CAROLINA POWER&LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY REPORT i+0 INTRODUCTION Over the past years, Carolina Power&Light Company's (hereinafter called the Company)nuclear capabilities have grown significantly.
The Company's organizational concepts have changed to accommodate this growth and to meet specific organizational needs as they arose.The dynamic nature of the Company's organization is in great part the result of experience, growth, and continued dedication to the improvement of the Company's nuclear programs.The Company has always been, and will continue to be, totally committed to safety and quality in the construction and operation of our nuclear facilities.
The Company's nuclear program is given top priority on both a daily and long-term basis by the entire management team.The Company has more than 12 years of experience in nuclear operations.
It has safely managed the operation of H.B.Robinson Unit 2 for more than 12 years, Brunswick Unit 2 for over 8 years, and Brunswick U'nit 1 for more than 6 years.At the present time, the Company has over 8,000 employees.
Over 2,000 of these people are dedicated to the nuclear program.This includes personnel at the plants as well as the support personnel provided from corporate organizations.
Of these, over 600 are in offsite organizations that provide direct support to the nuclear plants.l The enhancements that have been made to respond to the needs of the Company's increasing nuclear operations activities fall into three areas: Corporate Organizational Response and Commitment, Plant Organization, and Support Programs.1.1 Cor orate Or anizational Res onse and Commitment One key to the successful management of the Company's nuclear program is direct management involvement.
Through organizational changes and greater management involvement, the Company today provides closer management support of its Nuclear Operations activities than was formerly the case.It is the responsibility of-corporate management to ensure that the Company's nuclear plants are designed, constructed, and operated in a safe and reliable manner.Management's awareness of current concerns that may affect nuclear safety is a critical".esponsibility.
The Company has organized a strong management program consisting of numerous feedback mechanisms such as visits, meetings, and reports.This program ensures that management personnel are fully informed of the status of the nuclear programs and items that need 7390SNP-M attention.
This program has greatly enhanced direct management involvement by allowing management personnel to interface directly with the employees who have first-hand dealings with the programs, projects, and overall operation of the plants.The Company's nuclear activities are the direct responsibility of the Executive Vice President of Power Supply and Engineering and Construction Groups.Highlights of the Executive Vice President's supporting corporate organization are: A Corporate Quality Assurance Department reporting directly to the Executive Vice President.
All Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)functions are consolidated under one manager.There is an on-site QA/QC Unit at each nuclear facility which reports offsite to a Corporate QA/QC Manager.A Corporate Nuclear Safety 6 Research Department reporting directly to the Executive Vice President.
This Department maintains a corporate overview of nuclear safety programs and issues and Health Physics/ALARA Programs.There is an onsite nuclear safety group at each nuclear facility which reports independently, offsite to a Corporate Nuclear Safety Manager.All operating and maintenance, engineering, and construction activities for the Brunswick Plant are consolidated under the direction of the Vice President of Brunswick Nuclear Project who reports directly to the Executive Vice President.
A Power Supply Group, headed by a Senior Vice President responsible for managing the Nuclear Operations and Technical Services Departments.
The responsibilities for nuclear operations of Harris and Robinson fall under the direction of the Vice President of Nuclear Operations.
The Technical Services Department, under the direction of a manager, has expanded significantly in its support in a variety of technical-related disciplines.
An Engineering and Construction Group, headed by a Senior Vice President with Nuclear Plant Engineering and Nuclear Plant Construction Departments, each under a Vice President, who both report to the Senior Vice President.
A Fuel and Materials Management Group, headed by a Senior Vice President with Fuel Support Services under the direction of a Vice President.
This corporate organization provides a sound foundation for supporting nuclear activities at each of the plant sites.1.2 Plant Or anizations Significant enhancements have been made to the Company's operating nuclear plants'rganizations.
In addition, planning and implementation of Harris startup has received considerable attention.
1-2 7390SNP-M 1.2.1 H.B.Robinson Plant Since the early 1970s, there have been significant changes to, and expansion of, the Robinson Plant organization.
Some of the significant enhancements are: Increased staffing and technical support in Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, and Health Physics and Chemistry.
Increased supervisory and managerial positions to maintain appropriate spans of control and management attention-to the various functional areas.Establishment of a Planning and Scheduling Unit.Expanded Regulatory Compliance and Administrative Support.Establishment of OA/QC, Nuclear Safety, and Training groups on site but organizationally separated from the line organization.
Addition of an Industrial Engineering function.1.2.2 Shearon Harris Plant The Harris Site Project organization is similar to Robinson's organization except Harris has a Manager of Plant Operations.
The Harris Site management approach represents the Company's concept of more direct site control of Quality Assurance, Construction, Startup, and prospect support activities.
The Company's experience at the Robinson and Brunswick Uhits provided the background needed to develop the personnel and expertise required to assume the direct control of all key functions.
Particular strengths in the Harris Project management approach are: A Quality Assurance/Quality Control organization which maintains a strong, independent reporting chain;in-house, nondestructive examination (NDE)capability; and N-Stamp Certification of Authorization in the Company's name.P A Design Engineering group located onsite, which interfaces with the Architect/Engineer (A/E), performs some actual design and serves as a foundation for Operating Plant Engineering Support Group.A Site Construction organization which provides construction management for the contractors hired to do the actual construction work.This is different from many prospects where the major A/E is the construction manager.The Construction Management Team at Harris has achieved a good record for the project.In addition to the record of construction accomplished, the project has achieved an outstanding industrial safety record.1-3 7390SNP-M In preparing and planning for Harris startup and operation, the Company will: Ensure maximum utilization of Robinson and Brunswick experience.
Ensure an adequate, well-trained, motivated staff.Plan for expected staff attrition.
Ensure that quality programs are implemented and procedures are prepared to provide for full regulatory compliance with strong emphasis on compliance with procedures and high discipline of operations.
Ensure a well-coordinated startup program.The Company is confident that these plans, training, and programs will result in the safe and reliable startup and operation of Harris.1.2.3 Brunswick Plant Like Robinson, the Brunswick Plant organization has also grown significantly.
The basic improvements at Brunswick are the same as those previously discussed for Robinson.In addition, as discussed earlier, responsibilities have been consolidated under the Vice President of Brunswick Nuclear Project.This restructuring of the Brunswick organization improves the channel of communications between the Corporate Office and the Brunswick Pro)ect.It also provides a managerial environment that has reduced the number of external interfaces.
These enhancements have lowered decision time and increased overall flexibility in the making of decisions necessary to continue the improvement of operations at Brunswick.
1.3 Su ort Pro rams The Company is justifiably proud of the accomplishments of its organization.
The following are some highlights of support programs, additional improvements, and examples of the Company's continuing success in the management of its nuclear activities.
1.3.1~Tra in in Improvements in training have provided for additional simulator experience for requalification of operators.
Simulator training for PPR operators from Robinson and Harris is conducted at the Harris Energy&Environmental Center (HE&EC)located near the Harris Plant.An upgraded PtNR simulator to replace the one currently in operation has been ordered and will include a radiation monitoring system and an emergency response facility information system.Simulator training for Brunswick operators is currently being conducted at Georgia Power's Hatch facility.A BWR simulator is currently being installed at the Brunswick Plant and will be ready for training in October 1983.The HE&EC is a strong example of the Company's increased capability.
The HE&EC serves as the headquarters for the Nuclear Training Section, Environmental 7390SNP-1j Technology Section, and the Radiological and Chemical Support Section.It also provides modern metallurgical and chemical laboratories that support the nuclear plants.1.3.2 Emer enc Pre aredness The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)recently approved the Company's emergency preparedness programs.As a part of its improvement effort, the Company established an Emergency Preparedness thit in the Technical Services Department.
The Company has a Corporate Emergency Plan with supporting procedures that ensure that corporate response to a nuclear emergency is well-organized and coordinated.
Lessons learned during emergency exercises at Robinson and Brunswick have allowed the Company to further refine its emergency plans and procedures.
1.3.3 Health Ph sics The Company is committed to strong Health Physics and ALARA Programs.This commitment is emphasized in a Corporate Health Physics Policy issued initially in 1977 by the Chairman of the Company.In support of this policy, ALARA Programs exist at the operating plants as well as appropriate support organizations such as Nuclear Plant Engineering and Nuclear Plant Construction projects.The Company currently employs five certified Health Physicists and four employees recently took the certification exam and are awaiting the results.A recent survey of health physicist personnel at other utilities showed the Company ranks among the leaders in certification.
The Company's Health Physics and ALARA Programs have received positive reviews both from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations(INPO) and the NRC.1.3.4 Cresa McCormick&Pa es (Cresa)Audit Cresap conducted an eight-month long comprehensive, corporate-wide and independent audit under the direction of the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission during 1982.As a result of this audit, Cresap commended the Company for having: A well-organized top management team.Participative management with a commitment to excellence and innovative change.Sound management approach to the Harris Project incorporating lessons learned from previous generation plants as well as industry experience and competent people from a variety of sources.Extensive and innovative formal management systems that compare very favorably with those of other utilities they had reviewed recently.Cresap's overall assessment of the Company concluded that"CP&L is one of the best-managed utilities that we have audited in the past several years".1-5 7390SNP-M 1.3.5 Plant Im rovement Pro ram The Company's effort at Brunswick is a key example of the involvement and commitment of Management to the Company's nuclear program.These efforts have involved improvement in Health Physics, Maintenance, Operations, and Ihsign.These improvement efforts are showing positive results, and the Company is confident that they will result in significantly improved performance at Brunswick in future years.Similar improvement programs and enhancements are in place at both-Robinson and Harris so that the total scope of our nuclear activities will benefit from those efforts.1.3.6 Essex Review In April of 1980, the Company contracted with Essex Corporation to perform comprehensive human factors engineering evaluations of our nuclear plant control rooms.The primary objective was to improve our control rooms by optimizi'ng the'man-machine interface.
The evaluations were completed in September 1981 for Robinson, Brunswick, and Harris and resulted in detailed data files and summary reports that listed recommendations for improvements.
As a result of these evaluations, the Company completely redesigned the Harris Plant Control Board and rearranged the Control Room to optimize viewing angles.The recommendations for Robinson and Brunswick have been evaluated and implementation is underway.1.3.7 Industr Involvement A further indication of the Company's commitment is the degree of its industry involvement in major industry efforts.The Company actively participates in and supports industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), the ELectric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the t4estinghouse and Boiling Water Reactor Owners'roups.
The Company's current organization ensures that the Company's other operational activites will not detract appropriate management attention from the safe operation of its nuclear plants.The details of these organizational structures and our capabilities to manage its nuclear plant operations during routine and emergency situations are discussed further in Sections 2 through 4 of this report.1-6 7390SNP-M
2.0 MANAGEMENT
OF ROUTINE NUCLEAR OPERATIONS 2~1 ON SITE (HARRIS PLANT STAFF)The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP)is a two reactor nuclear power plant.The overall plant staff, when both units are operational, is projected to consist of approximately 700 Carolina Power&Light Company personnel.
However, since Unit 2 is not scheduled for operation until the 1990s, a functional organization has been developed to maximize the efficient operation of Unit 1, while retaining the flexibility to expand to encompass Unit 2 at a later date (see Figure 2).It is recognized that many lessons will be learned in the operation of Unit 1 that can be used to optimize the final two unit organization.
For this reason, the following description of plant organization will describe the Unit 1 organization only.At the time that personnel are provided for Vhit 2, an increase to six shift Operating Supervisors and an additional full complement of operators will be added;additionally, the mechanical and electrical maintenance subunits will be duplicated to provide the necessary maintenance for Unit 2.The organization for the SHNPP has been developed based on experience gained with the startup and operation of Robinson Unit 2 and Brunswick Units 1 and 2.The organization is designed to ensure clear lines of responsibility, authority, and communication among the various units of the organization, and to provide for clear and effective managerial and supervisory control.Functionally, this organization is similar to the organization for our Brunswick and Robinson plants.As shown on Figure 2, the plant organization is headed by a Plant General Manager, who has the overall responsibility for plant operations.
