Draf't Input to Safety Evaluation Report Nuclear Project Nos.1 & 4 Docket Nos. 50-460/513 13.0 Conduct of Operations 13.1 Organization and Qualifications The Washington Public Power Supply System has the responsibility for plant design, construction, quality assurance, testing and operation of fluclear Project !!ctl&4. '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 compliance with all operating standards and regulations. He reports thru the

!!anager of Operations, and the Director of the Technical Division, to th.e tianaging Director of the Washington Public Power Supply Systen.

2.

The s.tation staff, for both plants, as proposed by the applicant, consists of approximately twenty-four supervisory personnel supported by engineers, mechanics, technicians, and operators. Reporting to the Superintendent through an Assistant Superintendent are the Maintenance Supervisor, Senior Operations Supervisor, Technical Supervisor, and the Health Physics -

Chemistry Supervisor. Under the Technical Supervisor are the Electrical

. Engineer, Nuclear Engineer, Performance Engineer, and Instrument and Controls Engineer.

Reporting to tne Health Physics - Chemistry Supervisor are the Health Physics Supervisor and the Chemistry Supervisor. Reporting to the Senior Operations Supervisor will be the Operations Supervisor of l

WNP-1 and the Operations Supervisor of WNP-4.

1

m The normal operating shift for eitherplant consists of a mift Supervisor who will hold a Senior Reactor Operator license, a Senior Control Operator and a Control Operator, each of whom will hold a Reactor Operator licease, plus three equipment operators.

In addition, a Health Physics Technician will he assigned to each shift.

The applicant has stated that' the qualification requirements of the station personnel will meet the requirements of' American flational Standard, AilSI !!18.1-1971 Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel, of Ilarch 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 Managers.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.11. Stoller Corporation.

The Senior Project Manager, who also reports to the Technical Division Director, is responsible 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 Manager is the Project flanager for Nuclear Project tics.1 & 4 and his staff which is divided into five functional areas headed by a Project Administrator, License Engineer, Supervisory Engineer, Quality Assurance Manager, And the designated supervisor for the startup program.

We conclude that the organizational structure and the qualifications of the staff of iluclear Project Nos.1 and 4 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 fir,st section is entitled fluclear 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 Heat Transfer S Fluid Flow, Nuclear Plant Steam Supply System 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 will

~

cover subjects in the fields of mathematics, atomic physics, reactor physics, heat transfer, introduction to nuclear instrumentation, shielding, and health physics. This is followed by PWR observation and simulator training of about 6 months and on-the-job training lasting 10 months.

Section 3 is directed tokard training of the technical e

e

4 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 foF the members of the plant staff.

The training program, as proposed, is comparable to that stated in Pegulatory Guide 1.8, Personnel Selection and Training, dated

,llarch 10, 1971, and is acceptable.

13.3 Dnergency planning The applicant has described his preliminary plans for coping with

~

emergencies. A site Emergency Plan will be prepared which will be comprised of procedures, check lists, and necessary supporting information to establish onsite and offsite actions in response to postulated emergencies of all types. An emergency organization has been described, 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 meteorological data, offsite population distribu-tions, bases for evacuation criteria, evacuation routes and reassembly measures, and protective equipment and its storage locaticns.

Procedures,

schedules, and documentation for periodic reviews and updating will be

n_

o c included in the emergency plan. Training and drills for plant personnel and for offsite agencies will be scheduled. Agreements will be reached with those offsite agencies which may be called upon for emergency assistance.

These agencies may include the AEC Richland Operations,0ffice, AEC Regulatory Operations Region V, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, Bonneville Power Administration, Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, Washington State Department of Emergency Services, Washington State patrol, County Sheriffs. Hanford Environmental llealth Foundation, Red Crose, and Salvation Army. Arranger.ents will be made with physicians, hospitals, and ambula,9ce and rescue services for contaminated, injured and exposed individuals.

We conclude that the emergency planning program as presented by the applicant meets the requirements of 10CF350, Appendix E, and is acceptable at this~ stage of the licensing review.
