AFFIDAVIT OF C.
PAUL YUNDT COALITION FOR SAFE POWER'S CONTENTION NO. 3 1.
My name is C.
Paul Yundt.
I am employed by Portland General Electric Company (PGE) as General Manager of the Trojan Nuclear Plant.
I have been employed in this position since September 4, 1979.
My professional qualifications are contained in an attachment to this affidavit.
2.
I am responsible for safe conduct of operations, main-tenance and modification activities onsite at the Trojan Nuclear Plant.
Since my assignment as General Manager at Trojan, PGE personnel under my supervision have participated in review of the safety aspects of the Trojan Control Building modification program described in Licensee's responses to the numerous NRC Staff questions.
My responsibilities as Plant General Manager include approval of safety evaluations for, and oversight of the Plant Staff review of all safety-related modifications onsite.
3.
The purpose of this affidavit is to address, in part, Contention No. 3 of the Coalition for Safe Power (CFSP),
which reads as follows:
8003130Q. %
CFSP #3 Page 2 of 5 C.
P.
Yundt Plant Staff review of proposed modifications is inadequate to assure no violations of Technical Specifications will occur.
4.
The affidavit of Mr. Richard C.
Anderson of Bechtel cn this contention describes the purpose of work plans which will be prepared by Bechtel for each portion of the modification work.
In this affidavit I will describe the PGE Plant Staff and explain the review of the Bechtel work plans that will be conducted by members of the Plant Staff to assure that none of the work tasks will violate any of the Technical Specifications of the Operating License.
5.
The Plant Staff consists of the Plant operators and the support staffs, which include engineers, technicians, main-tenance craftsmen, warehouse and administrative personnel and quality assurance inspectors.
The general function of the Plant Staff is to operate and maintain the Plant in a safe manner consistent with the Operating License and Technical Specifications.
As described below, within the Plant Staff the responsibility for review of work plans for consistency with Technical Specifications and the Plant's administrative procedures is entrusted to the Plant Quality Assurance Staff headed by the Quality Assurance Supervisor.
6.
The limited purpose of the Plant Staff's review of work plans is to assure that the work itself, as specified in the work plans, will comply with Technical Specifications and the Plant's administrative controls.
This type of review is not

P. Yundt unique to the modification work; it is routinely conducted for any work plan which governs quality related work activities onsite.
The Plant Staff's review of work plans for the modifi-cation work is not a review of either the adequacy or the effectiveness of the modification design.
It does not involve preparation of the safety evaluation of the modification work, and it is not a review of compliance with quality assurance requirements.
Those additional separate reviews are described in PGE-1020, Sections 4.3.1, 4.3.2, and 6, respectively.
7.
After Bechtel prepare: the work plans, they will be submitted to PGE's Resident Engineer, whose approval is re-quired before any work can be performed.
As explained in the affidavit of Mr. Anderson on this contention, these work plans are detailed written instructions and procedures for the performance of specific modification tasks.
The work plans can include design drawings and specifications, as well as supplier documents and applicable codes and standards or references thereto.
8.
Under PGE's administrative procedures, prior to any approval of work plans by the Resident Engineer he must first obtain the written concurrence of the Plant's Quality Assur-ance Staff.
The Plant Quality Assurance Supervisor, and/or members of his Staff, will review each modification task for performance of the modification work, as set out in the work plans, against the Technical Specifications and Plant adminis-trative procedures taking into account the operating status of the Plant.
The members of the Plant's Quality Assurance
CFSP #3 Page 4 of 5 C.
P. Yundt Staff who will review the work plans have backgrounds in Plant operation, and performance of their duties routinely requires identification of Technical Specifications applicable to activities in and around the Plant.
Their experience encom-passes related disciplines such as radiation protection and welding.
If their review identifies questions concerning the work to be done that requires consultation with additional disciplines, they have ready access to other personnel within the Plant Staff and within PGE's engineering, design and con-struction staffs.
Should the Plant Staff's review reveal any aspect of the work which would conflict with a Technical Specification or Plant administrative procedures, that aspect will be changed.
9.
The review by the Plant Staff of Bechtel's work plans will assure that the planned work will not violate Technical Specifications or the Plant's administrative procedures.
If any conflicts are identified, Bechtel's work plans will be changed so that the work will be done in compliance with the Technical Specifications and Plant administrative procedures.
