1 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF HOUST0fl LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY FOR THE SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT Overall Objective: Review the proposed organization for operation of STP from the level of the senior corporate officer who will be in overall charge of nuclear operations down to the proposed operating staff at the plant.

To accomplish this objective, the review team will wish to spend approximately one day with the corporate staff and one and one-half days with the plant staff, 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.

A prime objective is to gain assurance that the corporate management is involved with, informed about, and dedicated to the safe operation of the nuclear plant

, and that sufficient technical resnurces have been or will be

, provided to adequately support safe plant operation.

Throughout the visit, the review team will be comparing informatinn obtained j regarding organization and staffing matters to the informatinn contained in Chapter 13 of the Safety Evaluation Report. In this connection, it would be helpful if the applicant could cover during the initial briefing an.v dis-crepancies noted in the SER.
