The program to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs at WCGS is based on three independent inputs or perspectives. These perspectives are:

the supervisor of the trainee, the trainee, and an educational content

evaluation. Each of these reviews of training programs for effectiveness is discussed below.

13.2-16 Rev. 22 WOLF CREEK 13.2.2.10.1 Supervisory Review for Training Effectiveness

The purpose of this review is to monitor the content of training programs as related to the duties and job responsibilities for The Operating Agent employees being trained. This may be accomplished by supervisors of employees meeting with appropriate Training personnel or participating in

training committee meetings periodically to compare observations of employee

job performance with the training employees have received. Observations are discussed to determine topics that may require additional training or subjects that may be removed from the training program.

13.2.2.10.2 Trainee Review of Training Effectiveness

Following selected courses, or training cycles, trainees are solicited for written comments in the effectiveness of the instructional methods and

materials in relations to the relevancy of their jobs. These comments are used in the evaluation of both instructors and content of the training

program. 13.2.2.10.3 Review for Effectiveness of Instructional Techniques

and Materials

The Operating Agent retains either a staff member or qualified consultant with appropriate experience in educational processes to evaluate instructional techniques and materials. Textbooks and classroom visual aids

are monitored for clarity and applicability. Spot checks of instructors in

the teaching environment are conducted by this qualified individual to

monitor classroom performance. Full time instructors for WCGS personnel receive basic indoctrination in instructional techniques as soon as practicable after assuming instructional duties. The educational specialist conducts periodic seminars in instructional techniques, discussing areas

where group performance could be improved and also passing on innovative new

techniques observed at WCGS or elsewhere. Individual counseling for improvement of classroom instructor techniques are conducted by the Manager Training or designee, as appropriate. The educational specialist may assist

the Manager Training with this individual counseling effort, if requested.

This program is controlled by administrative procedures.

Review of the Emergency Plan and Procedures Rev 0 WOLF CREEK 13.4 REVIEW AND AUDIT A program for review and audit of activities affecting station safety during the operational phase has been established. The program provides a system to insure that these activities are performed in accordance with company policy and rules, approved procedures and license provisions. This program provides

review of safety-related plant changes, tests, and procedures.

13.4.1 ONSITE REVIEW

Proposed physical changes to nuclear-safety-related systems, or any new or

modified tests or experiments involving nuclear-safety-related systems that

result in a 10 CFR 50.59 Evaluation (i.e., changes, tests or experiments as defined by 10 CFR 50.59), and unplanned events that have operational nuclear-safety significance are reviewed by the Plant Safety Review Committee. Changes

to nuclear-safety-related procedures are reviewed by the Plant Safety Review Committee as described in the Quality Program Manual.

13.4.1.1 Plant Safety Review Committee (PSRC)

The PSRC is composed of certain supervisory and technical personnel as

described in the Quality Program Manual. The PSRC is charged with reviewing

those nuclear-safety-related activities described in the Quality Program Manual and with advising the Plant Manager on the disposition of those items reviewed.

The PSRC may also review other nuclear-safety-related activities as deemed appropriate by the PSRC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Plant Manager, and PSRC member, or by other WCNOC organizations.

A subcommittee of the PSRC, the Joint Test Group (JTG) reviewed preoperational test procedures in accordance with Section 14.2.3.2.

13.4.2 INDEPENDENT REVIEW

Activities affecting station safety occurring during the operational phase are independently reviewed by the Plant Safety Review Committee and Quality.

13.4.3 AUDIT PROGRAM

Audits of activities affecting safety-related systems, structures or components are carried out according to prearranged schedules by qualified members of the Operating Agent Quality division.

13.4-1 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK 13.4.3.1 Activities Audited Audits are periodically conducted on activities such as, but not limited to, the following:

1. The conformance of plant operation to provisions of

the Technical Specifications and license conditions.

2. The results of actions taken to correct deficiencies affecting safety-related systems, structures, or

components.

3. Offsite engineering and technical support activities.

4. Contractors, consultants, and suppliers of safety-

related items or services.

13.4.3.2 Conduct of Audits Audits are conducted by auditors as described in the Quality Program Manual.

13.4.3.3 Review of Audits The entire quality program including the audit program is under independent periodic review to assure that audits are being conducted, are effective in identifying problems and are verifying that appropriate corrective actions are taken.

13.4-2 Rev. 21 WOLF CREEK 13.5 PLANT PROCEDURES The WCGS staff is responsible for assuring the safe and efficient operation of the station under the overall responsibility and direction of the plant manager. Activities which affect safety-related structures, systems and components are conducted by detailed, written, and approved procedures. These

activities are identified in this section and a method for developing and

approving the procedures is provided.

