PURPOSE _

1, l' 'The purpose of this procedure is to define the requirements

, for ' independent verification of correct performance of operating activities. This procedure is applicable to systems important to ncelear safety when such systems are removed from service for maintenance or testing, when temporary modifications are made to such systems, or when such systems are returned to service.

Activities such as removing equipment from service, surveillance testing, and making temporary modifications are conducted in accordance with written procedures which are intended to assure that the activities are performed

-correctly and that necessary systems and equipment-important to nuclear safety are available to perform their safety function in accordance with Technical Specification requirements. In order to provide additional assurance (over and above that provided by the procedural control discussed above) that systems are properly returned to serviced, an independent verification of these ' activities will be done when functional tests to prove operability cannot be performed. Independent verification will generally not be performed when doing so would result in significant radiation exposure.

2.0 DEFINITIONS 2.1 None required 3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 Responsibilities will be delineated in the specific procedures or in applicable procedural requirements.

4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 Requirements for Independent Verification During Removal from Service for Maintenance er Testing 4.1.1 When systems important to nuclear safety are removed from service for maintenance or testing, independent verification shall be performed to the extent necessary to assure that the proper system has been removed from service, .and not some other system or train which is still required to be in service.

4.1.2 Independent verification is normally performed by independently checking the tagging, if applicable, although indirect means such as observation of indicators and status lights may be used.

4.1.3 Independent verification will be done prior to starting work by a qualified person. This person need not be licensed.

4,1.4 Dccumentation of this verification will be accomplished by the Shift Supervisor entering the name of the person ,

~ ~

performing the verification and time on the originating '

, document requiring the system to be removed from service.

The individual performing the verification is responsible for ' informing the Shift Supervisor as to when the verification is complete. ,

4.1.5 Any part.or all of the independent verification of the removal of a system from service may be waived by the Operating Supervisor if the verification required an entry into an Excessive Radiation Area that would not otherwise be made. The waiving of the independent verification will be documented by the Operating Supervisor so indicating on the document requiring the system to be removed from service.

4.1.6 Independent verification shall be performed prior to 4

starting a maintenance or testing activity on a nuclear safety system that is removed from service. This verification should be performed as soon as possible after removing the system from service and shall be performed no later than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> after the removal is complete.

4.1.7 The above procedure for independent verification of activities during removal from service of systems important to nuclear safety is in addition to procedural requirements, (example Reference 5.1 or 5.2).

4.2 Requirements for Independent Verification During Temporary f

Modifications 4.2.1 Temporary modifications are performed and independently verified in accordance with Administrative Procedure AP-A-

. This procedure provides the details of the independent verification for installation and removal of temporary modifications.

4.3 Requirements for Independent Verification When Returning Systems to Service After Maintenance or Testing (other than Surveillance Testing) 4.3.1 When a system important to nuclear safety is returned to service from maintenance, a surveillance test is first performed if a Technical Specification operability requirement is involved. Therefore, the requirement for independent verification when returning a nuclear safety system to service after maintenance or testing is satisfied by the independent verification requirements in Section 4.4 of this procedure (Independent Verification When Returning Equipment to Service Following Surveillance Testing) .

4.4 Reqairements for Independent Verification When Returning Equipment to Service Following Maintenance or Testing 4.4.1 When a system important to nuclear safety is returned to service following maintenance or testing, the applicable Surveillance Test Procedure will provide the final alignment

. *l

, requirements and/or required the test personnel to obtain

, specific alignment requirenents from the on-shift Operating

. Supervisor . Control Room; all of the above alignment

. requirements must be independently verified. Only those-valves, dampers, breakers or switches affected by the test need to be verified. In addition, the removal of jumpers installed in accordance with the Surveillance Test Procedure will be verified.

4.4.2 Independent verification need not be. performed if all equipment irwolved in the activity can be proven to be in their correct alignment by functional testing without adversely affecting the safety of the plant or if the independent verification would require entry into an Excessive Radiation Area. The waiving of the independent verification will be the responsibility of the Shift Supervisor. He will document his waiving of the independent verification.

4.4.3 Independent verifications will be performed by a qualified individual. This individual may be a qualified non-licenced operator, a licensed operator or a certified individual from the group responsible for performing the Surveillance Tr.st Procedure.

4.4.4 Independent verification will be docunented by the _ lgnature of the qualified individual.

4.4.5 Independent verification should be performed as soon as possible and shall be performed no later than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> after '

the testing is complete.

