==7.0 PROCEDURE== | |||
7.1 Technical Guideline Development Generic technical guidelines for Emergency Operating Pro-7.1.1 cedures have been developed by the BWR Owner's Group for General Electric boiling water reactors. These guidelines | |||
~ | |||
are generic to GE-BWR 1 through 6 designs in that they add- ,m j ress all major systems which may be used to respond to emer-gencies. FitzPatrick, as any other 8WR, does not have all J | |||
of these systems. The guidelines are applied to this plant by deleting steps, systems, and equipment not applicable, , | |||
identifying and adding instructions for systems and equip-ment unique to FitzPatrick, or substituting statements that are equivalent. In the generic guidelines, brackets 1. j enclose plant specific setpoints, desicp limits, pump shut- \ | |||
off pressures, etc., and parentheses within the brackets l indicate the source of the bracketed variable. The generic guidelines contain, as an appendix, calculational procedures | |||
; for deriving values of the more complex of the bracketed plant-specific verisbles. | |||
7.1.2 The generic guidelines shall be developed and reviewe'd by the GE-BWR Owner's Group prior to use in the development of FitzPatt.ick Emergency Operating Procedures. | |||
7.1.3 A plant specific technical guideline shall be prepared from the generic guidelines through the process of deletion and substitution of statements and the substitution of plant specific variables. The person preparing the technical guideline signs the cover sheet. | |||
i 7.1.4 The plant specific technical guideline is then subjected to - | |||
4 an independent review. Using Appendix C, E0P/EPG Verifica-tion Checklist, Technical Review Section, the reviewer performs a step by step check to assure the technical ac- h Rev. No. A Date 05/16/84 Page 4 of 59 | |||

curacy of the guideline. Discrepancies found during the review are documented in the final section of the checklist. | |||
The checklist is returned to tne writer for resolution of problems. The resolution la also documented in the final | |||
! section of the checklist. The reviewer signs the cover sheet of the technical guidelines. | |||
! 7.1.5 The Operations Superintendent a oves the plant specific | |||
' technical guidelines for use in writing the Emergency Opers- | |||
~ ting Procedures. | |||
7.1.6 Plant Speciric Technical guidelines shall be controlled i | |||
under the Quality Assurance Program. | |||
7.2 Emergency Operating Procedure Development The Emergency Operating Procedure writer translates the plant specific technical guidelines into a series at action steps. These steps accomplish the objectives of the technical guideline and are written in a form to optimize the operator's performance. The FitzPatrick l . | |||
Writers Guide for Emergency Operating Procedures, Appendix A, is used | |||
; p throughout this development process. This assures the procedural | |||
; A s steps are presented in a clear, definitive manner that adheres to I human factors principles for written material presentation. | |||
7.3 Emergency Operating Procedure Verification l | |||
7.3.1 Verification is performed to evaluate the written correct-ness and technical accuracy of the E0Ps. Persons perform- ' | |||
ing the verification conduct a step by step review of the E0Ps using as guidelines, Appendix B, E0P Verification Checklist, Administrative Review Section, and Appendix C, E0P/EPG Verification Checklist, Technical Review Section. | |||
This review determines how well the procedures follow the E0P Writers Guide and FitzPetrick Technical Guideline. Dis. | |||
- crepancies found during the review are documented in the final section of sach checklist. These are returned to the E0P writer, for resolution. The resolution is documented in the final section of the checklist. | |||
7.3.2 The person preparing the draft E0P prepares a Procedure I Initiation / Revision Request Form in accordance with Adminis-trative Procedure 1.4, Control of Plant Procedures. The person or persons performing the verification review should sign or be referenced in the procedure initiation review form in the " Reviewed By" section. The name should also be labeled " Verifier". , | |||

* PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 7.4 Emergency Operating Procedure Validation Validation is performed to evaluate the usability and operational correctness of E0Ps. The validation process consists of the following elements: | |||
7.4.1 Selection of transients to be used in the validation pro-cess. | |||
'7.4.1.1 The Operations Superintendent or designated alter-nate determines the scenarios that will best eval-uste the effectiveness of the draft E0Ps. This determination is generally made considering the relative probability of occurrence and industry experience. Examples of possible scenarios in-clude SBA, SBA with HPCI failure, DBA LOCA, etc. | |||
l 7.4.2 Determination of the method of validation: | |||
7.4.2.1 Validation may be performed using control room walk-through, " table-top", or simulator envirome nts. In general a combination of the three ' | |||
,} | |||
methods provides the broadest evaluation of a %- | |||
draft E0Ps acceptability. The control room walk-through allows evaluation of operator performance | |||
) in the setting that the procedures must be capable of being performed. The availability of indica-tion, work space design, and the placement of controls are easily evaluated relative to the operator actions specified in the E0P. The walk-through method, however, is contrived and provides little time-dependent information concerning the response of the plant to operator action. The simulator provides insight into this interaction of the plant and the operators to the extent that computer modeling is able to simulate actual reactor performance. , | |||
"'The " table-top" validation method allows personnel to explain and/or discuss E0P decision and action steps in response to a proposed scenario or as a part of an actual industry operating experience review. This method is also limited as far as time-dependent responses re concerned, but still provides a forum for procedure evaluation when access to the control room is restricted. | |||

