Attachment I to H. R. Denton letter October 15, 1986 Page 1 of 2 SAFETY HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) has determined that some organization changes are required in the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Technical Specifications to enhance managerial accountability of the various groups in the Nuclear Operations Department..In addition, several editorial changes to Figures 6.2-1 and 6.2-2 are being made to reflect correct titles and functional alignments.
J Organizational changes concerning upper management have been made in recent months; however, these changes did not alter the organizational structure under the Vice President, Nuclear Operations. This restructuring changed the title of Senior Vice President, Power Operations, to Senior Vice President, Nuclear Power, Construction and Production Engineering. This change does not constitute a change in reporting relationships, or overall organizational commitments.
j In the Nuclear Services Division three group manager positions have been i
combined into two, resulting in greater efficiencies and tighter spans of j
control. Regulatory and Support Services, and Nuclear Education and Training i-are combined under one Group Manager, that of Nuclear Regulatory and Developmental Services. This position has the Manager, Nuclear Licensing; Manager, Corporate Health Physics and Environmental Programs; Manager, Nuclear Operations Education and Training; and Manager, Nuclear Technical Education and Training reporting to him. This change does not constitute a change in reporting relationships, or overall organizational commitments.
The Quality Services Organization now includes the Procurement Group of the Nuclear Operations Department. The title of-Quality Services is changed to Quality and Procurement Services, now headed by a Director who has the Manager, Materials and Procurement; Manager, Quality Assurance; and Manager, Quality Control reporting to him. These changes represent organizational enhancements by altering reporting relationships. This does not constitute a change in job responsibilities or overall organizational commitments.
The Security Organization has been reporting administratively offsite to the Group Manager, Regulatory and Support Services and functionally onsite to the Group Manager, Technical and Support Services. This organization now reports administrative 1y and functionally to Technical and Support Services. The Regulatory Compliance Group now reports offsite to the Manager, Nuclear Licensing in the Nuclear Regulatory and Developmental Services Organization.
Functionally, this group will remain at the Station and fully support the Director of Nuclear Plant Operations. These changes do not constitute a change in job responsibilities, or overall organizational commitments.
Attachment I to H. R. Denton letter October 15, 1986 Page 2 of 2 The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of the.
standards in 10CFR50.92 by providing examples of Amendments that are not likely to involve Significant Hazards Considerations (48 FR 14870). Among those examples are, "A purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency.throughout the Technical Specifications, corrections of an error, or a change in nomenclature," and "A change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications...."
The above requested changes to the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Unit No.
1 Technical Specification Figures 6.2-1 and 6.2-2 do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident ~or other adverse condition over previous evaluations since overall commitments and functional capabilities are not reduced; or create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident or condition over previous evaluations because no organizational responsibilities are being eliminated; or involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety since organizational control and accountability are enhanced by these controls. Based on this information and
. utilizing the guidance provided by the Commission, the requested license amendment does not present a significant hazard.
