RP procedure usage not unique, follow station rules for placekeeping.

5.5 Placekeeping

5.5.1 Perform placekeeping:

1. For all continuous use procedures and reference use procedures
needed at the job site.

NOTE: If a procedure is used at the Reference Use level and
placekeeping is not performed due to work conditions, the procedure
user still remains entirely and personally responsible for performing all
steps correctly, completely, and in the exact sequence specified in the
written document.

2. For reference use procedures that have been directed to be used as
continuous use procedures.

3. For all tasks performed with a written instruction (procedure,
Surveillance/Performance record, Work Order, etc.) in hand.

4. When using reference cards provided for operator actions during
transient and accident conditions.

5. For prerequisites, notes, caution statements, or precautions and
limitations on procedures requiring placekeeping, place a slash
beside each statement signifying acknowledgement and
understanding.

6. For steps that must be repeated or performed multiple times, an
attachment may be used for placekeeping.

5.5.2 Perform placekeeping as follows:

* Placekeep by circling the step number denoting it "in progress" and
slashing through the circle to indicate step completion. This does
not include Emergency Operating Procedures which have a
different placekeeping method.
-OR-
* For procedures that are written with a step sign-off, or box, as a
placekeeping aid, the current step must be initialed, or the box
marked through, upon completion prior to proceeding with the next
step.

5.5.3 Use the following techniques during procedure use:

1. If distracted, review the previous steps.
2. Highlight procedure steps that are "applicable."
3. Mark critical steps before starting work.

* Use critical step stamp, or if stamp is not available, write CS
to the left of the step.
* Critical steps may be permanently indicated.

4. Identify the suffix of the component Location/PIS number to be
operated or worked, by either circling the applicable component
designator or lining out the non-applicable suffix(es). Example:
"Open N3000F001A(B,C,D,E,F)."

5.5.4 Modify placekeeping requirements for instances where subsequent steps
must be performed in prompt order, or focused attention is required on
the equipment.

1. Examples and appropriate alternatives are:

a. If timely response is required to preclude a significant plant
transient, then placekeeping is at the discretion of the
supervisor.


b. If placekeeping in high radiation areas, contaminated areas,
or areas where heat stress is a concern, then:

* Carefully consider the dose or heat stress consequence
of placekeeping against the consequence of making an
error in the execution of the procedure.
* Or, a person, outside the high-radiation, contaminated,
or heat stress area, in communication may perform
placekeeping.
* Ensure supervisor concurrence with decision for
placekeeping methodology for the high radiation,
contaminated, or heat stress area prior to performing
work.