, 7.4.3 Performance of the validation 7.4.3.1 Walk-throu @s usually are cor. ducted in advance of simulator sessions to polish the procedure. They are conducted with a team of individuals consis-ting of an observer and one or more operators. | |||
j The observer describes plant conditions and their changes as the operator (s) take action to stab-ilize the transient described in the scenario. As | |||
~ | |||
the operator (s) describe their actions the ob-l server using Appendix D, E0P Validation Checklist, , | |||
evaluates the E0Ps usefulness and operational l I correctness. | |||
7.4.3.2 Simulator sessions are conducted using a normal i | |||
crew of operators plus one or more observers. | |||
j Ageln the observer sets up plant conditions con-sistent with the prescribed scenarios and evalua-i i tes the E0P as the operators use it to stabilize | |||
! and mitigste the transient. Appendix D, E0P , | |||
i Validation Checklist is used to guide and document the evaluation. | |||
i C 7.4.3.3 " Table-top" validation sessions are conducted | |||
! using a normal crew of operators plus one or more observers. Staff licenses or plant engineers may - | |||
t j take part to ensure a thorough assessment is per- | |||
) | |||
formed. The evaluation takes place at a location j external to the plant and control room (e.g. | |||
l Training Facility). As before, the observer (s) l presents a scenario or an incident similar to one experienced in the industry. The assembled crew utilizes the E0Ps to stabilize and mitigate the l | |||
; transient. Appendix D, E0P Validation Checklist is used to guide and document the evaluation. | |||
f 7.4.4 Resolution of Comments | |||
! 7.4.4.1 '~ Comments made during the validation process are to be addressed. The resolution is documented in the E0P Validation Checklist. | |||
t i 7.5 PORC Review and Approval ! | |||
j When discrepancies discovered during the verification and validation ' | |||
! process are resolved, the desft E0P is reviewed by PORC and approved | |||
! in accordance with Administrative Procedure 1.4, Control of Plant j Procedures. | |||

3.4 OVERRIDE STATEMENTS Conditional statements applicable to a series of steps or actions are herein designated " override" statements. (e.g., "While executing Steps 8.2 and 8.3, if RPY water level can be determined, then continue | |||
~ | |||
in this procedure at Step 9.") The following conventions shall apply to the use of overrides in the E0Ps (refer to the illustration in Figure 4): | |||
3.4.1. Override statements shall be boxed and placed on the left hand pages, even with the first steps to which they apply. | |||
3.4.2. Override statements shall be repeated on subsequent left | |||
* hand pages if the steps to which they apply continue on following pages. This may be omitted in special circum-I stances if all the following are met: (1) An override is applicable throucfiout a procedure (2) the omission would greatly improve clarity on the override pages and (3) a vertical line shall be made as discussed in paragraph 3.4.6 to graphically show the presence of an override. | |||
Arrows pointing to the left shall be placed immediately to l | |||
p 3.4.3. | |||
( the left of the step numbers of steps having associated override statements. | |||
3.4.4 The top of the box where an override statement first appears l | |||
shall be a double line ending with an arrow aligned with the l | |||
arrow adjacent to the nunter of the step to which it applies. The text of the override statement, the double line forming the top of the box, and the arrow adjacent to the associated step number shall be printed in boldface type. | |||
On subsequent pages, the text and the arrows shall be in regular type and the top of the box shall be a single line, also in regular type. | |||
3.4.5. The text of the override statement shall specify the exact steps to which it applies. | |||
3.4.6. An arros e'xtending down from the left side of the box containing an override statement shall be used to graph-ically identify the steps to which the statement is applicable. The arrow shall extend from the top of the box to a point even with the last line of the last step to which the statement applies. The end point shall be marked with a horizontal double line. | |||

, ADMNISTRATIVE PROCEDURES TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES | |||
* PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPEWIX A 4 WRITING INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS 4.1 INSTRUCTICN STEP LENGTH AND CONTENT Instruction steps should be concise and precise. Conciseness denotes brevity; preciseness means exactly defined. Thus, instructions should be short .and exact. This is easily stated, but not so easily achieved. General rules to be used in meeting these objectives are as follows: | |||
- Instruction steps should deal with only one idea. | |||
- Short, simple sentences should be used in preference to long, compound, or complex sentences. | |||
- Complex evolutions should be prescribed in a series of steps, with each step made as simple as practicable. | |||
- Objects of operator actions should be specifically stated. This includes identification of exactly what is to be done and to ] | |||
what. | |||
For instructional steps that involve an action verb relating to | |||
; three or more objects, the objects will be listed. | |||
Limits should be expressed quantitatively whenever possible (refer to subsection 5.5). | |||
Instruction content should be written to communicate to the user. | |||
- Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated. | |||
- When acticns are required based upon receipt of an annunciated alarm, list the setpoint of the alarm for ease of verification. | |||
When requiring reset or restoration of an alarm or trip, list the expected results immediately following the reset or restoration if it would be beneficial to the operator. | |||
When considered beneficial to the user for proper understanding i and performance, describe the system response time associated j with performance of the instruction. ' | |||

* PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPENDIX A .._ ._ | |||
- When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, prescribe auch a time frame. | |||
If possible, however, avoid using time to initiate operator | |||
* actions. Operator actions should be related to plant parameters. | |||
- When anticipated system response may adversely affect instrument indications, describe the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and means of determining instrument error has occurred by using a NOTE. | |||
- When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the backup readings to be made. | |||
4.2 USE OF LOGIC TERMS j The logic terms AND, OR, NOT, IF, IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are often necessary to describe precisely a set of conditions or sequence of actions. When logic statements are used, logic terms will be high-lighted so that all the conditions are clear to the operator. Emphasis | |||
: h. . | |||
will be achieved by using capitalization. All letters of the logic terms will be capitalized. The following is an example of the proper construction of these logic statements: | |||