4.5 Applicability of Independent Verification Requirements 4.5.1 The independent verification requirements discussed above apply only when the plant is in (or about to enter) an operating mode when the affected nuclear safety system is required to be operable. For example, during an outage, it would not be required to independently verify valving changes on a system which was-not required to be operable, provided that the final system alignment was independently verified before the plant was returned to service.

Shift Technical Advisor Response Union, Electric will have a Shift Technical Advisor (STA) available onsite for each operating shift to report to the Control Room in an advisory capacity when the reactor is in modes 1-4.

The STA will have a bachelor's degree in engineering or related science which includes or is supplemented to include sixty (60) semester hours of colleg e level education in mathematics, reactor physics, chemistry, and reactor control theory or a high school' diploma and the foregoing 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> educational requirement. The STA shall also have one year of experience at a nuclear power plant including six months cnsite at the time the STA is required on shift.

Nuclear power plant experience is time associated with:

4 preoperational and startup testing activities; military, non-stationary, propulsion or production nuclear plants; reactor i

simulator training, or on-the-job training.

The training program for STA's will include: training in plant systems; a course in mitigating core damage; and specific training in the response and analysis of the plant for transients and accidents utilizing a SNUPPS simulator. A retraining and requalificaiton program will be develope 3 ninety (90) days prior to fuel load.

The requirement for the STA to be in addition to the normal shift complement is accepted as an interim NRR staff position. When the Commission's delibrations are concluded and the requirements for eliminating the STA posiiton have been established, we fully expect to eliminate this interim commitment.

ITEM 7 Operations Personnel Ptrticipation in Hot Functional Testing I

Union' Electric Response Operations personnel will participate in preoperational testing to the maximum extent consistent with completion of necessary training.

Not all tect manipulations will be perforined by Operations personnel; for example, scheduled preoperational tests will not be deferred because the Operations Department cannot supply the required numbers of people. However, Operations personnel will be assigned to carry out all test manipulations for the major system integrated tests, in particular, the hot functional tests. Operating procedures will be evaluated through use during preoperational tecting by U.E. Startup and Operations personnel. This effort will refine and where necessary, correct the permanent plant operating procedures prior to their use later in the plant startup evolution.

Qualifications

~

Union Electric Response At present, Union Electric has thirty-four positions identified 'for licensed individuals. Seventeen will be licensed at the senior reactor' operator level and seventeen will be licensed at the' reactor opera or level. This excludes at least four additional senior reacts,r operator license holders in higher staff positions. The number of seventeen in each of the two reference positions was predicated on a basic assumption of two individuals per shift, and staffing for a total of six shifts. The fifth shift provides for vacation relief and sickness. The sixth shift provides for re-training. Assuming some losses to attrition and failure to license, we have adjusted the number of positions upward to seventeer..

The selection criteria and training provided to fill these positions should be noted. There are two other positions in the line of promotion to reactor operator. They are: Assistant Equipment Operator and Equipment Operator. All personnel undergo a rigorous selection program prior to their qualifying for the position of Equipment Operator. This consists of a basic mathematics and science skills test coupled with a stress reaction test to predict the individuals ability to funciton well under stressful stituaitonn.

These tests coupled with an acceptable physical examination are required before an individual is considered for training in any of these positions. The training program consists of a mathematics and science refresher program followed by an in-depth course in reactor theory 2 This program presently consists of 12 weeks of full-time classroom training, referred to as Phase I. Phase II follows, which provides system training. Those personnel entering the licensing program continue on to Phase III, simulator program taught on our Callaway Plant simulator. Following Phase III for the license candidates and Phase II for the Equipment Operators, a Phase V is offered which consists of a plant familiarization program designed to relate the individual to physical arrangements within the plant proper. To date, 36 personnel have been certified out of 37 who have taken the examination. This success rate fortifies our confidence that the screening process is effective and that those selected for training are likely to be certified and ultimately licensed.

Two remaining factors must be considered in judging the reasonableness of the number of personnel budgeted for license l positions. The first deals with a review of the position of i

Equipment Operator. Each person in this position has undergone the

same selection criteria and has received the same training as a l license candidate with the exception of the simulator program. In fact, two of our Equipment Operators have already been certified at the reactor operator level and yet are still Equipment Operators.

This convinces us that the Equipment Operator is in fact ready to

. step in to be licensed in a very short period of time. The second l factor to be considered is the availability of a simulator at the plant site. This will be placed in service in early 1982 and will provide an advanced tool for operators.

