SUMMARY
The pouring of concrete in the reactor building around the dry well has progressed to the next-to-the-top floor level.
l The compressible material between the dry well and the concrete shield was observed.
t Major mechanical equipment in the turbine building is in place.
The operating staff is now on-site.

1 A visit was made to the Jersey Central Power & Light l
1 Company reactor, under construction at Oyster Creek, New j
j Jersey, by Mr. John R. Sears, Reactor Inspector, Region I, l
Division of compliance, on November 15, 1966.
The visit,'

Results of Visit A.
Tour i
The inspector toured the construction site in company with GE and Jersey Central representatives.
It was observed that major pieces of equipment had been installed in the turbine j
- building, e.g.,
the turbine shell, the condenser, some-tanks.
The installation of some larger sized piping--is in progress.
i During the, tour, a concrete floor slab was being poured r
. for the next-to-the-top floor ' of the reactor building.
The.
i concrete biological shielding around the dry well had been l
poured to this level.
The inspector observed that.compressibl,e material,. which appeared to be similar' to mineral asbestos j
insulation, had been applied to the sides of the dry.well.. This j
was covered by thin polyethylene sheets.
Mr. Dunning stated j
that-after all the concrete is-placed around.this material and i
has set, the atmosphere in the dry well will. be raised' to
}
0 280 F and 20 psig in order to compress the compressible covering. -
He stated that GE engineers have calculated that when the dry l
. well atmosphere then returns to ambient conditions,: the shrinkage j
i should leave a one half inch gap between the dry well and the-concrete.
Mr. Dunning described the alternate methods-being l
l used at Niagara Mohawk and at Tarapur to allow for dry.well l
expansion at MCA conditions, and said that simple economics of installation c osts will determine which method will be
' l used for future facilities.

, ji Mr. Tom McCluskey, Plant Superintendent, stated that the
.; j'i following Jersey central people are now resident'at.the' sites j
Mr. Tom McCluskey, Plant' Superintendent, Mr. Richard Doyle,
+
y-Chemistry Supervisor; Mr. Dbnald Kaulback, Radiation Protection Engineer; Mr. Norman Nelson, Maintenance Engineer;:Mr.' Woody Riggle, Electrical Foreman; Mr. Fred Cassady, Mechanical Foreman; and also two chemical technicians, two. radiation protection technicians, ten operators and four shift
- foreman, s
i He stated that the Technical Engineer and two.
}
assistants are at GE, San Jose, California, for_ training.-
t Mr. McCluskey said that the operators had been i
l-chosen from conventional' plant operators who had. bid for the
[
. job.
Successful candidates were' selected on the basis of
[
a series of screening tests.. They were given.a'six week l
course in reactor. engineering at Morristown, followed by l
'I ten months of practical on-the-job training at.Saxton.
Each operator on-site has been assigned a system of the
.l plant and is presently reading manufacturer's -literature.
[
on system components toward the goal of writing operating procedures and cautions.
Mr. McCluskey stated that it is
{
not standard practice in Jersey central's conventional w
d..
plants to operate via written procedure, but he affirmed that the Oyster creek plant will be operated via' written procedure because of its newness and the operator's lack of familiarity with such a facility.
