4.
Site Tour The IE inspector walked through various areas of the site to observe the status of construction progress.
The areas inspected included all levels of the Reactor Building, the Reactor Auxiliary Building and the fuel pool areas.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Orientatirn Discussions The IE inspectors held discussions with the following individuals to learn the current status of their respective group activities.
In addition, discussions were held with various construction, operations, technical support and administrative members of the licensee's staff regarding plant safety, training and plant status.
T. K. Armington, Lead Start-up Engineer R. C. Armstrong, Training Engineer T. F. Gerrets, Quality Assurance Manager C. Smiroldo, Quality Control Group Head The inspectors noted that the licensee currently has in training eighteen persons designated to be licensed shif t operators. This is the exact number needed to man the planned six rotating shifts. The inspectors pointed out that this does not provide an allowance for persons who do not pass the NRC Operators and Senior Operators exams, or who choose to change jobs prior to issuance of the facility operating license.
Because of the long lead time required to hire and train people with potential to be licensed operaters, the inspestors suggested that the licensee re-evaluate their needs in this area.
Failure to have the appropriate number of licensed operators and senior operators could delay the issuance of the facility operating license.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