; Use other logic terms as follows: | |||
~ | |||
I | |||
- When attention should be call'ed to combinations of conditions, the word APC will be placed between or at the end of the description of each condition. The word AND will not be used to 4 join more than three conditions. If four or more conditions need to be joined, a list format will be used. | |||
1 l | |||
- The word OR will be used when calling attention to alternative l combinations of conditions. The use of the word OR will almost | |||
! always be in the inclusive sense. To specify the exclusive "0R," | |||
the following may be used: "either A OR B but not both." , | |||
- When actions steps are contingent upon certain conditions or i combinations of conditions, the step will begin with the words IF or WHEN followed by a description of the condition or conditions (the antecedent), a comma, the word THEN, followed by the action i to be taken (the consequent). WHEN is used for an expected con- | |||
! dition. IF is used for an unexpected by possible condition. | |||
- Use of IF NOT should be limited to those cases in which the operator must respond to the second of two possible conditions. | |||
l IF should be used to specify the first condition. | |||
1 i - THEN will not be used at the end of an action step to instruct the operator to perform the next stop because it runs actions together. | |||
- EXCEPT will be used following an action step to describe a con-dition when the action should not be performed and what alter-native action is necessary. | |||
- BEFORE will be used to indicate that en action should be performed prior to reaching a specified parameter. | |||
- UNTIL will be used to indicate the point at which a specified action should be stopped. | |||
- BUT ONLY IF, or BUT ONLY WHEN will be used to place an additional limitation on when an action will be performed. | |||
4.3 CAUTI(NS APO NOTES Cautions shall be used to identify a potential hazard to personnel or equipment. Notes shall be used to provide supplementary information related to a particular step. Refer to Section 3.5 for correct format. | |||

- Equipment, controls and displays will be identified in operator language (common usage) terms. These terms may not always match engraved names on panel but will be complete. | |||
- When the engraved names and numbers on alarm windows are spec-ifically the item of concern in the procedure, the engraving I should be quoted verbatim and emphasized by using all capitals. | |||

EW YORK POER AUTHORITY JAE S A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ADMNISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 1 | |||
TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY OPERATDC PROCEDURES" PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPEl@IX A | |||
- If the component is seldom used or it is felt that the component would be difficult to find, location information should be given : | |||
in parsntheses following the identification. | |||
l 4.8 CAPITALIZATION FOR EMPHASIS Capitalization will be used as emphasis in the following instances | |||
- caution statements | |||
- logic terms | |||
- procedure titles | |||
- title names and labels on the actual table or figure | |||
- abbreviations for systems and components | |||
- contingency statements (e.g. RPV FLOODING IS REQUIRED, or EMER-( - | |||
CENCY DEPRESSURIZATION IS REQUIRED). | |||
terms describing switch or control positions (e.g., " place the control switch for each SRV in the CLOSE position"). | |||
l 4.9 LEVEL OF DETAIL I | |||
; Too much detail in E0Ps should be avoided in the interest of being | |||
; able to effectively execute the instructions in a timely manner. The level of detail required is the detail that a newly trained licensed | |||
; operator would desire during an emergency condition. | |||
l To assist in determining the level of E0P detail, the following general rules apply: | |||
> - For control circuitry that executes an entire function upon actuation of.the control switch, the action verb appropriate to l the component suffices without further amplification of how to l | |||
manipulate the control device; for example, " Shut Feed Pump A | |||
; Discharge Valve (34-M3V-100A)." Recommended actions verbs are as l follows: | |||
; a. For power-driven rotating equipment, use " start", "stop". | |||
I | |||
: b. For valves, use "open", " shut", " throttle", "open", | |||
" throttle shut", " throttle". | |||

* PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPENDIX A 5.3 PUNCTUATION Punctuation should be used only as necessary to aid reading and pre-vent misunderstanding. Word order should be selected to require a minimum of punctuation. When extensive punctuation is necessary for clarity, the sentence should be rewritten and possibly made into several sentences. Punctuation should be in accordance with the following rules. | |||
5.3.1 Brackets Do not use brackets. | |||
5.3.2 Colon Use a colon to indicate that a list of items is to follow, for example: Restore cooling flow as follows: | |||
5.3.3 Comma n) | |||
( | |||
Use of many commas is a sign that the instruction is too complex and needs to be rewritten. Therefore, evaluate the number of commas to ensure the instruction is not too complex. | |||
Use a conaa after conditional phrases for clarity and esse of reading. (e.g.,: WHEN level decreases to 60 inches, THEN st art pump . . . . ) | |||
i 5.3.4 Parentheses Parentheses shall be used to indicate alternative items in a procedure, instruction, or equipment numbers. They shall also be used to denote location (e.g. verify relay SA-K23A i | |||
(panel 09-5) has energized). | |||
5.3.5 Period | |||
; Use a period at the end of complete sentences and for indicating the decimal place in numbers. | |||
5.4 VOCABULARY | |||
( Words used in procedures should convey precise understanding to the trained person. The following rules apply: | |||

* PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPENDIX A , | |||
- Use siaple words. Some words are usually short words of few syllables. Simple words are generally common words. | |||
- Use cosmon usage if it makes the procedure easier to understand. | |||
- Use words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, precise rather than blanket. | |||
- Define key words that may be understood in more than one sense. | |||
- Verbs with specific meanings should be used. Examples are listed i in Table 1. | |||
l | |||
- Equipment status should be denoted as follows: | |||
: a. Operable / operability -- These words mean that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is believed to be capable of performing its specified function (s) in the intended manner. Implicit in this definition is the assump-f- | |||
tion that necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power seurces, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment req-uired for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing related support function (s). | |||
i l | |||
: b. Operating - This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is in operation and is per-t forming its specified function (s), and that other conditions i do not prevent it froer maintaining that service. | |||
i c. Available -- This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is believed to be operable and can be used as desired; however, it need not be operating. | |||