. 1 I

i l

The screening process, our training program with its demonstrated-success rate, the availability of an on-site simulator _for developing

- qualified operators, and the " pipeline" provided by the Equipment

' Operator and Assistant Equipment Operator positions to fill vacancies

- in the licensed operator ranks, convince us that the currently ,

budgeted number of license candidates is adequate. '

. ITEM 14 Training for Off-Site Technical Support Engineers Union'E'lectric Response Union Electric provides tra'ining and indoctrination sessions for all newly hired engineers. New engineering employees attend Engineering Orientatior. sessions of ten (10) days which provide an overview of the ent' ire' Union Electric System, its various organizations, and their operation. Since engineers are considered members of management they are also scheduled to receive two (2) weeks of supervisory training through the Basic Management program. The technical support engineers who report to the Manager of Nuclear Engineering in the Nuclear Function receive training and indoctrination in the Union Electric Quality Assurance Program, in their job related procedures, and in specific work related areas as needed. Additional training when needed is through participation in seminars, workshops, and courses offered by groups such as The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Edison Electric Institute, the Electric Power Research Institute, the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations, and the American Nuclear Society.

Offerings through university programs, Westinghouse and other vendor groups, and various consultants have also been utilized for training in specific areas. Union Electric is-currently reviewing its training for offsite support engineers and is committed to formalizing its efforts in this area, and to expanding the scope of a formal training program. Currently under consideration is the continued use of the Westinghouse PWR Information Course; participation in the Westinghouse Station Nuclear Engineering Course as needed; and selected training sessions on the Engineering Simulator. All engineers in Nuclear Engineering will receive training in the Callaway Security Training Program, the Radiation 4

Protection Program, and other key ple.nt areas as needed.

This formalized training program will also include elements to keep the engineers current in the various codes, standards, plant modifications, pertinent LER events, and general industry updates.

,- I. INTRODUCTION Recent incidents at nuclear power units has demonstrated the need for comprehensive .aining of technicians. The purpose of this document is to prescribe the guidelines necessary to upgrade their performance and to assure the continual expertise of theknstrument and control techniciansk }

For the purpose of +.his document, the term " Chemistry Technician" and

" technician" are used to describe those persons within the unit staff who sample and analyze unit chemistry and prescribe chemical controls and precautions. Regardless of their position title (s) within the utility organiza-tion, this document pertains to those personnel who perform the duties described above.

t I

~

Additionally, two levels of technicians have been defined for the purpose of establishing curriculum, scope, comptencies, and qualifications. The defined levels pertain to tasks and responsibilities of technicians rather than discrete organizational positions and the application of these guidelines must be in the f _

s' ame manner.

L- R These guidelines are only a segment in the development of comprehensive ,

training programs for all nuclear power unit personnel. This document will inter-relate with simdar INPO guidelines such as those which pertain to Instructor Certification and General Employee Tiaining as well as others to W

T be developed in the future. Such inter-relationships will be delineated within C C""

each INPO guideline.

_. The fundamental approach to these guidelines is performance-based trainir.;;.

~

That is, the result of training efforts recommended herein is the demon-strable proficiency of the knowledge and skills necessary in quality perform-ance of the tasks within the scope of the technician's responsibility. Mariy of the requirements of these guidelines may be met by the education, training,

. experience 2nfcompetencies presently held by the individual technicians.

However, the implementation of this guidelines requires the demonstration of the assumecLpreseint knowledge and skills to ascertain the threshold of any .

and all needed training.

The course material outlined in this document, when taught in a meanirgful and comprehensive manner, will meet the course goal. Approximate hours I r

are provided for most topics and are based on a best estimate of the time I

.eeded to achieve the desired level of training. Actual hours may vary 4 somewhat with the method of instruction, type of ur.it r ithe trainees for r C "l3 I

whom training is provided.

N The method of instruction is the variable which may have the most CY 7 %u significant impact on the topical time allotments. The recommended numbers of hours, when not specifically prescribed, are based on lecture- g type instruction. Some training departments may choose alternate modes of material presentation such as individualized self-study. It is the responsi- c-1 i

bility of the instructional staff to assure that the course content and the time

.. Q l alloted for material presentation meets the int nr ot this course objective, C C":

IV. Technical Training Levels l l

The cour.<e material is divided to accomodate two technical training levels:

Level One corresponds to those technicians whose duties include sampling and analysis of non-safety related and non-contaminated unit components and systems 3 Additionally, Level One technicians calibrate, standardize and #~

maintain the instruments associated with the analysis of nut;-safetv related and non-contaminated unit components and systems. -

Level Two corresponds to those technicians whose duties include ~ surveillance sts, sampling and analysis and prescription of chemistry controls of all safety md non-safety related and all contaminated or potentially contam- I i

inated components and systems. Additionally, Level Two technici$ns 4

calibrate, standardize and maintain instruments associated with the analysis of safety and non-safety related and all contaminated as potentially C contaminated unit components and systems.

