Docket NO.: 706364 LICENSEE:
Babcock and Wilcox FACILITY:
Parks Township, Pennsylvania Plant SUBJEC :
REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT
Background
By letter dated June 21 1979, B&W requested an administrative change tc, their license SNM-414 to:
1.
Clarify the procedures for implementing replacement of personnel in key Pennsylvania Operations management and supervisory positions.
2.
Delete the reference to the duties of the Manager of Compliance as Secretary to the SAB, while en:uring that documentation of SAB meeting minutes is maintained.
The basic reason for the requested changes is to clarify items in the renewed license found during an I&E inspection to be in error or subject to misintepretation.
Discussion Item 1.
Neither the license, as originally written, or the conc:itions section of the application specified in cet. il the procedures to be followed in filling vacancies in B&W Pennysivania Operations management and supervision.
The amendment requested specifics that in case a position is permanently vacated, the functions of the position will be delegated on an interim basis to the individual or individuals consiMered most capable until a permanent replacement has been determined. Within three weeks of the delegation, the SAB will perform an evaluation of the delegations.

2-a position is temporarily vacated, the functions will be delegated until the incumbent returns.
If the temporary absence extends beyond 90 days, an SAB evaluation will be preformed to ensure that no loss of technical competence in the function of the position will occur.
The requested amendment provides B&W with the flexibility needed to cope with personnel changes while maintaining an adequate level of technical competence.
Item 2.
The conditions section of the application, as written, can be interpreted to require the Manager of Compliance to be present at all SAB meetings and to record and produce the meeting minutes.
The amendment requested would remove this rs.quirement and simply provide that the SAB is responsible for assuring that SAB meeting minutes are documented. This change Ms no safety significance.
The propcsed limitations and methods of operation are consistent with p' ant c?erational needs, and appear to be reasonable.
Items and 2 pre discussed with J. Roth, the Region I inspector. Mr. Roth has no objection to items 1 and 2.
Conclusion and L.t.omendation Based on the facts summarized above, I believe the license can be amended without undue risk to the public.
Approval of the request for amendment is recomended.
