ATTACtiMENT TO i
.1CANO39007 INTRODUCTION AP&L has implemented a formal Transient Reduction Program in response to Nuclear Operations Goals and Objectives for 1987 through 1990. The Program was. originally conceived'as a Scram Reduction Program. However, the Program was expanded to include other transients in recognition that transients without scram may also challenge safety systems, t
This Program provides a coordinated, systematic, processing and tracking method for transient reduction recommendations. The Program was initially ,
comprised of items-identified, for the most part, by AP&L. This established Program was chosen as the means to address the B&W Owner's Group Safety and Performance Improvement Program (SPIP) recommendations. It also is the mechanism for processing recommendations generated by internal organizations (e.g., through Operations Assessment evaluations) or other external organi-zations (e.g., CEOG).
The Program consists of two components. The first component, the Policy Statement, was issued in early December,1987. The Policy Statement formally directed that a program be established. The second component, the Program Document, provides the guidelines for Program implementation.

ATTACNMENT TO 1CANO39007 This Program Document is divided into four areas. First, historical data is presented to show why such a Progri.m is desirable. Second, a description of AP&L' efforts to'date is provided to show how the Program fits with existing efforts,_ The third section provides. specific guidelines to establish the duties, responsibilities, and interfaces which are used to process transient reduction related material. The final section establishes the charter for operation of the Management Review Group.

ATTACHMENT TO 1CANO39007 BACKGROUND The ability to produce electricity safely and economically is the primary goal of AP&L. Unplanned reactor trips inhibit accomplishing this goal.
Unplanned trips cost many thousands of dollars for replacement power and for increased repair costs associated with expeditious procurement and mai ntenance.- From a safety standpoint, each unplanned trip represents a challenge to safety systems and an increase in thermal, mechanical and hydraulic stresses on plant equipment. Although most reactor trips produce relatively benign consequences, the perceived safety issues associated with trips, by both regulatory agencies and the public, can cause adverse attention.
In 1984, the NRC published an analysis of the 1983 reactor trip statistics which concluded that a reduction in frequency of trips (and the potential-challenges to safety systems) should be a prime goal of each licensee. The Nuclear Utility Management and Resource Committee (NUMARC) responded to this concern by committing industry efforts to a 1985 average goal of no more than three unplanned automatic trips while critical for Units in commercial operation for three years or more. To accomplish this goal, NUMARC committed each utility to adopt practices and policies designed to reduce the number of automatic trips by taking actions including:
- In-depth and thorough follow-up on all trips;
- Identification of root causes of all automatic trips;
- Development of action plans to correct those root causes and thereby to reduce the probability of future automatic trips.

ACFTACMih4ENT TO- )
1CAf4039007 AP&L data indicate that both Units needed improvement. Table I shows the unplanned, automatic trip frequency for both Units from 1980 through 1987 ,
demonstrating that ANO performance has improved. The combination of AP&L's desire to improve performance further, and the HUMARC commitment, led AP&L to set specific trip related performance goals for 1986 through 1990. The 1986 NUHARC goal set a target of three trips per Unit. Unit 1 experienced two trips,'hus t meeting the goal. Unit 2, however, had five trips. The 1987 ANO goal called for two or less trips on ANO-1 and three or less on ANO-2.
Both Units met the goal. The AP&L goals for 1988 and 1989 were set to gradually approach the 1990 NUMARC goal. For 1990, the NUMARC and AP&L Goal is one or less trips on ANO-1 and ANO-2. AP&L believes the only way to meet these goals is to implement a program that provides corrective actions that address the root causes of reacter trips.
As stated in the Introduction, the Program has been expanded from its original' focus on trips to also address transients which may not necessarily result in-a trip since such transients can potentially have the same political and economical impacts as trips. Throughout the re-mainder of this Document, the word transient will be used, rather than
" trips and significant transients", etc. Only those transients for which a Unit Transient Report is generated by the Operations Assessment Group are addressed. These transients are defined in detail later, i-i i

