance requirements, operation, or control of Systems, Structures, or Components (SSCs).

1. Emphasize to States' representatives that no compensation in the recommendation is made for the time to implement and complete protective actions.

2. An immediate Protective Action Recommendation based on General Emergency classification level must be implemented as delineated in Section I of this procedure.

3, A Protective Action Recommendation is reviewed against protective action actually implemented prior to re-issuing an updated recommendation.

4. If possible and if time permits, confer with the appropriate State and Federal authorities to ensure that questions on protective actions to be applied are answered prior to formal recommendation.

OP 351 1 Rev. 12 Page 5 of 10

PROCEDURE NOTES e If a Protective Action Recommendation (shelter or evacuation) is warranted, ensure that a General Emergency has been declared, consistent with AP 3 125.

e A Protective Action Recommendation is approved by the senior manager in charge of emergency activities at the time the recommendation is made. This person reviews and approves the recommendation, then transmits it to the states.

e Section I or 11may be performed out of sequence and independent of each other.

I. Protective Action Recommendation Based on Plant Conditions A. Immediate actions by the senior manager in charge or designated alternate (General Emergency Declared)

NOTES e Initial notification of the General Emergency based on plant conditions, with determined Protective Action Recommendation, must be initiated to state authorities within 15 minutes.

0 A Protective Action Recommendation becomes valid and the 15-minute clock begins when the senior manager in charge of emergency activities at the time the recommendation is made approves and signs VYOPF 35 11.01.

e Initial notification of the General Emergency based on plant conditions, with determined Protective Action Recommendation, should not be delayed due to performing dose projections or awaiting their results.

e Two individuals should be assigned to formulate the PAR independently to ensure accuracy.

1. Use Figure 1 and Table 3 (ER2000-1363) to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) based on plant conditions.

a. If the actual or potential release pathway is a stack release, use the upper wind direction.

b. If the actual or potential release pathway is a ground release, use the lower wind direction.

OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 6 of 10

c. If the actual or potential release pathway is a multiple release (stack and ground), use both the upper and lower wind direction.

2. If available, a second individual should independently verify the PAR. The verification may be performed by the individual who is approving the PAR (PED, TSC Coordinator, or Site Recovery Manager).

NOTE Any prior protective action recommendations that are still in effect shall be included with updated information and documentation (VYOPF 3511.01).

3. Record appropriate PAR information in Section I of VYOPF 35 11.01.

4. Review PAR with the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge to obtain approval.

5. Transmit approved PAR to State authorities as delineated in OP 3540 (PED or TSC Coord.) (use VYOPF 3540.06) or OP 3546 (Site Recovery Manager) (use VYOPF 3546.02).

6. Forward completed VYOPF 35 11.01 to the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge.

B. Subsequent Actions

1. Continue to obtain updated information on plant conditions.

2. If significant changes occur with plant or meteorological conditions, repeat steps in Section I.A. to re-evaluate Protective Action Recommendation.

PURPOSE To provide Operations Department personnel with the instructions necessary to prepare the plant for, and to achieve; 1) plant startup from all rods inserted to normal full power operations, 2) plant shutdown from normal full power operations to all rods inserted with reactor coolant temperature <212"F, 3) Reactor heatup with MSIVs closed, 4) plant shutdown without the startup transformers, 5 ) hot standby behind the MSIVs, and 6) Insequence Critical testing.

DISCUSSION Each order to commence a reactor startup from any shutdown condition is issued by the General Manager, Plant Operations or his designated alternate. The Shift Manager, upon receipt of such orders, schedules the startup of various components and systems to meet the startup and load schedules, and issues these orders to the Control Room Supervisor.

It is the intent of this procedure to outline the many steps required to achieve a safe reactor startup, plant startup, maneuvering at power, plant shutdown, reactor shutdown, and shutdown operations. The sequence of steps phase to phase, or section to section specified may be altered and/or performed concurrently at the discretion of the Shift Manager and the Control Room Supervisor to suit existing plant conditions. A variance is a step that is omitted, or, if going from one phase to another without all the steps of the previous phase being completed.

Any variance shall be documented on the Variance form and approved by the Shift Manager and the CRS on VYOPF 0105.09.

Instructions are also provided for:

Appendix "A", Reactor Heatup with MSIVs Closed Appendix I I B I I , Plant Shutdown Without the Startup Transformers.

Appendix "C", Hot Standby Behind the MSIVs.

Appendix "D", In-sequence Critical Procedure.

Appendix "E", Startup Event Line Appendix 'IF", Shutdown Event Line VYOPF 0105.09, Procedure Variance Form.

