Dear Mr. Denton:
1 As requested by Mr. Robert L. Tedesco's letter of September 3,1980, this letter provides a detailed discussion and description of the proposed licensed operator staffing plan for McGuire Nuclear Station. is an excerpt from the McGuire Nuclea Station Technical Specifications showing the minimum shift crew composition required for McGuire Unit 1.
Note that the minimum shift complement consists of one shift supervisor with a senior reactor operator's license, one senior reactor operator, two reactor operators, two nuclear equipment operators, and one shift technical advisor. Note that the comments marked on this sheet are Duke Power Company's outstanding comments on the draft specification., McGuire Operator Staffing, shows the breakdown of total licensees, individuals in training, individuals available and the minimum requirements for McGuire operator staffing from September, 1980 through July, 1981. An explanation of this esble is provided as follows:
j SENIOR REACTOR OPERATORS I
At present McGuire Nuclear Station is staffed with 16 senior reactor operators. This includes 11 individuals who are designated as either shift supervisors or assistant shift supervisors.
(Assistant shift supervisors are qualified to provide relief as necessary under the Technical Specification requirement for shift supervisors (SS). There-fore, these individuals have been combined in one category.)

e Mr. Harold R. Denton, Dire; tor September 18, 1980 Page Two additional SRO's hold staff engineering positions.
Included in these five individuals are the Superintendent of Operations and four other Operating Engineers. The four Operating Engineers can be made avail-able to man shift positions if necessary.
During the week of September'8, 1980 6 applicants for an SR0/20 license and 6 applicants for an SRO license who are currently R0 licensees took their NRC exams. As shown in the table under October, 1980, it is assumed that 5 of the 6 shift supervisors in training will receive SRO licensees bringing the total shif t supervisors with SRO licenses to 16.
It is also assumed that 1 of the 2 other candidates for an SRO license will be included in the SRO position and 2 of the 3 staff enginec ts will i
receive SRO licenses. Note that the other SRO candidate will be assigned temporarily to training and is not included in the chart. This 1
will result in a total of 24 individuals with SRO licenses with 17 of these individuals assigned to shifts.
Individuals with SRO licenses who will be working on shif t remains at i
17 until July of 1981. At this point it is assumed that 1 individual will be lost due to attrition or transfer.
REACTOR OPERATORS There are 12 individuals at McGuire Nuclear Station who hold Reactor Operator licenses. There was one applicant for an R0 license in the September 8, 1980 class.
It is assumed that this individual and the S00/R0 candidate who did not receive an SRO license, obtains an R0 license bringing the total R0 licensees to 14.
Subtracting the 4 RO liceusees who are assumed to obtain SRO licenses as discussed above equals the 10 RO licensees shown in the table under October, 1980.
A training class for the RO position will begin October 13, 1980. A second training class for this position will begin in January, 1981.
Each of these classes will contain 12 individuals.
It is assumed that 10 of these individuals will obtain R0 licenses by May of 1981 and an aGditional 10 will obtain licenses by July of 1981. Note that the number of R0 licensees indicated on the table for July, 1981, i.e. 25, assumes that 4 of these individuals will be lost due to attrition or transfer.
SHIF't TECHNICAL ADVISOR In regard to the Shift Technical Advisor, all senior reactor operator licensees at McGuire have received additional academic and simulator training and would be qualified to serve as Shift Technical Advisors.
These individuals, however, may be assigned to other operating positions.
Eleven individuals have been placed in an interim short-term training class designed to provide additional training for the Shift Technical Advisor pcsition. One of these individuals wi.ll be temporarily assigned to a training position. The other 10 individuals are shift supervisors v
Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director September 18, 1980 Page Three who either have an SRO license or should obtain their SRO license by October, 1980. The 8 Shift Technical Advisors noted under October, 1980 is conservative in that it is assumed that 2 of those individuals who are candidates for SR0 licenses will not receive these licenses.
Beginning in January, 1981 an expanded training program meeting the commitments made to the NRC in regard to TMI items will be implemented.
Planning for staffing in this regard has not been completed; however, the program will assure that additional Shift Technical Advisors are qualified as necessary to meet requirements.
NUCLEAR EQUIPMENT OPERATORS The staffing chart provides the number of qualified nuclear equipment operators. Note that qualified nuclear equipment operators who are placed in training for an RO license are deleted from the total licensees indicated on the table as equipment operators.
Beginning in October, 1981 through 1983 approximately 13 individuals will be l
hired to be trained as nuclear equipment operators per year. Approximately 12 l
nuclear equipment operators will be placed in training for R0 licenses per year.
It is assumed that 10 of these individuals will obtain an RO license.
In addi-tion, approximately 3 individuals will be placed in training for a senior reactor operators license. It is assumed that two of these individuals will obtain their license. These numbers may vary due to the effects of transfers, attrition or test failures.
From September, 1980 through the first part of July, 1981 four eight-hour shifts will be utilized. Twelve senior reactor operators will be assigned to shifts to man the operating positions of shif t supervisor, senior reactor operator and Shift Technical Advisor. Two additional senior reactor operators will be assigned as relief individuals to accommodate training, vacations, holidays, etc.
Eight reactor operators will be assigned to shif ts with two additional reactor operators assigned as relief personnel.
l l
The long-range goal of the staffing plan for McGuire Unit 1 is to establish a five-shift structure with one shift dedice.ed to training. This should be established by July, 1981. The minimum requirement to meet this goal will be 15 l
senior reactor operators, 10 reactor operators and 10 nuclear equipment operators.
Note that by July, 1981 a minimum of 22 senior reactor operators, 25 reactor I
operators and 30 nuclear equipment operators will be available to fill these positions.
l In regard to McGuire Unit 2, staffing plans for this unit are still in prepara-tion (the McGuire Unit 2 current schedule for fuel load is June, 1982). The minimum staffing requirement will increase at that time by 5 senior reactor i
operators 8 reactor opera )rs and 8 nuclear equipment operators. It is felt that there are, sufficient manpos r resources available as of July, 1981, as shown in the table, to fill these acJitional positions or to provide the required training to fill these positions by June of 1982.
Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director September 18, 1980 Page Four We would like to emphasize that the above discussion and the attached staffing chart will be used for guidance only and will be adjusted as necessary to meet our staffing requirements.
Pleas advise if you have any questions.
Ver' truly yours,
