ddustrial Security We have requested the_ applicant to submit his provisions for the protection of the Oconee Nuclear Station from industrial sabotage. An Industrial Security Plan will be submitted by the applicant as a proprietary document prior to the ACRS meeting. We will review the Plan and verify that it meets the intent of Safety Guide N.17, " Protection Against Industrial Sabotage."
Test and Startup Program l
The test and startup program implementation is the responsibility of the Duke power Company. The program will be conducted with the assistance of Babcock and Wilcox (B & W), and the Bechtel Corporation. A Test Working Group, consisting of personnel from the Oconce Nucicar Station (the Super-intendent, Assistant Superintendent, the Station Review Committee, and the Station Test Coordinator assignei to the test) and B & W, has been established toscoordinate activities during the preoperational test program. Assistance, as required, will be obtained from the Duke Engineering, Construction, Steam Production, and Electrical, Maintenance, and Construction Departments. A representative of the Oconee Nuclear Station will be chairman of the Test Working Group.
The purpose of the test and startup program is to assure that the equipment and systems perform in accordance with design criteria, to effect initial fuel loading in n safe and efficient manner, to determine the nucicar parameters, and to bring the unit to rated capacity. We have concluded that the tmst and startup program described by the applicant will provide an adequate basis to confirm the safe operation of the station, and is acceptable.
