1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document provides a detailed description of the nuclear organization of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and its management philosophy, programs and practices that provide the management capability and technical qualifications to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Hope Creek Generating Station.

Recognizing the critical importance of centralized management direction and control of the operations, maintenance and support functions of its nuclear f acilities, PSE&G established the Nuclear Department at the site ot its nuclear plants. A nuclear organization has been developed that assures management effectiveness and is compatible with the latest regulatory and industry guidance.

At the station level, management effectiveness is being attained through the establishment of clear lines of station management responsibility, accountability and authority and through the development, documentation and implementation of station programs and processes.

To assure that the Hope Creek Station Operations staff have appropriate experience and qualifications, a plan for staffing and qualifying operations and maintenance personnel has been developed which is consistent with NRC regulations, industry operating experience and good practices. PSE&G has committed to, and invested in, a comprehensive training program which is described in this report. The Program will not only train operating personnel to meet the technical qualifications which are required by the NRC and consistent with industry operating experience and good practices, but also will provide training for managers and supervisors to continually increase their effectiveness.

This report discusses PSE&G's design for management capability in the Nuclear Department in general and in the Hope Creek Operations Department in particular. It delineates staffing plans, training programs and specific existing experience that PSE&G will use to insure it has appropriate technical and managerial resources to safely and efficiently operate the Hope Creek Generating Station.

PSEEG has developed ad organizational structure which enhances management effectiveness and ensures the safe and E

efficient operations of,the Hope Creek Generating Station.

In Section 2.1 the company s management philosophy is

^

_~

- e discussed with emphanis on how PSE&G's. commitment to strong

~

centralized manngemen't of4 its nuclear facilities has been demonstratco by Nuclear Department actions and policy

. directives. The objectives of the recent reorganization of

.the Nuclear Dapartment's senior management structure are also explained.

Section 2.2 describes how the revised senior management structure will increase the Nuclear Department's capacity to ,

provide day-to-day senior management direction, coordination and control of all nuilear operations and support activities, while~ Section 2.3 exarciner the compatability of the revised organizational structure'with NRC and INPO guidelines for utility management structure.

In Section 2.4,'the recoonsibilities and authorities of key management roles are lescribed as these relate to providing technical support for operations. The qualifications criteria _for assignment of personnel to these key management roles ark outlined in Section 2.5.

2.1 NANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY AND STRUCTURE FSE&G has long recognized the critical importance of ensuring centralised-man'agement direction and control of the operations,'mainte6ance and support of its nuclear faciliti~es.', In July,J 381, the Company established its Nuclear Mepartment and became one of the first companies in the nuclear industry to locate its Vice President - Nuclear and the entire Nuclear Department at the site of its nuclear plants.

By taking this innovative step, the company accomplished two important objectives. First, it consolidated all of the organizations'which provide technical and administrative

. support to the nuclear facilities at the same site on which all of the company's. nuclear stations are physically located. 'This consolidated position enhances the Nuclear

- Department's abililty to coordinate on a routine basis concern'ing " lessons learned" and to address operating problems from a shared experience data base for all three units.- LWith ~operacions and operations support work groups pnyrically accessible to each other, there is greater mderthanding of both day-to-day operational needs and cechnical/ administrative support concerns. . Timely informal communications 6etwesn these various organizations result in more'offective cocidination and responsiveness to ensure m m: iam., plant safety and reliability.

f l Secondly, the Vice President - Nuclear, the Company's senior nuclear manager, is also physically accessible to operations and operations support managers and is closely attuned to day-to-day plant. operations.and support activities. He is able to make informed, on-the-spot decisions as the need arises; to provide senior management direction and control of Department-wide programs; and to ensure that ef fective lines of authority and communication are established and maintained between work groups responsible for the operations, servicing and technical / administrative support of the nuclear facilities.

In addition to demonstrating its commitment to effective centralized management by locating the Nuclear Department on site, PSE&G has also demonstrated its conaitment to safe and reliable nuclear operations management by establishing strong policy directives in those areas which affect nuclear safety and power production, and by requiring that all Company managers and personnel comply with these policies. Examples of such directives include the following:

NUCLEAR SAFETY Nuclear safety is of the highest priority and shall take precedence over matters concerning power production. The empicyee's and the public's health and safety shall be the prime. consideration in the conduct and support of Public Service Electric and Gas Company's nuclear activities and shall not be compromised.

All decisions which could affect health and safety shall be made conservatively. If significant questions or disagreements concerning nuclear safety matters arise, the Vice President - Nuclear shall make or concur in the final decision.