, 5.5 NUMERICAL VALUES The use of numerical values should be consistent with the following rules: | |||
- Arabic numerals should be used. | |||
- For numbers less than unity, the decimal point should be preceded by a zero; for example: 0.1. | |||
l | |||
- The nunter of significant digits should be equal to the nunt)er of significant digits available from the display and reading pre-cision of the operator. | |||
I - Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction.by the user is avoided if possible. This can generally be done by stating acceptance values as limits. | |||
Examples: 510*F maximum, 300 psig minimum, 580* to 600*F. For calibration points, statement of the midpoint and its lower and | |||
' upper limits would accomplish the same purpose; for example,10 mil 11 amperes (9.5 to 10,5). Avoid using 3 | |||
- Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables. They should be the same as those used on the control room displays, for examples psig instead of psi. | |||

l APPENDIX A 5.6 ABBREVIATIONS, LETTERS SY>e0LS, AND ACRONY M S The use of abbreviations should be minimized because they may be con-fusing to those who are not thoroughly familiar with them. Abbrevia- ; | |||
tions may be used where necessary to save time and space, and when , | |||
their meaning is unquestionably clear to the intended reader. The l complete noun name should be written before the first use of an l abbreviation, whenever doubt exists regarding meaning. Consistency ' | |||
should be maintained throughout the procedure. | |||
Capitalization of abbreviations should be uniform. If the abbrevia-tion is comprised of lower case letters, it should appear in lower case in a title or heading. The period should be omitted in abbrev-istions except in cases where the omission would result in confusion. | |||
Letter synbols may be used to represent operations, quantities, ele-ments, relations, and qualities. | |||
An acronym is a type of symbol formed by the initial letter or - | |||
letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound - | |||
term. Acronyms may be used if they are defined or coemnonly used. | |||
Table 2 lists commonly recognized acronyms. | |||
Abbreviations, symbols, and acronyms should not be over used. Their use should be for the benefit of the reader. They can be beneficial i by saving reading time, ensure clarity when space is limited, and com- j municating mathematic ideas. | |||

REVISION REVIEWED BY - DATE The checklist presented in this appendix can be thought of as a screening device to aid reviewers in identifying the procedural deficiencies that are most important in terms of their impact on a quality of operator performance. The most important procedural deficiencies re those that have contributed to operator performance deviations. To identify these performance deviations, an analysis of 890 License Event Reports (LERs) by the RNC dealing with operator errors during the four-year period from 1975 to 1978 was performed. The specific kinds of errors that are amenable -to procedures solutions were determined. Each of the procedures evaluation criteria comprising the checklist items is aimed at correcting one or more kinds of operator performance deviations. ~. | |||

'O e-NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant 1 | |||
l ATTACHMENT NO. 4 TO JPN-8 5-66 comparison of Significant Differences Between FitzPatrick's EPG Rev. 3 and Generic BWR Owners Group EPG Rev. 3 l (NRC SER) | |||
: 1. The FitzPatrick Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs) have eliminated generic statements and system applicability and have inserted plant specific statements and systems (Ex: FitzPatrick i EPGs do not address " containment" parameters but refer to "drywell" and " suppression pool" or " torus" parameters). | |||
I | |||
: 2. ' Caution 48 (NPSH for pump taking suction from suppression pool) of generic EPG has been expanded to include NPSH curves for | |||
; different water levels as well as different temperatures. This provides more information to the operators. | |||
I 3. In Step RC/P-1, the pressure selected is a little lower than j what the generic EPG specifies (i.e., RPV pressure at which all i | |||
turbine bypass valves are fully open) in order to provide a better balance between pressure control when an SRV has | |||
, erroneously lifted (more probable) and when an SRV has lifted during an ATWS event (less probable). | |||
1 | |||
: 4. RC/P Section - The initial override statement first bullet paragraph has had the following words added "and Boron Injection is not required". Revision 3 of the generic EPGs would have one rapidly depressurizing the RPV with the main turbine bypass valves even if boron injection was in progress. | |||
This oversite was corrected in later revisions of the generic owner's group EPGs. | |||
: 5. Step RC/P Revision 3 of generic EPG states'for SRV pressure | |||
! control; "if the continuous SRV pneumatic supply is or becomes | |||
: unavailable, depressurize with sustained SRV opening." | |||
The FitzPatrick EPG states "If the continuous SRV pneumatic j supply is or becomes unavailable, close each SRV." This j statement'is consistent with Revision 3A of the generic owner's j' group EPG in which the paragraph was changed since it was inappropriate to "depressurize" with SRVs when Step RV/P-2 j concerns itself with " control" of pressure. The intent is the same, to not use up the pneumatic supply which enables operation of the SRVs. Therefore, by closing the SRVs, the i | |||
accumulator supply in conserved for future use while pressure control is maintained by other systems, i | |||

