  1. Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work AND
  2. Has limited or restricted means of entry or exit AND
  3. Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
  4. IF after the precautions as given in this procedure are taken, the hazards introduced into a Confined Space could endanger the life of an entrant, or could interfere with escape from the Confined Space, THEN the entry into the space SHALL meet the requirements of a Permit Required Confined Space (Permit Entry Space).

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZA-0098, Station Housekeeping*
    • *

Purpose and Scope

A

Establish basic housekeeping controls to ensure cleanliness of the plant is maintained.

Provide guidelines for control of temporary equipment/materials in Seismic II/I Areas that MAY affect safety-related equipment during a seismic event.

Applicable to all individuals entering a designated Housekeeping Zone.

Housekeeping SHALL be maintained at such a level that at any time the Station proudly reflects our professionalism and is ready for inspection by any authority. Additionally, it is our expectation that we will clean up after ourselves and strive to leave work areas in a better housekeeping condition than we found them.

Provide Nuclear Electric Insurance Liability (NEIL) good housekeeping practices.

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZE-0004, Plant Surveillance Program*

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZO-0054, Operational Decision Making*
    • *

ODMI Process

A

Provides a method to document decisions considered in the disposition and handling of conditions identified by station management and staff as an Operational Decision Making Issue (ODMI).

Provides direction for communicating information gained in the Operational Decision Making Process with site personnel.

Provides a format to perform a periodic review of ODM issues and their aggregate effect on continued safe plant operation.

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZO-0054, Operational Decision Making*
    • *

Typical Scenarios requiring ODMI

A
  • Shift Manager identifies equipment conditions that require timely (typically within a shift to a few days) decisions due to the nature of the issue.
  • Station Managers make decisions in response to degraded conditions that often fall below action threshold defined in license documents or that are not clearly defined in existing procedures.

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZO-0054, Operational Decision Making*
    • *

Effective ODMI Principles

A

•Principle 1 – Identification

Conditions that potentially challenge safe, reliable operation are recognized and promptly reported for resolution.

•Principle 2 – Establish Roles and Responsibilities

Roles and responsibilities are established for making and implementing decisions, and are thoroughly understood by plant personnel.

•Principle 3 – Define Consequences

Potential consequences of operational challenges are clearly defined, and alternative solutions evaluated.

•Principle 4 – Understand Risk

Decisions are based on a full understanding of short and long-term risks and the aggregate impact of conditions associated with various options.

•Principle 5 – Develop Plans

Implementation plans are developed to effectively communicate actions, responsibilities, compensatory measures, and compensatory actions to ensure successful outcomes.

•Principle 6 – Evaluate Decisions

Decisions and decision making activities are periodically evaluated.

Q
  • 0PGP03-ZO-9900, Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments Program*
    • *

Management Philosophy

Operability / Functionality

A

Operations Personnel and Plant staff will identify and resolve all issues associated with Operability Determinations and Functionality Assessments.

Appropriate whenever information calls into question the ability of SSC’s to perform specified safety functions.

Properly disposition all degraded or nonconforming conditions in a timely manner.

RIS 05-20 Program defines the roles and responsibilities for handling of RIS 05-20 conditions.

The operability determination process is used to assess operability of SSC’s and their support functions for compliance with Technical Specifications

RIS 05-20

Review Requirements

A

RIS 05-20 Quarterly Reviews:

The bases for continued operation for Operable but Degraded or Nonconforming conditions are reviewed quarterly.

The Quarterly Review Package contains the following as a minimum:

  • Listing of current Operable but degraded/nonconforming conditions
  • Listing of current identified Non-functional conditions
  • Listing of current Functional but degraded/nonconforming conditions
  • Listing of RIS 05-20 conditions that are NOT material deficiencies (analysis, calculations, etc…)
  • Brief description of corrected RIS 05-20 items since last meeting
  • List of Prompt Determinations performed in the previous quarter
  • Program Performance Indicators (when developed)
  • Program Effectiveness Indicators (when developed)
  • Current ODMIs

Operable

A

capable of performing its specified function(s), and when all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, electrical power, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its function(s) are also capable of performing their related support function(s). OPERABILITY and OPERABLE are attributes of Technical Specification SSCs.

Functional / Functionality

A

Functionality is an attribute of an SSC(s) that is NOT controlled by Technical Specifications. An SSC not controlled by Technical Specifications is functional or has functionality when it is capable of performing its function(s) as set forth in the Current License Basis (CLB). These CLB function(s) may include the capability to perform a necessary and related support function for an SSC(s) controlled by Technical Specifications.
