DISCUSSION Each plant is responsible for establishing a system that assures that the Shift Foreman has available at all times for consultation persons with professional level expertise in all technical areas that are related to the safe operation of the plant,. The technical areas include, as a minimum, thermal-hydraulics, reactor physics, systems engineering, transient and accident analysis, health physics, and radiochemistry. To the extent that this expertise is not contained in the normal shift organization, "on-call."

it must be provided by placing appropriate personnel PROCEDURE

1. Each plant is responsible for developing a system for assuring that plant staff personnel with the above expertise be available whenever a Unit is in Modes 1, 2, 3, or g for the purpose of providing technical advice to the Shift Foreman.

The system shall designate the availability of "on-call" personnel and shall be posted in the Control Room or Shift Foreman's office.

2. In order to implement the previous requirement, credit may be taken for the availability of a qualified Shift Engineer in the areas of thermal-hydraulics, reactor physics, systems engineering, and transient and accident analysis .

3. As a minimum, a person in each of the following areas shall be placed "on-call" when a Unit is in Modes 1, 2, 3, or g in order to supplement the Shift Engineer for near-term staffing of the Technical Support Center.

a. A person who can act as long-term Site Emergency Coordinator.

b. A person who is qualified to supervise radiological evaluations in the event of a radiological emergency.

c. A person who is qualified to serve as Emergency Evaluations Coordinator in the On-site Emergency Organization, or a person who is qualified to serve as a nuclear engineer during a reactor startup.

d. A person who is qualified to serve as Emergency Operations Coordinator in the On-site Emergency Organization . (The Wift Foreman on shift does not satisfy this requirement.)

e. A supervisor from the Instrument and Controls Maintenance Organization, unless IEC technicians are included as part of the on-shift organization.

NOTE: A single individual may,not serve more than one of the above functions .

4. Mechanical and Electrical Maintenance Coverage If additional physical force personnel beyond those on shift are required, they would be called into the plant as needed to perform unscheduled maintenance work . If journeymen or technicians are involved, they would ordinarily require no supervision other than general supervision by the Shift Foreman . Therefore, mechanical and electrical it is not required that a supervisor in the maintenance areas be placed "on-call ." However, it is desirable to assure available (although that appropriate maintenance supervisors will be not.necessarily "on-call" in the strict sense) . If an area is completely uncovered, then it may be necessary to place an appropriate individual "on-call ." In most cases, other individuals who are "on-call" could provide general supervision for most mechanical and electrical maintenance activities .

5. Availability of "Qn-Call" Personnel

a. A person who is "on-call" shall either be issued a paging device or shall notify the Shift Foreman where he can be reached at any time he expects to be away from his home phone for more than one hour.

b. "Qn-call" personnel shall remain in the general vicinity of the plant.

An "on-call" supervisor should be capable of reaching the plant within one hour following notification.