'AP&L' EFFORTS TO DATE The following discussion is provided to document activity that has occurred or is occurring which= contributes to the transient reduction effort.
INPD invesiigations, as documented in INPO 85-011, Scram Reduction' Practices,. break.down scram contributors into five areas: ,
- 1 Administration r
- Maintenance
- ' Surveillance / Testing
- Operations
- Design / Hardware There are two general areas in which the AP&L efforts have been focused.
- The first is the implementation of programs .that are preventive in nature.
This involves aggressively reviewing data from a myriad of sources, understanding the synergistic relationship of this data to the five identified scram reduction areas, and implementing programs that address
.these concerns. This area attempts to address problems before they become *
. trip contributors.
t
.The second general area is the event specific analysis. This involves the performance of thorough root cause determinations following each trip and certain transients and implementation of corrective actions to eliminate contributions to trips. The effectiveness of this effort can be measured by the improvements in-trip frequency to date.

ATTACHMENT TO 1CAJ4039007 Preventive Efforts As may be expected, ' prevention' represents a very broad approach to transient reduction improvements and reacheri into every facet of nuclear plant operation. The following provides examples of the transient. reduction-measures taken at AP&L which are prevention oriented. These measures are divided into the five INP0 identified areas.
- 1. Administration
- The ANO Operations Assessment Group (OAG) provides a means for assessment of operating experiences which include system, equipment, procedural, and human factors considerations.
Information is obtained at ANO from outside sources in order to properly assess the possible impact on safe and economic operation of the plant. The OAG also provides the means of channeling appropriate information of immediate importance to the affected groups and into the training program (e.g., maintenance technician, operator, STA, and requalification).
In addition to 0AG, other groups receive and process information pertinent to the Transient Reduction Program, as part of their routine business (e.g., AN0 In-House Event Analysis, Human Perfor-mance Evaluation System, Licensing, Planning and Scheduling, etc.).
WP900001 Page 10 of 61 Rev. #2
- ATTACHMENT TO 1CANO39007 Examples of external information sources reviewed are NRC Bulletins and Notices, Vendor Information Bulletins, INPO Significant Operating Experience Reports, INPO Significant Experience Reports, and Operations and Maintenance Reminders.
Internal information sources include Transient Report .
Condition Reports, NPRDS, SIMS Reports, Licensee Event Reports, and Control Room Logs.
- Training is provided to not only meet the appropriate regulatory requirements, but also to ensure that personnel have an adequate understanding of job responsibilities and quality requirements, and have an up-to-date understanding of current operating experiences / requirements.
Training is an area of great interest to NUMARC and INPO, and, as such, has received considerable attention to ensure utilities have developed and accredited necessary programs. AP&L currently has
. ten (10) programs accredited including Operations, I&C Maintenance, Electrical Maintenance; Mechanical Maintenance; HP Chemistry, Radiological Protection, Tech Support and STA.
- At present, the predominant information source reviewed for improvement is the B&W Safety and Performance Improvement Program (SPIP) and its Recommendation Tracking System (RTS). With the completion of the SPIP effort in September 1987, this Owner's Group sponsored program approved approximately 250 recommendations for evaluation by the B&W utilities. These recommendations are WP900001 Page 11 of 61

l published in the RTS, a living document, which will be updated based on future BWOG activities. Some important modifications identified through this program were made to the ICS and MFW pump controls during the '1R7 refueling outage.
The CEOG is also formulating a scram reduction policy. Several tasks have been initiated to identify prevalent system contributors and provide a focus for joint CE-utility root cause information and data sharing. Items from the CEOG Program will be entered into this Program. Nuclear Design Services and 0AG also provide a common link between prevention analysis and event analysis. This helps to minimize the possibility of irconsistent actions by other departments and provides additional depth to the review process which is ultimately responsible 4 r selecting transient reduction activities for implementation.
- 2. Maintenance The following maintenance related activities were established to minimize the potential for inadvertent transients during maintenance activities.
-* Normal processing of job orders requires a Shift Operations Supervisor review to determine the acceptability of plant conditions for work to be performed.
WP900001 Page 12 of 61 Rev. #2

