20555 Management Capabilities Shoreham Nuclear Power Station - Unit 1 Docket No. 50-322
Dear Mr. Denton:
At my meeting of 1.ugust 1, 1983 with Mr.
D.
Eisenhut we discussed a number of options to address strengthening the capa-bilities of the corporate management structure for the opera-tional phase of the shoreham Station.
This letter is intended to advise you of actions I have initiated and to supplement the letter of August 25, 1983 from our President, Mr.
W.
O.
Uhl, in which he outlined the corporate program designed to evaluate the overall capability and effectiveness of the LILCO nuclear-related organization.
Within the Office of Nuclear, the follow-ing has been initiated at this time:
1.
Deputy Vice President-Nuclear - A search for an outside executive, with extensive nuclear management experience is in progress.
BWR background will be given preference.
The person will be brought in as soon as an acceptable candidate is located to provide direct advice and assistance to me.
This person will participate in all activities of the Office of Nuclear and directly support me in the planning, analysis and decision-making responsibilities of my office until it is determined the need for this support is no longer required.
2.
Technical Adviser to Vice President-Nuclear - The general Electric Operations Manager on the Shoreham unit, will con-tinue to serve in a technical and operational advisory capacity to me as we bring the unit into a commercial operat-ing status.
3.
Plant Manager - The present Plant Manager, Mr.
J.
- Rivello, has accepted a Management Development assignment in another

ISLAND LIGHTING COMF%NY Mr. H.
R.
Danton August 26, 1983 SNRC-957 location within the Company.
We are actively pursuing an outside replacement for the Plant Manager who will have extensive BWR operating experience.
Mr. Rivello will con-tinue to support me in the completion of the Shoreham Plant in his present assignment as Plant Manager - Shoreham until an appropriate replacement is hired.
4.
Relocation of Office of Nuclear Personnel - Construction of office facilities and relocation of my remaining organiza-tion to the plant site was scheduled for April, 1984.
I have directed that all work be expedited to move my office, Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Operations Support with maximum efficiency and minimum upset to the work each organ-ization is responsible for.
It is anticipated the support organizations will be functional at the plant site in early first quarter of 1984.
The depth of knowledge and capability of my organiza-tion is significant and provides a solid basis with which I can establish an excellent safety and performance record for Shoreham.
The valid concerns expressed by you and Mr. Eisenhut of limited " hands on" operating experience and its relationship to the first few years of operation is acknowledge and I am moving to alleviate these concerns.
A completion of review of the depth of capability and experience in all areas of my organization will coincide with the Management Associates Corporation effort defined in Mr.
Uhl's letter and I will advise you of additional actions.
I trust the above initiated actions are appropriately responsive and welcome any additional thoughts you my have in this regard.
Very truly yours, W l-b M.
S.
- Pollock, Vice President-Nuclear.
