SUBJECT:

Comanche Peak S.E.S. Shift Staffing

Dear Mr. Eisenhut:

.The information provided in this transmittal is in response to your May 25, 1984 letter to Mr. M. D. Spence.

The summary of operating shif t experience for the Comanche Peak S.E.S.

transmitted to Mr. Denton on March 8, 1984 is still correct. The subject.

personnel have acquired additional preoperational testing experience at Comanche Peak during the last three months.

Texas Utilities Generating Company (TUGCO) committed to the use of experienced shift advisors at Comanche Peak in November, 1981. This commitment is detailed in the USNRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER),

Supplement No. 1, Section 13.1.2.1 and License Condition No. 6.

Five of the six shift advisors have been on site working with operating personnel both on and off shift since late 1982. A sixth shift advisor was recently added to the group to provide additional manpower in order to satisfy training requirements. Although the sixth individual has not had the same experience at Comanche Peak as have the other shift advisors, the process of integration into the operating staff has already begun and will

. proceed on an accelerated basis. He will not assume on-shift duties and responsibilities until the plant familiarization, shift integration and shift advisor training processes are adequately completed.

s The following. is. in response to the May 25, 1984 information request. For clarity, each request is repeated, followed by the TUGC0 response.

1.iA resume of each shift advisor which highlights his previous experience.

Response : Resumes are forwarded in ' Attachment 2.

2. A copy of J the procedure which describet the, duties and authority of the- shif t" advisors. and the working relationships between the' advisors and the operating shift personnel.

Response : Attachment 3 is a copy. of Procedure ODA-102, "Shif t Complement Responsibilities and Authorities". Section 4.2.6 delineates the responsi-bilities.and authorities of the shift advisors.

3. - A copy of the training program presented to the shif t advisors to assure they-have adequate knowledge of plant specific matters to properly perform their duties.

Re sponse : Attachment 4 is a copy of Procedure TRA-299, " Shift Advisor

-Training and Qualifications". In addition to the training program, described in this procedure, five of the six Comanche Peak shift advisors have been onsite' working with the operating personnel for approximately eighteen months. They were integrated into the operating staff in late 1982 in order to allow time for plant. familiarization,

. input into _ operational philosophies and review of procedures and programs. These shift advisors have experienced preoperational and

- hot ' functional testing as members of the shif t operating crews and have become knowledgeable of plant specific design, layout, procedures and administration and are well prepared to perform their. duties.

4. A copy of the written examination administered to the'shif t advisers and the -results of the examination, if available.

~ Response: Attachr.ent 5 includes copies of the three written examinations administered to the shift advisors and the results of the examinations.

5 A description of and copies of notes regarding the oral examination administered to the shift advisors. ,

Response: No oral examinations have been administered to the shift

' advisors. Plant specific technical knowledge is determined by written examinations as described in the response to request number 4. An p' oral review will be conducted as described in Procedure TRA-299, " Shift Advisor Training and Qualifications", Section 4.3.2 (see response to request number 3).

6. A description of the training ptogram presented to the operating shift crews to assure that they understand the role of the shif t advisors.

Response: Shift advisors at Comanche Peak have been integrated into operating shift crews over the past eighteen months. The position and role of shif t advisor was in place on shif t during hot functional testing and during much of the preoperational tes*ing. The operating shif t crews, therefore, have an excellent understanding of the role of the shift advisor. In order to further enhance this understanding, the role of the shift advisors will be included as a topic in the Comanche Peak Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program.

This training will include the responsibilities and duties of the shift advisors, their qualification requirements and the shift advisor training program. Trainees are subjec't to examination on these topics. This training will be conducted during requalification cycle 84-5, beginning on June 18, 1984 and concluding on July 27, 1984.

7. A statement regarding the medical qualification requirements for the shift advisors.

Response: TUGC0 has no specific medical qualification requirements for shift advisors. By observation of them performing their duties, we have concluded that they have no medical problems impeding that performance. The shift advisors are not licensed on the Comanche Peak plant and, therefore, can perform no licensed duties. In the event that a shift advisor becomes incapacitated while on shift, a qualified replacement will be called in. The same procedure applies to al.1 required shift crew members.

8. A description of the procedures that will be used to evaluate the performance of the shif t advisors during plant start up.

Response: The Operations Supervisor is responsible for evaluating the shift advisors. This evaluation is based on performance and is described in Procedure TRA-299, " Shift Advisor Traiing and Qualifications" (Attachment 4).