The organization is divided into five units: Administration, Plant Operations, Planning&Scheduling, Technical Support and Startup&Test.The Administration thit under the Manager-Administration provides the staff support to the entire plant organization.
in the areas of cost control, document control, material/stores control, secretarial/stenographical and clerical/mail support, security, emergency preparedness and industrial engineering.
The Plant Operations Uhit is divided into three major subunits.The Environmental and Radiation Control Subunit provides the chemical/environmental services and radiation protection services for all plant areas.The Maintenance subunit provides day-to-day corrective and preventive maintenance for the operating unit and the common support facilities such as radwaste systems, fuel storage facilities, etc.To increase efficiency and allow the personnel to become most familiar with one area of plant maintenance, this subunit has been divided into an Electrical Maintenance Group, a Mechanical Maintenance Group, a Computer Maintenance Group, and the Support Group which will perform maintenance scheduling, develop the work packages and ensure availability of necessary parts for work projects.The third subunit is Operations, which on a shift basis, operates the unit under the direction of the Operating Supervisor, seven Shift Foremen, providing a supervisor each shift and an on-shift crew of two Senior Control Operators, two Control Operators, and five Auxiliary Operators.
The sixth 2-1 7390SNP shift is provided as a training shift;one additional Shift Foreman and three Senior Reactor Operators are available to supplement any shift with additional workers to cover personnel out sick, training requirements, or other situations as needed.The Startup and Test Lhit is responsible for the initial checkout and preoperational testing of each unit as it is completed by construction forces and prior to turnover to operational forces for initial fuel loading and startup testing.The Planning and Scheduling Unit provides staff functions to the entire plant for planning and scheduling of maintenance and modifications during regular operation periods and outages.The Technical Support Unit provides the staff functions to the entire plant for engineering support and regulatory compliance.
In the following sections, each unit, subunit, and the ma)or organizational structure depicted on Figure 2 is described including primary responsibilities, listing of supporting organizations, and to whom the member of the management group reports.2ol.l Harris Plant Staff Organization The SHNPP organizational structure is based on an analysis of the kinds of key activities needed to achieve the objectives of the organization and the interrelationship of these activities.

2+2 OFFSITE NUCLEAR OPERATIONS SUPPORT 2.2.1 Offsite Or anization The Company's nuclear plants are supported by an extensive offsite organization that provides expertise in a variety of areas.For the most part, the offsite organizations are structured to focus nuclear activities within separate departmental and organizational structures.
This philosophy ensures that the Company's other, nonnuclear activities will not detract appropriate management attention from safe nuclear operation.
As shown on Figure 4, the offsite Corporate support for nuclear operations is managed by Mr.E.E.Utley, Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction Groups who reports to Mr.Sherwood H.Smith, Jr., President/Chairman.
Reporting to Mr.Utley are four officers and a department manager whose organizations further subdivide offsite technical and managerial support into five areas: Mr.L.W.Eury, Senior Vice President-Power Supply Group;Mr.M.A.McDuffie, Senior Vice President-Engineering
&Construction Group;Mr.J.M.Davis, Jr., Senior Vice President-Fuel&Materials Management Group;Dr.T.S.Elleman, Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department; and Mr.H.R.Banks, Manager-Corporate Quality Assurance.
Mr.P.W.Howe, Vice President-Brunswick Nuclear Project, also reports to Mr.Utley;he is located at the Brunswick site.The Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department conducts the independent safety review of nuclear operations, and the corporate health physics program and assessment.
The Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety&Research also 2-33 7390SNP
provides the Senior Management oversight function by formal feedback mechanisms with Senior Management up to and including the President/Chairman.
The Corporate Quality Assurance (COA)Department is responsible for quality assurance (QA)and quality control (QC)within the Company, including engineering, construction, and operations.
In addition, the CQA Department is responsible for QA audit functions.
This department was formed in early 1981 to provide more efficient and effective QA/QC within the Company by consolidating the QA/QC functions that had been under the Technical Services, Nuclear Safety and Research, and the Nuclear Operation Department.
Conducting independent nuclear safety, health physics assessment, and quality assurance oversight functions in organizations separate from the Power Supply Group and Engineering 6 Construction Group provides effective mechanisms for strong independent assessments at the Senior Management level of how well these programs are working.These offsite technical resources and Senior Management oversight mechanisms are described in detail in Sections 2.3 and 2.4.The major offsite support organization for nuclear operations is the Power Supply Group, which includes the Nuclear Operations Department support staff, the operating and maintenance support staff of the Fossil Operations Department, the Technical Services Department, and the Maintenance Support Section.The Power Supply Group provides offsite technical and managerial support to the nuclear plants in the areas of environmental and radiation control, emergency planning, training and retraining, industrial security, maintenance support and planning, plant chemistry and radiochemistry, regulatory compliance, outside contractural supervision, operational management, environmental monitoring, meteorological and seismic monitoring, and nuclear licensing activities.
The concentration of the above listed offsite power supply activities in organizational groups separate from the nuclear safety, quality assurance, and engineering and construction support activities, provides a strong, independent management focus on safe and reliable nuclear operations support.Offsite management in the Power Supply Group is organized to minimize conflict with the application of other resources applied to other nuclear and nonnuclear activities within the.Company.It includes a manageable scope of support activities which is not diluted by the need for management attention to engineering and construction activities and corporate nuclear safety and quality assurance assessment, which is managed by others who report to an equal senior management level.The Fuel and Materials Management Group provides offsite technical and managerial support in the areas of nuclear fuel procurement, refueling operations support, and plant procurement support.The Engineering
&Construction Group provides a source of offsite technical resources to assist and support the operating plants in areas of civil design, instrumentation and controls, computers, mechanical, electrical, nuclear engineering, metallurgical analysis, and construction.
2-34 7390SNP Figure 5 outlines the offsite support organization of the Power Supply Group, Fuel and Materials Management Group, and the Corporate Quality Assurance Department.
The offsite organization for the Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department is shown on Figure 8.The Engineering and Construction Group is shown on Figure 6.The Company has established clear lines of responsibility and effective interface mechanisms between the Engineering 6 Construction Group, the Power Supply Group, and the fuel and Materials Management group which ensures that independent management attention to each of these support activities complements and strengthens the total attention to offsite support of nuclear operations.
Resources of each of the units or sections shown are available to the plants or other units as needed.Routine lines of communication exist between the personnel of each offsite unit and their appropriate counterparts at each nuclear plant.Support of each nuclear plant is the function of the o'ffsite organization, and assistance requested by the plants is routinely provided without a requirement for formal management action.In the event that high level coordination is required for some prospects, the Section managers maintain frequent communication, and the Vice President-Nuclear Operations and/or the Vice President-Brunswick Nuclear Project is fully informed.2.2~1~1 Nuclear 0 erations De artment The Nuclear Operations Department operates within the guidelines of the Corporate Policy Statements on Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety, and the Corporate Quality Assurance Manual.The Vice President-Nuclear Operations is responsible for all aspects of operation and maintenance of the Harris and'Robinson nuclear plants.Some of the Vice President's functional responsibilities include: aO The establishment and approval of the qualification requirements for all plant staff positions and the personal review of the qualification of specific personnel for managerial and supervisory positions.

Periodic meetings are held with the plant Environmental and Radiation Control Supervisors for the purpose of reviewing programs and problems related to health physics and approaches for resolution of those problems.2-43 7390SNP bi Environmental Unit The Environmental Unit provides support to the plants through the Radiological Environmental Lab, located at the Harris Energy&Environmental Center.The Radiological Environmental Lab is well equipped with laboratory equipment such as a Low Beta Counting System, Liquid Scintillation Detection System, Ge Li System, Beta Gamma Counting System, and a ND 4400 Counting system.'Ibis equipment is used by this unit to provide radiological environmental surveillance services to the operating plants and preoperational surveillance for the Harris Plant.This unit performs radiochemical analyses of environmental monitoring samples, prepares and distributes routine and special radiological environmental monitoring reports, and plans and implements radiological environmental monitoring programs for new plants.The Environmental Unit maintains a close working relationship with each plant by making routine visits to each facility.These visits are made to monitor plant programs and procedures and to assist plants with problems.One example of this type of program is the manner in which the unit assists the plant in maintaining the radwaste system by reviewing plant programs and procedures and making recommendations for improving systems operations.
In addition to the permanent staff, this unit also utilizes support from various consultants.
This unit is also responsible for assisting the plants with the implementation and maintenance of programs relating to the Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications.
In order to maintain a high standard of excellence, the Environmental Lab participates in Quality Assurance Programs in conjunction with State and Federal agencies.This program consists of analysis of spiked samples issued by the agencies, or the analysis of split samples and the comparison of laboratory results.A laboratory quality assurance program is also conducted by the Company, which consists of the analyses of unknown samples and interlaboratory comparison of results.The Environmental Unit maintains a cognizance of existing and proposed regulations and coordinates closely with plants and Departmental management to ensure that regulations are understood and effectively implemented.
The Chemistry lhit provides staff chemistry support to the operating nuclear and fossil plants and operates the HE&EC radiochemistry lab in support of the plants.The Chemistry Kit staff assists the plants in developing chemistry programs, procedures, and specifications.
Continuous review of the plant chemistry programs is maintained through review of weekly and/or.monthly chemistry data and reports from each plant.These reports are also transmitted to consultants who are experts on the various plants, and the consultants'eviews are coordinated by the Chemistry Unit staff.The staff periodically visits the plants to discuss the reviews of chemistry programs and procedures, 2-44 7390SNP to inspect the plant for chemistry conditions, or to coordinate recommendations from the staff and/or consultants.
The Chemistry Unit staff also maintains industry contact through various organizations such as EPRI, the EEI Chemistry Committee, and ASTM.The radiochemistry lab provides services to the plants by performing chemistry analyses which may be beyond the capability of the plants or are special one-time studies for which the plants are not equipped or staffed.Examples are radwaste evaporator bottoms studies, quality assurance checks on bulk chemicals specifications, and chemical cleaning solution analyses.The radiochemistry lab conducts a round robin program where standard unknown solutions are sent to the plant labs for analysis.The results are analyzed by the Chemistry Lab Supervisor and returned to the plants with recommendations for improvements in procedures or techniques.
This program includes samples for standard chemical analysis and samples for radioisotope analysis.This serves as an important quality assurance check for the plant labs.Emer enc Pre aredness Unit The Emergency Preparedness Unit of the Technical Services Department is responsible for: Directing and coordinating Corporate Emergency Planning to ensure regulatory compliance; assessing the readiness of all CP&L emergency plans and programs;serving as interface with regulatory agencies on emergency preparedness matters;providing emergency preparedness support for CP&L nuclear plants;maintaining training qualifications of plant personnel in emergency response;testing emergency preparedness by preparing and conducting exercises; ensuring the availability and operational readiness of emergency facilities, equipment, and supplies;developing dam failure emergency plans for the hydro plants;and for providing coordination with Federal, State, and local agencies.2.2.1'Cor orate Oualit Assurance De artment The Corporate Quality Assurance Department was formed in 1981 to consolidate the quality assurance, quality control, and audit functions which were previously performed separately for engineering and construction activities, operations activities, and corporate quality assurance audit activities.

2.2.1.6 En ineerin and Construction
'he Company's nuclear project management experience began with Robinson.Robinson Unit 2 was a"turn key" project, whereby the initial responsibility for design and construction rested with the prime contractor, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, and the Company's participation in construction and site quality assurance was limited.The Company did, however, take active roles in the area of licensing, startup testing, and operation, and retained ultimate responsibility for the entire plant.This approach proved to be sound for that period as shown by the fact that Robinson has been one of the most reliable nuclear power plants constructed in the whited States.Acceptable proposals for turn key plants diminished, however, and the need for more direct control by the Company in future nuclear construction became apparent.Consequently, at Brunswick, the Company assumed greater engineering and construction management responsibilities.
