SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO _AMENDFENT NO. 32 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-30 UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO.'5TN 50-483
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated December 15, 1987, Union Electric Company (the licensee) subnitted a request for changes to Section 6 of the plant Technical Spec-ifications.
2.0 EVALUATION 2.1 Figure 6.2-1, Offsite Organization, would be revised to:
(1) Consolidate the Lictnsing and Fuels Departrent under the newly created position, Manager, Licensing and Fuels. This consoli-dated department reports directly to the General Manager, Engineering, t
(2) The Manager Nuclear Engineering, position is now located at the Callaway Site.
(3) The Assistant Manager, Nuclear Engineering, position is eliminated and the Superintendent Design Control, and the Superintendent, Systems Engineering, report directly to the Manager, Nuclear Engineering.
(4) A new position, Superintendent, Project Engineering, is established which will report directly to the Manager, Nuclear Engineering.
(5) Quality Control (QC) inspectors, responsible for Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and In-Service Inspection (ISI), will report through the Supervisor, Performance and ISI, to the Superintendent, Systens Engineering.
(6) The Superintendent. Administration Services, will no longer report to the Assistant to the Vice President, but will report to the Manager, Operations Support.
This change is also shewn on revised Figure 6.2-2.
The licensee states that these changes are designed to improve intercepart-mental responsiveness ard efficiency by providing better coordination of the engineering staff and enhancing the engineering support of Callaway Plant.
These changes do not reduce the overall experience base nor reduce comitments to minimum qualifications.
8802100151 000129 DR ADOCK 050 3
The staff finds that these changes will not reduce the level of engineering support or the experience base; however, they should provide for improved coordination of engineering support of plant operations. The revised offsite organization is in accordance with the guidance in Section 13.1.1 of the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, and is acceptable.
2.2 Figure 6.2-2, Unit Organization, is revised to:
(1)
Establish the position of Assistant Manager, Work Control, which repcrts to the Manager, Callaway Plant.
Reporting to the Assistant Manager, Work Control, is the Superintendent, Planning and Scheduling, the Supervisor, Quality Control (QC), and the Supervisor, Outages.
Consolidation of Planning and Scheduling with the Outages Department provides for enhanced coordination of plant testing and modification activities. The QC Department is being reassigned from the Compliance Department which is addressed below.
(2) Consolidate the Chemistry and Radwaste organization under the Superintendent, Chemistry and Radwaste, which will continue to report to the Assistant Manager, Technical Services.
(3) Establish the position of Supervisor Safety, which reports to the Assistant Manager, Technical Services.
This group addresses occupational safety and health issues, which were previously a responsibility of the Compliance Department.
(4) The Assistant Manager, Support Services, position is eliminated and the Superintendent Training, and the Superintendent, Security, report directly to the Manager, Operations Support.
(5) As previously discussed regarding Figure 6.2-1, the Superinter. dent, Administration Services, reports to the Manager, Operations Support, rather than the Assistant to the Vice President.
(6) The Compliance Department is eliminated, and its responsibilities are reassigned as follows:
(a) The Compliar.ce Group reports to the Manager, Licensing and Fuele, as a Site Licensing Group.
(b) The Quality Control group, responsible for plant modification /
maintenance work, reports to the Assistant Manager, Work Control.
(c) The Quality Control personnel, responsible for NDE/ISI, report to Nuclear Engineering as discussed regarding Figure 6.2-1.
I
3-(d) Surveillance Tracking is performed within Nuclear Operations.
(e)
Fire Protection reports to Nuclear Engineering.
(f) Personnel Safety reports to the Assistant Manager, Technical Services, as previcusly discussed.
The licensee states that these changes are designed to improve interdepartmental responsiveness and efficiency by providing better coordination and ccmunication.
These changes do not reduce the overall experience base nor reduce comitments to minimum qualifications.
The staff finos that these changes will not reduce the level of operations, technical and maintenance support for the operation of Callaway plant.
These changes should, however, improve interdepartmental responsiveness and efficiency. The revised unit organization is in accordance with the guidance in Sections 13.1.2-13.1.3 of the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, and is acceptable.
2.3 Technical Specification 6.5.1 is revised to include the Manager, Nuclear Engineering, and the newly created position, Assistant Manager, Work Control, as nebers of the On-Site Review Comittee. The licensee states that the addition of the Manager, Nuclear Engineering, provides a higher level of management attention and engineering perspective to the On-Site Peview Comittee.
The Assistant Manager, Work Control, is responsible for planning and scheduling of outages, surveillance testing, and plant modifications and therefore provides a valuable role in reviews conducted by the On-Site Review Comittee.
The staff finds that these changes are consistent with the revisions to the organization and should provide the On-Site Review Comittee with enhanced technical expertise and nanagement oversight. The revised comittee rembership is consistent with the guidance in Section 13.4 of the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, and is acceptable.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 or changes an inspection or surveillence requirement. The staff has determined that the aver.dment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupa-tional radiation exposure. The Cecriission has previously published a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant harerds consideration and 113re has been to public coment en such finding. Accordingly, this amer.daent nects the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR (51.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment,
