Equipment status changes are appropriately documented and communicated to appropriate shift personnel, when they occur. The operating conditions of plant equipment are effectively monitored, and appropriate corrective action is initiated when required. Equipment out of service controls are adequate. Logkeeping is timely, accurate, and adequately reflects plant activities and status. Operators follow good operating practices and maintain shift professionalism in conducting plant operations.
Operators are aware of ongoing plant activities and surveillance testing.
Administrative controls are adequate to ensure in-plant work activities are being performed with the knowledge of control room personnel. Shift turnovers are professional and provide the oncoming shift an adequate update from the last time they were on shift. The administrative burden on the control room supervisor does not prevent adequate supervision of shift activities. Manipulation of plant controls that may effect reactivity changes is performed by licensed operators, or by individuals enrolled in an approved operator licensing training program who are under the direction and in the presence of a license operator. Overall material condition of the plant does not hinder the effectiveness of the operators in conducting normal plant evolutions as well as non-routine evolutions.