For example, separate contracts were awarded for engineering and construction with the Company assuming more responsibility for coordination of the total pro)ect than it had at Robinson.As Brunswick progressed, we realized that in the future even more direct management responsibility for engineering and construction of our nuclear plants would be essential.
This resulted in a change in the Company's construction management policies and led to our creating an organization which could assure direct control of construction management activities for Harris.Our experience during Robinson and Brunswick construction provided the background we needed to develop the personnel and the corporate management expertise required for the Harris Project.Specifically, for the Harris 2-52 7390SNP project we engaged an A/E (Ebasco)for design.The Company provides the construction management for the contractors hired to do the actual construction work.-In this case, Ihniel Construction Company has the prime contract for construction of the power block and associated facilities.
As construction manager, the Company is responsible for job coordination and communication, planning, cost control, inspection, quality assurance, accounting, warehousing, procurement, field engineering, milestone scheduling, and establishing and monitoring the master schedule.The master construction schedule is expanded by the Company into a critical path network by use of PMS-IV, a computerized project management tool.This exercise of construction management by th'e Company aids in making the actual determination as to the rate and sequence of construction, as well as the determination as to which portions of work will be accomplished by Daniel and which portions are better handled by separate contracts let by the Company.In addition, the Company retains and exercises authority to approve or disapprove prime contractor recommendations on construction methods and force levels, provides the communications link between the designer (Ebasco)and builder (Daniel and others), and controls site delivery dates.By retaining these responsibilities, the real burden of construction management remains with the Company rather than being delegated to a constructor, as was our past , practice.The above experience support the contention that we have the management resources necessary to safely design and construct Harris Unit 2, while providing the required technical backup resources for Harris U'nit 1 operations.
En ineerin&Construction Grou Technical Staff Resources The Engineering and Construction Group supports nuclear operations in the areas listed on Figure 4.En ineerin Resources Engineering support of the Harris Project is provided by the Nuclear Plant Engineering Department which is organized into two sections: The Harris Plant Engineering Section and the Engineering Support, Nuclear Plants Section.The Harris Plant Engineering Section is responsible for providing the design and engineering for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, including engineering support of site activities.
This includes: Evaluation and preparation of responses to the NRC I&E Bulletins and Orders;engineering of plant modifications; plant system problem resolution; and expertise in the nuclear, civil, instrumentation and controls, electrical, and mechanical disciplines.
The section generates engineering documents, manages the contract for A/E service, provides direction for project design, performs appropriate design activities, provides resolution of field problems, and manages the procurement of engineered equipment.
This Section is organized into three units: Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil.Each of these units is headed by a Principal Engineer.The units are organized into subunits to handle specialized areas of each discipline such as power and I&C, radwaste, nuclear steam supply, and hangers and restraints.
2-53 7390SNP Additional support and'performance organizations provide interface and schedule control.The Harris Plant Engineering Section is located at the Harris Site and works on a day-to-day basis with the site construction organization, site startup organization, and Harris Plant operations organizations to assure overall success of the project.The on site Company staff is supplemented by A/E and contract engineers working under the direction of, and in accordance with our QA and Design Control program.The Engineering Support, Nuclear Plant Section provides engineering support for the Company's operating nuclear plants.The Section is organized into three units: a Mechanical (Systems)Unit, a Mechanical (Components) thit, and an Electrical Unit.These units are under the direction of Principal Engineers.
In addition, the section has the capability and is experienced in adding contract engineers and designers to supplement its forces, working under Department supervision and to Company procedures, as well as utilizing outside A/E organizations.
These units are located in the General Office, but spend substantial time in the field in support of operating plant modification.
The Vice President-Nuclear Plant Engineering also has on his staff a Director-Nuclear Engineering Safety Review, who is responsible for assuring that operations and engineering feedback on both internally and externally generated nuclear plant safety issues are incorporated into new plant design and into modifications to operating plants.He assures that a program is in place and implemented to ensure that Departmental personnel are trained in their responsibilities to meet NRC regulations, codes, standards, and other commitments made by the Company, and in particular that ALARA considerations are factored into all design activities.
En ineerin Su ort for Harris Unit 1 Startu and 0 erations Engineering Support of the testing, startup and operation of Harris is provided by the Nuclear Plant Engineering Department through the Harris Plant'ngineering Section located at the Harris Site.During the testing, startup and operation of Harris, the Harris Plant Engineering Section will maintain its discipline structure.
The responsibility of this organization will be to provide engineering modifications and design configuration control for the operating unit.The Harris Plant'Engineering Section will produce detail design modifications required by the plant.The section will focus on generation and maintenance of design documents (drawings, specifications, design basis documents, etc.).Technical support will be provided to the operations organization as required in areas such as spare parts, Q list equipment, equipment qualification, etc.Harris Plant Engineering personnel will be available to participate in the review of plant operating, maintenance and surveillance procedures, as requested.
A major benefit of this process will be that the same technical staff that administered the design of the Harris, Plant during construction of the plant will be responsible for the technical support of plant operations.
2-54 7390SNP Construction Su ort Resources The Nuclear Plant Construction Department has the responsibility for construction of all nuclear generating facilities and associated systems required for the production of nuclear power by the Company and for providing assistance as requested on operating plant modification.
Currently, there are three sections which are staffed and operational:
The Harris Site Management Section, the Robinson Construction Management Section, and the Construction Procurement and Contracting Section.The Project General Manager of the Harris Site Management Section is responsible for construction management of the Harris site and for the control over the constructor and contractors of the plant site.He supervises professionals in the engineering support, inspection, cost control.and project accounting areas.He is responsible for the review of design drawings and specifications to ensure ease of construction.
He is also responsible for the administration of contracts, the coordination of Company-owned tools and equipment, participation in construction methods, selection planning, and direct supervision and inspection of the constructor and contractors.
The Robinson Construction Manager is responsible for construction and engineering for the Robinson generation facilities as required'o complete project assignments in a manner which minimizes impact on plant operations, keeps management informed, and meets all requirements.
Site staffs have been established at the Robinson Plant to perform construction work assigned to the Nuclear Plant Construction Department.
These staffs are termed the Robinson Construction Management Section.The work being performed by this section includes major modifications or additions to the existing plants which are beyond the scope that can be conveniently handled by the plant organizations and which are specifically assigned by the Nuclear Operations Department.
The Robinson Construction Management Section manages, administers, supervises, and inspects both firm-price and reimbursable contractors performing modifications and additions for the respective plants.Activities include review of design drawings to ensure ease of construction, implementation of the construction ALARA program, cost control, schedule, and coordination and direction of contractor activities.
This section participates in selection of construction methods, planning and scheduling, providing engineering support, and in direct supervision and inspection over several contractors.
The Manager-Construction Procurement and Contracting provides all procurement and contracting activities required to support the completion of construction project assignments.
He supervises professionals in'providing both firm-price and reimbursable contracts, site procurement, expediting, and construction equipment and tool management.
Site procurement staffs have been established at the Harris, Robinson, and Brunswick Plants to perform procurement of materials and equipment to support construction assigned to the Nuclear Plant Construction Department.
2.2.1.7 Cor orate Nuclear Safet (CNS)Section The CNS Section monitors the Company's operating nuclear plants to assure the associated nuclear safety programs are carried out in an effective manner.Independent Review (IR)and the Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG)2-55 7390SNP functions make up the primary areas of responsibility.
The CNS organization consists of over 30 professionals allocated among four units;one offsite in the General Office and three at the nuclear plants, one at each site.The offsite unit (Nuclear Safety Review)is responsible for the IR program as well as providing general evaluations of safety related systems.The CNS independent review activity addresses the following:
a~b.C~d.e.f.ge h.Procedure and changes meeting 10CFR50.59 review criteria Licensing actions Test or experiments not described in the facility FSAR Plant operational occurrences (LERs)Regulatory violations (IE Reports)Technical Specification changes Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (PNSC)meeting minutes Any item deemed appropriate for review relative to safe operations Required reviews are processed in the manner described below: Safety related items are evaluated by the responsible members of the respective plant staff.If the item contains an unreviewed safety question, Technical Specification change, FSAR change, or is deemed safety-significant by the Plant General Manager, it is forwarded to the CNS Section for independent review.Upon receipt, the item is logged in and sent to the NSR Director.Depending on the extent of the item and the disciplines or areas involved, the package is as'signed to one or more of the Project Engineers in the IR Subunit.Considerations to be included in the review are specified along with the time frame in which the review is to be completed'ith respect to both time and detail, the Project Engineer has a significant amount of latitude in carrying out-the assignment.
Sometimes additional details that need to be considered are uncovered in the review, or a given review may produce unforeseen complexities that require more time than first estimated.
In these instances the scope and time are adjusted as necessary with the concurrence of the Principal Engineer.Once the assignment is finished, the comments are documented and the package is sent to the Principal Engineer for concurrence.
The Principal Engineer evaluates the package, and if satisfied, sends it to the Director-Nuclear Safety Review for final approval and filing.If not satisfied, the Principal Engineer returns the package to the reviewer with specific comments that need resolution before approval.For each item reviewed at least three signatures of qualified individuals are required to show that the items has been adequately evaluated.
The final signature is normally the Director-Nuclear Safety Review.In all cases where Technical Specification changes are submitted to the NRC or where a modification or test constitutes an unreviewed safety question, formal approval must be obtained from CNS prior to implementation'n the case of modifications which do not constitute unreviewed safety questions, an approval memorandum is required, but the modification work can proceed before receipt.Formal approvals are issued under the signature of the Manager-CNS.2-56 7390SNP If a specific item.cannot be fully closed out, yet the open aspect does not constitutes an immediate safety problem, a"follow-up item" may be issued.In these cases the review item is-closed out and a specific follow-up,document is initiated to trace and eventually close out the long-term open issue.These follow-up items may be generated by any CNS fhit, are serialized, updated, and closed out in a time frame consistent with their priority.The respective Unit Director reviews the status of outstanding items to assure they are being handled in a timely manner.Most items are resolved via direct contact between the CNS Engineers and the appropriate individuals of the plant staff.However, if such efforts are not successful and it is determined that further action is required to enhance plant safety, a formal concern or recommendation is issued.A recommendation results from a decision that a specific course of action is desired to improve nuclear safety margins.A concern is initiated when the course of action is unspecified but an identified deficiency requires recertification to improve nuclear safety margins.Formal correspondence describing the concern or recommendation is initiated and sent to the appropriate Vice President in the nuclear operations organization for resolution.
Target dates for resolution and final corrective action are established consistent with the safety implications.
If the problem is of immediate safety concern, it is verbally communicated to the Plant General Manager and respective Vice President for prompt resolution.
Additional reports to Senior Management are discussed in Section 2.3.A significant number of the items reviewed in the IR program are Licensee Event Reports (LERs).These LERs are examined for safety implications, accuracy of room cause identification, and adequacy of corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Repetitive events are examined closely for safety significance and proper corrective actions.Trends of LERs relative to equipment, procedure, and personnel deficiencies are also examined to highlight areas which may needs attention.
The second major responsibility of the NSR Unit is the evaluation of plant safety-related systems to assess the overall performance.
This activity is carried out by gathering and compiling data generated by tests, modifications, and repairs of the system;conducting interviews with operators; reviewing industry practice;and integrating this information
'into an overall performance summary.Periodic reports are issued providing the nuclear operations personnel with an outline of the evaluation, conclusions, and any appropriate recommendations and/or concerns.The NSR Unit also monitors unresolved safety issues and is developing capabilities in the transient analysis area.The main thrust of these programs is to act as the primary technical contact on key genesis issues affecting CPRL nuclear plant operations and gaining the ability in-house to thoroughly evaluate and resolve issues insofar as practicable On-site Nuclear Safety lhits fulfill the role of the ISEG as outlined in NUREG-0737.