O 9 | |||
: 6. Step RC/P Added the paragraph "If one or more SRVs are being used to depressurize the RPV and the continuous SRV pneumatic supply is or becomes unavailable, depressurize with sustained SRV opening" which is consistent with Revision 3A of the generic owner's group EPG. | |||
This paragraph was added to provide the guidance which was changed in the previous paragraph (RC/P-2). i | |||
: 7. Step SP/T Moved sentence: " Enter RPV control guideline at Step RC-1 and execute it concurrently with this procedure" from first paragraph to last. This is consistent with Rev. 3A of generic owner's group EPG which relocated the Step RC-1 entry to accommodate failure to scram events. This ensures conditions for boron injection, if required, are in effect prior to emergency depressurization, if required. | |||
: 8. Step PC/P FitzPatrick EPG has deleted first paragraph to , | |||
operate containment pressure control systems. | |||
These systems would be the drywell cooling systems which are required to be operated by Step DW/T-1. To prevent redundancy and possible confusion, the requirement was deleted from Step PC/P-1. | |||
: 9. Step SP/L The FitzPatrick EPG in the first paragraph does not refetence a sampling procedure prior to discharging water from the euppression pool since all water is processed via the plant's RaC Waste System and its applicable procedures. | |||
: 10. Secondary Coi.tainment control Guideline - The FitzPatrick EPG entry condition considering HVAC cooler specifies a maximum inlet temperature rather than the differential temperature specified in the generic EPG due to lack of instrumentation, | |||
: 11. Step SC/L-2 and L the FitzPatrick EPG does not include reference to the. floor drain sumps exceeding their maximum safe operating value since no value is applicable. | |||
: 12. Step RR FitzPatrick EPG also includes site area emergency requirements as a reason for emergency depressurization. | |||
: 13. Step C2 FitzPatrick EPG refers back to Step RC/P-3; where | |||
. as, the generic Rev. 3 refers back to Step RC/P-4. The change was introduced by Rev. 3A of the generic owner's group EPGs to ensure that all the required boron (via SLC) or all control rods were inserted or the reactor was definitely shutdown prior to entering shutdown cooling. | |||
1 14. Step C6-2.1 - The minimum number of open SRVs is one (1) rather than the two (2) specified in Revision 3 of the generic EPG. A | |||
; later revision (3I) of the owner's group generic EPG reduced the open SRVs to 1, which is still based on calculations which ensure adequate core cooling if the RPV pressure is greater than the minimum alternate flooding pressure. | |||
O "3 p | |||
: 15. Step C6-5.1 - The Revision 3 step referring to filling the instrumentation water columns was deleted in FitzPatrick's EPG. This step was deleted in Revision 3A of the generic owner's group EPG for the following reasons: a) Due to previous steps, if all rods were not inserted or the reactor was not shutdown, an operator would not get to this step for some time, therefore as a minimum, the step must come earlier in the contingency, b) The operator should be trying to restore PRV water level instrumentation whenever he gets the problem whether electrical, columns flashing, etc. The owner's group concluded that this level of detail was not consistent with the rest of the EPG s therefore, it was removed and included in the Appendix B discussion. | |||
: 16. Step Contingency 67 initial override - FitzPatrick's EPG has deleted reference to reactor flow stagnation power which is consistent with later revisions of the generic owner's group EPG. The later revisions are only concerned on whether RPV flooding is required or not since if the stagnation power was unknown or couldn't be maintained then flooding was required anyway. | |||
: 17. Step C7-2.1 - See answer to Item 14. | |||
: 18. Step RC/P-2, The seventh bullet paragraph has been changed to reflect sampling only if the core has been uncovered. The generic EPG states " refer to (sampling procedure) prior to initiating blowdown." The concern as discussed, in Appendix B of the generic EPG, is to preclude the possibility of discharging highly radioactive water to the environment. At FitzPatrick, any blowdown of RWCU would go either to the condenser or to the Rad Waste facility. Specific procedures govern the discharge of liquids from Rad Waste. Therefore, the wording in the generic EPG is not applicable. However, prior to discharging water to the Rad Waste, which could be highly contaminated, (i.e., resulting from core uncovery), a sample should be taken for information and caution. | |||
: 19. Step PC/P A note was added which provides guidance on when to secure suppression pool sprays, if initiated. This was added in Revision 3G of the generic EPG to provide this guidance. | |||
: 20. Step SC/R Added " reactor building ventilation exhaust" to | |||
" area radiation level" for clarity and to minimize release of radioactivity to outside the secondary containment. | |||
: 21. Step SP/T The FitzPatrick EPG has deleted the step for requiring a scram if a SORV can not be closed. That is, FitzPatrick has opted for the optional time frame of infinity. | |||
It was decided that the 110 degrees Farenheit limit in Step SP/T-3 should be the governing parameter for the scram since torus temperature could be under control with various steps being taken to get the valve shut.}} |

7.0 PROCEDURE
7.1 Technical Guideline Development Generic technical guidelines for Emergency Operating Pro-7.1.1 cedures have been developed by the BWR Owner's Group for General Electric boiling water reactors. These guidelines
~
are generic to GE-BWR 1 through 6 designs in that they add- ,m j ress all major systems which may be used to respond to emer-gencies. FitzPatrick, as any other 8WR, does not have all J
of these systems. The guidelines are applied to this plant by deleting steps, systems, and equipment not applicable, ,
identifying and adding instructions for systems and equip-ment unique to FitzPatrick, or substituting statements that are equivalent. In the generic guidelines, brackets 1. j enclose plant specific setpoints, desicp limits, pump shut- \
off pressures, etc., and parentheses within the brackets l indicate the source of the bracketed variable. The generic guidelines contain, as an appendix, calculational procedures
- for deriving values of the more complex of the bracketed plant-specific verisbles.
7.1.2 The generic guidelines shall be developed and reviewe'd by the GE-BWR Owner's Group prior to use in the development of FitzPatt.ick Emergency Operating Procedures.
7.1.3 A plant specific technical guideline shall be prepared from the generic guidelines through the process of deletion and substitution of statements and the substitution of plant specific variables. The person preparing the technical guideline signs the cover sheet.
i 7.1.4 The plant specific technical guideline is then subjected to -
4 an independent review. Using Appendix C, E0P/EPG Verifica-tion Checklist, Technical Review Section, the reviewer performs a step by step check to assure the technical ac- h Rev. No. A Date 05/16/84 Page 4 of 59

