lho technical qu<lifications of the Commonwealth Edison Company and the onsite personnel are ' detailed in Chapter 13 of the '.SCS FSAR on file with the floclear Regulatory Commission in Docket flo s 50-373 and 50-374.
In addition to ti c responsibTe porsonnel indentified in Chapter 13 of the FSAR, the St -tion fluclear Materials Custodian (:1() also becomes
~
involved in tha i occipt and handling of Special fluc har Materials at the S ta ti on.
The individual assuming the responsibilit es of the fiMC will have training and experience in reactor ongineer',ng as well as technical expertise in rero tor, nuclear fuel, and nuclear ins' rur:entation design.
The fluclear Materials Custodian is'primarily respon ibile for the control of Special f4uclwr Material (5!N) at the plant site Ilis responsibilities include:
inventorying and maintaining records of in/aaent and location of Std, and preparation of necessary reports verifying receipt of nucle ~ar f nel, all fuel transfers within the Station, and alI fuel shipments from t he station.
SP cific methods of performing these f unctions are defined
'in Company and ",tation procedures.