These units are located at each CP&L nuclear plant site and have a relatively high degree of flexibility in carrying out their tasks.Major functions included in the ISEG role are: 2-57 7390SNP
%a 0 bo Co d~e.Operating experience feedback program Procedures and modification reviews Evaluation of transients and safety system challenges Direct observation of plant activities Special investigations The operating experience feedback function consists of screening assigned documents for applicability to the plant.Documents such as plant reports, NRC issuances, Company reports generated external to the plant, and industry assessments of operating experience are included in the system.The ONS Unit determines if an item is applicable and then routes it to the cognizant plant personnel with specified action to be taken.A document control system is used to assure proper action.As opposed to the 10 CPR 50.59 review conducted by the NSR Lhit on selected procedures and modifications, the task carried out by ONS under this heading is directed toward an"on-line" technical adequacy check.Emphasis is placed on identifying programmatic deficiencies and establishing a good feedback loop to ensure.corrections are applied'o the procedure/modification development process.The same focus is placed on the assessment of plant transients and safety system challenges, i.e.,"real time" assessment that thoroughly address the initiating events and apply the lessons learned.In the routine conduct of CNS Section activities, informal contacts are required throughout the Operations Groups of the Company.The Section's members are unconstrained in these contacts and have the organizational freedom, authority, and independence to contact any person regarding safety matters.Other than members of the plant organizations, frequent contacts are made with the support functions in the Nuclear Operations and the Engineering and Construction Departments.
2.2.1.8 Cor orate Health Ph sics The Corporate Health Physics Section, under the supervision of the Nanager-Corporate Health Physics, consists of personnel with education and/or work experience in fields of radiation hygiene or health physics.The section is also responsible for the formulation and recommendation of corporate level health physics policies and programs, evaluation of health physics programs and recommending any needed improvements and modifications, and providing health physics expertise throughout the Company.The Corporate Health Physics Section formulates and recommends corporate level health physics policies and programs, evaluates existing health physics programs and recommends any needed improvements to these programs, provides support to the licensing and corporate nuclear safety activities of the Company, development and distribution of the Corporate ALARA Program, and periodic assessment of various ALARA programs developed to comply with the Corporate ALARA Program.The section staff has the flexibility to review all aspects of the Company's health physics programs including staffing, training, procedures, equipment, management support, etc.The staff conducts a range of activities to accomplish this review including assignments at operating nuclear plants to assist in health physics activities, attendance at meetings with health 2-58 7390SNP physics personnel associated with nuclear plant operations, and review of NRC inspection and enforcement reports, Corporate QA audit reports, and incoming NRC Correspondence.
The section staff review proposed NRC and EPA regulations, NRC regulatory guides, and industry standards pertaining to health physics activities to assess the potential impact on Company operations.
Company management is advised of the results of these evaluations as appropriate to assist management in planning to meet any future requirements.
These proposed requirements are circulated to appropriate Company health physics personnel for, their review and information.
The Manager-Corporate Health Physics participates in several health physics task forces and ad hoc industry groups to assist in efforts to assess nuclear industry health physics activities.
This information is used to keep appropriate Company personnel informed about the activities for possible utilization in Company operations.
Discussions with health physics personnel at other utilities and visits to their facilities are used to assess and incorporate, as appropriate, information obtained from other utilities.
The Manager-Corporate Health Physics investigates known or suspected radiation overexposures as defined in applicable state of federal regulations and reporting the results of the investigation to the Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction including steps that have been taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.The staff also reviews other matters of noncompliance pertaining to Company health physics activities and has the organizational freedom to review in-depth the circumstances surrounding the noncompliance and report the results of the in-depth investigation to management levels as determined by the Manager-Corporate Health Physics.The Manager-Corporate Health Physics is also responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the Corporate ALARA program.The Corporate ALARA Program defines the scope and requirements for individual ALARA programs for Company health physics activities as well as activities which affect health physics programs, such as nuclear plant engineering and construction.
The line organizations are required to implement appropriate ALARA programs that comply with the Corporate ALARA Program.The Manager-Corporate Health Physics has been assigned the responsibility for conducting a periodic management review of the quality assurance audit program.The review of this program is conducted twice each year and results are documented in reports and discussed with the Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research and the Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction.
The reports are also sent to the Chairman/President of the Company.The Manager-Corporate Health Physics has complete freedom to discuss health physics matters with anyone within the Company including the Chairman/President.
The Corporate Health Physics Section has no line responsibility for engineering, construction, or operation.

2 3 Senior Mana ement Oversi ht Functions The Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department provides Senior.Management,'ncluding the Chairman/President and the Board of Directors, a continuing assessment of current nuclear safety programs.2-66 7390SNP Additionally, should any nuclear safety or quality assurance issue require immediate attention, the Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research has the authorized organizational freedom to contact anyone with the Company, including the Chairman/President and the Board of Directors, in order to resolve such concern to his satisfaction.
Figure 8 shows these administrative channels and direct communications channels.The Corporate policies for nuclear safety and quality assurance are set forth in Exhibit 1 and 1A.The Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department meets quarterly (or as immediate attention dictates)with the managers of OA/OC at Brunswick, Robinson, and Harris and the Manager of the COA department to discuss safety and QA issues.He also meets with the Plant General Managers at Brunswick and Robinson and will begin to meet with the Plant General Manager at Harris on a quarterly basis.If the Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research is absent, or in the event he does not,respond satisfactorily, each of the listed Managers and Directors are required to communicate directly with the Chairman/President.
In addition, the Vice President of Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research meets approximately twice a year with the Company Chairman/President (exhibit 3)to review actions related to nuclear safety at the plants and to present a nuclear safety summary.An annual presentation to the Board of Directors is made on Nuclear Safety of the operating plants.If the Vice President-Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research is not satisfied with the Chairman/President's response, he is directed to meet with a member of the Board of Directors to express his concerns.This strong program which implements an effective Senior Management feedback system, independent of the normal administrative channels, ensures that those people within the Company who administer nuclear safety and quality assurance programs maintain complete organizational freedom to act with written Corporate authority, A similar Corporate Policy exists with respect to health physics and radiation protection (see Exhibit 4, memorandum from J.A.Jones to members of Senior Management), in which the goals and objectives of the radiation protection programs are established and mechanisms for Senior Management oversight are delineated.
Additionally, documentation which implements this policy is included in Exhibit 4.Additional Senior Management oversight is effected by routine reports.Senior Management receives copies of the major reports generated by Corporate Nuclear Safety.These" include a bimonthly summary of outstanding items, a summary of LER trends by categories, and activities reports that summarize operations experience feedback and review activities.
As appropriate, detailed assessments of system performance may also be distributed to senior management.
A"management advisement" may be included in the report if a commitment does not appear to be sufficient to resolve a problem by the established target date.Items of interest regarding safety areas are also briefly summarized as a means of keeping senior management apprised of ongoing activities of importance.-
2-67 7390SNP Senior Management also receives direct feedback on the results of quality assurance audits.An audit report includes the audit scope, participants, results, recommendations, comments, and details of nonconformances.
There are two types of nonconformances that are included in the report: findings and concerns.A nonconformance requires documented corrective action for resolution A comment is a weakness which may present a potential problem and may not require documented action.The report is addressed to the Company President/Chairman, the Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction, and the Senior Vice President-Power Supply, with copies to the activity which was audited.Within 30 days after receipt of the report, the audited activity must formally indicate the corrective action and schedule for resolving each finding.The Manager reviews these responses for adequacy and contacts the responsible managers to resolve any problems.Zn addition, monthly reports containing the status of all quality-assurance audits are sent to Senior Management.
The key to the success of this audit program is its innate ability and freedom to identify deficiences to Senior Management at the same time they are identi,fied to middle management.
Senior Management responsible for nuclear plant operations is keenly interested in all aspects of plant operations and maintains an up-to-date awareness of any concerns that ma'y affect nuclear safety.On a daily basis, the Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction receives written reports of the status of operating units, load reductions, and reasons for those reductions.
Through direct discussions and staff meetings, the Vice Presient-Nuclear Operations and the Vice President-Brunswick Nuclear Project keep the Senior Vice President-Power Supply advised of any significant concerns affecting the nuclear plants.On a periodic basis, the Executive Vice President-Power Supply and Engineering
&Construction Groups, the Senior Vice President-Power Supply, and the Vice President-Nuclear Operations, meet at the operating nuclear plants to review matters related to nuclear plant operations with plant management personnel.
2.4 Offsite Technical Staff Resources The functional organization of the offsite groups which support nuclear operations is described in Section 2.2.1.Within this organization are personnel with the training, experience, and expertise to ensure that technical capability is maintained in the following areas: a~Nuclear, mechanical, structural, electrical, thermal-hydraulics, and fluid systems b.Metallurgy and materials; instrumentation and controls engineering C~'d~e.Plant chemistry and radiochemistry Health physics Fueling and refueling operations support 2-68 7390SNP Maintenance support g.Technical and Engineering support h.Operations management i.quality assurance Fire protection k.Emergency Preparedness The distribution of areas of expertise and responsibility within the functional organizaiton is depicted on Figure 4.In addition, the Company's staff resources rely upon other technical resources such as the HENDEC.THE HENDEC provides modern labs that support the Company's staff resources in a variety of ways.A detailed discussion of that support can be found in Technical Services Department offsite support (Section 2.2.1.4).In order to demonstrate the staff personnel resources in a clear and concise manner, a figure and several tables are provided.Figure 9 shows authorized and actual staffing levels of professionals, including degreed engineers, and the total years of experience in each depicted department.

2.5 Coordination
of Interde artmental Technical Staff Su ort Coordination of technical staff support for nuclear operations is the ultimate responsibility of the Vice President-Nuclear Operations Department.
Written memoranda define each department's functional responsibilities for support activities; however, ultimate responsibility for safe nuclear operations is assigned to the Vice President-Nuclear Operations.
During routine operations, when the Nuclear Operations Department requires technical assistance, the appropriate manager initiates a written Task Assistance Request (TAR)to the department within the Company which is assigned responsibility for those activities.
Typically, the Nuclear Plant Engineering Department is requested by the Nuclear Operations Department to provide engineering assistance to resolve a plant design problem by initiation of a TAR.The Nuclear Plant Engineering Department performs the necessary engineering and recommends a solution to the Nuclear Operations Department.
The modifications are designed to comply with the Corporate QA Program, the plant Technical Specifications, and to other appropriate design codes.The Nuclear Plant Construction Department may be requested by the Nuclear Operations Department to perform the installation, or the modification may be installed by the Nuclear Operations Department.
All modifications to the operating plant are approved by the appropriate management in the Nuclear Operations Department prior to installation.
Similar definitions of interdepartmental responsibilities exist between the Fuel Department, Technical Services Department, and Nuclear Operations Department to ensure that nuclear refuelings and spent fuel movements are coordinated properly, nuclear licensing interface with NRC is coordinated with the plants, and that meteorological, seismological, and environmental monitoring programs are carried out as required by each Plant Operating License.Should situations arise at nuclear plants requiring immediate technical staff support, the Vice President-Nuclear Operations Department requests immediate assistance from appropriate department heads throughout the Company or from outside contractors and vendors, if necessary.
2.6 Offsite Staff Trainin Training for the offsite technical support personnel is primarily supplied in the course of routine operations.
Written procedures for handling incoming NRC correspondence ensure that appropriate offsite support staff are aware of current NRC directives and issues.Plant events and modifications would routinely be discussed with appropriate offsite personnel by the plant staff, and this interaction is an excellent mechanism to keep the offsite personnel informed.Many of the offsite personnel who deal with the nuclear power plants have spent time at the plant sites and have, therefore, received plant-specific health physics and security indoctrinations.
