SUBJECT:

WILLIAM B. MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 RE: ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS (TAC NOS. MB6911 AND MB6912)

Dear Mr. Jamil:

By letter dated December 2, 2002, you submitted an application for amendment of the operating licenses for McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. The amendment request applies to the Administrative Controls in Section 5.0 of the Technical Specifications concerning unit staff and their qualifications, and controls of high radiation areas. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the information provided and has determined that additional information is required. Our questions are provided in the Enclosure. We discussed this request with a representative of your staff on March 12, 2003, who indicated that you could respond to this request by April 18, 2003.

Please contact me at (301) 415-1493, if you have any other questions on these issues.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Robert E. Martin, Senior Project Manager, Section 1 Project Directorate II Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370

Enclosure:

ML030830586 NRR-106 OFFICE PDII-1/PM PDII-1/LA PDII-1/SC NAME RMartin CHawes JNakoski DATE 03/19/03 03/19/03 03/20/03 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS DUKE POWER COMPANY WILLIAM B. MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-369 AND 50-370

1. The Technical Justification for Proposed Change 1, indicates that the reference to the Shift Supervisor in paragraph 5.7.2 is being changed to Operations Shift Supervisor (OSM) [sic]. However, the marked up Technical Specification (TS) indicate the title of the position is Operations Shift Manager. Verify the correct title of the position being referenced in TS 5.7.2. In other paragraphs of the TS, the title of Shift Supervisor is being changed to the Control Room Senior Reactor Operator (CRSRO). Is the OSM the same as the CRSRO?

2. The Technical Justification for Proposed Change 1 also indicates that the basis for the change to TS 5.7.2 is to bring the TS in alignment with the requirements of NUREG-1431... However, the current Westinghouse Standard TS (Paragraph 5.7.2 to NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants, Rev. 2, dated April 30, 2001) requires that the keys to locked High Radiation Areas be maintained under the administrative control of the shift supervisor, radiation protection manager, or his or her designee. Describe how the requirements in the proposed TS 5.7.2 (e.g., the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Operations Shift Manager or radiation protection personnel.) are consistent with the Standard TS.

3. Verify that those responsible (per TS 5.7.2) for controlling the keys to locked High Radiation Areas have the scope of job responsibilities to understand the radiological implications of changing plant configurations, and the authority to stop those plant evolutions that could result in unwarranted radiation exposure to plant personnel.

4. Using the licensed operator titles proposed in the amendment, provide a description of the combined control room shift organization for all licensed positions.

5. The Commissions regulations in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)

Part 55 describe requirements for obtaining and maintaining operator licenses. In the area of qualifications and eligibility requirements to be licensed by the NRC, 10 CFR Part 55 requires individuals to meet the qualification and eligibility requirements established for the facility. Where are the qualification and eligibility requirements for NRC license applicants at McGuire specified and what are they?