curacy of the guideline. Discrepancies found during the review are documented in the final section of the checklist.
The checklist is returned to tne writer for resolution of problems. The resolution la also documented in the final
! section of the checklist. The reviewer signs the cover sheet of the technical guidelines.
! 7.1.5 The Operations Superintendent a oves the plant specific
' technical guidelines for use in writing the Emergency Opers-
~ ting Procedures.
7.1.6 Plant Speciric Technical guidelines shall be controlled i
under the Quality Assurance Program.
7.2 Emergency Operating Procedure Development The Emergency Operating Procedure writer translates the plant specific technical guidelines into a series at action steps. These steps accomplish the objectives of the technical guideline and are written in a form to optimize the operator's performance. The FitzPatrick l .
Writers Guide for Emergency Operating Procedures, Appendix A, is used
- p throughout this development process. This assures the procedural
- A s steps are presented in a clear, definitive manner that adheres to I human factors principles for written material presentation.
7.3 Emergency Operating Procedure Verification l
7.3.1 Verification is performed to evaluate the written correct-ness and technical accuracy of the E0Ps. Persons perform- '
ing the verification conduct a step by step review of the E0Ps using as guidelines, Appendix B, E0P Verification Checklist, Administrative Review Section, and Appendix C, E0P/EPG Verification Checklist, Technical Review Section.
This review determines how well the procedures follow the E0P Writers Guide and FitzPetrick Technical Guideline. Dis.
- crepancies found during the review are documented in the final section of sach checklist. These are returned to the E0P writer, for resolution. The resolution is documented in the final section of the checklist.
7.3.2 The person preparing the draft E0P prepares a Procedure I Initiation / Revision Request Form in accordance with Adminis-trative Procedure 1.4, Control of Plant Procedures. The person or persons performing the verification review should sign or be referenced in the procedure initiation review form in the " Reviewed By" section. The name should also be labeled " Verifier". ,

NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY , l JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ADMNISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 1 TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES
- PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 7.4 Emergency Operating Procedure Validation Validation is performed to evaluate the usability and operational correctness of E0Ps. The validation process consists of the following elements:
7.4.1 Selection of transients to be used in the validation pro-cess.
'7.4.1.1 The Operations Superintendent or designated alter-nate determines the scenarios that will best eval-uste the effectiveness of the draft E0Ps. This determination is generally made considering the relative probability of occurrence and industry experience. Examples of possible scenarios in-clude SBA, SBA with HPCI failure, DBA LOCA, etc.
l 7.4.2 Determination of the method of validation:
7.4.2.1 Validation may be performed using control room walk-through, " table-top", or simulator envirome nts. In general a combination of the three '
,}
methods provides the broadest evaluation of a %-
draft E0Ps acceptability. The control room walk-through allows evaluation of operator performance
) in the setting that the procedures must be capable of being performed. The availability of indica-tion, work space design, and the placement of controls are easily evaluated relative to the operator actions specified in the E0P. The walk-through method, however, is contrived and provides little time-dependent information concerning the response of the plant to operator action. The simulator provides insight into this interaction of the plant and the operators to the extent that computer modeling is able to simulate actual reactor performance. ,
"'The " table-top" validation method allows personnel to explain and/or discuss E0P decision and action steps in response to a proposed scenario or as a part of an actual industry operating experience review. This method is also limited as far as time-dependent responses re concerned, but still provides a forum for procedure evaluation when access to the control room is restricted.

~
the operator (s) describe their actions the ob-l server using Appendix D, E0P Validation Checklist, ,
evaluates the E0Ps usefulness and operational l I correctness.
7.4.3.2 Simulator sessions are conducted using a normal i

, ADMNISTRATIVE PROCEDURES TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY OPERATING PROCEDURES
- PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPEWIX A 4 WRITING INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS 4.1 INSTRUCTICN STEP LENGTH AND CONTENT Instruction steps should be concise and precise. Conciseness denotes brevity; preciseness means exactly defined. Thus, instructions should be short .and exact. This is easily stated, but not so easily achieved. General rules to be used in meeting these objectives are as follows:
- Instruction steps should deal with only one idea.
- Short, simple sentences should be used in preference to long, compound, or complex sentences.
- Complex evolutions should be prescribed in a series of steps, with each step made as simple as practicable.
- Objects of operator actions should be specifically stated. This includes identification of exactly what is to be done and to ]
what.
For instructional steps that involve an action verb relating to
- three or more objects, the objects will be listed.
Limits should be expressed quantitatively whenever possible (refer to subsection 5.5).
Instruction content should be written to communicate to the user.
- Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated.
- When acticns are required based upon receipt of an annunciated alarm, list the setpoint of the alarm for ease of verification.
When requiring reset or restoration of an alarm or trip, list the expected results immediately following the reset or restoration if it would be beneficial to the operator.
When considered beneficial to the user for proper understanding i and performance, describe the system response time associated j with performance of the instruction. '

- PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPENDIX A .._ ._
- When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, prescribe auch a time frame.
If possible, however, avoid using time to initiate operator
- actions. Operator actions should be related to plant parameters.
- When anticipated system response may adversely affect instrument indications, describe the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and means of determining instrument error has occurred by using a NOTE.
- When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the backup readings to be made.
4.2 USE OF LOGIC TERMS j The logic terms AND, OR, NOT, IF, IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are often necessary to describe precisely a set of conditions or sequence of actions. When logic statements are used, logic terms will be high-lighted so that all the conditions are clear to the operator. Emphasis
- h. .
will be achieved by using capitalization. All letters of the logic terms will be capitalized. The following is an example of the proper construction of these logic statements:

I
- When attention should be call'ed to combinations of conditions, the word APC will be placed between or at the end of the description of each condition. The word AND will not be used to 4 join more than three conditions. If four or more conditions need to be joined, a list format will be used.
1 l
- The word OR will be used when calling attention to alternative l combinations of conditions. The use of the word OR will almost
! always be in the inclusive sense. To specify the exclusive "0R,"
the following may be used: "either A OR B but not both." ,
- When actions steps are contingent upon certain conditions or i combinations of conditions, the step will begin with the words IF or WHEN followed by a description of the condition or conditions (the antecedent), a comma, the word THEN, followed by the action i to be taken (the consequent). WHEN is used for an expected con-
! dition. IF is used for an unexpected by possible condition.
- Use of IF NOT should be limited to those cases in which the operator must respond to the second of two possible conditions.
l IF should be used to specify the first condition.
1 i - THEN will not be used at the end of an action step to instruct the operator to perform the next stop because it runs actions together.
- EXCEPT will be used following an action step to describe a con-dition when the action should not be performed and what alter-native action is necessary.
- BEFORE will be used to indicate that en action should be performed prior to reaching a specified parameter.
- UNTIL will be used to indicate the point at which a specified action should be stopped.
- BUT ONLY IF, or BUT ONLY WHEN will be used to place an additional limitation on when an action will be performed.
4.3 CAUTI(NS APO NOTES Cautions shall be used to identify a potential hazard to personnel or equipment. Notes shall be used to provide supplementary information related to a particular step. Refer to Section 3.5 for correct format.