As new personnel join the offsite support groups, they will also receive this training as their job assignments require it.Expertise in specific areas is maintained by continual on-the-job training as routine job assignments are carried out.Offsite support staff are active participants in many industry groups which deal with generic interests and problems of power plants such as the Edison Electrical Institute, the Southeastern Electric Exchange, and the Atomic Industrial Forum.In addition, this staff routinely participates in utility owners'roups in order to respond to hardware or regulatory concerns such as 2-75 7390SNP BWR Pipe Cracking or the PWR Steam Generator issues.New information is passed onto the others within the Company who could benefit by briefings by those who first come into contact with the new information.
The Nuclear Training Section provides a formal, professional orientation program for all newly assigned Operations Department professional staff.Depending on the new employee's experience, this program may consist of up to five phases.In addition, supervisory/management courses are presented by the Employee Relations Department in the area of Human Resources Development; Organizational Development Specialty Training Courses are routinely utilized for employee upgrading and specialization.
2.7 Contract Assistance The Fuel and Materials Management Group maintains a large number of active contracts for labor and services in order to ensure availability of qualified personnel when they are needed by the nuclear plants to augment the Company's resources.
These contracts provide the capability to obtain additional maintenance personnel, such as mechanics, electricians, I&C Technicians, and technical specialists, such as RCPT Technicians, on an expedited basis.The Company also has contracts with engineering and consulting firms for the purpose of having immediate access to specialized technical expertise when it becomes necessary to supplement Company technical capabilities.
For example, contracts are in effect with the NSSS vendors, Westinghouse and General Electric, as well as architect engineers, such as Ebasco and debited Engineers.
In general, contracts are written so that the General Managers of the nuclear plants can obtain the services and resources provided by these contracts as deemed appropriate.
This mechanism ensures that contractual assistance for nearly every conceivable task is available and ready when needed.2-76 7390SNP 3.0 Emer enc Res onse Ca abilities The Company has developed a Corporate Emergency Plan which, in con)unction with the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP)Emergency Plan, describes the onsite and Corporate level emergency response for the SHNPP.3.1 Emer enc Classes The Corporate Emergency Plan makes provision for emergency response to four different emergency classes which in order of increasing severity are: Uhusual Event.Alert Site Emergency.General Emergency The categorization or classification of events according to one of the four emergency classes is done on the basis of guides (specific sets of plant conditions, instrument readings, etc.)called Emergency Action Levels (EALs)~The EALs are published in Plant Emergency Procedures'he initial responsibility for recognizing off-normal plant conditions and categorizing them within the parameters of the four emergency classes is assigned to the Shift Foreman/Operating Supervisor who has the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally activate the Plant Emergency Plan and initiate any emergency actions.A clear line of succession to the Shift Foreman/Operating Supervisor is established in the Plant Emergency Plan.Upon declaration of an"Unusual Event," the Shift Foreman/Operating Supervisor shall cause appropriate onsite personnel to be notified and shall begin notification of offsite resources as deemed necessary to assist in the response effort.Upon declaration of the"Alert" emergency condition, an accident is presumed to have occurred or to be in progress which involves an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant and the response actions as detailed in the Plant Emergency Plan are initiated.
A"Site Emergency" is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public.A"General Emergency" is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity.
3'Onsite Resources and Activities The Plant Emergency Plan provides for an onsite emergency organization to cope with any accident situation.
This emergency organization will utilize the existing onsite organizational structure to the greatest extent practical to take advantage of established lines of communication and responsibility The organization provides for management personnel to be assigned responsibility for specific functions.
The onsite emergency organization, headed by the Site 3-1 7390SNP Emergency Coordinator (Plant General Manager or alternate), will be responsible for all site operations necessary to establish safe plant conditions.
The onsite emergency organization includes resources discussed in the following paragraphs.
3.2.1 Control Room Resources When an emergency first occurs it is assumed that only the minimum required shift personnel will be available.
The Shift Foreman/Operating Supervisor will be in charge and will serve as the site Emergency Coordinator until relieved.The shift licensed operating staff shall consist of personnel identified earlier in Section 2.The shift organization will be augmented when requ1red as additional personnel are called into the plant 1n accordance with Plant Emergency Procedures.
3.2.2 Technical Su ort Center (TSC)The TSC located in the Fuel Handling Building will be activated in the event of an"Alert" or more serious emergency class to provide added support to Control Room personnel.
The onsite TSC will be under the supervision of the Site Emergency Coordinator (Plant General Manager or his designated alternate) to control all site operations necessary to establish safe plant conditions.
Four emergency response positions, the Plant Operations Director, the Emergency Repair Director, the Logistics Support Director and the Rad1ological Control Director, report to the Site Emergency Coordinator in the TSC when it is activated.
The TSC has been designed to function in accordance with NRC requirements as set forth in NUREG 0737 Supplement 1 and plant emergency procedures
.Personnel to staff the TSC may come from the plant staff, the offsite organization and/or, through contract arrangements, other organizations as described 1n the Plant Emergency Plan.These personnel or their equivalent replacements will be available continuously for the duration of the accident condition.
3.2.3 erational Su ort Center (OSC)An onsite OSC will be established in the Plant Service Building inside the Protected Area.It is separate from the control room and the TSC and is the place in which the operations support personnel will assemble for assignments in an emergency situation.
Communications with the control room and the TSC will be provided.3.2.4 Plant Emer enc Procedures Emergency and accident procedures w111 include: a~A clearly established chain of command which identifies the individuals and their alternates, their responsibilities and authority, and lines of communication during an emergency 3-2 7390SNP b.Adequate communication systems and detailed instructions for contacting the plant personnel necessary to meet the Plant Emergency Plan and for contracting the applicable offsite personnel to implement offsite response plans.C~d.Control room access shall be limited to onsite operators and personnel requested by the Site Emergency Coordinator and/or Shift Supervisor.
Clearly specified lines of authority and special training required.e.Provision for emergency classification, notification, activation of emergency personnel and facilities, accident assessment, radiological dose projection and monitoring, public warning and notification, and protective actions.3.2.5 Emer enc Plan Trainin and Exercises Initial training and annual retraining in the implementation of the emergency procedures is required for all onsite personnel with emergency assignments.
Additionally, drills or exercises are held to ensure that all the personnel with emergency assignments are capable of performing their emergency duties.3.3 Offsite Resources and Activities 3.3.1 Emer enc Res onse Facilities The Corporate Emergency Plan provides for the establishment of a number of special emergency facilities which include the Emergency Operations Facility, a Plant Media Center, a Corporate Emergency Operations Center and a Corporate Headquarters Media Center.The Company is constructing an Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)located at the, Shearon Harris Energy and Environmental Center (HE&EC)approximately 2 miles from the Plant, to house offsite Corporate, A/E, NSSS vendor, and other personnel who will provide emergency support and long-tenn recovery support to the plant under the direction of the Emergency Response Manager.The EOF, when activated, is responsible for performing offsite notifications and environmental monitoring, assessing consequences of radiation releases to the environment and recommending offsite protective actions to governmental agencies.The Plant Media Center will also be located at the HE&EC.The Plant Media Center will be operated under the direction of the Site Public Information Coordinator.
Center personnel will assist the various media representatives in obtaining accurate information regarding the emergency.
The Corporate Spokesman will work out of the Plant Media Center and participate in news conferences with representatives of the NRC and state and local governments
.Another Company emergency response facility is the Corporate Emergency Operations Center (CEOC).The CEOC is an information collecting and emergency support facility located at the Corporate Headquarters in Raleigh, NC.The 3-3 7390SNP CEOC provides an interface between facilities at the plant site and Company top management as described in the Corporate Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures.
The Corporate Headquarters Media Center, also located in Raleigh, provides media related support to the plant.3.3.2 Emer enc erations Facilit Or anization (EOF)The EOF organization consists of the Emergency Response Manager, three managers of support functions responsible to the Emergency Response Manager, and supporting personnel as shown in Figure ll.This organization may be mo'dified during an emergency to better respond to the conditions of that emergency.

These contracts provide the capability of obtaining, on an expedited basis, additional support personnel; see paragraph 2.7.INPO serves as a clearinghouse for industry wide support during an emergency.
The Company is a signatory to the mutual assistance agreement development by INPO for utilities in the nuclear industry.the event of an 3.4 Conclusion In addition, the Plant Emergency Plan contains written agreements between the Company and others such as hospitals, ambulance squads, doctors, and local government agencies that may be required to provide support to the plant in emergency.
The above described emergency organization, facilities, communications, plans, and training activities have been designed by the Company to maintain a state of readiness that provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of an emergency.
3-5 4.0 Harris Lbit 1 Startu 4.1 Startu Or anization The Harris Startup Organization, which will be responsible for the startup of both Harris units, consists of 42 people, including a Manager-Startup and four Startup Supervisors, each of whom supervises the efforts of seven senior engineers and two engineering technicians.

Westin house Electric Cor oration Westinghouse provides onsite technical assistance to the Company during the installation, startup, testing, and initial operation of each nuclear steam supply system (NSSS).Westinghouse onsite personnel review and comment on NSSS preoperational test procedures to assure that test acceptance criteria and test objectives are appropriate and consistent with safe operation.
4.2 Harris Pre-Startu Pre arations As a result of the experience gained at Robinson and Brunswick, the Company is aware of the value of early pre startup planning for Harris Unit 1.Several management actions have been taken with the objective of effecting a smooth, orderly transition from construction through startup to operations:
aO The construction schedule reflects a consideration of plant startup requirements.
A Release for Test (RFT)schedule has been developed jointly by Startup, Engineering, and Construction which defines the sequence and timing of each RFT turnover to the Startup organization to support an orderly testing process.The various buildings and piping systems have been scheduled in a manner that will allow early startup involvement.
This will allow leveling the startup manpower requirements and will permit the startup and testing of the entire system to begin as early as practicable.
As equipment and systems are completed, they are transferred to the Company Startup Organization, which implements the testing program.This jurisdictional transfer consists of a series of formal system/component and facility/structures Release for Test until eventually all plant system/components and facility/structures have been formally released to the Startup Organization.
This transfer (RFT)only represents a transfer of jurisdiction and not a transfer of work responsibility that is normally performed by Nuclear Plant Construction Department (i.e., identified on plant design documents and punch lists).All work performed by the Nuclear Plant Construction Department after release to Startup will be performed in accordance with the Startup Manual.4-3 7390SNP A similar logic prevails with respect to the electrical portions of the plant.The construction schedule places emphasis on early completion of those portions of the common building which contain'he control room and the cable spread rooms.The intent is to construct these facilities as soon as possible in order to allow installation of the relay racks and control boards in the cable spread room and the control room.Again, releasing startup and test work as early as possible will provide the maximum amount of time for an orderly transition to the operating phase.b.Construction management action was also taken in a second area of scheduling in order to contribute to a smooth running RFT Program and startup of the plant.Facilities were provided at the Harris site to permit the Startup Organization to move to the site earlier than the norm, thus providing opportunity for the Startup Engineers to become involved in the day-to-day construction of the various system for which they are responsible.
This assignment of plant operating personnel will facilitate their becoming familiar with the plant and its systems while they write pre-operational and testing procedures and observe the construction in progress.The familiarity thus gained will simplify problems during turnover for startup.Co Definition of the boundaries of the RFT packages was started in 1979 so that, construction could maintain a continuing cognizance of the boundaries of the startup systems and the sequence in which the systems would be required to be completed and turned over to plant operations.
These boundaries allow construction to plan work on the systems needed first, and permits Quality Assurance personnel to collect, check, and package documentation in volumes that are grouped in anticipation of future RFTs.d.The organization at the Harris site has been structured such that there are fewer organizations involved in the RFT process as compared to our other nuclear plants.Therefore, the process of construction completion, construction checkout, QA checkout, and Release for Test to Startup flows through fewer organizations resulting in a better understanding and closer contact with the system being completed.
As individual systems or portions of systems are completed, the on site Corporate Quality Assurance/Quality Control Unit performs final system inspections.
Any nonconforming or incomplete work is identified and documented for resolution.
Subsequent inspections are performed to ensure proper resolution of nonconformances and incomplete work.Any outstanding work (i.e., incomplete work, nonconformance, etc.)is identified in the RFT package as exceptions.
