Robert A. Clark, Cnief Reactor Safeguards Licensing Branch Division of Operating Reactors
SUBJECT:
MANPOWER SHARING FOR OPEPATING REACTORS -
REVIEW GUIDELINE NO. 19 The NRC has established requirements for personnel at a single unit operating nuclear power plant for purposes of plant operation, industrial security and fire fighting. The following discussion consicers the extent to which security personnel may also be tempo-rarily allowed to mar, a fire brigade in the event of a fire.
It is reasonable to allow a limited amount of sharing of plant personnel in satisfying the requirements of plant operation, security and fire protection. An acceptable sharing scheme would entail reliance on some members of the security organization to constitute the fire brigade. Since availability of the full fire brigade would only be required for the most serious fires, actual distribution of plant personnel during a plant emergency would be governed by the exigencies of the situation.
It should be recognized that the diversion of security personnel to the fire brigade would be cf short duration and that substantial additional offsite assist-ance would be forthcoming in accordance with the emergency and contingsney plans developed for each facility.
In the event of a fire, a contingency plan and procedures will be used in deploying the security organization to assure that an appropriate level of physical protection is maintained during the The staff has determined that it is possible in the planning event.
for site response to a fire, to assign a maximum of three members of the security organi:ation to serve on the fire brigade and still provide an acceptable level of physical oretection. While certain security posts must be mannsd continuously (e.g. CAS, SAS), the personael in other assignments, including the response force, could be temporarily (i.e. 30 minutes) assigned to the fire brigade.
For a culti-unit facility, the extent to which security personnel assigned to man a fire brigade in the event of a fire must be i

The previous dis-cussion should be considered when determining the maximum number of security organization members to serve on the fire brigade and still provide an acceptable level of physical protection for multi-i unit sites.
