(a) Radiation Assessment Branch Reviewer Site Visit and SER Chapter 12 Open Is. sues Resolution Meeting, February 26, 1982 In response to discussions with the Radiation Assessment Branch (RAB) reviewer, the following information is transmitted to the NRC Staff to facilitate their completion of Chapter 12 of the Midland Safety Evaluation Report (SER). These items and their resolution were discussed during a site visit by the reviewer and the subsequent public resolution meeting (Reference a).

The following is a list of the current open issues in SER Chapter 12, Radiation Protection, and their proposed resolution.

1. During conversations with the Chapter 12 reviewer, the NRC concluded that the designated Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) for the Midland Plant was not qualified to Regulatory Guide 1.8 standards due to a lack of operational nuclear experience. It was noted however, that the RPM at Midland would be supported by a number of experienced Health Physics personnel. As a consequence, it was determined by the NRC that an i

additional six weeks of supervisory level experience at an operational nuclear power plant would be required of the designated RPM in order to sa tisfy Regulatory Guide 1.8 guidelines. Consumers Power Company hereby commits to send the Midland RPM to an operating nuclear power plant for six additional weeks of experience in order to resolve this issue.
