10th Configuration Management Benchmarking Conference June 15-18, 2003 Hershey, PA 2003 CONFERENCE " A Decade of Sharing" Operational Configuration Management Presented By: David T. Woodfin, Jr. First Energy Nuclear Operating Company

2 Operational Configuration Management Configuration Management Policy äPlant Design Conforms to Design Criteria äPlant Configuration Conforms to Plant Design äManaging Changes  Criteria Changes  Design Changes  Configuration Changes

3 äDefinitions  Normal Configuration  Configuration Control  Positionable Component  Service Connections  Procedure Alteration Operational Configuration Management

4 Design Configuration Control äCritical Characteristics of SSCs  Controlled Information  Controlled Databases  Changed by Approved Procedures Operational Configuration Management

5 äPlant Configuration Control  Procedures Conform to Plant Design  Procedures Change when Design Changes  Component Positions Change as Directed by Procedures Operational Configuration Management

6 äPositionable Components  Component Labels - Verified Correct  Maintained in a Normal Configuration ä Testing or Maintenance Activities Must Restore to Normal Configuration ä Temporary Controls Must Restore to Normal Configuration ä Outage Requirements are Relaxed ä Normally Operated by Operations Personnel Operational Configuration Management

7 äTemporary Controls  Safety Tagging  Temporary Modifications  Removal and Restoration of Station Equipment Operational Configuration Management

8 äManipulations by Non-Operations Personnel  Directed by Plant Procedure or Work Order  Within Safety Tagout Boundary  Support Maintenance Activities Operational Configuration Management

9 äManipulations by Non-Operations Personnel (continued)  Approved by Shift Manager (SM) or CR SRO  Approving SM or CR SRO Responsible to Ensure Normal Configuration Restored Operational Configuration Management

10 äExceptions  I&C Personnel may operate valves associated with instruments or actuators ä Source /root valves only operated by Operations  Electrical Maintenance may operate electrical devices as directed by SM  Chemistry operates specific equipment when authorized by Procedures, SM or CR SRO Operational Configuration Management

11 äSpecial Component Controls  Slide Links  Fuses  Lighting Panel Breakers  Service Connections  Fire Protection System Valves  Locked Valves and Capped Valves Operational Configuration Management

12 äProcedure Controls  Outage restoration instructions  Initial and normal configuration lineups  Restoration from Infrequent or Special lineups  Non-operations procedures Operational Configuration Management

13 äProcedure Alterations  Existing Component Position Verified  Realignment Requirements Identified  Procedure Alteration Approved  Component Repositioned by Operations Operational Configuration Management
