DRAFT #1 DThompson:el OSB:DRL 7/8/70 t
' Conduct of Operations Staffing
..}
~
The applicant has proposed a fairly conventional on-site staff organiza-tion, described in Section 12 of the FSAR and in Amendment 11.
The minimum qualifications for key personnel in the operating organization are-in general agreement with those proposed in the ANS proposed Standard for Selecti8n and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants,with the exceptic.a of experience requirements for the Technical Support and Performance r,
Engineers, the Chemist snd the Maintenance Supervisor.
We shall require that Technical Specifications delineating minimum qualifications for these posi-tions be consistent with the ANS propose'd standard.
With the exception of the subject of shif t crew size, discussed below, we have concluded that the operating and technical support organization for normal operation proposed by the applicant is satisfa'ctory.
Shift Crew Size The applicant has proposed to operate the facility with a smaller shif t crew size th m we consider acceptable. We have informed the applicant that minimum crew sizes of five men for Unit 1 operation, eight men for operation of Units 1 and 2, and twelve men for all three units will be required, and have described the required crew composition with respect to numbers and types of AEC licenses needed on each shif t.
We have also indicated to-the applicant that we are willing to consider smaller crew dizes after significant operating experience has been obtained.

Augmentation of Staff for Initial Startup t
We have not received sufficient information concerning the startup organi-zation to evaluate this phase of operation.
7 is information was requested of the applicant in February,1970.
Training The training program outlined for the operating staff is a coaventional program provided by the applicant and the NSSS vendor, supplemented by assignment of key personnel to the Saxton reactor to gain operating n
experience.
Subject to satisfactory compl_ tion of license examinations of those individuals proposed for AEC licensing, we conclude that the training program is acceptable.
Review and Audit s.
The applicant has stated, in Amendment 11, his intent to provide for 44 review and audit of plant operations independent of the line organiza-tion.
We shall require that additional details of his arrangements for this function be included in the Administration Section of the Technical Specifications, in a manner similar to that provided for other plants recently licensed.
Emergency Planning The applicant has provided in Amendment 11 a discussion of the general aspects of his emergency plan.
We have requested that the Emergency Plan '
proper be pr'vided for our evaluation.
While we find the descriptive material furnished to date to be generally acceptable, we reserve judgment on the overall adequacy of the emergency plan until we have had the opportunity to evaluate it in toto.

3-Industrial Security Provisions for industrial security described by the applicant in Amendment 11
~
include perimeter fencing, gate and door actiss control and a closed-circuit television and remote control lock system for off-hour identification and admission of personnel to the facility. Appropriate controls over access to Units 1 & 2 by construction personnel working on the unitsstill under constfuction have been proposed.
We conclude that the provisions for industrial security are adequate.
,o im"
_ Initial Tests and Operation The information provided by the applicant to date regarding the pre-operational, startup and power ascension tests is inadequate for evaluation af the overall program. We shall continue to work with the applicant to secure better documentation of their proposed test program. As usual, the Division of Compliance will verify the adequacy of the test procedures as part of its inspection program.