The RFT package is then forwarded to the Startup Organization for acceptance.
The site Quality Assurance/Quality Control Unit will continue to provide Quality Assurance coverage for any further work (e.g., resolution of exceptions) performed by the Nuclear Plant Construction Department subsequent to RFT and provide QA/QC coverage for the testing, operation, and maintenance activities performed by the Nuclear Operations Department after RFT.4-4 7390SNP
As an aid in developing complete turnover packages, a Material Trackin S stem has been initiated for pipe spool, hanger, and electrical cable installation.
The purpose of this system is to track the completion status of these bulk items from the delivery phase through installation and Release for Test to the Startup group in a consistent and efficient manner.The objective of this system is to establish a common data base from which material status will be extracted by all functional groups, thus reducing the creation of duplicate files with their potential for inconsistent information.
Construction Control S stem-The concept of this module of the Material Tracking System consists of an on-line computerized system with a common data base from which engineering, construction, quality assurance, and operations (startup)can extract pertinent data relative to the status of material during the erection, inspection, testing, and RFT phases of the project.One major component of the Construction Control System is an RFT Tracking System which provides the status of systems for startup and testing.Additional components include: a.Startup work list-This component was implemented in 1982 and is the master punch list of remaining work on systems released to the Startup group for testing.The list is subdivided by system and includes all RFT exceptions, work items identified after RFT as result of testing, and design change issued after RFT.b.Field Change Request (FCR)/Design Change Notice (DCN)Tracking System-This system was implemented in 1983 and tracks the status of field initiated design changes.(FCRs and A/E initiated DCNs).The system also provides a cross reference between PCRs/DCNs and Release for Test boundaries to aid in completion systems for RPT.C~Mechanical Status Reporting System-This component of the Construction Control System was implemented in 1979.The system tracks the status of piping spools, hangers, restraints, and valves.It is currently being updated to track entire RFT packages and their related documents.
d.Electrical Status Reporting System-This component of the Construction Control System was approved and implemented in early 1981.This system tracks the status of cables, cable trays, conduit, and terminations.
it is also designed to interface with the A/E computerized Cable Routing System which produces raceway, cable pull, and cable termination cards.In September 1981, this system was converted to an on-line system.e.Welder Qualification System-This system, a manually operated system for monitoring welder qualification, has been in operation since the Construction Permit was received, and was computerized in 1980.It tracks the qualification status and performance of each welder on the SHNPP project, and alerts project management when qualifications on each welding procedure is subject to expire.4-5 7390SNP The Harris Startup Manual addresses the plant startup program.Startup includes the period from completion of construction (on a system or equipment basis)through the completion of the Power Test Program.There are two major periods of activity and two major areas of responsibility as follows: Construction Phase/CP&L Nuclear Plant Construction De artment Area of Jurisdiction:
A period that begins with receipt of equipment on site and ends with system/component releases to the Harris Startup Group.Initial Test Phase/CP6L Startu Grou Jurisdiction:
A period that commences with system/component release to the Startup Group and terminates with the completion of the Power Test Program.The Startup Manual, Section 5,"Construction Completion Activities," is used by the Nuclear Plant Construction Department as a guide in performing necessary checks prior to releasing the equipment to the Startup Group.The Startup Manual, Section'6, Construction/Startup Interface, describes in detail the interface procedures and controls used from initiation of RFT (Release for Test)from the Nuclear Plant Construction Department until a system is placed on the Operational Systems List after completion of testing.It should be understood that this transfer (Release for Test)only represents a transfer of jurisdiction and not a transfer of work responsibility that is normally performed by the Nuclear Plant Construction Department.
The significant point is that although work will be processed through and controlled by the cognizant Startup Engineer or Supervisor after release to Startup Group, the RFT exception work and any required modifications will be performed by construction forces already on the site.This approach along with several significant factors related to craft labor will allow the construction startup group to be adequately staffed.The significant craft labor factors which will exist during the startup period are: aO The peak requirement for mechanical and electrical crafts for Unit 1 will have passed.Since work will be winding down and the number of craftsmen reduced, the constructor will be in a position to retain those with higher skill levels.b.There will be a sizeable pool of workers from which to draw.Co The craftsmen devoted to the effort will be those who made the initial installation..
This familiarity of installation and site specific procedures, requirements, etc., will expedite the work.d.The twin-unit site offers additional advantages:
The pool of experienced manpower working on Unit 2 could be shifted to Unit 1 if unforeseen circumstances arise;2~With Unit 2 construction manpower requirements building up, as Unit 1 requirements decrease, we can offer continuous employment to qualified craftsmen and minimize the tendency for craftsmen to being looking for outside employment as Unit 1 winds down.4-6 7390SNP The startup of SHNPP Unit 1 will be the fourth nuclear unit on which Company professional and technical personnel have participated.
As we progress through construction, the expertise level of existing employees will rise and the addition of new employees will add to that experience level.Another advantage of the twin-unit plant is that the learning curve from Unit 1 to Unit 2 results in less demand on senior site personnel's time, allowing them to devote more of their time to startup support.Construction Plant Securit Duri Unit 1 0 erations Based on our experience during construction of Brunswick Unit 1 while Brunswick Unit 2 was operating, the SHNPP security plan has been formulated and is continuing to be reviewed and updated as necessary.
Details of the plan are designated safeguards information pursuant to 10 CFR 73.21 and require protection from unauthorized disclosure.
For these reasons, the following information pertaining to construction support of plant security does not address specific details of the plant security plan.When nuclear fuel is received for SHNPP Unit 1, portions of the plant security program will be implemented to provide necessary security.This plan will be administered by the Nuclear Operations Department and is anticipated to have minimal impact upon the Nuclear Plant Construction Department's activities directed toward completing final construction requirements and plant startup.The operating plant security plan will have a phased implementation process which covers the initial security for startup with increasing requirements until it meets the security needs for operating Unit 1.While construction forces are completing the work required to startup Unit 1, and at the same time continuing work on Unit 2, a construction security force will continue to be maintained on the plant site.This construction security force will continue to control the entrance and exit of construction personnel, equipment, and materials to and from the plant site in construction areas.Prior to receipt of the Operating License for Unit 1, the operational plant security organization will be trained and established in accordance with the provisions of the Operating License, and will have the following general responsibilities:
controlling all access to Unit 1 areas, monitoring alarm and surveillance systems, providing foot and vehicle patrol of protected and vital areas and the Owner Controlled Exclusion Area, and maintaining liaison with local law enforcement agencies.Construction supervision will cooperate with plant security forces as necessary to provide security orientations, briefings, and training to construction craft, craft supervision, and constxuction management personnel.
During the time when both construction security and plant security forces are on site, each force will have very specific duties with necessary coordination achieved between them.Construction forces will comply with applicable"Security Procedures" which are adopted for the operating plant.4-7 7390SNP
5.0 Additional
Information 5.1 Recruitin Pro ram The overall proposed staff for SHNPP is now estimated to be 700 plant personnel by the end of 1988.The anticipated buildup of this organization will extend over a ten-year period, as shown on Pigure 12.The necessity of a well developed, detailed, and productive recruiting program to accomplish this type of hiring program has been recognized.
In order to take advantage of the existing plants as training bases for the buildup of the Harris staff, beginning in 1979, personnel have been hired into the Harris organization but temporarily assigned to various operating plants for training purposes.At various times, these personnel or other trained personnel from those plants will be transferred to the Harris Plant organization on site.Details of this proposed program are described below.The Company has developed an aggressive recruiting program at colleges and universities.
During the academic" year 1982-1983, 25 visits were conducted at 20 colleges and universities.
In the academic year 1983-1984, visits have been scheduled at four-year engineering institutions.
In addition to visits at education institutions, naval bases will continue to be visited in 1984 in order to add to the complement of experienced nuclear personnel.
The Company is also seeking to recruit technician level personnel from technical schools and community colleges.In 1983, 26 community colleges and technical institutes were visited for recruiting purposes.The Company actively participates in programs designed to enhance the Company's image on two-year campuses.For example, in 1983, personnel participated in"caredr days" at the community colleges and technical institutes.
The Cooperative Education Program, established at eight four-year and six two-year institutions, and summer employment provide vocational training to students, and serves as a means of identifying potential employees.
Advertising on'the local and national levels in newspapers and professional/technical publications provide emphasis on recruiting engineering and technical personnel.
The Company's Wage and Salary Program is competitive with other utilities and industries on the local and national levels, which attracts entry level and experienced personnel for operating plants.An annual review is made of the Salary Program in order to reflect changes in the cost of living and other factors to keep the program competitive.
Entry level professional and technical salaries are evaluated twice annually and ad)ustments made over the first two-year period.With the recent reorganization in the Employee Relations Department, the Area Personnel Relations function at the Harris Plant has been reassigned to the Personnel Relations-Nuclear Plants Section.This unit will provide overall Personnel Relations supporting the recruitment of construction and operations personnel.
The unit will provide the onsite coordination of all recruitment activities at the Harris Nuclear Prospect.The Area Personnel Relations office at Harris will be involved in recruitment efforts at college campuses, 5-1 7390SNP 00 technical schools, and naval installations.
As a result, more attention will be focused on the recruiting efforts to provide a quicker response to filling a vacancy and to provide improved coordination with onsite managers and corporate recruiting.
College recruiting is an:on-going program designed to attract qualified college graduates for entry level engineering, technical, and professional non engineering positions.
From September 1982 to April 1983, Company recruiters have visited the following college and universities:
Mississippi State, Alabama, Kentucky, Pennsylvania State, North Carolina State, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnical, South Carolina, Clemson, Purdue, Memphis Sate, Duke, Florida, North Carolina Central, Georgia Tech., Tennessee, North Carolina A&T, St.Augustine,'and UNC at Wilmington.
Technical school and community college recruiting will assure the Company of a continuous supply of qualified technical graduates with at least two years of training.Schools in the following states are visited on a routine basis: North Carolina, South Carolina, Virigina, Tennessee, and Florida.In addition, the Company actively participates in programs designed to enhance the Company's image on two-year campuses.Some of these programs include: Industrial Workshop, Career Day, Job Fair, and Workshops for high school guidance counselors on career opportunities for two-year graduates.
The Company is deeply involved in locating, screening, and recruiting experienced personnel.
The advertising program includes publications such as Engineering News Record, Power Magazine, Nuclear News, IEEE Spectrum, ASME Publication, Navy Times, and other military newspapers.
Local newspapers are used whenever a supply of qualified personnel is made available due to industrial layoffs or job changes.The Company continuously encourages referrals by employees.
Particular emphasis is placed on engineering and technical personnel.
The Company is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and has a number of special programs designed to attract qualified minority, female, and handicapped personnel.
