Dear My. Denton:
By letter (Serial No. 1208) of November 16, 1935 Toledd Edison submitted Revision 4 of the Davis-Besse Course of Action (C0A) to you. That s
submittal included Toledo Edison's response to the NRCs Request for Additional Information (31 questions) dated October 30,1985~ (Log No.
1844).
Mr. A. W. DeAgaz $ of your staff has requested further information with regards to Toledo Edison's response to Question No. 21.
Specifically, Toledo Edison has been requested to clarify the i availability of Operations Engineering Department reactor cugineering support to the Plant Manager.
The major areas of responsibility of the Operations Engineering
' Department are dt.14neated in the Nuclear Mission Policy and Organization
. document. Theesre'spons'iq111tiesinclude:

"" Provide-timely techcfcal response to overall plant and reactor operations,and perfort:ance concerns by' Station operations,..."
m The Operations Engineering Manager Position Description in this same docur-ent ste,,tes'.that his duties include:
'n "Directe department activities to provide timely technical response to overall plant and reactor operations and'per-formance concerns by the Station staff,
..d' Copies of these sections of-the Nuclear Mission Policy and Organization are enclosed.
o In additfon Toledo Edison Generic Guidance Memorandum POL--30' initiated
's the Duty Manager concept to support the Station. This is not a replacement
%for dhe Emergency Plan, but is intended to provide a continuous 24-hour

These duties include providing assistance and guidance to the Shift Supervisor, being available by the Emergency Pager System, being available to proceed directly to the Davis-Besse Station if requested by the Shift Supervisor or Duty Plant Manager, and providing direction and decision making support to the Shif t Fupervisor to resolve technical or operational problems as required for safe and efficient operations. Duty Managers are expected to work weekends and off-hours as required.
In summary, the Plant Manager has the authority for immediate access to the Operation Engineering Department, including reactor engineering support.