I Ihe establishment of two levels is intended to distinguish those who work on safety related and contaminated equipment and, thus require additional t i training, from those who perform tasks not involving such additional exper-tise.

w These guidelines require the trainee to demonstrate skill and knowledge i 1

proficiency prior to assuming responsibility for tasks which involve such expertise. Additionally, it is required that the Level Two trainee have m demonstrated proficiency in all Level One topics.

V. Lev;l One Training Program -_ -.

A. Comoetencies Recuired For Satisfactory Training Typical tasks of the Level One technician are the determining of correct sample points, the sampiing preparation and ana'/ sis of 'such samples, the calibration, standardization and use of analytical instru-

- ments within a nuclear power unit, and the determination and prescrip-tion of chemical controls. The performance of these tasks also requires ._ _

writtea and oral communications skills. Satisfactory training as a Level One technician requires demonstratable competency in these and associated tasks and skills. The guidelines within this document prescribe methods of competency development and measurement. ,

B. Attributes Recuired for Program Entry I-

1. Educanon: i These guidelines do not recommend educational requirements exceeding high school diploma or equivalent in that formal I education in itself does not relate directly to task competency.
2. Exoerience:

W I_ _

In that the Level One technician is considered a hire-in position I

and since 'he/she does not work on safety-related equipment systems, there are no experience requirements for the position.

W The experience gained by the technician with performance of W' Level One tasks is considered preparatory for advancement to m QC LevelTwo. I f'~~Y""""1

3. Physical:

The following criteria are required:

a. Natural or corrected near-distance visual acuity such that the individual is capable of ree. ding 3-1 letters on a standard l

. Jaeger test or equivalent.' i l

Color vision such that the individual 1: capable of b.

distinguishing and differentiating contrast between common

colors.

c. Physique, motor power, range of motion and dexterity to allow ready access to and safe execution of assigned duties.

C. Training Program Content The material outlined in this document falls within five major categories. Each category will be presented in detail. Appendix A, , I

, " Chemistry Technician Training Guidelines," delineates 4he topics and recommended number of hours per topic for both Level One and Level r 3 Two technicians. Retraining on certain topics is also delineated in (C:=3 Appendix A.

General Technical Training (GTT):

1.

{ j Topics which fall within this category provide the technician with generic technical knowledge in subject matter pertinent to the I 1 sciences of nuclear power plants. The intent of this training is to familiarize the trainee with the fundamental technical aspects of

. assigned jobs and coincidentally provide a basis for the advanced,. W unit-specific topics within the subsequent category. T C3 -

W i

Since General Technical Training topics are generic in nature, it.._______1 is not necessary that they be presented by either unit or utility instructors. Colleges, technical, trade, vendor and/or military schools otten provide satisfactory training in these topics. Add-itionally, these topics lend themselves to various modes of pre-

. sentation such as lecture-based and/or individualized self- study.

Many of the topics require lab or hands-on exercises to relate theory to practical application of the subject matter. Those ,

subject which regtice such exercises are marked with a pound sign

(#).

Knowledge topics, Basic Physics, lend themselves to written

. examinations such as essay questions or problems which regt$1re I I

the trainee to demonstrate knowledge of concepts and details. -

Skill topics, such as sampling techniques and sample preparation  !

r lend themselves to demonstration of those skills in actual or (C:::l3 simulated conditions in which the technicians perform their actual N

tasks. In both cases the performance evaluation criteria must be stringent enough to assure the cognizant individual that the [

technician is capable of performing assigned duties in a skillful W

~

I i and responsible manner. The individual's proficiency meastTe-N ment must be criteria referenced rather than relative to the performance of the other trainees. In this manner of evaluation, W the trainee with either pass or fail each topic. Should tha trainee T CC fail a particular topic, the subject matter must be repeated, followed by a performance evaluation until the student passes the y CC

Unit-Specific Technical Training topics require instructors who have in-depth 1 knowledge and ex7::rience with the instruments and equipment which they are instructing. Such te<hnical expertise is often t.vailable from vendors and can be satisfactorily provided either directly to the unit technicians' or to a utility instructor who subsequently instructs the technicians. Additionauy, these topics lend themselves to various modes of presentation such as

, lecture-based and/or individualized self-study. All of the topics require lab or hands-on exercises to relate theory to practical application of the subject matter.

