RESUME'UY V. OLDFIELD OB><CV>VES Active participation in the growth of commercial nuclear power through the position of Radiation Protection Manager at an vperacing nu~<ea>

power plant.

>UM~tARY Mr. Oldfield's training and experience exceed the requirements of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.8, Personnel Selection and Trainin

, for the position of Radiation Protection Manager.

Listed be ow are the specific training and experience requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8,and an indication of Mr. Oldfield's qualifications which satisfy the requirements.

The Radiation Protection Mana er RPM should be an ex erienced rofessional in a ) lied radiation rotection at nuc ear faci ities dealin with radi-ation rotection roblems and ro rams simi ar to those at nuc ear ower stations.

Mr,. Oldfie d as ha more than fifteen years of app ied radi-at>on protection experience dealing with radiation protection problems and programs similar to those at nuclear power stations.

Three and-one half years of that experience was at either an operating nuclear power station or associated with nuclear power stations under construction.

Comprehen-sive certification in Health Physics by the American Board of Health Physics is further indication that he is an experienced professional in applied radiation protection.

The RPM should be familiar with the desi n features and o erations of nuclear ower stations that affect the otential for ex osures of ersons to radiation.

Mr.

fie d chaired several radiation incident investi-gation, committees and participated technically in the investigation of radiation exposure incidents during the time he worked at the Hanford N Reactor.

In addition, he provided on-shift radiation protection tech-nical expertise during two major refueling/maintenance outages This work involved performing radiological evauations and calculations to support maintenance procedure development and RWP preparation, as well as providing on-the-job radiation protection consultations.

The RPM should have. the technical com etence to establish radiation

rotection ro rams and the su ervisor ca abi it to irect the work of rofessionals, tec nicians, an gourne men re uire to im ement the radiation rotection ro rams.

t t e request of WNP-3 5

perations, Mr. 0 d ie wrot'e t e lN -3 5

FSAR Subsection 12.5 which.describes the WNP-3/5 Health Physics Program.

While at the University of Kansas, he developed and directed the University's Health Physics Program.

This program provided radiation protection coverage for the broad scope radioactive matqrials and reactor licenses, which included a 250 kW training/research

reactor, two accelerators, numerous X-ray machines and more than 75 radioactive materials projects involving approximately 200 individual radiation users.

He has had approximately four years exper-ience as a supervisor and ten years as a manager, directing the work'of

Resume'uy Y. Oldfield Page 2

SlJNMARY (Continued) both health physics professionals and technicians'Two years as Super visor, Field Inspection and Survey Unit, Radiological Health Sectiora Kansas Department of Health and Environment; two vears as Assistant University Health Physicist, University of Kansas and ten years managerial experience as University Health Physicist, University of Kansas.)

The RPM should have a bachelor's de ree or the e uivalent in a science or en ineerin sub'ect includin some formal trainin in radiation rotection

~

Mr. Oldfield has a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's degree 'in radiological health.

He has had 27 semester hours credit in radiation protection courses as well as approximately 275 contact hours of documented noncredit radiation protection training.

He taught radiation protection courses for 12 years at the University of Kansas as part of the AEC (later ERDA and DOE) sponsored graduate health physics fellowship program f

The RPM should have at least five ears of rofessional ex erience in a

ied ra iation rotect>on.

A master'.de ree ma be considered e uiva ent to one ear of rofessional ex erience and a doctor's de ree ma be considered e uivalent to two ears of rofesssonal ex erience ivhere course work related to radiation rotection is invo ved.

At least three ears of this ro essiona ex enence should be in a ied radiat>on rotection work in a nuc ear facilit dealin with radiolo ical rob ems similar to those encountered sn nuc ear ower stations, referrab in an actual nuclear ower stations ANSI ANS-F 1-1978 states that, "Experience in design and construction may be considered applicable nuclear power plant experience and should be evauated on a case-by-case basis'

and "Experience acquired in nonpower plants such as test, training, research or production reactors, may qualify as nuclear power plant experience on a one-for-one basis, up to a maximum of one year."

