Dear Mr. Youngblood:
(-
Reference:
Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 i

Subject:
Radiation Protection Manager (RPM)
[
Qualifications As you are aware, Edison has selected Mr. John Bobba as the new Fermi 2 Radiation Protection Manager.
To document Mr. Bobba's qualifications, Edison is submitting the following informations a)
A comparison of Mr. Bobba's experience in the radiation protection field with the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 1.8 (Attachment 1), and b)
A summary of Mr. Bobba's experience in both the naval and commercial nuclear industries (Attachment 2).
This information was previously discussed in a telephone conversation with the NRC staff reviewer (F. Skopec) on l
June 15, 198 4.
Based on the information provided, I
Mr. Skopec indicated that although Mr. Bobba's educational l
background did not completely conform with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.8, it appeared that his experience at commercial and naval nuclear ~ plants did provide the desired i
background.
l Mr. Bobba's experience will be appropriately documented in a forthcoming amendment to FSAR.

ATTACHMENT 1: REGULATORY' GUIDE 1.8 COMPARISON -
.e The discussion below provides ~a' detailed.~ comparison of Mr. John
^
~
~ '
[P.3 Bobba's qualifications' with those suggested by Regulatory-Guide 1.8.
f The Radiation Protection Manager:*
"shouldLbe an experienced professional _in applied radiation protection'
~
at nuclear facilitiesidealing with radiation protection.problema and' programs similar.to those at nuclear power stations."
As indicated below, Mr. Bobba has had significant experience. in the radiation. protection field at several different -nuclear ' power stations;in various modes oft operation and shutdown.
"should be familiar with-the design features end' operations of nuclear power stations that affect the potential. for-exposures of persons to radiation."
Mr. Bobba has seven years'(1964-1971) of naval experience in which he dealt with the maintenance and operation of a naval (PWR) reactor during which he qualified as an Engineering Watch Supervisor and Engineering Laboratory Technician.' In addition,.
Mr. Bobba has over.four years (1971-1976) of design and systems
.(both primary and secondary) work with Stone and Webster Corporation.. This experience has familiarized Mr. Bobba with the ALARA concerns considered in the initial design of plant systems.
His operations experience with the navy and his subsequent work as an HP. in operating and shutdown plants -(over eight years experience) has provided'him the knowledge necessary to properly
~
implement a radiation protection program.
"should have the technical competence-to establish radiation protection programs and the supervisory capability to direct the work of professionals, technicians'and' journeymen required to implement.the radiation protection programs."
The technical background delineated above, coupled with eight years (1976-present) of health physics (HP) experience at both operating (e.g., Connecticut Yankee) and shutdown (e.g., Calvert Cliffs, TMI, Peach Botton) plants' provide Mr. Bob'aa with the required background needed to establish and implement radiation protection programs. Throughout the twenty years (1964-present)
Mr. Bobba 'has been involved in the naval and comnercial nuclear industries,- he has worked in numerous supervisory positions,-
overseeing the work of professionals, journeymen and technicians.
Mr. Bobbs was ' previously the Fermi 2 General Supervisor Radwaste.
- The quoted passages are from the " Regulatory Position" portion of Regulatory Guide 1.8.
P.
~
n
- r "should have a bachelor's d gree.or ' the equivalent in a science. or
~
engineering subject, including-some formal training in radiation protection."
Mr.' Bobba has an associates degree in mechanical engineering.
s technology.' In addition,; he. attended naval technical schools, including the nuclear power school which involved HP courses ~as part of the curriculum.=
"should have at least. five years of professional experience in applied radiation protection., At least three years of this professional experience.should be in applied radiation' protection work in'a nuclear-f acility dealing with radiological problems similar to those
- encountered-in nuclear power. stations, preferably in an actual nuclear
. power station."-
' A summary of the. work which.Mr. Bobba.has either supervised or been involved with is presented in Attachment 2.
This summary indicates that he has spent eight years in the HP field and is qualified to developg and implement the Fermi 2 radiation Protection Program.-