Knowledge topics, such ?s the purpose, use, and principals of operation of a specific device, lend themselves to written examinations such as essay F

questions which require the trainee to demonstrate knowledge of concepts 1 --

and det " 3 kill topics, such as methods of calibration and standardization and techniques of analysis using a specific device, lend themselves to demon-C=3 strations of those skills in actual or simulated conditions in which the technicians perform their tasks. In both cases the performance evaluation F criteria must be stringent enough to assure the cognizat individual that the technician is capable of performing assigned duties in a skillful and W responsible manner. The individuals' proficiency measurement must be , ,

criteria referenced rather than relative to the' performance ci the other trainees. In this manner of evaluation the trainee will either pass or fail each l topic. Should the trainee fail a particular topic, the subject matter must be repeated, followed by a performance evaluation until the trainee passes the C evaluation or it is determined he/she is incapable of passing. If the latter occurs, these guidelines require the technician to be removed from the T oc responsibility of performing tasks which require expertise in the failed ,

subject matter. (CCD , "

j While it is impracticable to instruct each type of device manufactured by each vendor within a specific unit, it is practicable and achievable to instruct 1

major product lines manufactured by each major vendor. Additionally,, the types of numbers of devices varies from unit to unit. Consequently; specific hours of instruction in Unit-Specific Technical Training topics are not prescribed. However, it is the responsibility of the cognizant individual to develop and measure trainee expertise commensurate with assigned duties and responsibilities within his/her unit.

The following is a list of required subjects and corresponding topics for the category of Unit-Specific Technical Training. Also included is the objective for the subject matter. Appendix B, " Topic . Descriptions", describes the r

recommended U.S.T.T subject matter. The asterisk (*) indicates that I instruction should be sufficient to assure in-depth and detailed trainee x knowledge in the subject matter. The pound-sign (#) indicates that r lab / hands-on time should be sufficient to assure practical application of the L -

3. Unit-Soecific Systems Training (U.S.S.T)

Topics which fall .within this category provide trainee familiarity with the ,

l electrical, mechanical and I & C systems within a unit and the relation.and interactions of the systems. In plants which have common systems'between units, the interactions of the units must be presented also. The intent of thia l

category is to make the trainee aware of the purpose, design, modes of operation and dynamics of the systems and system components. Unit-specific Systems Training topics lend themselves to experts in all aspects of plant systems and their characteristics. Therefore, it is recommended that such topics be presented by the utility's on-site instructors. Additionally, these topics lend themselves to various modes of instruction such as lecture-based or individualized self-study.

I" I

This category consists entirely of knowledge topics and therefore lends itself to written examinations such as essay questions which require the trainee to C ~ """3 demonstrate knowledge of unit design, layout and modes of unit operation.

De performance evaluation criteria must be stringent enough to assure the p _

cognizant individual that the technician is aware of the unique environment (<

5. Non-Technical Train; ig (NTT)

Topics which fall within this category provide the trainee familiarity with the f

concepts and practices of Communications Skills. The intent of this category I is to indoctrinate the trainee in the non-technical aspects of his/her job. 2 Non-Technical Training requires instructors who are familiar with the Q behavioral sciences involved in the subject matter. Such expertise is often N available from corporate management training departments or local colleges <

6-and/or universities. Additionally, these topics lend themselves to various "1J~l [~

modes of instruction such as lecture-based and/or individualized self-study. t Non-Technical Training consists of skill topics which lend themselves to demonstration of those skills in simulated conditions in which the technicians W

Q actually perform their tasks. The performence criteria must be stringent C' enough to assure the cognitive individual that the technician is capable of performing assigned duties in a skillful and responsible manner. The 7c, c 1 J

T to familiarize the trainee with the principles of operation and QC methods of calibration, standardization and use of the ipecific analysis instruments and associated equipment within the unit T cc he/she works.

M

Unit-Specific Technical Training topics require instructors who have in-depth knowledge and experience with the instruments r.nd equipment which they are instructing. Such technical expertise is often available from vendors and can be satisfactorily provided either directly to the unit technicians or to a utility instructor who subsequently instructs the technicians. Additionally, these topics lend themselves to various modes of presentation such as

~

lecture-based and/or individualized self-study. All of the topics -

require lab or hands-on exercises to relate theory to practical application of the subjet matter.