Staffin the Harris Plant Or anization The present and projected staffing level for the Harris Plant staff'is shown on Figure 12 and is based on an evaluation of the staff needs in con)unction with the startup schedule.Recruiting of personnel for the plant is already active as previously discussed and will continue on a schedule designed to ensure that personnel can be placed in training classes, training positions, or other positions of responsibility far enough in advance to ensure that sufficient numbers of qualified personnel are available to staff the Harris organization when needed to perform the required startup functions; develop the required operating, maintenance, and administrative procedures; operate and maintain systems following acceptance by startup personnel; and provide'for safe operation of the various units while other units are being completed or started up.5-2 7390SNP PRESIDENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER d CHAIRMAN EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT POWER SUPPLY d ENQINEERINQ d CONSTRUCTION GROUPS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT POVIER SUPPLY GROUP SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FUEL d MATERIALS MANAGEMENT GROUP SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT ENGINEERING d CONSTRUCTION GROUP VICE PRESIDENT CORPORATE NUCLEAR SAFETY d RESEACII DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT NUCLEAR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT FUEL DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT NUCLEAR PLANT CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PROJECT MANAGER CORPORATE QUALITY ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT MANAGER CORPORATE HEALTH PHYSICS GENERAL MANAGER HARRIS PLANT VICE PRESIDENT MATERIALS MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT VICE PRESIDENT NUCLEAR PLANT ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT GENERAL MANAGER BRUNSWICK PLANT MANAGER QUALITY ASSURANCE/

The first exception is the incomplete listing of the thermophysical properties of the passive heat sinks used in the analysis (see NRC Question 480.25).The second exception is the lack of demonstrated conservatism in the times assumed for post-LOCA initiation of the containment spray system and fan coolers (see NRC Question 480.26)~Based on the above, the staff cannot find acceptable the applicant's minimum containment pressure analysis for ECCS performance studies until the above concerns regarding the thermophysical properties of the passive heat sinks and the containment spray system and fan cooler initiation times have been satisfactorily resolved.This is an open item.The applicant's minimum containment presure analysis for performance capability studies on the ECCS required by Appendix K to 10 CFR 50 has also been reviewed and found acceptable except for two items for which additional information has been requested (see NRC Questions 480.25 and 480.26).~Res onse'hrough discussions with the NRC-CSB reviewer and the NRC consultant, the response for Question 480.25 was discussed and noted as being acceptable.
Therefore, the response to Question 480.25 resolves one of the two items of concern.With regards to the second item, please refer to the information provided in the response to Question 480.26.uestion 480.26 Justify the times assumed in the minimum containment pressure analysis for fastest post-LOCA initiation of the containment spray system and fan coolers (listed as 42.03 sec.and 32.30 sec., respectively, in FSAR Table 6.2.1-62)by giving a conservative account of the delay times associated with the sequence of events leading to full operation of the containment heat removal systems (e.g., signal process time, diesel starting time, sequencer delay time, breaker closing time, pump startup time, time to bring fans to the operational speed, valve opening time, and spray line fill-up time)., Also, verify that these start times are consistent with or conservative with respect to the worst single active failure assumed for the limiting case for the ECCS analysis (DECLG break, CD~0.4).(7544PSAlcv) 0 Res onse to uestion 480.26 FSAR Table 6.2.1-62 will be revis'ed to amend the containment spray and fan coolers start times.The fastest post-LOCA initiation of the Containment Spray System with loss of offsite power is 42.94 seconds and the fastest post-LOCA initiation of the fan coolers with loss of offsite power is 21.62 seconds.Table I provides a break down of the times used to calculate the containment spray actuation time and the fan coolers to reach full speed time.These times are calculated by considering a conservative account of minimum delay times associated with the sequence of events leading to full operation of the Containment Heat Removal System.FSAR Section 6.2.1.5.4 will be revised in a future amendment to reflect the above information.

~Res ense The following information describes the instrumentation utilized for monitoring ICC and is organized per NUREG-0737, Item II.F.2"Documentation Required." Information utilized to give the operator an advance warning of the approach to ICC and to monitor the recovery from ICC, if it occurs, is obtained via a qualified instrumentation package.The information is obtained by the use of the Reactor Vessel Level Indicating System (RVLIS)and core exit thermocouples.
The RVLIS is a fully qualified and redundant system for monitoring water inventory in the reactor vessel.Each of the two channels provide differential pressure cells and transmitters for narrow and wide range monitoring over the full length of the vessel, with the reactor coolant pumps off (natural circulation) and on respectively.
Additionally, narrow range monitoring is provided for each channel of the upper plenum during natural circulation.
Each channel's microprocessor utilizes these D/P signals in conjunction with other inputs such as RCS pressure, RCS temperature (loop RTD's or incore thermocouples), and RVLIS reference leg temperature sensors, to compensate for density changes in the system reference legs so as to provide direct water level readings available for operator use.These water level readings will be displayed by redundant, qualified, alpha/numeric displays in the control room.Incore thermocouples are utilized to determine core exit temperature.
These 51 thermocouples outputs will be data li.nked to the ERFIS computer system for primary display on the SPDS CRT located on the MCB.Additionally, the thermocouple outputs are transmitted to a back up display in the control room.The display has a number of switches for selection based upon thermocouple identification and location core map.The input to the ERFIS computer will also be used to determine the margin of saturation which can be displayed on demand on the SPDS CRT or continuously on a strip chart recorder.The operator can also use Hain Control Room display information in conjunction with steam tables to determine the margin to saturation.
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Draft SER 0 en Item 31 (Cont'd)~Res onse (cont'd)(2)Design analysis and an evaluation of instruments to monitor water level, and available test data to support the design described in item 1 above may be found in NUREG CR-2628 regarding the Westinghouse design (RVLIS)~(3)A description of test programs conducted for evaluation and qualification of the RVLIS was provided in NUREG CR-2628.For qualification of the thermocouples, see item (4)below.Although the system sensors and microprocessors are not directly testable at power for calibration, the calculated parameter of margin to saturation can be readily verified at power through use of the steam tables and observation of the independent indications of pressure and temperature.
These observations should show higher margin to saturation since the system uses conservatively auctioneered values.An evaluation on the conformance of ICC instrumentation to item II.F.2 Attachment 1 and NUREG 0737 Appendix 8 is provided in NUREG CR-2628 for the RVLIS.RVLIS meets the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.97.Technical Specifications will be prepared for the instrumentation specifically installed for the detection of inadequate core cooling.The Technical Specifications will be prepared considering the recommendation of NRC's Standard Technical Specifications (STS's)for Westinghouse PWR's (Rev.4)~CPSL is currently reviewing the Technical Specifications in Chapter 16.0 of the FSAR in view of the recommendations of Revision 4 of the Westinghouse STS;a revision of the Technical Specifications will be submitted to the NRC in the second quarter of 1984.The thermocouples meet the intent of design criteria outlined in XI.F.2 Attachment 1 as indicated below: '.l Thermocouples utilized for the core exit for each core quadrant (in conjunction with core inlet temperature data)are sufficient to provide indication of radial distribution of the coolant enthalpy (temperature) rise across representative regions of the core.A.2 The primary display has the following capabilities: (a)A spatially oriented core map indicating the temperature or temperature difference across the core (at each thermocouple location)is displayed on the CRT.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP)Draft Safety Evaluation Report (DSER)Core Performance Branch 0 en Item 313 (NRC letter dated March 24 1983)Table 15.6.5-2 of the SHNPP Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)gives a value for the F used in loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA)analysis.Section 4.3 of the FSAR (3hich should discuss all aspects of all power distributions used in Chapter 15 analyses, including in particular the power peaking factors used to satisfy LOCA analysis requirements) does not mention such a value.Instead Section 4.3 presents only the standard Westinghouse discussions demonstrating that an F~value of 2.32 can be maintained, using the standard Westinghouse CAOC (with improved load follow)analysis, control and excore (split detector)surveillance.
The only conclusion that one can draw from this information, as it stands, is that it will be necessary to derate the reactor to 91 percent power.If there is an alternate power distribution analysis, control scheme or surveillance system to be used with your reactor operations which will demonstrate that an F of 2.11 can be maintained, please modify paction 4.3 (and other indications o pn and peak kp/it such as Table 4.1)to present this new limit, and a discussidn in detail of the modifications involved to hardware, analyses and operations, including a full uncertainty analysis.Topical report's may be submitted and referenced, but modifications to Chapter 4 (and possible Chapter 7)are required.'Res onse Accident analyses for SHNPP are presented in Chapter 15 of the FSAR.The results of these analyses determined a limiting value of total peaking factor, F , of 2.11 under normal operation, including load following maneuvers.
This value is derived from the conditions necessary to satisfy the limiting conditions specified in the LOCA analyses of FSAR Section 15.6.5.As noted in FSAR Section 4.3.2, an upper bound envelope of F x Power equal to 2.32 x K(Z), as shown in FSAR Figure 4.3.2-21, results from operation in accordance with Constant Axial Offset Control procedures using ex-core surveillance only.Since SHNPP is limited to an F of 2.11, the Technical Specifications will require extra surveillance in the power regime above 90%RTP (sm~2'11 This extra surveillance will be obtained by use of the Axial Power 2 F 32 Distribution Honitoring System (APDNS)to be described in a topical report to be issued.The surveillance of the core hot channel factors, in accordance with the above, is presented in FSAR Section 3.2.6 of the SHNPP Technical Specification.
The APMS is a surveillance tool to verify compliance with limits of F (Z).This system utilizes a four section excore detector (which has been calibrated and normalized) to provide on-line real-time monitoring of F (Z), This system provides audible and visual alarms when a predetermined APING alarm setpoint and power distribution are exceeded.Core scanning is initiated by exceeding.a power range setting, by exceeding a control rod step dead band, or manually.It is anticipated that future analyses will permit a rise in the F limit to 2.32 or greater.This rise in the limit will eliminate the need tP operate the APDMS.(7215PSAkj r)

o how the system operates o expected input streams, their volumes, and associated activities o liquid and gaseous effluents resulting from system operation o volume reduction factors achieved o activity associated with the disposable ash o conformance with RGs 8.8, 1.140, and 1.143, and BTP CMEB 9.5-1 (SRP 9.5.1)~Res'ese The Volume Reduction System processes liquid wastes to free-flowing, anhydrous, radioactive salts via water evaporation in a heated, fluidized bed.This system is represented by the system described in previously-approved Aero)et Topical Report No.AECC-1-A dated February 21, 1975, with the following exceptions:
1.The fluid bed dryer was incr'eased from 24 to 30 inches to allow for a higher processing rate.2~s The scrubber/condenser units are separated to provide cleaner condensate overflow which is recycled to the Floor Drain Treatment System (refer to FSAR Section 11.2.2.1).
Also, the scrubber utilizes feed solution as the scrubbing liquid, therefore creating a worst case efficiency of 99.86%based on feed input to waste return.The scrubber now is designed to automatically control the solids content of the scrubber liquid to 28%solids, which is fed to the fluid bed dryer.This eliminates critical control on upstream evaporators, which can increase the VRS feed rate up to 80 gph.3.The Liquid Heat Exchanger for the condenser was replaced with condenser tubes to allow more efficient use of cooling water since it eliminated the loss of pressure by two-fold indirect heat exchange.
4.The Aerojet Energy Conversion Company (AECC)designed charcoal adsorber was replaced by an 11/2 inch-thick nuclear grade (HSA design)commercial unit to improve radioiodine entrapment, process life, and reliability.
5.Two additional HEPA filters were added to the fluidizing air line to the fluid bed dryer.This will prevent buildup of dust in the windbox and distributor plate, thus reducing problems with dust buildup and decontamination requirements 6.A detailed breakdown of components and design standards is shown in Tables H through K.II.S stem Desi n Features The Volume Reduction System as described in FSAR Section 11.4.2.1.2 is designed to the guidelines of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.143, Rev.1, 1979 with components code requirements and material selection presented in Tables H through K.The VRS design is consistent with the guidelines set forth in Regulatory Guide 8.8 so as to achieve"As-Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA)occupational exposure.The general arrangement of the VRS hardware utilizes individually shielded cubicles to separate components containing the majority of the radioactive material from mechanical components such as the pumps and blowers, which contain small amounts of radioactive material an'd which are expected to require periodic maintenance.
In addition, the components containing the majority of the radioactive material can be decontaminated and the radioactive salts can be flushed from the system components prior to performing maintenance.
Fire protection considerations are detailed in FSAR Section 9.5.1 (including conformance to BTP CHEB 9.5-1)~CP&L conformance to Regulatory Guide 1'40 is stated in FSAR Section 1.8.Conformance to other regulatory bases and guides are included in Topical Report No.AECC-1-A dated February 21, 1975.III.Influent Waste Streams The VRS will process liquid radioactive wastes from, the following sources: a.Backwashed sludges from filters on liquid waste process streams.b.Waste evaporator concentrates.
c.R.O.concentrate evaporator concentrates.
d.Secondary waste evaporator concentrates.
e.Boron recycle evaporator concentrates.
