8" NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION n
(
W ASHING TON, D. C. 20555 AUG 2 1979 DOCKET t'0. :
70-135 LICENSEE:
Babcock & Wilcox FACILITY:
Apollo, Pennsylvania Plant
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT
Background
By letter dated June 18, 1979, B&W requested an administrative change to their li:ense SNM-145 to (a) delete the function of the Regulatory Projects Coordinator and (b) alter the experience requirements for tLe function of Licensing and Nuclear Safety Specialist.
Discussion item (a)
There is no regulatory requirement that the licensee organization include the function of Regulatory Projects Coordinator.
- Further, management needs and plant operations have changed at Apollo, and B&W no longer believes the function of the Regulatory Projects Coordinator is needed.
Item (b)
The experience requirements for the Licensing and Nuclear Safety Specialist included in the B&W renewal application for License No. SNM-145 were based on the qualifications of the person filling the position at that time, and the qualifications listed were more restrictions than generally required in the nuclear industry. Overly restrictive qualifications make it difficult for B&W to fill positions vacated.
The proposed new qualifications are consistent with industry practice and are adequate.
The proposed changes have been discussed with Region I personnel and they have no objections to granting the B&W request.
Qualifications for the Licensing and Muclear Safety Specialist were discussed with Mr.
R. L. Stevenson, an NRC expert in criticality, who had no objection to the change in qualifications.

Approval of the request for amendment is recomended.
