+y*g4 UNITED STATES NUCLcAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO. 58 TO PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE NO.DPR-18 ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION R.
E.
GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NQ.
50-244
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated September 28,
- 1982, as supplemented by letter dated January 11, 1983, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (the licensee) requested an amendment to the Appendix A Technical Specifications appended to License No.
DPR-18 for the R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna).
The amendment would approve a neorganization of the plant staff into six major functional sections reporting to the Plant Superintendent rather than the present number of twelve.
The Plant Operations Review Comittee would be changed to be consistent with the proposed organizational change.
A Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing related to the requested action was published in the Federal Register on August 23, 1983 (48 FR 38421).
A request for hearing and public comments were not received.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The licensee requested, by letter dated September 28, 1982, and amended by letter dated January ll, 1983, a change to Section 6 of the Technical Specifications for their R.
E. Ginna Nuclear Plant.
The change involves a
reorganization of their plant staff.
Over the past 12 years, the staff functions of Cost Control Coordinator, Administrative Computer Systems Analyst, Technical Computer Systems Analyst, Technical Projects Supervisor, Technical Assistant for Operational Assessment, Fire Protection and Safety Coordinator, and Emergency Planning Group have been added.
These functions typically have reported directly to the office of the Plant Superintendent, resulting in approximately 12 organizational sections reporting to the Plant Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent.
As a result of these additions, the licensee proposed a reorganization of the staff functions to improve management of the plant.

3.0 OISCUSSION AND EVALUATION The proposed Technical.Specification changes identified in Attachment A of the licensee's request reorganizes the staff into major functional sections.
These functional sections include an Administrative section, a Health Physics 8 Chemistry section, a Maintenance
- section, an Operations
- section, a Nuclear Assurance
- section, and a Technical section.
The new organization is shown in the proposed Technical Specification Figu'res 6.2-2 through 6.2-5.
The composition of the PORC, Section 6.5.1.2, has been changed to be consistent with the organizational change.
Additionally, at the corporate level, the title of Manager Security has been changed to Director of Security.
'Two of the Sections (Administrative Section and Nuclear Assurance Section) are new.
The functions of Cost Control Coordinator, Administrative Computer Systems
- Analyst, and the function of the Office Supervisor will be reporting to the Administrative Manager.
Reporting to the Nuclear Assurance Manager will be the Operational Assessment Engineer (formerly the TecAhi cal Assistant for Operational Assessment),
the guality Control Engineer, and the Fire Protection 5 Safety Coordinator.
Also within this section the function of the guality Control Inspection Supervisor, reporting to the guality Control Engineer, will be established to coordinate the inspection activities of quality control on @lant and project jobs.
The guality Control engineer will continue to report to the Superintendent regard-ingg station activities affecting quality and that these acti vities are in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, and procedures.
This change will consolidate those staff functions concerned with the assurance of implementing the operational, quality and regulatory requirements of the administrative controls into an independent section.
Along with this change, the Nuclear Assurance Manager will become a member of the PORC along with the. guality Control Engineer remaining on the committee.
Other changes include the positions of Radiation Protection Foreman and Radiochemist in the Health Physics 5 Chemistry section, the change in title of the Nuclear Engineer to Reactor Engineer, the addition of the Technical Projects Supervisor and Technical Computer Systems Analyst in the Technical
- section, and the renaming of the Supervisor of Health and Chemistry to the Health Physics and Chemistry Manager, the Maintenance Engineer to the Main-tenance
- Manager, the Operations Engineer to Operations
- Manager, the Technical Engineer to Technical
- Manager, and the Training Coordinator to Training Manager.
The licensee's submittal was modified with the agreement of the licensee personnel to delete the request for removal of page 6.2-1 (see Attachment A
of the submittal).

SUMMARY
The staff has reviewed the proposed changes and find that they will provide acceptable management structure over needed functional areas.
The guidance used by the staff in determining acceptability of the plant organization-is contained in Regulatory Guide 1.33, guality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation).
The proposed organizational changes conform with the Regulatory Guide criteria.
The staff has concluded that the changes do not reduce the effectiveness for the management or safe operation of Ginna and are, therefore, acceptable.
- 5. 0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The staff has determined that the amendment does not authorize a change i.n effluent types or total amount nor an increase in power level and will not result in any Significant environmental impact.
Having made this deter-mination, the staff has further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact
- and, pursuant to 10 CFR $51.5(d)(4), that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and envi ronmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection wiNh the issuance of this amendment.
- 6. 0 CONCLUSION The staff has further concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the pro-posed manner; and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
