Responsibilities b.
Findings (1) The basic organizational structure embraces the multi unit organization concept described in NUREG 0731 with the exception of Quality Assurance which now reports, in its entirety, to the off site organization. The revised organization accomplished the following:
(a) Replaced the former senior on site manager with a corporate level manager (located on site) who reports to the Senior Vice President, Power Generation.
(b) Reorganized the three functions of technical engineering, training, and operation, formerly reporting to the previous senior manager, under four general managers; Nuclear Power Generation, Environmental Health and Safety, Technical Support, and Administrative Services.
.
(c)
Removed the functions of Security, Refueling Engineer, Test Performance, and Chemistry and Radiation Safety Director that formerly reported to the Plant Manager, and placed them under the new General Managers.
(d) The new General Manager, Nuclear Power Generation replaced the former Plant Manager and now manages operations, maintenance and instrument and control functions. This reduces significantly the number of functions formerly under the Plant Manager, and permits him to place greater effort in managing these areas.
It is believed that these changes have placed greater management focus on plant operations and support activities and will enhance safe operation of the plant.
(2) Additiunal changes which the licensee made to improve the crganization were also reviewed, they include:
(a) Addition of a Director of Communications and Regulatory Affairs and Staff reporting to the Vice President Nuclear Power. His duties include liaison with the NRC Resident Inspector, feedback mechanism monitoring, coordinate responses to NRC inspection findings, regulatory bulletins, circulars, and orders, assure operating experiences are provided to the plant stzff and that it is incorporated into plant procedures and training programs.

These duties were formerly the responsibility of the Technical Engineering Director.
(b) Addition of a Technical Consultant reporting to the Vice President, Nuclear power.
(c)
Shifted responsibility for handling contaminated waste from the Maintenance Dept. to a new radwaste section under the General Manager, Environmental Health and Safety.
(d)
Expanded the Maintenance Department to include a maintenance planning and scheduling section and a new section devoted entirely to gas turbine maintenance.
The licensee also plans to expand the number of maintenance personnel.
(e) Addition of a new General Manager, Technical Support, with an expanded technical staff to provide greater technical expertise on site.
The STA's now report to this genersl manager. The licensee is actively staffing this department.
The minimum staffing required by the Technical Specifications will be accompli hed prior to restart of the unit.
(f) Development of an expanded training staff and program including development of a 5 year training program with particular attention to the maintenance department actisities.
(g) Addition of staff engineers and personnel for the purpose of reducing the administrative ~ duties of managers.
It is believed that the above changes will further permit greater attention toward the operation of the plant by the managers and further cabance safety.
(3) Seven Consolidated Edison personnel, consisting of the Vice President, Nuclear Power, General Manager, Technical Support (now the Chairman of the Station Nuclear Safety Committee),
General Manager, Nuclear Power Generation, Maintenance Engineer, Training Director, a Shift Technical Advisor, and the Chairman of the On Site Review Group,1 were individually interviewed to
discuss their responsibilities, and authority, and their attitudes regarding the safe operation of the plant.
They also provided specific comments regarding their views on the new organization.
The qualifications were also examined for those individuals who had not been previously reviewed. The qualifications of the ind.ividuals reviewed appear to meet or_ exceed the requirements of ANSI N18.1 1971.
This on site review group was established in accordance with the February 11, 1980 Confirmatory Order and reports off site to th. Senior Vice President, Nuclear Generation.

Based on the above interviews, the indications were that there was an excellent understanding of their functional rasponsibilities
-
and authority, an enhanced awareness for the need to fully evaluate and understand operating events and that safety will continue to be a primary concern in operating the plant.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
