The major steps to be followed by each CM walkdown team member are as follows:

Prior to each walkdown, meet with the Configuration Management Coordinator to

discuss which system(s) or portions of systems are scheduled for a walkdown.

Obtain the appropriate drawings, a copy of this procedure, and an adequate number of

blank CCD sheets.

Contact the Operations Department and obtain authorization from the operations

supervisor on shift to conduct a walkdown of the scheduled system(s).

Consistent with the appropriate Radiation Protection procedures, determine and comply

with the Radiation Work Permit (RWP) requirements for the area(s) scheduled for a

walkdown.

Upon entering the area, comply with the necessary safety requirements (e.g., ear

protection, hard hats, etc.) and determine the need for special access equipment (such

as ladders, scaffolding, etc.) as soon as practical; follow proper facility procedures for

acquiring and using this equipment.

CAUTION: Do not step on cable trays, insulated pipe, hand wheels, cantilevered

valves, operating equipment, or anything that may be damaged or could cause harm.

Conduct walkdowns of the identified system(s) or portions of systems to verify as-built

configuration by gathering component nameplate data and documenting this data on the

CCD sheets. Copies of the CCD sheets are included as Attachment A to this procedure.

NOTE: One or more of the team members may gather this data; however, care should

be taken to insure some degree of independence (i.e., at least one member should be

designated as the "first" party and a second member designated as the "second" party

(independent) verifier for each component).

During the walkdowns, check the accuracy of the P&IDs to ensure that the functional

relationships are correctly represented and that all components are accurately depicted.

Annotate the drawings, as appropriate, to show the as-found configuration and retain the

original for review and processing.

Perform the second party verfification of the component nameplate data and P&ID. Both

the first party and the second party verifier will sign the completed CCD street and P&ID,

as appropriate.

NOTE: The objective of the second party verification is to ensure, by direct observation,

that the correct data is obtained. For example, if a valve is located overhead and access

to the component nameplate is by ladder, both team members will climb the ladder to

verify the information. Only one person going up and calling down to the other is not

considered a second party, independent verification and is therefore unacceptable for

the purposes of this step.

During the walkdowns, general facility material and housekeeping conditions should also

be observed and any irregularities or unusual conditions should be reported in the

comments/remarks section of the CCD. Examples of what to look for are as follows:
