Dear Hr. Sylvia:
SUBJECT:
PLANT STAFFING SURVEY AT NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT NO.
2 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a survey of nuclear power plant staffing practices.
On July 7, 1994, I telephoned Hr. Dave Baker of your staff to describe this survey and solicit the participation of Nine Nile Point Nuclear Station Unit 2.
On July 18, 1994, Hr. Baker informed me that approval had been granted for one NRC employee (Jesse A. Arildsen) and two contractor employees (BNL) to visit your site on August 8-10, 1994, for the purpose of conducting the survey.
The purpose of this letter is to clearly identify the survey's objectives, the research team's planned activities at your site, and the support that will be required.
The objective of this survey is to gain insights into plant personnel workloads and the workload management strategies they use when responding to plant operational events.
The team's charter is to conduct a
- survey, not to evaluate regulatory compliance.
Specifically, the team intends to conduct the activities identified in the Enclosure at the Nine Hile Point Nuclear Station Unit 2.
Keeping in mind that participation in this survey is voluntary, we have tried to limit the activities and involvement of your personnel, wherever possible, in order to minimize our impact on site staff workloads.
Following the description of each activity listed in the Enclosure, there is a description of the support that we are requesting.
Please review this information to 9408020i59 940727 PDR ADOCK 050004i0 PDR
Hr. B. Ralph Sylvia July 27, 3.994 verify the availability of requested personnel.
Should you determine that individuals will not be available, or should you have any questions concerning this survey, please contact me at (301) 504-1409.
Thank you for your cooperation for participating in this survey.
Sincerely,
Enclosure:
