NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 2
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20566-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N0.190 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-65 NORTHEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY THE CONNECTICUT LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY THE WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC COMPANY MILLSTONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION. UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET N0. 50-336 1.0 JURODUCTION By letter dated August 31, 1995, the Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNEC0 or the licensee) requested an amendment to change the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 2.
The proposed amendment would revise the Technical Specifications by removing the phrase "other than Millstone Unit No. 2" from the Administrative Controls Section 6.3.1, Item (a).
2.0 BACKGROUND
. DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION Amendment No. 178 issued on August 11, 1994, requires an individual who serves as the Operations Manager to either hold a Millstone Unit No. 2 Senior Reactor Operator (SR0) license or have held an SR0 license at another pressurized water reactor other than Millstone Unit No. 2.
If the Operations Manager does not hold a Millstone Unit No. 2 SR0 license, then an individual serving as the Assistant Operations Manager (newly created position) would be required to possess an SR0 license at Millstone Unit No. 2.
This individual would be required to meet the requirements for and would have the responsibilities as recommended by the American Nuclear Standards Institute (ANSI)/American National Standard (ANS)-3.1-1987 for the Operations Middle Manager position.
It was never the intent of the licensee to exclude an individual from the Operations Manager position who had held a Millstone Unit No. 2 SRO license in the past, but who is no longer licensed. Removing the phrase "other than Millstone Unit No. 2" does not diminish the qualifications for the position of Operations Manager. An individual who previously manitained an SR0 license on Millstone Unit No. 2 would have the level of expertise expected of any individual who has held an SR0 license at another pressurized water reactor.
In addition the individual would further have plant specific knowledge on Millstone Unit No. 2.
Therefore, the proposed change is acceptable.
