This Action Plan identifies the need to provide Emergency Operating Procedures that treat the lower consequence/higher probability emergencies which had not been adressed in the past, and the need to incorporate good human factors practices in these procedures. The purpose of this document is to provide input to the NRC for use in developing guidelines for writing Emergency Operating Procedures for nuclear power plants. 3 figs.
