The Plant Superintendent is responsible for all operational activities of the plant including: surveillance of operational compatibility during design, construction and preparation of test procedures; staffing, training, licensing, and administration of personnel; operation and maintenance of the plant, and ccepliance with all operating s'tandards and regulations. He reports thru the
!!anager of Operations, and the Director of the Technical Division, to the flanaging Director of the Washington Public Power Supply Systen.
The station staff, as proposed by the applicant, consists of approx-inately twenty supervisory personnel supported by engineers, nechanics, technicians, and operators. Reporting to the Superintendent through an Assistant Superintendent are the liaintenance Supervisor, Operations Supervisor, Technical Supervisor, and the Administrative Supervisor.
Under the Technical Supervisor are the Radiation Protection Supervisor, Chemistry Supervisor, Electrical Engineer, fluclear Engineer, Performance Engineer and Instrument Engineer, ,
2 The normal operating shif t for WNP-1 consists of a Shift Supervisor who will nold a Senior Reactor Operator license, a Senior Control Operator and a Control Operator, each of whom will hold a Reactor Operator license, plus three equipment operators. In addition, a Health Physics Technician will be assigned to each shift. The ;
applicant has stated that the qualification requirements of the station personnel will neet the requirements of American flational Standard, AtlSI fl18.1-1971, Selection and Training of fluclear Power Plant Personnel of Itarch 8,1971.
Offsite technical support for design, construction and operation is provided by the Washington Public Power Supply System Technical Division. Reporting to the Director are fianagers for Compliance, Engineering, Project Services, and Fuels and Technical Studies.
Technical support is also obtained from various independent consulting firms and individuals, including A. D. Stanley & Associates, Shannon and Wilson, Inc., Weston Geophysical Research, Inc., Pacific florthwest Laboratories, and S. f t. Stoller Corporation.
The Senior Project Manager, who also reports to the Technical Division Otractor, is responsi.ble for the performance of project management which is organized for the design, construction and startup testing of new electrical generating facilities. Reporting to the Senior Project U
f4anager is the project fianager for fluclear Project flo. I and his staff which is divided into five functional areas headed by a Project Adininistrator, License Engineer, Supervisnry Engincar, quality Assurance f!anager, and the designated supervisor for the startup program.
t
6 We conclude that the organizational structure and the qualifications of the staff of Nuclear Project flo.1 are sufficient to provide acceptable staff and technical support for the operation of the plant.
13.2 Training Program The training program will be developed by the applicant and will be under the direction of the Plant Superintendent. The program for the plant staff, as proposed, consists of three sections, the first of which covers design familiarization, the second is directed toward the needs of the operating staff personnel, and the third is directed toward the specific needs of the technical staff. The first section is entitled flucitar Engineering Training and consists of a 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> course in such areas as Health Physics, Basic Reactor Physics, Basic Reactor Haat Transfer & Fluid Flow, Nuclear Plant Steam Supply Systen and Primary Components, Reactor Vessel and Internals, Instrumentation and Control, Reactor Operation, Reactor Auxiliary System,and Safety Analysis. Section 2 consists of a 12 to 16 weeks, 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> per week course for operating personnel to provide a basic foundation for understanding nuclear engineering and reactor theory. This phase util cover subjects in the fields of mathematics, atonic phyiics, reactor physics, heat transfer, introduction to nuclear,instru.nentation, shielding, and health physics. This is followed by RI?. observation and sinulator training of about 6 months and on-the-job training lasting 10 months. Section 3 is directed toward training of Go ta'chnical w-_______.________
i staff and is tailored to the needs of the individual participants.
General employee training is also scheduled and will include instruction concerning the site emergency plan and radiation protection. The applicant has provided a schedule which outlines the training program for the members of the plant staff.
The training program, as proposed, is comparable to that stated in hegulatory. Guide 1.8, Personnel Selection and Training, dated fiarch 10, 1971, and is acceptable.
13.3 Emergency Planning The applicant has described his preliminary plans for coping with emergancies. An Emergency Plan will be prepared which will be comprised of procedures, check lists, and necessary supporting information to estabitsh onsite and offsite actions in response to postulated emergencies of all types. An emergency organization has been descNibed, including responsibilities and delegation of authority in emergency situations. A spectrum of accidents will be developed to include radiological incidents, industrial accidents, natural disasters, and accidents at nearby nuclear reactors or facilities.
Protective measures will be defined for onsite and offsite individuals which will consider noteorological data, offsite population distribu- .
tions, bases for evacuation criteria, evacuation routes and reassembly
'mcasures, and protective equipment and its storage locations. Procedures, schedules, and documentation for periodic reviews and upd1 ting will be
a 5
included in the emergency plan. Training and dri!!s Mr :iant personnel and for offsite agencies will be scheduled. 4qreements will be reached with those offsite agencies which nay to called upon for emergency assistance. These age.icies may inchide the AEC Richland Operations Office, AEC Regulatory Operations Region V, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Bonneville Power Administration, Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Washington State Departmant of Emergency Services, ashington State Patrol, County Sheriffs, Hanford Environmental llealth Foundation. Red Cross, and Salvation Army. Arranganents will be made with physicians, hospitals, and ambulance and rescue services for contaminated, inj'Jred and exposed individuals.
We conclude that the emergancy planning program as presented by the applicant maets the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix L, anJ is acceptable at this stage of the licensing review.
