Subject:

Docket 70-734: SNM-696; Report of Changes to Organization.

(7 copies)

Dear Mr. Crow:

Recent retirements of certain GA Technologies Inc. (GA) personnel have lead to some changes to our organizational structure.

These changes have been discussed at length with NRC staff, Region V and Headquarters.

In particular they address the retirements of F. Bold (Health Physics &

Safety Services), R. Wolf (Corporate Secretary), and M. Merrill (Nuclear Sa fety).

With the retirement of F. Bold, Emergency Services now reports to the Manager of Security, and Health Physics reports to the Manager of Lic-ensing and Nuclear Compliance. 'Ihe Health Physics function will continue to be managed by L. Quintana.

Those compliance functions that had. reported to the corporation's secre-tary now report to the Director of Human Resources through Licensing and Nuclear Compliance. Licensing and Nuclear Compliance includes those func-tions that had previously comprised " Licensing and Nuclear Material Con-trol" plus Nuclear Safety and Health Physics.

These changes obviate the " dotted line" reporting relationship that had existed between Security (and Health Physics) and the corporation's sec-retary. All functions responsible for compliance are now consolidated under one pyson, namely, the Director of Human Resources who, as before, reports directly to the corporation's president.

Succeeding M. Herrill as Manager of Nuclear Safety is Vladislav Malakhof.

Mr. Malakhor's qualifications for this position have been the subject of telephone discussions with Mr. N. Ketzlach (NRC Headquarters) and Mr.

Malakhof was interviewed in person by Messrs. Ketzlach and Brock (NRC Reg. V) during the period March 31 through April 2, 1986, when Messrs.

Ketzlach and Brock visited GA's

'a_ cili ties. A copy of Mr. Malakhor's resume is attached.

In making the revisions, the pagination changed. 'Iherefore, for your convenience, we have en-c?osed Section 3 in its entirety with changes identified by a ruled margin.

Under separate cover, we are also submitting to NRC revised pages to various of our plans which support our license.

Mr. Vladislav Malakhof, Manager, Nuclear Safety BS Mechanical Engineering, University of Missouri,1962 MS Nuclear Engineering, University of California, 1964 Registered Professional Engineer (Nuclear), California Mr. Malakhof joined GA Technologies Inc. (GA) in 1963 and has worked for 23 years in the field of reactor physics and criticality safety evaluations.

His primary area of experience is in the core physics analysis of HTGRs.

The activities in this area were: (a) spectrum calculations and preparation of microscopic cross-sections, (b) fuel zoning and depletion calculations.

(c) design of control rod, reserve shutdown system and lumped burnable poison, (d) reactor kinetics and accident analysis, (e) design of external neutron sources, (f) the fuel accountability for the FSV core, (g) the correlation of measured and calculated results, (h) the design of reload segments for the FSV core, and (1) the writing of safety analysis reports (SAR).

He also was in-volved in the correlation of measured and calculated results for the Peach Bottom and Ft. St. Vrain HTGR's. For the latter reactor he participated in the inside loading and zero-power te : ting. Since 1976 he has been a member of the Material Review Board which brought him into close contact with fuel manu-facturing problems and their solutions, and familiarized him with procedures and processes involved in fuel production. As the project manager of Fuel Test Element Post Irradiation Examination he became familiar with the criti-cality and radiological safety in the Hot Cell.

His secondary area of experience is in criticality safety analysis. The activities in this area were: (a) the safety analysis of HTGR fuel particles, rods or elements during manufacturing, (b) the safety analysis of fresh and spent fuel shipping casks, and (c) the safety analysis of fuel transfer machine and storage wells.

He is the co-author (with Dr. Baxter) of the Nuclear Criticality Safety Guide for specific application to HTGR fuel. He also has been since 1977.a member of GA's Criticality and Radiation Safety Committee, where.his duties were to

k carry out the secondary independent review of cEiticality safety at GA.

As a i

coaunittee member he conducted review and audits not only of fuel fabrication areas but also other SNM containing areas.

Procedural re-quirements and' instructions for obtaining Work Authorizations (WA) are to be maintained in current form in the Radiological Safety Guide. The basic. pro-cedure fcr obtaining approval of a Work Authorization is described in section 3.4.1 and is shown schematically in Figure II 3.4.1.

Changes to this proced-ure require review and approval by the Manager of Licensing & Nuclear Com-pliance, the Director of Human Resources, and the Chairman of CRSC, or their designees.

All such changes must be within limitations of this license.

The criteria for WA approval are contained in Section 3.4.2.

3.4.1 Procedure for Approval of Work Authorizations 1.

The operating group desiring to do the work shall prepare a Work Au-thorization (WA) request identifying the proposed work and quantity and form of SNM to be used as well as drafts of the necessary safety related procedures, equipment features, and process characteristics.

The WA shall be approved in writing by the applicable manager who must assert that all license and company criteria and procedures for radiological safety, criticality, material accountability and con-trol, and physical protection requirements will be met.

Also, he must assert that other applicable safety related features of the work, such as structural integrity, potential of fire or explosion and the like, are adequately considered and suitable provisions have been incorporated.

The approved WA and backup information shall then be forwarded to Health Physics.

In addition, the request shall be sent to (1) Security for approval if physical pro-tection requirements for the area are to be modified, and (2) CRSC for approval if the WA is for new or changed work involving new or revised nuclear safety analysis and involves a quantity of SNM greater than 350 gm of U-235, 200 gm of U-233, 200 gm of encapsu-lated plutonium, or any quantity of unencapsulated plutonium of any isotope.

If a license modification is required, Licensing & Nuclear Compliance shall make the determination and take appropriate action I

with governmental regulatory authorities. Any reviewer shall seek outside expertise as deemed necessary.

3 After the WA has been approved in writing, authorization shall be deemed granted.

Authorization shall include any special conditions required by the license and such other conditions as the reviewers deem necessary.

4 The originating department shall revise, where appropriate, the operating procedures and practices before implementing requested work. The current version of Work Authorization and the approved procedures will be available in or near the applicable work area.
