e we recognize that our commitment was to an earlier ANSI standard which did not identify any alternate method to the ,
Operations Manager holding an operating license on the Unit. '
e The later revision of ANSI /ANS 3.1 does allow for an alternative, which we now would invoke.
- Therefore, this is a change in our commitment, but it does not reduce our commitment from a quality perspective.
- 8. ANSI N18.1-1971, paragraph 4.2.2, states in part, "The operations Manager shall hold a Senior Reactor Operator's Li cense .
NU has developed an alternative to this requirement for the Millstone Unit No. 2 Licence which allows the Assistant Operations Manager to held the SRO License if the Operations Manager has been certified in accordance with section 4.2.2 of ANSI /ANS 3.1-1987.
O V This alternate would only be available for the next three years. This assumes the Operations Manager gets a license or is replaced with a Manager who has the license, before the three year limitation expires.
