4.0 PROCESS DESCRIPTION

.. y - -

4.1 The operational readiness self assessment process will verify completion of the necessary" startup required actions and affirmation of System, Departmental and Operational Readiness.

The process includes a combination of management reviews and field observations of material condition and personnel performance.

System Readiness affirmations by the respective System Managers provide assurance that each system is ready to support the safe and reliable startup and operation of the station through the next cycle. This affirmation is' based on coordinated walkdowns of systems with the Operations personnel, a review of current system's conditions that may have changed since shutdown of the plant and subsequent completion of required startup actions.

Departmental Readiness affirmations by selected departments provides assurance that the departments are in a state of readiness to support the safe and reliable startup and operation of the station through the next cycle. These affirmations consist of a self-assessment of the departmental readiness and a review ofinspection and evaluation results to ensure that required startup actions have been completed. Responsible Managers will have an initial meeting with the General Manager in which expectations, relative to organizational readmus, will be established. Each Manager will later affirm readiness and present their self assessment results to the General Manager.

I e

Operational Readiness affirmations by each SNSS and operating crew provides assurance that the Operating Shifts are satisfied with the plant material condition and they are ready to operate the station in a safe and reliable manner through the next operating cycle The affirmation also includes a verification of operator training, establishment of an acceptable control room working environment and that operations performance expectations have been established and effectively communicated.

4.2 The General Manager will convene a SORC meeting to review these affirmations and to s enfy compliance with regulatory commitments and any special criteria. These reviews / verifications will be used to determine the station is in a condition to be safely and reliably operated through the next operating' cycle. Based on these affirmations, the General Manager will recommend to the Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations that the station be allowed to retum to seruce i

4.3 The Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations will approve returning the station to seruce based on input from the General Manager, Senior Vice President - Nuclear Engineenng and Director - Quality Assurance and Nudear Safety Review. ,
