As the result of a meeting in your offices on December 13, 1979, between your Mr. E. L. Conner, Jr. and Mr. C. Nelson and our Fr. R. E. Denton, we became aware that you find portions of our proposed plans to imolement the requirements of the subject report to be unacceptable. Specifically, our plans to utilize one of our oresent on-snift Senior Operator License (SOL) holders to perfom a dedicated accident assessment function for either of our units which may be affected by an accident situation have found 'y your staff o
to be inadequate. The major concern excressed at the meeting centered on the staffing level of the " unaffected" unit, in that our procesal would dedicate both of the SOL nolders on shif t to the unit affected by an accident.
It is therefore postulateo by your staff that either the accident " command and control" function performed by the Shif t Supervisor or the " accident assessment" function perfomed by the Senior Control Room Operator (SCRC) may be diluted by a need to monitor the unaffected unit. Since our proposal, set forth in detail by references (1) and (2), provides for two Operator License (OL) holders to be available to the controls of the unaffected unit, we do not share the concern of your staff that an immediate need for an 50L holder to monitor the non-accident unit would exist. We believe that until the personnel augmentation provided j404 %

.:2 Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation December 14, 1979 for by the Site Emergency Plan occurs, the unit would be adequately controlled and monitored by the available OL holders, or that satisfactory provisions could be made fcr a standby 50L holder to be called in. Such alternatives were discussed hnd deemed by your staff not to be in concert with your position on this subject. Therefore, in order to provide the capability to dedicate two 50L holders to the affected unit and concurrently provide an S0L holder to conitor the non-accident unit, we plan to add a third SOL holder to each of our normal shifts. To do so will require upgrading approximately three of our oresent OL holders to an SOL level.
Such upgrading will naturally involve some additional training and the required NRC-administrated examination. Until these additional personnel are available, commencing on January 31, 1980, we plan to provide coverage for the accident assessment function described by references (1) and (2) as follows:
(1) When both units are in an operational mode other than Cold Shutdown or Refueling (Modes 5 and 6), each shift will be staffad by at least three SOL holders or a minimum of two 50L holders and a person with a B.S. cegree in Engineering or the physical sciences.
(2) When one or both units is in Cold Snutdown or Refueling, a minimum of two SOL holders (per the requirements of our plant Technical Specifications) will be provided en each shift.
We believe the above commitment satisfies your reouirements; should you have further questions on this matter, we would be pleased to discuss them with you.
Very tru you r, -
Jw' A. E. Lundvall, Jr.
