Rev. 1 - November 2005 Appendix A to SRP Section 13.5.2.1 REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR THE EVALUATION OF PROCEDURES GENERATION PACKAGES 1.0 Background In August of 1982, NUREG-0899, Guidelines for the Preparation of Emergency Operating Procedures,- was published. This docurrient. 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 to mitigate the consequences of a broad range of accidents and multiple equipment failures.' In 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 procedures and that acceptable 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. In this approach the licensee is responsible for the generation and review of the EOPs and for future revisions to EOPs. In NUREG-0899, four aspects of EOP development and implementation are identified as providing an adequate basis for review: (1) plant-specific technical guidelines (P-STGs), (2) a plant-specific writer's guide, (3) a description of the program for verification and validation of the EOPs, and (4) a description of the program for training operators on the EOPs. Information on each of these items is to be provided in the procedures generation package (PGP). The PGP for each
