Description / Abstract:
This document provides guidance for the application of
computerized operating procedure systems (COPS). This guidance
concerns the design (i.e., form and function) and use of COPS. In
general, this guide does not provide guidance for the technical
content of the operating procedures being presented except as
needed to address unique aspects of procedure implementation on
COPS. Software tools that can be described as computerized
procedures but reside outside the control room (such as might be
used for maintenance or testing) are also beyond the scope of this
document.
Purpose
The project is intended to provide application guidance, based
on current industry experience, for the design and use of
computerized operating procedure systems (COPS) at nuclear power
generating stations and other nuclear facilities. This guide will
identify acceptable practices and important considerations for
applying COPS to facility operations. This guide is intended to
support developers, users, and reviewers of COPS.
