1.p, M'/ 2 5 1953 A. Schwencer, Reactor Projects Branch f3 Diviaica of Reactor Licensin8 cr'g:nal SYed bv IHEU: Dudley Tho=pson, Chiefceay immesen Operational Safety Branch, DRL MEETING WITH DUK3 PCWER CCMPGf REGARDING OCCNES Un'.S 1 & 2 POL AP?LICA-f TION, DOCKET NO. 50-26N270 A meating was held November 19, 1969, with Duke Power Company personnel.
The areaa of discussion were the proposed =ethod of operation and the testing program.
Ccamenta and observations for each subject are given below.
Sins;1e-Unit Crew Sise The DRL position for sinimum acceptable crew size for sin 61e-unit opera-tion was stated for the applicant's information. This position requires five men per shift includin6 three licensed operators. After reaching commercial operation, the requirement for one of the unlicensed operators
=ay be valved except for startups and scheduled shutdowns.
Out positica was reasonably well received by Duke since it did not differ su1stantially from their own requirements. Duke suggested the criteria for reducing the shift size be based upon the completion of the appropri-ate power testing at each power level rather than "ena=9arcial operation."
This would allow the use of a four-man shift at a power level less than 100% provided the testing at that level had been completed and some contingency prevented further escalation to full rated output. We agreed this approach vus reasonsM g and tha exact details vould be finalized prior to approval of the technical cpecifications.
Dual-Unit Crev 3ize Ikike made a short presentation stating that Oconeo 1 3: 2 controla had been laid out in such an arrangement that four men per shift could effee-tively control both units from a common control room.
Such a practice was common in their never dual-unit coal-fired stations now in operation.
Our position was that eight men per shift vould be required unless justi-fication for less could be provided. At this time, Duke is unprepared to supply additional personnel to staff a shift of this size. An early resolution should be agreed upon in order to provide time for selection and training of the necessary personnel.

-d-fl0V 2 5 EU During the general diacussion regarding dual-unit operation, Duke stated that ene operator could at times be expected to monitor the operation of both units if the rc:ainder of the crev vere occupied with other duties cutside of the control room. We stated that such operation was totally unacceptable and that this subject vculd be addressed specifically in the technical specifications.
thereen:y Plan A general description of the overall emergency plan was given by the applicant. A preliminary copy of the plan ves left with DEL for com::lents.
Duke was advised that a formal submittal of the plan including sedical preparedness arran6e:nents vould be required at a later date.
In.iuatrial Jecurity The applicant outlined the security measures to be taken during operation of Unit il while the remaining unite are still under construction. These measures vill include a permiter fence with gate guards who vill account for the entry and exit or personnel, closed circuit TV for back-shift gate sonitorin6 and tagging and adMnistrative control for operating equipment.
In response to the statement of our position requiring that Die evaluate the sensitive areas of their plant and provide suitable security sensures to prevent simple acts of sabotage, the applicant expressed considerable reluctance. This objection appeared to be based largely upon what could logically be termed " simple acts of sabotage."
The resolution of this item was not settled to the satisfaction of all parties.
Health Physice Sbift Cupport Duke intends to have at least one man per shift qualified to perform the duties of a Health Physics Technician.
Crosa-Licensing of Orara+Ars Duke intends that all licensed personnel vill hold licenses for all three units at the Oconee Station. 'This arrangement vill allow the mav4 = =
flexibility in shift staffin6
A. Schweneer D25 :553 Startup Organization Dike expects ten nen to be " cold licensed" for initial plant startup. Of these ten men, two will be maagement personnel, leaving e16 t licensed h
operators to supervise plant operations until additicnal operators are obtained.
B 3. W vill not supply startup operating perscanel but will provide eight to twelve people to assist in test evt.Lustion and technical assis-tance. Supervision and performance of all test work vill be done entirely by Duke operating personnel.
Initial Testing and Power Eacalation Basic discussions in this area revolved around our contention that Duke aboul:1 provide us with the following infomation for each test vbich could have safety significance:
n.
Test objective, b.
Plant preraquisites, c.
General description of nethod including major steps, d.
Acceptance criteria with allovable deviations.
Duke agreed this information vould be available in one form er the other prior to testin6 However, they objected to submitting it on the grounds auch a submittal vould be voluminous and subject to change at the last sinute.
An agreement was reached whereby Duke would prepare the above infor :ation for a zapresentative test. At a meeting later, ve vill review the prepa-ration and identify the anfety areas we believe significant.