POWER PRODUCTION The production of economical electricity to benefit the stockholders and customers of Public Service Electric and Gas Company is a principal purpose of the Company. Power-production at Company nuclear generating facilities makes an important condkibution to this goal. It shall be made clear n to all personnel, however, that safety concerns come before power production at all times.

MANPOliER STAFFING AND TRAINING A staff of sufficient size and qualification to support the safe and reliable operation of the nuclear plants shall be established and maintained. Position qualifications shall be established that are equal to'or exceed those established by NRC or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Training shall be adequate to assure that all persons with operating responsibility are fully qualified. All training programs shall meet or exceed inductry standards.

SECURITY' Public Service Electric and Gas Company is fully committed to maintaining a program which is capable of countering threats which could lead to sabotage or loss of special nu'elear materials.

All employeesishall comply with the requirements of the security program and directions of guardforce personnel.

RADIATION PROTECTION

, Nuclear' plant design changes and operating and

~ maintenance practice ~s, shall be evaluated to ass'ure that radiation exposure is As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable (ALARA). PSE&G is committed to the ALARA concept throughout all operating, maintenance end design activities.

REGULATORY AND LICENSING Public Service Electric and Gas Company shall comply explicity with all regulatory requirements and commitments that are part of the plant operating licenses, Final Safety Analysis Reports and Technical Specifications.

QUALITY ASSURANCE A Quality Assurar.ce Program is an essential part of the PSE&G commitment to safe and reliable nuclear power ope raticn . Applicable program requirements shall bc strictly adhered to in the performance of activities covered by the Quality Assurance Program.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The nuclear stations shall'be operated in compliance with.the Nuclear-Pegulatory' Commission (NRC) requirements,. and in accordance with commitments to other federal, state and local government agency requirements. -

It shall be the policy'of PSE&G to minimize station

' dherating' effects on'the environment'. .

. RADIOACTIVE WASTE A vigorot,is policy tg minimize.the amount of radioactive waste generated at each nuclear plhnt shall be enforced. All efforts shall'be made to minimize the amounttef radioactive wast.e stored on site, consistent-with' currens industry practice and'11 cense requirements ,

PUBLIC INFORMATION l Information released to the public through various forms of the news media shall be done in a timely manner and in accordance with the pol cies and procedures developed within the Information Ser. i. )s Department.

REPORTS Reports that are necessary to keep senior management informed on items pertinent to the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of Public Service Electric and Gas Company nuclear units shall be submitted on a timely basis.

As the Nuclear Department has developed over the past three years, it has become evident.to the Company that the role of the Vice President - Nuclear is a far more complex and demanding one than was first envisioned. In addition to serving as a Corporate Officer, the Vice President - Nuclear has also been required to dedicate increasing time to performing external relations functions, including various types of interface with regulatory agencies and oversight groups, meetings with local government and community representatives, and participation in professional industry activities. All of these functions are important to the effectiveness of nuclear operations.

At the same time, however, the Nuclear Department is an expanding organization and demands full-time senior management direction and control. Recognizing this problem, and the number of functions reporting directly to the Vice President - Nuclear, PSE&G committed itself in September, 1983 to performing an in-depth analysis of the role (s) of the Vice President - Nuclear and his direct reports. The purpose of the analysis 'cas to establish the most effective organizational structure possible to accomplish the following objectives:

1. Ensure full-time senior management oversight of all Nuclear Department activities while still allowing the Vice President - Nuclear to devote sufficient time and attention to other critical role demands;

2. Provide increased' senior management coordination and control-over. functionally interdependent organizations;

3. Establish reporting structures which encourage improved communication and support among functionally interdependent work groups; 2-4 -

4. Accommodate any future consolidations or expansions of functions and, at the same time, maintain a stable organizational structure;

5. Assist key Nuclear Department managern in developing a Department-wide perspective, as opposed to a functional perspective only, and thus be more fully prepared for senior management positions.

The revised organizational structure which resulted from this analysis,is depicted in Figure 2-1. For comparison purposer;-the-former Nuclear Department organization chart is also included in Figure 2-2. It is the intent of PSE&G to implement this revised Nuclear Department organization structure during the Fall and Winter of  ;

2.2 NUCLEAR DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION By comparing the original and revised Nuclear Department organization charts it can be observed that the new Nuclear Department structure provides enhanced senior management direction and control by introducing a new level of day-to-day management authority at the Assistant Vice President level. Under the former organization, there were eight line managers reporting directly to the Vice President - Nuclear. Each of these direct reports was able to provide input for Nuclear Department

• planning, decision making and problem solving purposes, however, since many programs cut across functional boundaries it was difficult to focus complete attention to interface concerns. In the revised management structure, the Vice President - Nuclear has the assistance of two experienced senior managers to establish Nuclear Department plans, make decisions about program activities and address interface problems from a Nuclear Department-wide perspective .