- ATTACHMENT TO-10ANO39007
- Operations-and Maintenance personnel perform, as necessary, pre-and post-maintenance and operability testing. Operations personnel and/or Scheduling personnel determine technical specification time limits for work, and identify and perform required surveillance testing after maintenance activities which correct equipment failures or which might change equipment r characteristics.
- AP&L has participated in B&W's Transient Assessment Program (TAP) since 1981. Several tasks related to preventive maintenance programs are being implemented, with special emphasis upon feedwater control and turbine generator initiated events.
- AP&L has a Planning and Scheduling Section (formerly the Work Control Center) which is responsible for scheduling maintenance activities and for detailed planning of significant or safety-related maintenance activities, and also for maintaining a detailed maintenance history for plant components. The Planning Section scopes the job to establish appropriate boundaries and to specify the technical requirements (EQ, Q, F, applicable procedures,
.etc.). The Scheduling Section determines if coordination with Operations is necessary, and maintains regular contact with Maintenance and Operations (as applicable) through the completion of the job.
- A Preventive Maintenance Improvement Program has been established to identify necessary PM checks and their frequencies.

- 3. Surveillance Testing i
- A master testing schedule has been developed and maintained. This activity will be computerized and integrated into the Planning and Scheduling activities. *
- Maintenance personnel are highly qualified and attend a wide variety of training (e.g. , vendor, systems training, skills center training,etc.).
These two activities minimize the potential for inadvertent trips ,
during surveillance tests.
- 4. Operations 1
- Operations involvement is of key importance to maintenance activities and is specifically coordinated through the Planning and Scheduling.
- - The installed Unit-specific simulators for ANO-1 and ANO-2, greatly enhance operator training. As plant modifications occur, 4 they are included in the simulator physical layout and response modeling. As an example, specific training in low power feedwater control techniques can be provided prior to startup if a significant amount of time has elapsed since the previous startup.

- 5. Desian and Hardware
- There are several mechanisms in place to identify transient related equipment failures and performance problems. Some of these are:
- Condition Reports
- Plant Engineering Action Requests
- Engineering Action Requests
- Licensee Event Reports
- Operations Assessment Group (OAG) Review of INP0 documents
- Nuclear Network Information
- NPRDS
- Utility Owners' Group Tasks WP900001 Page 15 of 61 Rev. #2
l: ATTACHMENT TO 1CANO39007
- The Station Priority Review Committee is chartered to ensure repetitive equipment problems are resolved.
- Nuclear Services (now Nuclear Operations - Design Engineering) reviewed the B&W SPIP recommendations, and with the assistance of the OAG, identified potential design modifications to the Station Priority Review Committee.
Event-Related Efforts By way of definition, event analysis is a more direct and measurable response- to transient occurrences than is prevention analysis. Specifically, this effort has as its primary goal to analyze transient data and to take corrective actions to reduce the probability of future transients and/or to improve plant performance during a similar transient. The fundamental steps required to accomplish this are: (1) comparison of actual plant performance to expected performance, (2) identification of root causes of deviations from expectations, and (3) development and implementation of action plans to address these root causes.
The OAG has the responsibility to evaluate all ANO trips and transients of greater than 100 MW to address the adequacy of operator actions and equipment performance, to prepare Unit Transient Reports, and to determine if events' or conditions at other facilities will have an impact on the safe and economic operation of ANO. (Additional definition of the scope and criteria can be found in AND Procedure 1000.38.)
WP900031 Page 16 of 61 Rev. #2
/' . ;- ' ,
ATTACHMENT TO 1CAN039007 These evaluations are accomplished procedurally by four documents: Plant Impact' Reviews (PIR) Plant Impact Evaluations (PIE), Unit Transient Reports (UTR), and Condition Reports (CRs). These are defined as follows:
Plant Impact Review (PIR)
Plant Impact Reviews are performed by the Operations Assessment Group (OAG) to determine if events or conditions that have occurred or are existing at other facilities will have any impact on the safe operation of ANO.
Examples of external information sources reviewed are NRC Notices and Bulletins, Vendor Information Bulletins, INPO Significant Experience Reports (SER), and INP0 Significant Operating Experience Reports (SOER). The review is to ascertain the applicability of these conditions and the possibility of similar events at ANO and whether they are a direct (corrective acticn will be necessary) or potential (corrective action not necessary to protect ANO from an unsafe or undesirable condition) impact. The PIR is reviewed by the OAG Superintendent.
Plant Impact Evaluation (PIE)
A Plant Impact Evaluation presents the results of a review of an initiating document (e.g. , PIR or 10A) and lists recommended corrective action to
-correct undesirable conditions discovered in the review. The PIE is performed by the OAG and reviewed by the OAG Superintendent and the General Manager, Plant Technical Support and Assessment . Corrective actions are issued through the Station Action Tracking System via the General Manager, Plant Technical Support and Assessment.