l 4.8 CAPITALIZATION FOR EMPHASIS Capitalization will be used as emphasis in the following instances
- caution statements
- logic terms
- procedure titles
- title names and labels on the actual table or figure
- abbreviations for systems and components
- contingency statements (e.g. RPV FLOODING IS REQUIRED, or EMER-( -
CENCY DEPRESSURIZATION IS REQUIRED).
terms describing switch or control positions (e.g., " place the control switch for each SRV in the CLOSE position").
l 4.9 LEVEL OF DETAIL I
- Too much detail in E0Ps should be avoided in the interest of being
- able to effectively execute the instructions in a timely manner. The level of detail required is the detail that a newly trained licensed
- operator would desire during an emergency condition.
l To assist in determining the level of E0P detail, the following general rules apply:
> - For control circuitry that executes an entire function upon actuation of.the control switch, the action verb appropriate to l the component suffices without further amplification of how to l
manipulate the control device; for example, " Shut Feed Pump A
- Discharge Valve (34-M3V-100A)." Recommended actions verbs are as l follows
- a. For power-driven rotating equipment, use " start", "stop".
I
- b. For valves, use "open", " shut", " throttle", "open",
" throttle shut", " throttle".

- PROCEDURE NO. AP 2.2 APPENDIX A 5.3 PUNCTUATION Punctuation should be used only as necessary to aid reading and pre-vent misunderstanding. Word order should be selected to require a minimum of punctuation. When extensive punctuation is necessary for clarity, the sentence should be rewritten and possibly made into several sentences. Punctuation should be in accordance with the following rules.
5.3.1 Brackets Do not use brackets.
5.3.2 Colon Use a colon to indicate that a list of items is to follow, for example: Restore cooling flow as follows:
5.3.3 Comma n)
(
Use of many commas is a sign that the instruction is too complex and needs to be rewritten. Therefore, evaluate the number of commas to ensure the instruction is not too complex.
Use a conaa after conditional phrases for clarity and esse of reading. (e.g.,: WHEN level decreases to 60 inches, THEN st art pump . . . . )
i 5.3.4 Parentheses Parentheses shall be used to indicate alternative items in a procedure, instruction, or equipment numbers. They shall also be used to denote location (e.g. verify relay SA-K23A i
(panel 09-5) has energized).
5.3.5 Period
- Use a period at the end of complete sentences and for indicating the decimal place in numbers.

- Use siaple words. Some words are usually short words of few syllables. Simple words are generally common words.
- Use cosmon usage if it makes the procedure easier to understand.
- Use words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, precise rather than blanket.
- Define key words that may be understood in more than one sense.
- Verbs with specific meanings should be used. Examples are listed i in Table 1.
l
- Equipment status should be denoted as follows:
- a. Operable / operability -- These words mean that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is believed to be capable of performing its specified function (s) in the intended manner. Implicit in this definition is the assump-f-
tion that necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power seurces, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment req-uired for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing related support function (s).
i l
- b. Operating - This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is in operation and is per-t forming its specified function (s), and that other conditions i do not prevent it froer maintaining that service.
i c. Available -- This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is believed to be operable and can be used as desired; however, it need not be operating.

- For numbers less than unity, the decimal point should be preceded by a zero; for example: 0.1.
l
- The nunter of significant digits should be equal to the nunt)er of significant digits available from the display and reading pre-cision of the operator.
I - Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction.by the user is avoided if possible. This can generally be done by stating acceptance values as limits.
Examples: 510*F maximum, 300 psig minimum, 580* to 600*F. For calibration points, statement of the midpoint and its lower and
' upper limits would accomplish the same purpose; for example,10 mil 11 amperes (9.5 to 10,5). Avoid using 3
- Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables. They should be the same as those used on the control room displays, for examples psig instead of psi.

REVISION REVIEWED BY - DATE The checklist presented in this appendix can be thought of as a screening device to aid reviewers in identifying the procedural deficiencies that are most important in terms of their impact on a quality of operator performance. The most important procedural deficiencies re those that have contributed to operator performance deviations. To identify these performance deviations, an analysis of 890 License Event Reports (LERs) by the RNC dealing with operator errors during the four-year period from 1975 to 1978 was performed. The specific kinds of errors that are amenable -to procedures solutions were determined. Each of the procedures evaluation criteria comprising the checklist items is aimed at correcting one or more kinds of operator performance deviations. ~.