In terms of the number and focus of the functions reporting to him, each Assistant Vice Preside:tt has a more desirable span of control. All operations and maintenance functions are assigned to the Assistant Vice President - Nuclear Operations; all technical and administrative support functions are assigned to the Assistant Vice President - Operations Support. Each Assistant Vice President is responsible for ensuring effective functional management on the part of the line managers reporting to him, for ensuring timely coordination and responsiveness between operations and operations support work groups, and for resolving all interface concerns in support of effective Nuclear Department-wide programs. ,

The key functions of Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review report directly to the Vice President - Nuclear.

This structure allows independent authority in the execution of Nuclear Department-wide quality assurance and safety review activities and ensures ongoing senior management awareness and support of safety-related programs.

The innovative concept of a " senior management team" has been established. The Vice President, two Assistant Vice Presidents, and the General Managers of Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review meet briefly at the beginning of each work day to review the operating status of the plants and to discuss any immediate interface or coordination concerns. A plan for addressing such concerns is developed and responsible senior managers then coordinate with their line managers to ensure timely and appropriate action. On a weekly basis, the senior management team meets to address more long-range program development and problem-solving concerns which require a ,

Department-wide perspective.  !

o l I

With the revised organizational structure and the introduction of the " senior management team" concept, PSE&G has ensured that the Company's philosophical commitment to strong centralized management of its nuclear facilities continues to be an operational reality.

2.3 CONPATABILITY WITH NRC/INPO ORGANIZATION GUIDANCE The NRC NUREG-0731 " Guidelines for Utility Management Structure and Technical Resources" provides guidelines for staffing levels, technical expertise and personnel qualifications along with acceptable structures for both the utility corporate organization and the plant structure. All personnel, systems and organizations within the Nuclear Department conform to these

, guidelines.

To implement the basic guidelines set forth in NUREG-0731, the Inscitute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) has developed performance objectives and criteria for its use in evaluations and assistance visits related to corporate support of nuclear stations. The Nuclear Department and its generating stations are within the parameters of these guidelines.

Tables 2-1 and 2-2 outline point by point comparisons of the PSE&G Nuclear Department organization with the major NRC and INPO guidelines in the area of organization.

4.0 STAFFING AND QUALIFICATIONS OF HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION (HCGS) OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL HCGS management has developed and is implementing a plan to staff the HCGS operating organization with qualified operations and maintenance personnel. This plan is consistent with NRC regulations, industry experience and good practices. .The plan consists of augmenting the present organization by hiring personnel with BWR nuclear experience; and providing for personnel qualification through extensive formal training, and participation at similar operating plants. The recruitment of personnel provides a complementary level of experience and training throughout the organization.

PSE&G management is implementing the staffing plan in a time frame to allow station personnel to participate in preoperational startup activities.

This section reviews the specifics of the HCGS staffing plan and provides an overview of station personnel qualificatons and experience.

4.1 STANDARDS FOR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS The staffing plan addresses personnel qualification requirements and establishes appropriate levels based on these qualifications. The following documents were used during the formulation of the staf fing plan to identify qualification requirements:

1) NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements

2) NUREG-0731, Guidelines of Utility Management Structure and Technical Resources

3) ANSI /ANS 3.1-1981, Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants  ;

4) Regulatory Guide 1.8, Personnel Selection and Training 4.2 STAFFING AND ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS The plan for staffing the station is reflected in Figures 3-1 thru 3-5 which provide the following information:

number of personnel authorized to each functional area 4-1

l i

- number of personnel presently assigned or having firm employment start dates

- number of personnel meeting ANSI /ANS 3.1 - 1981 presently and the number who will meet these requirements by core load.

The station personnel staffing level will be 370 by core load. Table 4-1 provides a breakdown of this number by depa rtment.

The primary function of the station organization before the time of core load is preparation for operational readiness. This preparation includes training and qualifying personnel; developing and implementing administrative programs and detailed procedures; and identifying and procuring equipment necessary for plant operation and maintenance. In addition, the station staff is actively supporting the preoperational startup program by providing the supervisors, operators, technicians and mechanics to test, operate and maintain systems released from construction. This direct involvement provides an opportunity to demonstrate program adequacy, and optimize station processes and procedures before core load. This

" hands-on" involvement also reinforces plant specific training and provides an opportunity for the Station organization to develop as a cohesive team.