13.5.1 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

The Plant Manager develops and implements written administrative procedures.

These administrative procedures assign the WCGS staff responsibilities and authorities. They also provide the control measures for the preparation of station procedures which govern safety-related activities.

13.5.1.1 Conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.33 The administrative controls utilized during the operations phase, which are described in this section, are consistent with the provisions of Regulatory

Guide 1.33, "Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)," Revision 2, February 1978, except as described in Appendix 3A.

13.5.1.2 Preparation of Documents Preparation of plant operating procedures took place in approximately the same

time frame as the preparation of final drafts for preoperational and initial

startup test procedures.

Administrative procedures which govern the assignment of responsibilities for

preparation, review and approval of other station procedures were prepared

initially. Other administrative procedures were prepared as necessary to

implement the operational phase of programs such as security and visitor control, housekeeping, design change processing and retest requirements after design changes, document control and records management. Operation section

administrative procedures and operating procedures necessary for operator

training and preparation for operator license examination were completed six

months prior to fuel loading. All other procedures are prepared and approved prior to their use for performing the prescribed safety-related activity.

The station management position designated responsible for a given activity, as

prescribed in Wolf Creek Generating Station procedures, is also responsible for

the preparation of procedures for that activity. The actual preparation of procedures may have been performed by other Operating Agent personnel or by outside contractors, but the final responsibility lies with the designated

responsible position.

13.5-1 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK Procedures are reviewed by Qualified Reviewers designated by the PSRC Chairman.

The Qualified Reviewer ensures all reviews are completed and reviews are documented as directed by administrative procedures. The Responsible Manager for the document will sign to approve the document for use.

Procedures are approved for use by the manager responsible for implementation

of the procedure, or by a direct report of the responsible manager who is directly responsible in the area of expertise for the procedure.

Procedures which are classified as Administrative Control procedures are

reviewed and approved by the Plant Safety Review Committee (PSRC) and the plant

manager. All Administrative Control Procedures are reviewed and the reviews documented by qualified personnel. All Administrative Control Procedures are reviewed by a Qualified Reviewer, the Responsible Manager, the Plant Safety

Review Committee (PSRC), and by the plant manager. Reviews of Administrative Control Procedures are documented on the Document Revision Request form.

Temporary Changes to procedures which do not change the intent of the original or subsequent approved procedure, or generate an Evaluation per 10CFR 50.59 may

be made. Prior to use, temporary changes are to be approved by two cognizant

members of the WCNOC staff knowledgeable in the areas affected by the document.

At least one of these shall be a member of WCNOC supervision. For temporary changes to operating procedures, at least one of these members must hold a senior reactor operator (SRO) license.

All temporary changes to procedures are subsequently reviewed by a Qualified

Reviewer and the Responsible Manager within 14 days after approval for use.

13.5.1.3 Procedures The Plant Manager develops and implements station administrative procedures that provide a clear understanding of operating philosophy and management policies. As stated in 13.5.1.2, administrative procedures were implemented that provide methods for preparation, review and approval of all other station

procedures including permanent procedures, temporary procedures or any procedures that might be of a transient or self-cancelling nature.

Administrative procedures are developed that provide operations shift managers and shift crews with a clear understanding of how they are to conduct plant

operations. Included are procedures that specifically describe who may

manipulate the controls of the reactor and who may operate any apparatus or

mechanism that might affect the reactivity of the reactor.

Procedures have been implemented specifying shift manning requirements which

are in accordance with the Technical Specifications. The responsibilities and

authorities of the supervising licensed personnel are delineated.

13.5-2 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK Procedures prescribe the conduct of shift operational activities including the

following:

1. Definition of the specific area where the reactor operator who is at the controls of the unit must remain.

2. Measures to control access to the Control Room.

3. Procedures for proper shift relief and turnover.

4. Procedures for the control of log and record keeping.

During station operation, the Shift Manager is responsible for ensuring that equipment control procedures are followed and properly implemented. These

procedures provide control of equipment, as necessary, to maintain personnel safety and reactor safety. To secure and identify equipment in a controlled

status, measures such as temporary bypass lines, electrical jumpers, lifted electrical leads, and temporary trip point settings are controlled by approved procedures. A log is maintained of the current status of such temporary

modifications.

Maintenance, Operations, and Site Support, are responsible for developing and implementing procedures, instructions and schedules to describe and control a

surveillance inspection program for those areas for which they are responsible.

Maintenance has developed and implemented administrative procedures that

describe and control a preventive maintenance program. These administrative procedures were written before initial station startup and provided the general rules for the development of procedures under the preventive maintenance program. This program provided for advance planning and scheduling of required

routine preventive repair and maintenance activities.

