SECTION 13 Revision 26USAR 13.1MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORTPage 1 of 1SECTION 13PLANT OPERATIONSI/kab13.1Summary DescriptionXcel Energy and Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation haveexperienced plant personnel that are qualified to perform plant operations andplant maintenance that are necessary for safe operation of the plant.Training programs are scheduled and implemented to maintain sufficient licensedoperators and a competent supporting technical staff. Plant activities are conducted in accordance with Quality Assurance, Emergency, and Security Plansand written procedures implemented in response to regulatory requirements.Inspection and testing are conducted in accordance with a program which meets regulatory requirements.01197746

Revision 26USAR 13.3MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORTPage 1 of 1SECTION 13PLANT OPERATIONSI/kab13.3Personnel Experience and Training13.3.1Experience of Initial Plant Supervisory PersonnelSenior Operator licensed personnel from the Pathfinder Nuclear Plantorganization were assigned to supervisory positions for the Monticello plant during initial plant operation. All participated in the pre-operational testing, fuel loading, startup testing and operation of the Pathfinder plant.13.3.2Experience and Training of Plant and Site StaffMinimum qualifications and training requirements for plant staff (i.e., operating personnel) are contained in training programs approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. An NRC approved training program is one that is based on the systems approach to training (SAT) and has been accredited by the National Nuclear Accrediting Board (NNAB) (Reference 13 and Reference14).Each member of the plant and site staff SHALL meet or exceed the minimumqualifications of ANSI N18.1-1971 (Reference 25) for comparable positions.Exceptions to these standards are documented in the Technical Specifications.Training enhancements required by NUREG-0737, item I.A.2.1.4, are in place aswell as training in mitigating core damage required by Item II.B.4.1(Reference 2).13.3.3Personnel BehaviorThe "Fitness for Duty Program" applies to all nuclear generation personnel, including all badged contract workers and craft union personnel hired by XcelEnergy, NSPM, or its contractors. It recognizes that fatigue, stress, illness andtemporary physical impairments, as well as drug and alcohol abuse, can have a negative effect on a worker's fitness and jeopardize safe operations.All personnel badged for unescorted access to the plant are subject to randomdrug and alcohol testing, and are trained to be observant of co-worker or visitorbehavior that may indicate a fitness for duty concern. Supervisors are trained tobe observant of employee behavior that might indicate excessive fatigue or unhealthy behavior patterns and to bar employees from working if they appear unfit for duty. The NSPM Fitness for Duty program meets all of the requirements of 10CFR26 (see Reference 24).0119774601197746 SECTION 1313.413.4.1

These records include:a.Startup test procedures. This is the final, as run, test procedure, includingapprovals and data sheets.b.Pertinent recorder charts and log sheets.c.Test reports - This includes any reports prepared by NSP, GE or Bechtel.13.5.2Routine OperationOperating, maintenance and testing records and logs are kept on file inaccordance with the Technical Specifications, Federal Regulations and NSP policy.13.5.3Abnormal OperationIn the event of any unusual, unexplained, or potentially unsafe occurrence, appropriate members of the plant staff will be assigned to conduct an investigation and prepare a report. Instructions for conducting investigation and the report format are outlined in plant administrative procedures. A complete file of investigation reports is maintained.13.5.4Reporting RequirementsReports will be submitted to the Commission to satisfy the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, and the Monticello Technical Specifications.13.5.5RadiographsMicrofilmed Radiographs of piping system welds meet the requirements of ASME Section III, Paragraph NCA-4134.17, Quality Assurance Records (Reference 46) and ASME Section XI, Paragraph 1WA-6320, Reproduction andMicrofilming (Reference 47 and 15).FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTPAssoc Ref:SR:2yrsNFreq:USAR-MANARMS:USAR-13.05Doc Type:Admin Initials:Date:9703 SECTION 1313.613.6.113.6.2

Early operatoractions taken in accordance with the EOPs enhance the ability to mitigate the consequences of events. Should the operator not take actions immediately, the plant will remain within the margins established by the design basis analysisbecause the automatic plant systems will still respond as designed.FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE ONLYResp Supv:CNSTPAssoc Ref:SR:2yrsNFreq:USARMANARMS:USAR13.07Doc Type:Admin Initials:Date:9703 SECTION 1313.8
