CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Docket 50-155 Request for Change to the Technical Specifications License DPR-6 For the reasons hereinafter set forth, it is requested t'aat the Technical Specifications contained in Provisional Operating License DPR-6, Docket 50-155, be changed as described in Section I below:
I.
Change A.
Add Section 6.3 2 as follows:
"6.3 2 Either the Health Physicist or the Chemistry and Radiation Protection Supervisor shall meet or exceed the qualifications of Regulatory Guide 1.8, September 1975.(1}"
(1)For the purpose of this section " Equivalent," as utilized in Regulatory Guide 1.8 for the bachelor's degree requirement, may be mtt with four years of any one or combination of the following:
(a) Formal schooling in science or engineering; or (b) operational or technical experience / training in nu-clear power.
Note: See attachment for proposed page change.
II.
Discussion This proposed Technical Specifications addition is submitted in accordance with Mr Ziemann's recommendation dated March 15, 1977 In discussions with your staff concerning the implementation of Regulatory -
Guide 1.8, the requirement that the Radiation Protection Manager (Health Physicist) "...should have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a science 2
or an engineering subject...." was addressed.
It is Consu=ers Power Company's position that the equivalency to a bachelor's degree is a minimum of four years cperational or technical experience / training in nuclear power, and specifically for the Health Physicist, in radiological protection and con-trols. This interpretation will allow highly competent technicians without bachelor's degrees to assume the position of Health Physicist as long as the other requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8 are met.
k The submission of this Technical Specifications change request is based upon the understanding that this interpretation is acceptable.
