Following a Job and Task Analysis conductedby the Nuclear Training Department, a new role as BDB Equipment Operator and twonew tasks were added for the Security Officers qualified as FBMs. The two new tasksare as follows:" Deliver equipment using a tow tractor." Clean debris using a wheel loader.Using the systematic approach to training, a training program has been developed andimplemented to initially train and qualify the Security Officers-FBMs as BDB EquipmentOperators. These Security Officers will be enrolled in a continuing training program tobe retrained on these two tasks on an annual basis.An additional task identified subsequent to the tabletop requires deployment ofcommunications equipment.

In a letter dated August 21,2014, the NRC transmitted a request for additional information (RAI) related to thesubmittal. Dominion's response to the NRC RAI is provided below.NRC Question IIn your Phase 2 Staffing Assessment dated May 7, 2014, you provided information thatstated the following: (1) North Anna Power Station (NAPS) current on-shift staffing maynot be sufficient to perform the FLEX Support Guidelines (FSGS) identified by thestation to support activities following a Beyond-Design-Basis External Event, (2) Shiftpersonnel are not yet trained to perform FSG tasks, and (3) The qualification of on-shiftauxiliary operators (AOs) requires further review to ensure their capabilities toimplement the FSG strategies.Provide an update or supplement to the Phase 2 Staffing Assessment that indicatesNAPS has determined that the current on-shift staffing is capable of performing allrequired FSG tasks and all associated required training has been provided. Include anyactions taken to correct this issue, or justification as to why no action is required.Dominion ResponseThe NEI 12-01 Phase 2 Staffing Assessment that Dominion submitted to the NRC onMay 7, 2014 (Serial No.14-199, ML14133A011) contained four items that requiredfollow-up action based on the results of the assessment (reference Attachment 2 of theMay 7, 2014 letter). The four follow-up action items have been resolved and their statusis provided below:1. Initial FSG task training for site personnel has been completed and FSG tasktraining requirements have been incorporated into the applicable departmentaltraining programs.2. A final NEI 12-01 Phase 2 Staffing Assessment table top exercise was conductedon August 27, 2014 using the final, approved FSGs and Emergency OperatingProcedures (EOPs). The table top exercise validated that the FSG strategiescould be successfully implemented using the current on-shift staff. Thepersonnel participating in the table top exercise had previously received finaltraining on the FSGs/EOPs.
Serial No. 14-435Docket Nos. 50-338/339Attachment, Page 2 of 4An additional task identified subsequent to the tabletop requires a backupmethod for plant announcements. A Chemistry Technician has been assigned toperform this task.3. FSG task qualification training has been provided to the Auxiliary Operators. Inaddition, FSG task qualification requirements have been incorporated into theoperator training program.4. Dominion intends to revise the staffing assessment report to incorporate thisupdated information. As previously committed in the May 7, 2014 letter, a finalrevision of the Dominion NEI 12-01 Phase 2 Staffing Assessment Report will besubmitted to the NRC by January 30, 2015.NRC Question 2A review was also completed of the current security plan to identify the documented onshift security personnel (Revision 19). The following site specific information wasreviewed from the North Anna staffing study submittal (P.6, 17, 18, 21, 22). Thesespecific page numbers provided information concerning the use of security personnelduring events that were described in the staffing study. The site specifically stated that,"security personnel perform both security contingency plan actions and EP tasksconsisting of ERO notification and site personnel accountability. A representative of theNorth Anna Power Station Security department analyzed the EP tasks assigned to on-shift security individuals. It was concluded that performance of the EP tasks did notcause an overlap with their tasks related to the security plan.The following items were noted:1) Security is tasked to remove debris and to configure certain site equipment foruse.2) The staffing analysis determined that these duties (i.e., FSGs) would not causean overlap with the security tasks assigned in the site security plan.3) In accordance with Appendix C to Part 73,Section II.B.5(i), licensees shallestablish and maintain written implementing procedures that provide specificguidance and operating details that identify the actions to be taken and decisionsto be made by each member of the security organization who is assigned dutiesand responsibilities required for the effective implementation of the security plansand the site protective strategy.The NRC staff has reviewed your Staffing Assessment dated May 7, 2014, andrequests the following information to complete its review.
