Page 2 of 2 13.4.2.2 Independent Safety Engineering Group. Houston Lighting & Power Company (HL&P) formed an Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) prior to fuel load in STPEGS Unit 1. This group has a minimum of five, dedicated, full-time engineers. Each has a bachelor's degree in engineering or related science and at least 2 years professional level experience in his field, at least 1 year of which experience shall be in the nuclear field. The ISEG function is incorporated within the Quality Department and This grcup reports directly to the Director, Quality.

The principal function of the ISEG personnel is to examine plant operating characteristics, NRC issuances, Licensee Event Reports and other sources of experience information that may indicate areas for improving plant safety. The ISEG independen:!y review; repc-:: cf p!=: =:1..:i= and perform; independen: rev! w; cf :.uch =:i'..:im. "/h::: umful improv:==:: can be made, Se grcup pr:xnts detailed reccmmend :ic= :c NSRE.

personnel shall make detailed recommendations for revised procedures, equipment modifications, maintenance activities, operations activities, or other means of improving unit safety to the Chairman, Nuclear Safety Review Board. The ISEG shall be responsible for maintaining surveillance of unit activities to provide independent verification (no sign-off function) that these activities are performed correctly and that human errors are reduced as much as practical. Records of activities performed by the ISEG personnel shall be prepared, maintained, and forwarded each calendar month to the Chairman, Nuclear Safety Review Board.
