92709.-03 INSPECTION GUIDANCE General Guidance. This inspection should be completed prior to the commencement of a strike and at the time of facility turnover to non-striking personnel.

u-4,, kp/o3in the event the inspector is then the inspection should be not aware that a strike is imminent, conducted as soon as it is known that a strike has begun.

The general requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations dealing with security, emergency situations, and operator training and qualification apply to the strike situation.

The primary guidance available should be located in the licensee's emergency and contingency plans.

Specific Guidance 03.01 The licensee's approved strike provisions are required to be incorporated into the site emergency and safeguards contingency plans. To evaluate the licensee's strike contingency planning, discuss with licensee's management the overall impact of the strike including the number and job classification of potential strikers.

03.02 The inspector should evaluate changes to the licensee's safeguards contingency plan which have not been reviewed by the NRC.

Regulatory Guides 5.54, 5.55, and 5.56 provide guidance for evaluating the changes to tpe strike portion of the licensee's safeguards contingency plan. O.( '&10 o-,-~ e.-0¶L E-a/*AV *. A-ý Non-power reactors having formula quantities of special nuclear material (SNM) have to implement 10 CFR Part 73 safeguards 0tpb contingency strike provisions only when the SNM (i.e.

fuel) becomes 03.03 No inspection guidance.

03.04 Staffing requirements for power reactors are discussed in 10 CFR 50.54 and include the minimum staffing of nuclear power units by operators and senior operators. The inspector should consider

'Woe the amount of overtime needed to maintain shift coverage and ensure it is within the guidelines in the facility's technical specifica-tions. Non-power reactor staffing requirements are contained in the gopw0 11I%

facility's technical specifications. No inspection guidance for fuel facilities other than that contained in the approved license application.

03.05 Specific licensee requirements may be found in the facility's technical specifications, license, and the code of federal regulations. Licensee commitments for power reactors may be found in the final safety analysis report (FSAR) while non-power reactor commitments are contained in safety analysis report.
