SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N05.110 AND 93 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. DPR-53 AND DPR-69 BALTIMORE GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-317 AND 50-318 Introduction By application for license amendment dated November 1,1985, Baltimore Gas &
Electric Company (BG8E) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 as follows:
(1) TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, "Organization", would be changed via TS Figures 6.2-1 and 6.2-2 to reflect an extensive corporate reorganization; (2) the titles of a number of individuals",
as reflected in TS Section 6.0, " Administrative Controls", would be changed as a result of the reorganization; and (3) TS 6.5.1, " Plant Operations and Safety Review Committee (POSRC)", would be changed to reflect the elimination of one member from the POSRC.
Discussion and Evaluation The reorganization proposed by BG8E represents a significant change in the off-site and on-site organizational structure as reflected in TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, respectively. The Vice President-Supply and Vice President-Engineering and Construction positions would be eliminated. A new position of Vice President-Nuclear Energy would be created which would encompass the present responsibilities of the above two eliminated positions with respect to BG8E's nuclear program. Reporting to the Vice President-Nuclear Energy would be four managers: Manager-Nuclear Operations (The Manager-Nuclear Operations would assume the current responsibilities of the Plant Superintendent with respect to nuclear safety); Manager-Nuclear Engineering Services (The Manager-Nuclear Engineering Services would be established to consolidate all of the engineering
[
support staff into a single department); Manager-Quality Assurance and Staff Services (The Manager-Quality Assurance and Staff Services would assume the responsibilities of the present Manager-Quality Assurance with exception of the Quality Control function); and Manager-Nuclear Maintenance (The
)
Manager-Nuclear Maintenance would be responsible for the electrical, instrument, and control, and mechanical maintenance / modification crafts and technicians and their associated quality control inspectors.)
The proposed reorganization would be expected to improve management at Calvert Cliffs by allowing key functions to report to a single BG&E Vice President while maintaining independent oversight. Since an equivalent or 8601140303 851230 PDR ADOCK 05000317 P
r
. improved level of management would be maintained at Calvert Cliffs, no degradation in the maintenance or testing of safety-related equipment or structures would occur; thus, the proposed changes to TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 are acceptable.
1 Consistent with the proposed changes to TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, the licensee has proposed a number of changes to TS Section 6.0 to reflect changes in job titles.
In all cases, the job function remains the same and only'the title would change. These proposed changes to Section 6.0 are administrative in nature in light of the proposed changes concerning TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 and are thus, acceptable.
Finally, the licensee has proposed to eliminate one member from the POSRC as specified in TS 6.5.1.
This committee provides a substantial degree of oversight concerning safety-related activities related to plant operation; TS 6.5.1.6 enumerates these responsibilities. At the present time, TS 6.5.1.2 requires that the POSRC be composed of eight members and a chairman. The licensee has proposed that the POSRC be composed of seven members and a chairman.
The proposed elimination of a POSRC member does not eliminate any technical discipline necessary to carry out the function of the POSRC or in any other way hamper the function of the POSRC. Since the POSRC will continue to maintain adequate oversight concerning activities that affect safety-related equipment
- or structures, the change in TS 6.5.1.2 which reduces the POSRC membership from eight to seven members is acceptable.
Environmental Consideration These amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting or adminstrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exqlusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
Conclusion We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