'O e-NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant 1
l ATTACHMENT NO. 4 TO JPN-8 5-66 comparison of Significant Differences Between FitzPatrick's EPG Rev. 3 and Generic BWR Owners Group EPG Rev. 3 l (NRC SER)
- 1. The FitzPatrick Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs) have eliminated generic statements and system applicability and have inserted plant specific statements and systems (Ex: FitzPatrick i EPGs do not address " containment" parameters but refer to "drywell" and " suppression pool" or " torus" parameters).
I
- 2. ' Caution 48 (NPSH for pump taking suction from suppression pool) of generic EPG has been expanded to include NPSH curves for
- different water levels as well as different temperatures. This provides more information to the operators.
I 3. In Step RC/P-1, the pressure selected is a little lower than j what the generic EPG specifies (i.e., RPV pressure at which all i
turbine bypass valves are fully open) in order to provide a better balance between pressure control when an SRV has
, erroneously lifted (more probable) and when an SRV has lifted during an ATWS event (less probable).
1
- 4. RC/P Section - The initial override statement first bullet paragraph has had the following words added "and Boron Injection is not required". Revision 3 of the generic EPGs would have one rapidly depressurizing the RPV with the main turbine bypass valves even if boron injection was in progress.
This oversite was corrected in later revisions of the generic owner's group EPGs.
! control; "if the continuous SRV pneumatic supply is or becomes
- unavailable, depressurize with sustained SRV opening."
The FitzPatrick EPG states "If the continuous SRV pneumatic j supply is or becomes unavailable, close each SRV." This j statement'is consistent with Revision 3A of the generic owner's j' group EPG in which the paragraph was changed since it was inappropriate to "depressurize" with SRVs when Step RV/P-2 j concerns itself with " control" of pressure. The intent is the same, to not use up the pneumatic supply which enables operation of the SRVs. Therefore, by closing the SRVs, the i
accumulator supply in conserved for future use while pressure control is maintained by other systems, i

O 9
- 6. Step RC/P Added the paragraph "If one or more SRVs are being used to depressurize the RPV and the continuous SRV pneumatic supply is or becomes unavailable, depressurize with sustained SRV opening" which is consistent with Revision 3A of the generic owner's group EPG.
This paragraph was added to provide the guidance which was changed in the previous paragraph (RC/P-2). i
- 7. Step SP/T Moved sentence: " Enter RPV control guideline at Step RC-1 and execute it concurrently with this procedure" from first paragraph to last. This is consistent with Rev. 3A of generic owner's group EPG which relocated the Step RC-1 entry to accommodate failure to scram events. This ensures conditions for boron injection, if required, are in effect prior to emergency depressurization, if required.
- 8. Step PC/P FitzPatrick EPG has deleted first paragraph to ,
operate containment pressure control systems.
These systems would be the drywell cooling systems which are required to be operated by Step DW/T-1. To prevent redundancy and possible confusion, the requirement was deleted from Step PC/P-1.
- 9. Step SP/L The FitzPatrick EPG in the first paragraph does not refetence a sampling procedure prior to discharging water from the euppression pool since all water is processed via the plant's RaC Waste System and its applicable procedures.
- 10. Secondary Coi.tainment control Guideline - The FitzPatrick EPG entry condition considering HVAC cooler specifies a maximum inlet temperature rather than the differential temperature specified in the generic EPG due to lack of instrumentation,
- 11. Step SC/L-2 and L the FitzPatrick EPG does not include reference to the. floor drain sumps exceeding their maximum safe operating value since no value is applicable.
- 12. Step RR FitzPatrick EPG also includes site area emergency requirements as a reason for emergency depressurization.
- 13. Step C2 FitzPatrick EPG refers back to Step RC/P-3; where
. as, the generic Rev. 3 refers back to Step RC/P-4. The change was introduced by Rev. 3A of the generic owner's group EPGs to ensure that all the required boron (via SLC) or all control rods were inserted or the reactor was definitely shutdown prior to entering shutdown cooling.
1 14. Step C6-2.1 - The minimum number of open SRVs is one (1) rather than the two (2) specified in Revision 3 of the generic EPG. A
- later revision (3I) of the owner's group generic EPG reduced the open SRVs to 1, which is still based on calculations which ensure adequate core cooling if the RPV pressure is greater than the minimum alternate flooding pressure.
O "3 p
- 15. Step C6-5.1 - The Revision 3 step referring to filling the instrumentation water columns was deleted in FitzPatrick's EPG. This step was deleted in Revision 3A of the generic owner's group EPG for the following reasons: a) Due to previous steps, if all rods were not inserted or the reactor was not shutdown, an operator would not get to this step for some time, therefore as a minimum, the step must come earlier in the contingency, b) The operator should be trying to restore PRV water level instrumentation whenever he gets the problem whether electrical, columns flashing, etc. The owner's group concluded that this level of detail was not consistent with the rest of the EPG s therefore, it was removed and included in the Appendix B discussion.
- 16. Step Contingency 67 initial override - FitzPatrick's EPG has deleted reference to reactor flow stagnation power which is consistent with later revisions of the generic owner's group EPG. The later revisions are only concerned on whether RPV flooding is required or not since if the stagnation power was unknown or couldn't be maintained then flooding was required anyway.
- 17. Step C7-2.1 - See answer to Item 14.
- 18. Step RC/P-2, The seventh bullet paragraph has been changed to reflect sampling only if the core has been uncovered. The generic EPG states " refer to (sampling procedure) prior to initiating blowdown." The concern as discussed, in Appendix B of the generic EPG, is to preclude the possibility of discharging highly radioactive water to the environment. At FitzPatrick, any blowdown of RWCU would go either to the condenser or to the Rad Waste facility. Specific procedures govern the discharge of liquids from Rad Waste. Therefore, the wording in the generic EPG is not applicable. However, prior to discharging water to the Rad Waste, which could be highly contaminated, (i.e., resulting from core uncovery), a sample should be taken for information and caution.
- 19. Step PC/P A note was added which provides guidance on when to secure suppression pool sprays, if initiated. This was added in Revision 3G of the generic EPG to provide this guidance.
- 20. Step SC/R Added " reactor building ventilation exhaust" to
" area radiation level" for clarity and to minimize release of radioactivity to outside the secondary containment.
- 21. Step SP/T The FitzPatrick EPG has deleted the step for requiring a scram if a SORV can not be closed. That is, FitzPatrick has opted for the optional time frame of infinity.
It was decided that the 110 degrees Farenheit limit in Step SP/T-3 should be the governing parameter for the scram since torus temperature could be under control with various steps being taken to get the valve shut.