1CANO39007 This evaluation attempts to bring together the conclusions of the initial 1 review, and documents the root causes of the event stated along with ANO ,
deficiencies which could allow a similar situation.
Unit Transient Report (UTR)
This report is prepared by 0AG to explain the causes and responses of a significant reactor or secondary system transient. A reactor transient is defined as a power change greater than 10% full power in less than one minute, any unplanned reactor trip, or t. heatup or cooldown transient in excess of 100 F in one hour. A secondary system transient is defined as a power change in excess of 100 MWe in less than one minute or any unplanned turbine or feedwater pump. trip. A typical Unit Transient Report requires the collection'of a defined set of available information in order to assure reasonable assessment of the event and recommendations. Each of these i transients is reviewed by the Unit Significant Event Review Committee (SERC).
Action recommended by the SERC is included in the UTR and is issued to responsible parties via a Condition Report (CR).
The OAG also provides quarterly-(as a minimum) status reports of INP0 SOERs
-and SERs, and, on an as-needed basis, requests trend reports from the computerized scram event database. Other reports may be generated as deemed I: necessary to provide useful information to the appropriate management level.

ATTACHMENT TO 1CANO39007 There are several procedures applicable to the collection and analysis of transient data. $ome of these are:
i
- " Reactor Trip / Outage Recovery" (1102.06 & 2102.06) 1
- " Condition Reporting and Corrective Actions" (1000.104) i i
- "NRC Reporting" (106?.01)
- " Shift Technical Advisor Duties and Responsibilities" (1010.03) !
- " Operations Assessment Program" (1030.29) which is the governing procedure for the conduct of business by the OAG.
- "Significant Event Review Program" (1000.38) which provides guidance for transient review and reporting .
In addition to ANO, several General Office Sections have a roic in reducing transients, and have specific program responsibilities. Primary among these responsibilities is the function of reviewing transient-related materials received from external sources not specifically assigned to tha 0AG, and participating in industry activities.

l This computerized Tracking System has been established to achieve the following objectives: I
- a. To provide various custom reports for internal and external company use.
1
- b. To track due dates for action items.
- c. To provide a focal point for immediate status -l update of each recommendation as it progresses l through the process.
5.1.3 Transient Reduction Program Files The program files have been established to provide permanent documentation of the work activities required to resolve recommendations. These files are designed to !
provide a chronological record of events from receipt of the recommendation to final close-out. Each file is intended to provide a stand alone, independent support of the current status of each recommendation in an :
auditable form. Applicable memoranda, EAR's, -
correspondences, close-out memoranda, etc., are a permanent part of these files.
When the TRPC receives a new recommendation a Transient Reduction File is opened and a copy of the recommendation is placed in the file.

5.1.4 Due Dates Due dates will be assigned for the completion of each activity associated with a transient reduction recom-mendation. These due dates will be based on discussions !
with the cognizant department. In some cases, the l recommendation will need to be factored into existing workloads via a forms 1 scheduling process (e.g. the
- Master Engineering Schedule) and therefore may not be ,
assigned a due date immediately. The assignment of a ;
due date should be made as quickly as possible. Once these dates are set, any extensions will be justified 4 in writing to the TRPC. This will ensure that the extension is documented and is based on conscientious decision rather than oversight.
- If action on an item is complete and the recommendation is awatin0 MRG review, the date of the next MRG meeting wiil be the new due date. The TRPC will provide docu- :