Following Plant Shutdowns after long operating cycles, or Startups after extended or refueling outages, the potential exists for significant conditions to exist which could jeopardize plant safety margins. These evolutions may be designated as Infrequently Performed Test or Evolutions (IPTEs) and a Management Designee assigned by the General Manager, Plant Operations to provide line management authority and be responsible for the safe conduct of the evolution. Further details for conducting IPTEs and responsibilities of the Management Designee are addressed by AP 6100. (SOER91010Pl)

OP 0105 Rev. 10 Page 3 of 137

Event Lines outlining the major evolutions required to startup and shutdown the reactor have been developed (Appendix E and F). The Event Lines do not provide procedural guidance, OP 0105, Reactor Operations procedure does. The Event Lines were not developed to be used as a procedure in the way the EOP flowcharts are utilized. On Startup and Shutdown Event Lines, as the evolutions are completed, the boxes are checked off. The Event Lines will be used during the turnover process as an outline. Thus Event Lines provide an overview for both plant and shift management of the major evolutions required to startup and shutdown the plant. Certain evolutions not performed by the Operations Department are included on the Event Lines for information only. These evolutions are in brackets and include both surveillance and maintenance activities.

RTP means Rated Thermal Power, 1593 MWT, as defined by Tech Specs.

1. With reactor power below 20%, the RWM is required to be operable. However, it may be bypassed if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

a. Notification of the Superintendent, Reactor Engineering.

b. Authorization obtained from the Operations Manager or General Manager, Plant Operations.

C. At least 12 control rods are withdrawn.

d. A second licensed operator is monitoring and documenting further rod motion.

e. The rod select template is in place.

2. If the air lock is opened during periods when primary containment intepty is not required, the air lock must be leak-rate tested at the end of the period prior to primary containment integrity being required.

3. If the air lock is opened when primary containment integrity is required, the airlock must be leak-rate tested within 5 days from the time the outer airlock door is opened. If the airlock is opened more frequently than once every 5 days, then the airlock must be closed and leak-rate tested at least once every 5 days. (Tech. Spec. requires testing within 7 days per PP 7006.)

4. If the reactor startup or in-sequence critical is the first following a refueling outage AND will be used by Reactor Engineering (RE) to perform a shutdown margin calculation, the moderator temperature must be less than 210°F (OP 4430).

5. With the reactor pressure vessel head not installed:

a. The Control Room shall notify the CRS, or in his absence, the RP Technician on the refuel floor of any intended rod motion.

b. If core verification has not been completed or if performing the strongest control rod withdrawal subcritical check, then all personnel shall be out of line of sight of the open vessel when withdrawing a control rod from a cell with fuel installed.

c. All personnel shall be clear of the refuel floor when two (2) or more control rods are withdrawn from cells with fuel installed.

Phase 1 OP 0105 Rev. IO Page 10 of 137

6. When opening a manual containment isolation valve that is within the primary containment boundary as defined by PP 7006, Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Program, when primary containment integrity is required, either enter the TS LCO (TS 3.7.A.8) or apply all of the following administrative controls:

0 Station a dedicated operator with no concurrent duties in the immediate vicinity of the valve controls to rapidly close the valve when directed by the control room.

e Establish communication with the control room that is immediately available using either Gaitronics, sound powered phones, radios, telephones or other means.

These administrative controls will ensure the manual containment isolation valve can be rapidly closed when primary containment isolation is required during accident conditions (NVY99004-02).

7. The following temperature indications may be used when identifying the area to the right of the curves on Tech. Spec. Figures 3.6.2 and 3.6.3:

0 For Bottom Fluid Temperature utilize Vessel Bottom Head Drain Temp on the PLC 2-166, WV/SVRV screen on CRP 9-21 or ERFIS pt. S026.

0 For Bottom Head Surface Temperature utilize Vessel Bottom Head on the PLC 2-166, RPV/SV/RV screen on CRP 9-21 or ERFIS pt. S028.

0 For Downcomer Region Fluid Temperature:

0 If recirculation loop(s) is in operation utilize Recirc Loop Temp on TR-2-165 C W 9-4 or 0 If RCU is in service utilize RWCU Inlet Temperature (B023) or 0 If RCU is in service and RWCU inlet temperature is not available, utilize Vessel Bottom Drain Temp on the PLC 2-166, RPV/SV/RV screen on CRP 9-21 or ERFIS pt. S026.

0 For Flange Region Outside Surface Temperature utilize Rx Vessel Temp Flange on TR-2-3-90 on CRP 9-4 or Vessel Head Flange Temperature on the PLC 2-166 RPV/SV/RV screen on C W 9-21 or ERFIS pt. S024.

8. The following pressure indications may be used when identifying the area to the right of the curves on Tech. Spec. Figures 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.

