MANAGEMENT REVIEW 0F GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
-l FOR THE V0GTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT Overall Objective: Review the proposed organization for operation of Vogtle from the level of the senior corporate officer who will be in overall charge of nuclear operations down through the proposed operating staff at the plant.
To accomplish this objective, the review team will wish to spend approximately one and one-half days at the corporate offices and one and one-half days at the plant, depending upon the availability and location of personnel who will be involved in key positions in the operating organization.
Our past practice has been to start the review with a thorough briefing by the utility on the proposed (or actual) organization, followed by in-depth discussions with selected individuals in the corporate office and at the plant, sufficient to gain a feeling for the qualifications and attitude of the indivi-duals and an understanding of how they actually fit into the operation.
Our prime interest is to gain assurance that the corporate management is involved with, infonned about, and dedicated to the safe operation of the nuclear plant and that sufficient technical resources have been or will be provided to adequately support safe plant operation.
Throughout the visit, the review team will be comparing information obtained regarding organization and staffing matters to the information contained in Chapter 13 of the Vogtle SER. Therefore, it would be helpful if the applicant l
could cover any discrepancies noted in the SER during the initial briefing.
Specific Matters to be Covered:

For the plant staff, the staff needs to understand the operating organization and how it interacts to assure safe plant operation.