Knowledge topics, such as the purpose, use, and principals of

~'

I operation of a specific device, lend themselves to written exarbl- I

. nations such as essay questions which require the trainee to demonstrate knowledge of concepts and details. Skill topics, such '

C

.as methods of calibration and standardization and techniques of l'r .

analysis using a specific device, lend themselves to demonstra- ,

tions of those skills in actual or simulated conditions in which the technicians perform their tasks. In both cases the performance W evaluation criteria must be stringent enough to assure the cogni- g ,

zant individual that the technician is capable of performing assigned duties in a skillful and responsible manc.er. The individ-W

' uah proficiency measurement must be criteria referenced rather -

7 i

~t han relative to the performance of the other trainees. In this O' ,

manner of evaluation the trainee will either pass or fail each f-topic. Should the trainee fail a particular topic, the subject Q<

e repeated, followed by a performance evaluation until the trainee passe.s the evaluation or it is determined he/she is incapable of passing., If the latter occurs, these guidelines require the tech-nician to be removed from the responsibility of perforniing tasks which require expertise in the failed subject matter.

While it is impracticable to instruct each type of device manufac-

'/ .

tured by each vendor within a specific unit, it is practicable and achievable to instruct major product lines manufactured by cach major vender. Additionally, the types of numbers of devices varies from unit to t .... Consequently, specnic hours of instruc-tion in Unit-specific Technical Training topics are not prescribed.

3. Departmental Procedure Training (D.P.T.) .

The topic which falls within this category provides the trainee familiarity with the procedures for the activities ar d policies of his/her department. The intent of this category is to indoctrinate the trainee on procedural purpose and objetives, the need for V strict ' procedural adherence, methods and limitations "of [ q temporary p'rocedure changes and the actual performance of the ,

. l VII. Trainee Evaluation The quality of training programs, course content and instructional mode is best evaluated by the terminal behavior of the trainee. Recalling that.the objective of these guidelines is to ensure that unit chemistry technicians possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their tasks, the ideal measurement of program effectiveness is to require demonstration of those skills and areas of knowledge. Therfore, it is required that trainee perform-ance be evaluated at the conclusion of each topic of instruction. _

With respect to the hiring-in criteria and the present skills and knowledge of _,

chemistry technicians as well as the efficiency of.the application of this guideline, a vehicle is provided to exempt qualified personnel from attending specific presentations. ' Individuals considered for exemption must demon- [

I strate the same level of expertise in each topical area as the trainees who have received the instruction. In this manner, lessons can be challenged by means of an entrance examination or skill demonstration. O

VIII. Retraining Program While many subjcets and topics described in these guidelines remain rel-atively unchanged for extensive periods, others change quite often. Addition-ally, some skills and knowledge remain current through continual use and application while others degrade through lack of use. Therefore, it is obvious

, that Chemistry technicians must receive retraining in portions of this subject matter to maintain expertise. The purpose of this section is to prescribe re-training criteria and recommend methods of achieving them.

Chemistry technician training subject matter consists of both knowledge and skill topics. Knowledge topics such as Mechanical systems require , biennial written examinations similar to those at the conclusion of the original s . I training. The performance evaluation criteria must be stringent enough to L

/

assure the cognizant individual that the technician is capable of performing e::f assigned duties in a skillful and responsible manner. The individuais' r -

proficiency measurement must be criteria referenced rather than relative to (C""=D "

the performance of the other trainees. In this manner of evaluation, the [  %

trainee will either pass or fail. Should the trainee fall a particular topicai C:::<2== _

area of the examination (s), retrainlDg_in_that_ topic must be_ performed as soon ~l J1 T as practicable.__In the period between the time of failure and the time of i i retraining, the technician must be reileved from the responsibility of l -

performing tasks which require expertise in the , failed subject matter. Vl l

Recommended modes of retraining areither lecture-based ek individualized -

i Ti self-study. Subsequent to the retraining, a performance examination must be OC administered. Such an examination should be0 similar to the requalification examination but consist of different qtistions for the T

oC (CC"3 E

l same subject matter. Should the technician fail the evaluation, retraining and re-evaluation must continue urtil he/she passes the performance evalua-tion. Should the trainee centMue to fail retraining performance examina-tions, it is recommended that the immediate supervisor counsel him/her to determine the cause for such failure and provide appropriate remedies.

Skill topics, such as calibration, standardization and operation of analysis Instruments require continual performance evaluation. Additionally, indivi-duals who are rgsponsible for infrequently performed tasks must be evaluated for task proficiency on a biennial basis._ Areas of marginal or poor performance must be documented and retraining must follow as soon as N practicable. In the period between observed poor performance and time of _ I" L-retraining, the technician must be relieved from the responsibility of

. cc performing tasks which require expertise in the pertinent subject matter.