4.3 QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE Station personnel who have the responsibility for plant operation and maintenance will have a combination of education, training, experience, health and skills appropriate to their level of responsibility. To assure the station meets this objective, PSE&G has committed to comply with the requirements of ANSI /ANS-3.1 -1981,

" Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants." These requirements are incorporated in the station administration procedure, Station Personnel Qualification and Training Program.

Table 4-3 provides a listing of experience and qualification for each Hope Creek Station management level emloyee. From a review of this table and Figures 3-1 thru 3-5, it can be seen that PSE&G has met its commitment to staff HCGS with qualified individuals.

4-2

r From a qualification standpoint, experience is defined in terms of professional level, total power plant, nuclear l power plant, navy nuclear, plant operations above 20 % '

power, refueling and startup working time. Several members of the HCGS staff have-also obtained valuable related nuclear plant experience by having been assigned .

to the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) as nuclear power plant evaluators. Others obtained related experience through previous employment with a Nuclear

< Steam Supply System vendor or Architect / Engineering firms.

Recently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established additional experience requirements for the operating shift senior reactor operator. The present l

qualifications and planned hot participative experience of HCGS operating shif t personnel will assure their meeting

,' these latest NRC criteria.

l In the station Radiation Protection Department, further specialized qualifications are required. The Radiation Protection Engineer must meet the qualifications for the Radiation Protection Manager as outlined in Regulatory Guide 1.8. The Radiation Protection Engineer assigned to Hope Creek meets these criteria and furthermore, has been certified by the American Board of Health Physicists.

Table 4-2 summarizes the experience of key management (general manager through senior supervisory positions),

shift supervision, and licensed operator positions. From Table 4-2, it can be seen that the total applicable experience is 696 years or an average of 11 years per person. Of the total applicable experience, 539 years is

! nuclear experience of which 383 years is commercial .

nuclear experience. Additionally, of the total applicable years of experience, 384 years or 55 % is in management positions providing an average of 15 years per person.

From a review of individual experience histories, Hope

- Creek Generating Station personnel have held 18 NRC licenses on commercial nuclear power plants, 10 on PWRs

) and 8 on BWRs. Also, 35 personnel have completed BWR cold license certification and 24 personnel have completed

U.S. Navy certification.

< In summary, PSE&G is staffing the Hope Creek Generating -

- Station with qualified, experienced personnel.

. l Screening for initial license operator candidates is

,:g provided by the Power Operator Service Selection (POSS) 3! examination. All candidates, except prior licensed operators or personnel holding baccalaureate in engineering or reisted sciunce, must achieve a satis-factory score prior to being assigned to the operator

.. license programs. POSS predicts the ability of license candidates to successfully complete the operator training program.

The llope Creek plant reference simulator is scheduled for delivery in the fall of 1984. This training tool will provide hands-on training equivalent to actual plant operation, enhance the operators' understanding of plant operation, and serve to strengthen overall operating ability.

NRC examinations are scheduled for July and September of 1983. The operator license candidates will be divided up into two groups of approximately 25 people each to accommodate training and the examination process.

An eight week pre-license review period will be conducted prior to each NRC examination period. This review will consist of intensive training in theory, Technical Specifications, procedures and systems opera-tion. The pre-license review process will utilize the llope Creek simulator to the maximum extent possible.

Prior to the pre-license review, the operator license candidates will participate in shif t training as part of the normal shif t rotation. This shift training reviews system design and operation and enables the operators to trace out each system in the plant to determine physi;al plant location. Shift training also covers the operation of components using local panels and controls and addresses equipment failure.

Training for newly hired personnel will be conducted commensurate with their previous experience and education, but will ensure that all established training requirements are met.

5.6 INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF PSE&G has a formal instructor qualification and certification program. The goal of this program is for each instructor to be technically competent to teach the highest level course within the instructor's area

- of expertise, and to have the instructional capability ana supervisory skills to effectively train others in

.I the knowledge and skills required to perform their jobs.

Technical competence is the result of the individual's having acquired the necessary subject matter expertise and related work experience to enable the person to be an effective instructor in a particular area of 4 instructional content. Technical competence differs from instructional capability in that an individual can be competent technically but may require additional training to develop the ability to help others learn and evaluate successful performance. Individuals providing instruction to license operator candidates will have received all appropriate training and hold or have held an SRO licence or certification.

Supervisory skills provide the potential for effec-tively supervising trainees. Supervisory skills are independent of instructional capability in that one may be effective in a supervisory capacity without being an effective instructor.

Instructional capability is the potential for being an effective instructor due to the presence of the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities. Instruc-tional capability, which enables the instructor to help people learn and professionally evaluate learner pe r f o rmance , is relatively independent of the particu-lar subject matter being taught. The continuing train-ing program develops the professional growth of the instructor.
