Furthermore, two new senior level management positions have been created.

e
. communication, responsiveness, and effectiveness of operations at the plant by creating specifi: functional lines of responsibility.
The licensee has revised TS Sections 6.1, 6.2.2.5, 6.2.2.6, 6.3.1, and 6.4 to reflect the stated revised management and title changes.
The NRC staff finds these changes acceptable _ as they accurately reflect the revised organization.
The licensee has also proposed changes to the PORC composition listed in TS Section 6.5.1(A) which include both title and restructuring changes.
The
- changes reflect the plant's management reorganization. As proposed, the General Manager-0perations, the General Manager-Support Services, and the
. General Manager-Maintenance would act as Vice-Chairmen / Members.
The Site Engineering Manager, a new position is also to the included as a PORC member.
Specifically,-the composition of the PORC would be:
Chairman:
Resident Manager Vice-Chairman / Member General Manager-0perations Vice-Chairman / Member:
General Manager-Support Services Vice-Chairman / Member:
General Manager-Maintenance Member:
Operations Manager Member:
Maintenance Manager Member:
Technical Services Manager Member:
Instrument and Controls Manager
_ Member:
Radiological and Environmental Services Manager Member:
-Site Engineering Manager Member:
Reactor Analyst Supervisor The changes to the composition of the PORC result in an increase in Committee membership from eight individuals.to eleven individuals. Accordingly, the licensee has revised TS Section 6.5.1(D), " Quorum," to increase the quorum requirement for the PORC from five individuals to six individuals.
Specifically TS 6.5.l(D) will be revised to read:
The quorum of the PORC shall consist of a Chairman or one of three Vice-Chairmen and five members including designated alternates.
Vice-Chairmen-may act as members'when not acting as Chairman.
The NRC staff has reviewed the proposed changes to TS Sections 6.5.l(A) and 6.5.l(D).
The NRC _ staff concludes that the level and quality of the PORC's review will not be adversely affected by the proposed changes.
Furthermore, the NRC staff finds these changes acceptable as they meet the appropriate acceptance criteria of Section 13.4, " Operational Review," of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review P1an.
o in conclusion, the NRC staff finds that the licer.see's requested changes to TS Section 6.3, "Admiriistrative Controls," are acceptable.