The recommended mode of retraining is tutored practice sessions. Followin the retraining, a performance examination must be administered. It is --

N recommended that the examination (s) consist of demonstrations of. the pertinent skills in actual or simulated conditions in which the technician L

{

I

. performs assigned actual tasks. The performance criteria must be stringent Ml I I enough to assure the cognizant individual that the technician is capable of performing assigned duties in a skillful and responsible manner. The indiva-1 duals' proficiency measurement must be criteria referenced rather than W relative to the performance of the other trainees or the previous performance of the retrained individual. In this manner, the technician will J either pass or fall. Should the technician fail the evaluation, retraining and q ,

SNUPPS-C

- Fire Protection Systems 9.5.1 Fire / Protection System The Fire Protection System (FPS) is designed to detect fires, protect the plant against damage from fire, minimize hazards to personnel, and reduce property loss. This system description relates only to components of the site FPS outside the Standard Power Block.

.9.5.l.1 Design. Basis 9.5.1.1.1 Safety Design Basis Safety Design Basis One - The FPC is designed to prevent, detect and extinguish fircs.that could indirectly or directly~ affect structures, systems and components required for safe-shutdown. Non-Category I-site buildings and facilities are sufficiently remote from the Standard Power Blocks and Site Category I facilities to minimize the effects of fires in these areas on Category I facilities.

~

Safety Design Basis Two - A single failure in the FPS will not impair fire suppression capability.

Safety Design Basis Three - FPS components are designed so.that their failure or inadvertent operation does not cause the loss.of function of plant structures, systems and components important to safety.

9.5.1.1.2 Power Generation Design Basis Power Generation Design - The FPS is designed to detect the occurrence of fire and/or to mitigate the consequences of fire in plant structures, systems and components related-to power generation.

9.5.1.1.3 Codes and Standards The following codes and standards are used as guidelines in the -

design of the Fire Protection System and Equipment , and where require? by law, the system and equipment conform to the applicable standards.

a. National Fire Protection Association (NT"A)
b. Nuclear Energy Liability Property Insurance. Association (NEL-PIA), April, 1976 (NEL-PIA) is now American Nuclear Insurance (ANI).
c. Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHA) October 1972.

. SNUPPS-C 4.5.1.2 System Description 9.5.1.2.1 General Description This layout of the FPS outside the Standard Power Block is shown on Figure 9.5-1. A flow diagram of the PPS is shown on Figure 9.5-2. A comparison of the Callaway Site design with NRC Branch Technical Position, APCSB 9.5-1, Appendiv A is presented in Appendix 9.5-1.

The fire hazards analysis for the site facilities outside the Standard Power Block which could affect site shutdown structures, systems, and components is contained in Appendix 9.5-B.

The FPS water supply is separated from all other site water supply systems and is based on providing 2300 gallons per minute of water for three hours to sprinkler systems with a simultaneous total flow of 1000 gallons per minute to hose stations.

Three 1500 gallons per minute fire pumps are provided. Two are diesel-dri"an and one has an electric drive. Any two of the three fire pumps are capable of providing 3300 gallons per minute of water to the fire system, with the shortest portion of the fire loop out of service, with sufficient head to meet the 80 psig interface pressure requirement at the Power Block. A jockey pump is provided to maintain normal system pressure when the fire pumps are not in operation.

9.5.1.2.2 Component Description The site portion of the FPS consists of the following principal components:

a. Two separate 300,000 gallon maximum capacity tanks are furnished. The tanks are interconnected so that three pumps can take suction from either/or both of the aanks. Check valves are provided so that a leak in one tank or its supply piping does not cause both tanks to drain,
b. Each fire water tank is capable of providing for a period of two hours the maximum water demand for any safe shutdown area. This is based on 1,000 gpm to the largest safe shutdown area.
c. The Fire Protection System water storage is not interconnected with any sanitary or service water storage systems.
d. The fire water supply system is not common with any other system.

E

. SNUPPS-C

e. 'A l'4" diameter underground yard loop around each Standard Power Block with branches to each building as shown on Figure 9.5-1. The fire loop is sectionalized by means of Post Indicating Valves (PIV) to isolate portions of the main for maintenance or repair without shutting off the entire system.
f. The lateral to each hydrant from the fire main is furnished with a curb valve, for isolation of damaged hydrants without reducing the effectiveness of the supply system.
g. Two-and-one half inch hose was considered in the design of the Fire Protection System and hose horses, however, 1-1/2 inch hose was selected because of the ability of a single individual to better handle and fight fires with the smaller hose.
h. Fire hoses are tested at 250 PSI or 50 PSI above maximum fire main operating pressure whichever is greater. Hoses stored outside are tested annually. Tbe interior standpipe hoses are tested every three ycars.