0 Reactor Pressure-Widemarrow Range on PR-6-96 on CRP 9-5 0 Reactor Pressure (B025) 0 Reactor Pressure 56B on LWPR-2-3-68B on CRP 9-3 (B048) 0 Reactor Pressure 56A on LWPR-2-3-68A on C W 9-4 (B049)

9. To prevent cold water stratification in the reactor vessel bottom head and the resultant thermal shock, neither core flow nor reactor power should be increased if the difference between the bottom vessel drain and steam dome saturation temperature is greater than 145°F. Refer to OP 21 10 if this condition develops.

Phase 1 OP 0105 Rev. IO Page 11 of 137

10. During the approach to critical, the potential for unexpectedly high notch worths exists.

These high notch worths could result in short reactor periods and subsequent reactor scrams. The use of notch override magnifies this problem and its use shall be avoided when the SRMs have reached a fourth doubling. The use of notch override may not be resumed until the reactor reaches the point of adding heat. Anticipated high worth notches have been noted on the sequence by Reactor Engineering and single notch withdrawal is recommended where noted. However, high worth notches are not necessarily limited to those noted on the sequence, so judgment and caution must be exercised when applying notch override and while approaching critical. (SEN 185)

11. Potential increased sampling frequency must be evaluated by the Chemistry Department following each shutdown, startup or power level change exceeding 25% of rated thermal power in one hour (ODCM Table 4.3.1).

12. Avoid activities that can distract Control Room personnel involved with the reactor startup (e.g., shift turnover and surveillance testing) during the approach to criticality.

(SOER 8802)

PREREQUISITES

1. A nuclear instrument response test will be initiated when a control rod is withdrawn following each refueling outage or after maintenance (refer to OP 41 11).

2. If operating with normal system configuration (both recirc loops and RWCU running),

the RWCU inlet temperature and both recirculation loop temperatures are expected to be equal; therefore, using any of these three indications is acceptable to meet the requirements of Tech. Spec. 3.6.A.1 and 3.6.A.2.

3. Chemistry limits for reactor water, feedwater, condensate and control rod drive system will be within the applicable guidelines of OP 4612.

4. If startup follows a scram or a refueling outage, ensure that scram response times meet the requirements of T.S. Section 3.3.

5. If this reactor startup is the first following a refbeling outage or other extended outage, a Management Designee, should be assigned by the General Manager, Plant Operations to be responsible for providing overall senior line management authority for the safe conduct of the startup as an Infrequently Performed Test or Evolution (IPTE) detailed in AP 6100. The Management Designee duties and responsibilities shall include the following in addition to those detailed specifically in A p 6 100 (SOER9101OP 1):

a. Briefing operating crew(s) and test personnel on management's expectations.

b. Establishing the appropriate level of oversight required for the activity.

c. Maintaining awareness of mid-evolution changes, problems, or other off-normal unexpected conditions.

Phase 1 OP 0105 Rev. 10 Page 12 of 137

d. Ensuring proper operational staffing is maintained and organizational responsibilities are clear.

e. Ensuring sufficient training of operating crew(s) and test personnel is provided.

6. If this is a restart following any natural phenomena which causes the plant to shutdown, request Vermont Yankee Emergency Planning personnel to confirm that offsite emergency preparedness infrastructure can support the reactor restart.

(ADMINLETTER9703)

7. Reactor and Generator Systems Heatup to Low Power Prerequisites (VYOPF 0105.04) must be completed prior to plant pressurization.

Phase 1 OP 0105 Rev. 10 Page 13 of 137

13. Start the idle recirc pump(s) per OP 21 10 if applicable.

• NOTE Multiple rod blocks are indicative of RWM hardware/software failure.

14. Monitor the RWM for multiple rod blocks. *

15. Perform RMCS "Emergency In" Functional Test as follows: *

a. Select and pull a control rod in Group 1 to position 48.

b. Perform a coupling check per the following:

NOTE If the 48 disappears, the rod display window goes dark and the rod drift and over-travel alarms are received. the control rod is uncouded.

1) Attempt to pull the rod beyond position 48 by going to NOTCH OVERRIDE and ROD OUT for 3 to 5 seconds.

- NOTES The quantities listed in this procedure are to be considered the minimum required. Quantities above those listed are acceptable.

e Pens, pencils and scratch paper are readily available and therefore will not be maintained in the EOF and TSC kits.

Preventive maintenance and testing of the Public Notification System (PNS) utilized within the Vermont Yankee Emergency Planning Zone is conducted by Northeast Mountain Radio of Rutland, VT, as follows:

1. Monthly preventive maintenance on 2 1 sirens and 10 generators.

2. Annual siren receiver sensitivity and full decoder tests.

3. Preparation of annual maintenance testing program summary report.

Per Surveillance Test No. 4000, the power fail phone system in Vernon and Brattleboro is tested on a semi-annual basis.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes, provided the scope of the procedure or program is not revised to include a different type of activity. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47@) and the requirements of 10CFRSO Appendix E.