The Maintenance group has also established administrative procedures and instructions to control and document major repair and modification. Repairs or

modifications which may affect the functioning of safety-related structures, systems or components are performed in a manner to ensure quality equivalent to

that specified by the design specifications, materials specifications and inspection requirements.

The Maintenance Organization has developed and implemented administrative procedures that describe and control the installation of scaffolding and temporary equipment used in support of maintenance activities. Scaffolding and temporary equipment may be in place for long durations for repetitive use. The scaffolding and temporary equipment are installed and controlled per these procedures and typically are not reflected on plant drawings.

Administrative procedures and controls are established to ensure the reliable

performance of fire protection personnel, systems, and equipment.

13.5-3 Rev. 16 WOLF CREEK 13.5.2 STATION OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

13.5.2.1 Station Operating Procedures Operating procedures for all anticipated conditions affecting reactor safety

were written prior to initial fuel loading. The format of the station

operating procedures met the requirements of the ANSI N18.7. These procedures are grouped into the following classifications:

1. General Operating Procedures

2. Fuel Handling Procedures

3. System Operating Procedures

4. Checklist Procedures

5. Alarm Response Procedures

6. Emergency Procedures

7. Off-Normal Procedures 13.5.2.1.1 General Operating Procedures

These procedures provide guidance for integrated plant operations. They include specific steps to be performed with references to system operating procedures.

Examples of procedures that may be included in this category are given in Table

13.5-1.

13.5.2.1.2 Fuel Handling Procedures

These procedures provide guidance for fuel handling activities. They include

specific steps to be performed during the different phases of the refueling

process. Samples of procedures that may be included in this category are given in Table 13.5-2.

13.5.2.1.3 System Operating Procedures

These procedures include special steps required for operations startup, shutdown, and other appropriate instructions for the operation of systems.

13.5.2.1.4 Checklist Procedures

These procedures provide lineups and check-off sheets to support system

operating procedures. These checklists may be used independently of system operating procedures to verify system status.

13.5-4 Rev. 10 WOLF CREEK 13.5.2.1.5 Alarm Response Procedures

Each main control board annunciator has a written procedure to identify the proper action to be taken by the operator in response to the alarm. Each of these procedures include the annunciator identification and the corrective

action to be taken.

13.5.2.1.6 Emergency Procedures

The Wolf Creek Emergency Operating Procedures (EMG's) are written and are maintained in accordance with the Westinghouse Owner's Group Generic High Pressure Emergency Response Guidelines (ERG's).

Emergency Procedures are provided to guide operations to prevent or lessen the

consequences of emergency conditions. These procedures include automatic

actions that will occur in the event of an emergency, immediate operator

actions required to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an emergency; and subsequent operator actions necessary to stabilize the plant's condition.

Emergency Procedures were written to provide for a conservative course of

action on the part of the operator and are sufficiently flexible to accommodate

variations.

Examples of procedures that may be included in this category are listed in

Table 13.5-3.

13.5.2.1.7 Off-Normal Procedures The Off-Normal Procedures may be used for operating the plant or a system in an

abnormal situation or after a perturbation. These procedures include symptoms

of the condition, probable cause, automatic actions which would occur as a

result of the condition and actions the operator must perform to stabilize and/or return the plant to a normal condition. Table 13.5-4 contains examples of possible Off-Normal Procedures.

13.5.2.2 Other Procedures 13.5.2.2.1 Maintenance Procedures Maintenance or modification that may affect the functioning of safety-related structures, systems, or components is performed in accordance with applicable

codes, bases, standards, design requirements, material specifications, and inspection requirements. Maintenance of safety-related equipment is pre-planned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented

instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances (for example, skills

normally possessed by qualified maintenance personnel may not require detailed

step-by-step delineation in a written procedure). It is the responsibility of

the Manager Maintenance to implement a maintenance program for safety-related mechanical and electrical equipment. General rules for the control and administration of the maintenance program were written before fuel loading.

These general rules form the basis for developing the repair or replacement procedures at the time of failure.

13.5-5 Rev. 14 WOLF CREEK Procedures were written early in plant life for maintenance of safety-related equipment expected to require recurring maintenance. When failure of safety-

related equipment occurs, the cause is evaluated; however, since the probability of failure is usually unknown and the time and mode of failure are usually unpredictable, procedures are not generally written for repair of most equipment prior to failure. As experience is gained in operation of the plant, routine maintenance is altered to improve equipment performance and repair

procedures are written and improved as required.

