NUREG-1358, Supplement 1, "Lessons Learned From the Special Inspection Program for Emergency Operating Procedures," 1992. DRAFT Rev. 1 - December 2002 13.5.2.1-10 Appendix A to SRP Section 13.5.2.1 "REVIEWIPROCEDURES FOR THE EVALUATION OF PROCEDURES GENERATION PACKAGES 1.0 Background In August of 1982, NUREG-0899, "Guidelines for the PrepaIration of Eme'ge.nc*, Operating Procedures," was published. This document is designed to "identify the elements necessary for licensees and applicants to prepare and implement Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) that will provide the operator with directions tomitigate the consequences of a broad range of accidents and multiple equipment failures.".lIn addition to identifying these elements, the document also outlines the process by which licensees and applicants should develop, implement, and maintain EOPs. -,To ensure that the elements are addressed in the new or upgraded proced6res and tha-tacceptable processes of development, implementation, and maintenance are used, the staff identified a method of review that is intended to provide confidence that EOPs written or upgraded according to a given plant's program would be acceptable. The NRC staff believes that it is more important that licensees and applicants ensure that the process used to generate procedures and the technical basis for the procedures are sound and well documented, than to perform a one-time review of EOPs, with no assurance that future EOP revisions will be technically adequate and consistent with existing EOPs. With this approach, responsibility for the generabion and review of the EOPs, as well as future revisions to EOPs, is retained by the licensee.. In NUREG-0899, four aspects of EOP development and implementation are identified as providing an adequate basis for review. These are (1) plant-specific technical guidelines (P-STGs);