9.5.1.2.3 System Operation The fire water storage tanks are filled from the clarified water supply. The requirement for an eight-hour refill of one tank is met with clarified water from the Water Treatment Plant. The fire pump piping configuration provides for suction from either or both storage tanks.

Fire pumps are arranged to start automatically when the yard fire loop pressure drops below the pressure maintained by the jockey pump.

The motor-driven pump is arranged to start first followed by the diesel-driven pumps. Pumps are stopped locally only. Manual start controls are provided at each pump and in each Power Block Control Room.

A fire alarm system is provided, comprised of ionization and heat detectors and manual pull boxes (located in compliance with Article 310 of NFPA-72A, 1974), fire pump alarms and sprinkler operation alarms with signals to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Main Control Room annunciators.

Fire pump alarms include, as a minimum, controller not in Auto Mode, pump running, power failure and failure-to-start indicator. In addition, the diesel engine has a malfunction alarm. The fire-water tanks include level and temperature alarms.

9.5.1.2.4 off Site Assistance The Callaway Plant is designed to be self-sufficient with respect to fire fighting activities. No reliance is placed on help from local fire d'epartments.

~ ~

. SNUPPS-C 9.5.1.2.5'. Provisions During Construction of Unit 2 When Unit 1 is operating and Unit 2 is under construction, the permanent fire protection system will be complete for Unit 1, including the fire loop around the Power Block, service to the Power Block, pump capacity, water storage and supply, hydrants,_ hose houses, post indicating valves and fire alarm system. The remaining construction area will be segregated ' from the operating areas by a protective fenet.

The construction FPS will be interconnected to the Unit 1 system through isolation valves. A fire-water main distributes water to hydrants and hose stations located around the construction site and to sprinklers located in various construction facilities. Fire water will be provided to Unit 2 construction as deemed necessary and available by the Plant Superintendent, Callaway Plant.

A fire brigade, trained to operate the Fire Protection System, is available for suppression of fire during construction of Unit 2.

9.5.1.3 Safety Evaluation Safety evaluations are numbered to correspond to the safety design bases.

SAFETY EVALUATION ONE - By virtue of the location and construction of site facilities, the possibility of fires and the potential effects on Category I facilities are minimized. Refer to Appendix 9.5-B.

Provisions embodied into the design of Non-Category I site facilities include:

a. Service Building: An automatic wet-pipe sprinkler system is used in the consume 51e storage area, a Halon 1301 automatic system is used in the record storage area and standpipe firc hose systems are provided throughout the building, supplemented by portable extinguishers.
b. Stores Building: A Halon 1301 automatic system is used in the radiograph storage area with the remainder of thu building having an automatic wet-pipe sprinkler system with '

standpipe fire hose systems provided throughout, supplemented by portable extinguishers.

c. Auxiliary boiler fuel oil storage tank: Spread of fire is prevented by a containment dike.
d. Circulating water cooling towers: Non-combustible construction with flame-resistant fill material.
e. Compressed gas storage: Outdoors, located to prevent accident effects on safety-related facilities.

I

SNUPPS-C SAFETY EVALUATION TWO - Two separate 300,000 gallon capacity fire-water storage tanks are provided. The tanks are interconnected so the pumps can take suction from either/or both of the tanks. Check valves are provided so that a leak in one tank or its supply piping will not allow both tanks to drain.

Three 50% capacity fire pumps are provided, (one driven electrically and two diesel-driven). Failure of one pump to operate does not prevent the system from supplying 100% design flow. Connection to the yard fire main loop is through two supply lines from opposite sides of the fire pump house. J SAFETY EVALUATION THREE - The site FPS consists of proven components selected to minimize risks of failure or inadvertent operation.  ;

Extinguishing materials used are compatible with the equipment in the areas served.

9.5.1.4 Tests and Inspections The fire protection systems are installed by a contractor qualified and experienced in the work. This installation is tested and inspected in accordance with the requirements of the agencies listed in Section 9.5.1.1.3 and with Preoperational Test Procedures. To insure system integrity and completeness refer to Site Addendum Appendix 9.5A for further discussion.

9.5..l.5 Personnel Qualification and T>aining The Site Architect / Engineers' Supervisor of fire protection design assisted in the development, design and equipment specification for the Fire Protection System. He is a member of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers and Registered Professional Engineers.
