KMLNRC 85-092 Ret Docket No. STN 50-482 Subj: Response to Request for Additional Information on Wolf Cree'c Chemistry Program for Inspection Report STN 50-482/85-07

Dear Mr. Denise:

This letter is in response to a request for additional information on the WCGS home office chemistry program made by Mr. Blair Nicholas, NRC Region IV, in a 4/18/85 telephone conversation with Mr. Craig Swartzendruber of my staff.

Inspection Report 50-482/05-07 provided additional clarification on Open Item 50-482/8440-1. Mr. Nicholas requested further information ,

on the qualifications of the home office chemistry staff to aid him in closing out this item. Attachment 1 contains KG&E's response to this item. KG&E hopes thTt this information will aid in resolving the open item and satisfy any questions relating to the WCGS home office chemistry progra:a..

If you have any questions, please contact me or Mr. Otto Maynard of my staff.

Yours very truly, GLK bb Attach xc:PO'Connor, w/a (2) 8506140551 850610 l JCummins, w/a PDR ADOCK 05000482 BNicholas, w/a O '

. Attachment 1 to 10tLNRC 85-092 With regard to NRC Open Item (482/8440-01) the following is submitted:

1. NRC Concern - " Update the FSAR to include the current corporate chemistry organization and manager of radiological services position qualifications."

ICME Response - Nuclear Department policies and procedures include a description of the adninistrative organization structure for levels not placed in the FSAR . Se level of detail chosen for the FSAR is ,

relatively uniform. This information is readily available in doctznents ,

as noted, and IC&E feels an FSAR change is unnecessary. . . -

. .t.... ,,

2. NRC Concern - " Development of position description for all corporate chemistry staff positions which define the specific duties and responsibilities of the position and incorporate at least as a minimum the ANSI 18.1-1971 personnel qualifications."

RG&E Res;cnse - ICME has included herewith the job sumnaries for the two autaorized Corporate chemistry positions. Both positions are presently staffed. A synopsis of the existing staff and camparison of their qualifications to ANSI 18.1-71 follows:

The Home Office Nuclear Chenistry Staff consists of a Nuclear Gemist/ Engineer, Bruce Reischmann, and a Health Physics /Chanistry Technician, Lori Ioney. They provide technical support services to the Wolf Creek Gemistry Department. Se expertise and knowledge required to fill these positions has been gained through academic background, training, nuclear plant experience, and professional level experience in nuclear services. .

Mr. Reischmann's and Ms. Loney's educational backgrounds and professional work experience both meet the ANSI 18.1 (March 8, 1971) guidelines for Technical Support Personnel:

1) Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or the Physical Sciences.

2) Three years of professional level experience in nuclear-services, nuclear plant operation, or nuclear engineering.

3) Campetent in technical matters. .

Based upon Ms. Loney's job responsibilities at Wolf Creek Generating Station, she also meets the ANSI 18.1 (March 8,1971) guideline for Professional-Technical personnel:

1) Minimum of five years experience in chemistry of which a minimum of one year shall be in radiochemistry. .

2) A minimum of two years of this five years experience should be related technical training.

3) A maximum of four years of this five years experience may be fulfilled by related technical or acadenic training.

3. ISC' Concern "Developnent and approval'of selection and qualification criteria inplementing procedures for the determination of qualified personnel for corporate chemistry technical support personnel."

- IG E Response - The IqGr.E Nuclear Department utilizes the Administrative Policy Manual as its inplementing procedure. Selection and qualification criteria are an interactive use of job stamaries which state the desired qualifications, and available personnel's resumes'.

Fran these, the most qualified personnel are selected to be interviewed. '1he applicable procedures in this process are available for review by the NRC at IGE's offices. _ , , ,