A preventive maintenance schedule has been developed which describes the

frequency and type of maintenance to be performed. A preliminary schedule was

developed early in plant life and is refined and changed as experience with the

equipment is gained.

Maintenance is scheduled so as not to jeopardize the safety of the reactor.

Scheduling considers the possible safety consequences of concurrent or sequential maintenance, testing, or operating activities. Equipment required

to be operable for the mode in which the reactor exists is available, and maintenance is performed in a manner such that the license limits are not violated.

Proposed design/configuration changes to safety-related equipment that include

an evaluation per 10 CFR 50.59, will be reviewed by the PSRC to verify that the changes do not require a license amendment as required by 10 CFR Part 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.90. Off-the-shelf components are used only when the proper quality

assurance documents are available or when the required quality assurance can be

obtained by inspection and testing prior to being placed in service.

Modifications to safety-related equipment are designed and performed in accordance with applicable codes, standards, bases, design requirements, materials specifications and inspection requirements.

13.5.2.2.2 Health Physics Procedures

Detailed written and approved procedures are used by the WCGS personnel to ensure that occupational radiation exposure is maintained as low as reasonably

achievable (ALARA). It is the responsibility of the Manager Radiation Protection, under the direction of the Plant Manager to prepare and maintain the station Health Physics procedures. Careful administrative control of the use of these procedures ensures that a sound health physics philosophy, consistent with maintaining radiation exposures ALARA becomes an integral part

of station operation and maintenance. Health Physics procedures were developed for activities such as those listed in Table 13.5-5.

13.5.2.2.3 Emergency Preparedness Procedures

See Section 13.3 for a discussion of Emergency Preparedness Procedures.

13.5-6 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK 13.5.2.2.4 Chemistry Program

Chemistry and radiochemistry activities, while not intended to be controlled in the same manner as M&TE, are considered by the Operating Agent to be of such importance that a program for quality control of data is essential. The control program outlined here is applied to chemistry laboratory functions and

activities.

The intent of this program is to furnish a commitment to an ongoing Quality Program. The quality control activities described here are the minimum

acceptable.

The following aspects of quality control are applicable to a chemistry/radiochemistry laboratory:

a. Comply with established procedures.

b. Use only ACS "reagent" grade chemicals for analytical procedures unless otherwise approved by a Chemistry Supervisor.

c. Date and label reagents with definite "shelf lives,"

dispose of out-of-date reagents.

d. Frequent introduction of duplicate samples into the

actual work routine to evaluate procedural performance.

e. Calibration Program.

f. Participation in cross check programs with government agencies, contractor laboratory, and other laboratories.

g. Schedules for routine analysis, cross checks, duplicate samples, and calibration.

h. Daily Log of analyses performed.

PROCEDURES The preparation of detailed written and approved chemical and radiochemical

procedures is the responsibility of the Manager Chemistry under the direction of the Plant Manager. These procedures ensure primary and secondary chemical/

radiochemical quality, and compliance with Technical Specifications, Process Control Program, NPDES permit, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and operating procedures.

Approved chemical and radiochemical procedures include instrumentation and methods used in chemical analysis for safety-related or special scope systems.

Examples of areas covered by written and approved safety-related or special scope procedures are listed

13.5-7 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK in Table 13.5-6. In addition, sampling procedures were prepared and used for surveillance activities to satisfy Technical Specifications and for any

analysis determined by the Chemist to require them.

CHEMICALS When reagent grade chemicals are necessary to avoid potential error, the same

chemical of a lesser grade will not be present in the laboratory. Analytical procedures specify the grade of chemicals acceptable or required for each specific analysis.

SHELF LIFE Chemicals are labeled with a shelf life date and are not used after this date.

Chemicals which are obviously stable do not require a shelf life date, but the date when each chemical is received in laboratory and the yearly inspection date is clearly marked on each container. A Chemistry Supervisor or his

designee inspects these stable chemicals once a year and dispose of them when necessary. Stable chemicals are not used if the yearly inspection date has been exceeded and no inspection has been performed.

Solutions made from stock chemicals are labeled with the date prepared, the

name of the solution, concentration, the expiration date (the solution expiration date will not exceed the stock chemical expiration date), procedure number, and the preparer's initials.

DUPLICATE SAMPLES, CROSS CHECKS As a minimum, at least quarterly, analysis of known chemical species samples is required to check equipment and procedures. At least annually, analysis of

known radiochemical species samples is required to check equipment and procedures. Results, discrepancies, and resolutions are documented.

Acceptable results of the analytical observation are determined from the sample's certificate or by the Manager Chemistry.