5.2 Initial Recommendation Evaluation for Applicability The TRPC will review and analyze new recommendations. This analysis will include review of items such as SAR, Technical Specifications, system descriptions, etc., as well as conduct l conversations with cognizant groups (i.e., Mechanical Engineering, I- I&C, Operations, Maintenance, etc.) and others as necessary.
i Based on the results of this analysis the TRPC will make a ,
determination as to which of the following categories (Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2 or 5.2.3 as applicable) the recommendation will apply: '

!' 5.2.1 Applicable Based on the above analysis (Step 5.2) the TRPC determines that the recommendation is applicable (i.e., the situation i'
or equipment recommended to improve exists at either or both Units).
5.2.1.1 Prioritization The primary objective of prioritization is to utilize the expenditure of resources in the areas which will yield the greatest return on the reduction of Transients. The TRPC will generate a priority (by utilizing various inputs such as AP&L's computerized Transient Data Base, etc.) to determine the most prudent order in which recommendations will be reviewed. The TRPC will proceed as described by step 5.3.
5.2.2 Not Applicable / Superseded / Rejected Based on the above analysis (Step 5.2) the TRPC determines that the recommendation is Not Applicable (i.e. the situation or equipment recommended to improve does not exist at either Unit, etc.), Superseded (one recommendation intent is fully encompassed by another recommendation, etc.) or Rejected (benefits gained do not justify effort, etc.).

= Arkansas Power and Light Company has a stated objective to significantly reduce the number of transients and plant trips which occur at Arkansas Nuclear One. This objective has been established to further improve the safe and economic performance of that facility. To achieve this objective AP&L has undertaken a major program, called the Transient Reduction Program, which will identify, evaluate and implement a number of administrative, operational and design changes to reduce the likelihood of a plant transient. The core of actions to be considered will come from the B&W Owners Group Safety and Performance Improvement Program (BWOG SPIP). The initial objectives were to evaluate these actions for applicability to Unit 1- by June 1988, and to implement those actions that were applicable by the end of 1R9. All of the issued recommendations were evaluated by June 1.
Implementation of the applicable recommendations, however, will be governed by the available resources. i The Transient Reduction Program Directive A4.601 establishes why AP&L has the Program, and makes known senior management's commitment to the Program.
It further calls for the development of a Program Document, NP-40, to describe the background for the Program and provide for the upper tier guidelines including specific duties, responsibilities and interfaces. This supplement to the Program Document establishes the Management Review Group. Membership l .in this group shall be approved by the Vice President, Nuclear and should I
represent a cross-section of the major Nuclear Departments. This approval I
shall be documented.
The Charter of the Transient R.? duction Program Management Review Group is to:
- 1. Provide review and concurrence of decisions made concerning the applicability of Transient Reduction Program Recommendations to Arkansas Nuclear One. When necessary, this may include clarifying the intent of a recommendation or resolving problems in defining the scope of AP&L's response to a recommendation.

- 2. Provide review and concurrence that transient reduction closeout actions are technically correct, fully address the recommendation, and are adequately documented for later audit and referral.
- 3. Periodically review the status of the program to' ensure that resources are being dedicated properly to meet AP&L's commitments.
~This also includes providing input to the SPRC on the program's -
schedules and goals to aid in setting appropriate priorities.
In order to implement t'eh above charter, the Management Review Group will review documents provided to-it by the Transient Reduction Program Coordinator. The MRG will review recomiendations considered by the TRPC
- prior to their closeout regardless of the closeout category (i.e. ,
closed / operable, closed /not applicable, closed / rejected, closed / superseded or closed /not evaluated).
The MRG will meet periodically to approve or reject the closeout actions.
The meetings will require participation of at least four members. The decisions of the MRG shall reflect the views of at least 2/3 of the group l present. The Superintendent, Operations Assessment Group shall serve as the 1
l Chairman and the TRPC shall serve as the Secretary for the group. The l following standard meeting agenda will be used:
l-
- 1. Program status - Review of overall status.
' 2. Review of new items - Delineation of any items added to the program since the last meeting.
- 3. Review of changed items - Review of items which changed reporting.