ANSI/ANS-F 1-1978 defines "nuclear power plant" as "Any plant using a nuclear reactor to produce electric power, process steam or space heating."

Using the above definitions and methods of accounting for experience, Mr. Oldfield's professional experience is equivalent to:

18.5 years professional exper ience in applied radiation protection (210 months experience

+ masters

degree, 12 months);

15'5 years experience in applied radiation protection work in a nuclear facility dealing with radiological problems similar Ito those encountered in a nuclear power station (University of Kansas, 141 months; N Reactor, 15 months;

WPPSS, 27 months);

4 '

years experience in an actual nuclear power station (N Reactor, 15 months; design, training and licehsing related activities at WNP-2 and WNP-3/5, 27 months; and University of Kansas 250 kW training/research

reactor, 12 months)

EDUCATION OF HEALTH PHYSICS/CHEHISTRY TECHNICIANS NRC Position:

NUREG-0731 and Section 4.5.2 of ANSI 18.1 specify that tec cians have two years experience in their specialty.

The applicant has proposed that technicians at WNP-2 function two specialtiesi health physics and chemistryi with onLy t years of training.

Health Physics appraisals at operating plants have found that 'such combined health physics/chemis technicians have Lead to poor performance in both specia lt because the technicians do not receive adequate tra'iningi fication and retraining in both specialties.

Until the st discuss this item further with the applicants we wiLL cons this an open item.

hni-.

ln wo try ies quali-aff can ider

Response

Technicians at WNP-2 do function in both the Health Physics and Chemistry specialties.

This arrangement is maintained for several reasons:

(1)

Much of the equipmentr proceduresr and training required of the two specialties overlap (i.e.i counting room operation).

'2)

Quality of performance in the chemistry area has a

significant impact on the health physics function.

(3)

Safe performance of the chemistry function requires a

high LeveL of heaLth physics expertise.

(4)

The duaL specialties allow greater flexibility of manpowerr thereby helping to assure that the appropriate type and Level of coverage is available as needed

~

The Supply System recognizes that the dual specialties places additionaL demands on the technicians and has responded accordingly with careful personnel se lection and an extensive training and qualification program.

The Supply System Health Physics/Chemistry Technician training program encompasses four years and includes both academic and practical on-the-job training.

The formal classroom training consists of approximately 250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> of health physics related, course work and 250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> of chemistry/radiochemistry academic training.

Each subject area is evaLuated by a documented examination.

4 I'I

The four-year program additionally uses documented demonstration of specific skills in both the health physics and chemistry functions.

Each technician must demonstrate his/her competence to perform specified skilLs before being a'Llowed to conduct that task independentLy.

Exceptions to the training and qualification program are permitted only when hiring experienced technicians.

Each experienced technician is evaluated on.a case-by-case basis at the time of hire.

The Health Physics/Chemistry Nanager (RPN) specifies t'e Level of placement in the training and qualification program.

The first six months of on-the-job performance is used to re-evaluate placement and adjust as appropriate.

While technicians in training are permitted to perform task's for which they have demonstrated applicabLe skiLLsi they are not designated as journeymen until they have progressed from the point of entry in the training and qualification program through compLetion.

After attainment of journeyman status'he technicians proficiency is maintained through the Continuing Training Program.

Continuing training includes rotation of work assignments through a fuLL spectrum of health physics and chemistry duties and reguLarly scheduled training presentations,.

Examples of continuing training include:

o refresher training on selected topicsi o

new or revised proceduresr o

new equipmenti o

radiological and chemical characteristics of plant systemsr o

new or revised regulationsr and o

new health physics or chemistry practices.

Additionallyr the Health Physics and/or Chemistry Supervisor may prescribe retraining in an area where a

need is recognized.
