Re: Oconee Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-269 and -270

Dear Mr. Giambusso:

Section 6.1.1.3 of tne Oconee Nuclear Station Technical Specifications, Appendix A to Operating Licenses DPR-38 and DPR-47, states that the station organization for operation, technical support, and maintenance shall be functionally as shown in Figure 6.1-1, " Station Organization Chart". It is requested that Figure 6.1-1 be revised as shown in Attachment 1. l Significant changes in the station organization, proposed in Attachment 1, are as follows:

1. Instrumentation and control personnel will be moved from the Technical Support Group and will report to an Instrument Engineer who reports to the Maintenance and Instrument Engineer.

2. Health physics personnel will report to a Health Physics Supervisor and chemistry personnel will report to the station Chemist. Both supervisors report to the Technical Support Engineer.

The supervisory and professional personnel who will fill the positions shown in Attachment 1 will meet the training and experience requirements described in Sections 4 and 5 of ANSI 18.1, " Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel". Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Oconee FSAR will be revised to re-flect the changes in the station organization. Section 12A.5 will also be revised to show the technical qualifications of supervisory personnel in the proposed organization. These revisions to the FSAR are shown in Attachment 2, and will be incorporated on June 14, 1974.

Mr. Angelo Giambusso The proposed organizational change will strengthen the supervision and adminis-tration of Oconee Nuclear Station, particularly with regard to maintenance activities. Your prompt consideration of this matter is appreciated.

Very truly yours,