If the results do not coincide with the results stated by an outside

organization and a duplicate sample gives the same results, Manager

Chemistry/Radiation Protection or the manager's designee evaluates the results and takes necessary corrective action.

CALIBRATION PROGRAM The following principles are important to the operation of chemistry laboratory equipment and are applicable to chemistry laboratory activities.

13.5-8 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK

a. Procedural Control Instrumentation equipment and methods used in chemistry analysis for safety-related or special scope systems are controlled in accordance with written and approved procedures or instructions. The procedures for the

calibration and control of the instrumentation and

equipment address the identification of permanent equipment, calibration techniques, calibration frequencies, maintenance control, and storage

requirements.

b. Program Requirements The calibration and control program provides for:

1. The assignment of specific calibration intervals for equipment and instrumentation and calibration procedures which specify calibration methods and instrument accuracy requirements. Equipment

included in this program and the intervals selected

are a function of the equipment types, inherent

stability and reliability, intended use, required accuracy, and other conditions which may affect calibration as determined by the Manager Chemistry Primarily, this equipment consists of instrumentation and not glassware. Records are maintained to permit a determination of calibration intervals. When the validity of an analysis is suspect, corrective actions such as reviewing or verification of the instrument calibration shall be performed.

2. The unique identification of instruments and equipment.

3. The traceability to calibration test data.

Calibration test data is recorded and kept as a QA

record.

4. Reference solutions used for calibration are

prepared from chemicals procured from nationally

recognized suppliers and procured to purities identifiable to nationally recognized standards, i.e., American Chemical Society Standards, etc.

5. The maintenance of records which indicate the

status of each item, maintenance history, calibration results, anomalies, and most recent and

next scheduled calibration dates. A system has been established to assure that equipment which is outside its calibration interval by more than 25%

is not used.

13.5-9 Rev. 24 WOLF CREEK

6. The maintenance and control of instrumentation and equipment not in use.

7. The calibration of instrumentation against standard Reference Solutions when available.

8. Instrumentation found to be out of calibration

requires an investigation to evaluate the validity of previous results and the acceptability of impacted items. Investigations are documented and

evaluate the necessity of repeating original

measurements, or calibrations to establish the

acceptability of such items. When the calibration history of an item shows it to be consistently out of calibration, the item is repaired, replaced, or

the calibration interval modified.

SCHEDULES A Chemistry Supervisor maintains the following schedules and ensures that the results are documented as necessary.

a. Routine Analysis (Sampling Schedule)

b. Cross Checks and Duplicate Samples

c. Calibration

DAILY LOG The Daily Log contains the results from all of the analyses performed, in the appropriate laboratory, in chronological order.

RADIOCHEMISTRY For radiochemistry calibration standards, certified standards traceable to NIST are used.

13.5.2.2.5 Instrument Calibration and Test Procedures

The Superintendent Instrumentation and Electrical, under the direction of the Manager Maintenance

, is responsible for assuring that procedures are prepared and implemented for proper control and periodic calibration of plant equipment to maintain accuracy within necessary limits and to confirm adequacy of

calibration frequency including test and measuring equipment. When measuring and test equipment is found to be out of calibration, an evaluation is made of the validity of previous safety-related inspection or test results.

13.5-10 Rev. 12 WOLF CREEK 13.5.2.2.6 Material Control Procedures

Procedures are provided for the proper procurement, documentation and control of safety-related materials and components necessary for plant maintenance and modification.

The procedures are sufficiently detailed to ensure that purchased materials and

components associated with safety-related structures or systems are:

1. Purchased to specifications and codes which ensure

performance at least equivalent to the original

equipment;

2. Produced or fabricated under quality control which ensures performance at least equivalent to that of the

original equipment;

3. Properly documented to show compliance with applicable specifications, codes and standards.

4. Properly inspected, identified, and stored to provide

protection against damage or misuse.

5. Properly controlled to ensure the identification, segregation, and disposal of non-conforming material.

13.5.2.2.7 Security Procedures

It is the responsibility of the Manager Security under the direction of the Plant Manager, to prepare and maintain detailed, written and approved procedures to implement the Security Plan. These procedures supplement the physical barriers and other features designed to control access to the station

and, as appropriate, to vital areas within the station. Information concerning specific design features and administrative provisions of the Security Plan is accorded limited distribution on a need-to-know basis.

13.5.2.2.8 Environmental Procedures

An Environmental Control Program has been established by the applicant to provide for periodic review of all site activities to assure that these

activities conform to environmental conditions set forth in the WCGS Licensing

documents. The Environmental group under the direction of the Manager

Regulatory Affairs is responsible for preparing the environmental procedures and directing the Environmental Control Program.
