Date Planning to Enhance Resident Engineer P. ole January 25. T780 gm.i

.~.

PRIVATE AND C01:FICE*TTTAL Starting with our discussions of the role of Lee Rcgers and the THI-2 incident, we have had several discussions in the-area of planning for increased support, training and better definition of th'e role of the Resident Engineer in our organization. In reviewing in my mind remarks that I might make to the Resident Engineers. next week, it occurs to ce q

that, those discussicns have proceeded without closure.

1 Therefore, I request that yeu talk with me early next week'and review where we stand. The objective would be for you to prepare an outline as a course of action which would bring this subject to a closure. I believe the various points that should be cevered in such an approach.,

in which we have discussed at various times, include the following:

What training is needed to upgrade the Resident Engineer's o

i capability in his various functicns as a support for operation, contact for maintenance work, as well as a representative for business?

What steps should be taken against what schedule to put o

selected people into a pipeline such that at an appropriate

. time the present Resident Engineers can be relieved with a better prepared and stronger representative which I believe will be necessary in the enviromtent in w? rich we work, f.e., with the higher salaries, the greater nucter of college graduates that the utilitics will be ;utting into the operating function, including the improved quality I

of management representation at the site we will need to upgrade the resources that we delegate to this function or provide otherwise. Scmathing like an identified nur.ber of premising people who are spotted thrcughout our organization at the present tirne with an understanding that they are candidates and when it is apprcpriate would be selected to trove out to the field and t '<e over the Resident Engineer position. I believe.se have talked on a time scale of having such replacements take ;1 ace starting in 1981.

RE Kostba to CM Olds _-

January 26, 1980 Do we need to change the organitational location of Resident o

Engineer in order to provide the type of person that will be needed in the envirorcent of le!0-817 o ' What steps need we take with the managecent of the utility in order to enable our Resident Engineer to be a ecst effective representative on our behalf?

What steps should we take within the Division to provide o

information, guidance, and instruction to the Division so as to enhance the role of the Resident Engineer?

Would appreciate talking with you about this subject on Tuesday. Looking forward to being able to talk a piece of working paper for the approach sometime in the two weeks that follow.