The expected input volumes and associated activities are shown in attached Tables A through E, which are expressed for two-unit operation.
Figure 1 shows the process flow diagram and material balance.FSAR Tables 11.4.1-2 through 11.4.1-7 will be revised in a future amendment to the FSAR.All input streams to the VRS are sent to the VRS feed tanks (dual 5,000 gal.presolidification tanks)where they are pH adjusted.XV.Li uid Effluent Streams During operation of the VRS, condensate overflow (1 gpm)from the condenser is recycled to the Floor Drain Treatment System (see FSAR Section 11.2.2.1 and FSAR Figure 11.2.2-4).
The dissolved solids content in the overflow is 200 ppm and the suspended solids content essentially nil.Since the average dissolved content of the feed stream is expected to be 110,000 ppm, the activity"in the overflow can be calculated by multiplying the feed stream activity by (200/110,000) or 1.8 x 10.From Figure 1, the condenser overflow volume of 4.24 x 10 kg/yr will be treated by the Floor Drain Treatment System.This system provides for treatment via a reverse osmosis unit followed by a cation demineralizer.
This stream is then sent to the Waste Monitor Tanks where it is sampled and monitored through Radiation Monitor REM-1WV-3541 prior to release.Figure 1 also shows 7.8 x 10 kg/yr of water to be processed through the etch disk filter.This water source is the carrying water from the 38 backflushable filters (17 types)throughout the plant when the filters are backflushed and is sent to the Fquipment Drain Treatment System.The activity of this water is a weighted average of the dissolved radionuclide concentration in each of the 17 types of filters as shown in attached Tables D and E.This stream is processed through the Equipment Drain Treatment System and sent to the Waste Monitor Tanks where it is sampled and monitored through Radiation Monitor REM-lWV-3541 prior to release.The annual release of radionuclides to the environment due to operation of the VRS is shown in the attached Table F.V.Gaseous Effluent Stream Figure 1 indicates that the exhaust gases will come off the condenser and be recycled serving as the fluidizing air to the fluid bed dryer system.A small portion (about 6%)of the recycled stream will be routed to the VRS air cleaning units.These air cleaning units consist of two parallel trains, each consisting of a pre-HEPA filter, charcoal adsorber, and HEPA filter in series.After processing through the VRS air cleaning units, the gas is monitored by Radiation Monitor REM-1WV-3551 (see FSAR Figure 9.4.3-5).The gas then enters the Waste Processing Building exhaust header where it is refiltered by parallel trains, each consisting of a pre-HEPA filter, charcoal adsorber, and HEPA filter before entering the WPB Exhaust Stack 85.Here, it is again monitored, this time by Radiation Monitor REM-1WV-3546 before being exhausted to the atmosphere (see FSAR Figure 9.4.3-8).Total decontamina)ion factors from input to t)e VRS until exhaust to the environment are 1 x 10 for radioiodines and 1 x 10 for all others.Using this, the annual release of radionuclides to the environment due to operation of the VRS is shown in the attached Table G.VI.Volume Reduction Factors The volume reduction factor achieved will vary with the input stream concentration.
The process procedure will ensure that the feed stream will remain above 10%solids;therefore, the expected volume reduction factor will be approximately eight.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Draft Safety Evaluation Report (DSER)0 en Item 179 (DSER Section 11.5-2 Page 11-27)Question Provide an effluent monitor for the Turbine Building vents (release points 3A and 3B)as required by Table 1 of SRP 11.5 and provide for sampling.~Res oese The plant airborne effluent release points are shown on Figure 9.4.0-2 and listed on Table 9.4.0-2.As shown on FSAR Table 12.2.2-2, the Turbine Building Areas shall have negligible airborne concentrations and consequently do not significantly enhance'airborne radioactive releases.The ventilation of the various turbine building areas and process systems is shown on Figure 9.4.4-1.The ventilation exhaust for these areas and systems is to the turbine building vent, release points 3A and 38.The only radioactive system discharging to this common vent stack is the condenser vacuum pump.The condenser evacuation system is described in Section 10.4.2 and shown on Figure 10.1.0-4.The exhaust and the effluent treatment system is shown on Figure 9.4.4-1, which will be revised to show radiation monitoring system RE-1TV-3534-1, RE-1TV-3534-2, and RM-1TV-3534-1, for Unit 1, monitoring the exhaust prior to release to release point 3A and monitoring system RE-2TV-3534-1, RE-2TV-3534-2, and RM-2TV-3534-1,'for Unit 2, monitoring the exhaust prior to release to release point 38.The condenser vacuum pump effluent treatment system is described in Section 9.4.4.2.4 and the condenser vacuum pump effluent monitors will be described in revised Section 11~5.2.7.2.9.The gland seal condenser system is described in Section 10.4.3 and shown on Figures 10.1.0-4 and 1.2.2-71, and includes indication of the system's effluent exhaust location, release point 3E for Unit 1 and release point 3F for Unit 2.These effluent exhausts are monitored by radiation monitors REM-1AE-3536 (Uni.t 1)and REM-2AE-3536 (Uni,t 2)which will be shown on revised Figure 10.1.0-4, and will be described in new Section 11.5.2.7.2.18.(These are existing monitors REM-1TV-3534 and REM"2TV-3534, shown on Figure 9.4.4-1, whose designations will change to REM-1AE-3536 and REM-2AE-3536, respectively.)
During hogging, the condenser vacuum pumps discharge to the atmosphere via a short pipe vent, line number 7AE12-19<<1 with a valve 7AE-B9"1, which during hogging provides another potential release point identified as release points 3C and 3D.Sampling capability for the effluent exhaust streams of the condenser vacuum pump and gland steam condenser is provided on the effluent stream off-line monitors as described in Section 11.5.2.These off-line monitors provide sample points for obtaining grab samples for radiological analysis in the radiochemistry facility described in Section 12.5.FSAR Figure 9.4.0-2 will be revised to indicate the release points for the gland seal condenser effluent exhaust and the hogging vent for the condenser vacuum pumps discharge.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Draft Safety Evaluation Report (DSER)0 en Item 1S1 (DSER Section 11.5.2 Pa e 11-27)0 en Item 229 (DSER Section 11.5.2 Pa e 11-30)Question 0 en Item No.181 The service water system does not possess the capability to obtain a continuous sample as required by Table 2 of SRP 1 1.5.0 en Item No.229 Revise Table 9.3.2-2, Figure 9.3.2-2 and Section 9.3.2.2.2 to reflect grab sampling of the service water system.~Res esse The service water system is described in Section 9.2.1 and shown on Figures 9.2.1-1 and 9.2.1-2.Normal service water is used to cool both the safety and non-safety grade containment fan coolers during normal operation.
The non-safety grade containment fan coolers are not used and are isolated during accident conditions where radiation may be present.The discharged service water from the emergency fan coolers are monitored by radiation monitors discussed in Section 11.5.2.7.2.
1 during normal and emergency operation as shown on Figure 9.2.1-1.The recommended sampling of the service water is provided as required by SRP 11.5.As required by SRP 11.5 Table 2, the service water is grab sampled at the liquid monitor location as shown on CAR-2165-G-105 and discussed in Section 11.5.2.6.2.
The radiation monitor location is shown on Figure 9.2.1-1.The liquid monitors have sample connections for obtaining representative grab samples of the service water for analysis in the radiochemistry facility.The service water return headers A and B, lines 3SW30-25SA-1, 3SW30-146SB-1 shown on drawing CAR-2165-G-047, Figure 9.2.1-1, will be provided with sample taps for representative periodic automatic grab samples via two collection vessels.The sampling system will be designed to.include the appropriate components to collect a fixed volume of sample at a rate proportional to the flow in the sample stream to be discharged.
Sample vessels will be analyzed in the radiochemistry facility.This sample system meets the requirements of SRP 11.5 for continuous sampling as required by SRP 11.5 Table 2.The service water is to be sampled at a point downstream of all potentially radioactive inputs and prior to discharge.

Power Systems Branch/0.Chopra Open It em 344
OPEN ITEN 344 ORIGINAL QUESTION 430.90 It is not apparent from the information presented in Section 8.2 of ,the FSAR that the design of the on-site power systems and the switchyaxd components meets the requirements of GDC-18,"Inspection and Testing of Electric Power Systems." Describe in more detail this aspect of the design.In particular, describe the capability for testing transfer of power from the unit auxiliary transformers to the start-up transformers (and vice versa)during plant operation.
RESPONSE: The generator lockout relay trip initiates the transfer of power from the auxiliary to the start-up transformers.
Westinghouse flexitest switches have been incorporated into each lockout relay's circuitry to provide the capability for testing the relay during plant operation.
The flexitest can be opened for the required trip blocks, and the generator lockout relay can be manually tripped.This action will initiate the automatic fast transfer between the auxiliary and the start-up transformers.
The generator lockout relay can then be reset and the flexitest switches closed, after which manual transfer from start-up to auxiliary transformers may be initiated.
There is no automatic transfer from the start-up to the auxiliary transformers.

The system is capable of venting half of the RCS volume (gas)in approximately one (1)hour.3~The design temperature and pressure of the piping, valves and components in the vent system are as follows: Design Pressure Design Temperature 2485 psig 650'F and 680'F The piping and component material used up to and including the second isolation valves are as follows: Piping Flange Valve-Body-Bonnet Disc~ASNE SA-376 TP304 or TP316 Seamless AS'A-182 Gr.F316 ASNE SA-182 Type F316 L ASHE SA-479 Type 316 ASt4E SA-564 Gr.630 All materials selected are compatible with reactor coolant chemistry and will be fabricated and tested in accordance with SRP Section 5.2.3"Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Materials." 4~The RCS vent system is designed to preclude failures that may prevent the essential operation of safety-related systems required for safe reactor shutdown or mitigation of the consequences of a design basis accident: a)All essential portions of the RCS vent system are seismic Category I.b)All essential systems required for safe shutdown or mitigation of the consequences of a design basis accident are protected against postulated missiles as described in FSAR Section 3.5.The effect from RCS Vent system component failures is considered.
0 en Item 47 Res onse (Continued) c)The RCS vent'ystem does not have piping greater than one-inch nominal size.d)Fluid sprays from RCS vent system component failures in the normally pressurized portion will not affect tne essential operation of safety related systems required for safe shutdown or mitigation of the consequences of a design basis accident.5.Table I shows a failure mode and effects analysis for the RCS vent system.The RCS vent path to containment is loc'ated in-the lower elevation of the containment building.There is no safety related system and/or component located in the vicinity of the discharge point.The area is well ventilated and communicates with the upper space of the containment building, thus, providing good mixing with containment air and prevent accumulation or pocketing of high concentration of hydrogen.7.The RCS vent system valves will be tested in accordance with ASNE Section XI, Subs IWV, for Category B valves (reference NUREG 0737, Item.1, Clarification A.(II)).The testing frequency may be educed during cold shutdown.8.SHNPP is currently revising its Technical Specifications (FSAR Chapter 16).This revision will consider the recommendations of Revision 4 to the NRC's Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Plants.It will also address the appropriate specifications for the RCS High Point Vent System.SHNPP's revised Technical Specifications will be submitted to the NRC during the second quarter of 1984.9.SHNPP's Fmergency Operating Procedures (EOPs)will be based on the Westinghouse Owner's Group (WOG)Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGs).In plant procedure FRP-I.3, entitled"Response to Voids in Reactor Vessel," guidance will be provided for using the RCS vent system, and the following information will be included: a)Entry conditions (through the use-of Critical Safety Function Status trees);b)Consideration of containment hydrogen concentration in determining when and how long to vent the Reactor Vessel Head;c)Reference to instrumentation used to detect and control upper head voiding;d)Guidance for the Control Operator on the use of the Reactor Vessel Head Vent System.

In addition, the EOPs for Inadequate Core Cooling (ICC)will provide methods other than the RCS venting to assure that decay heat is removed from the core (i.e., RCP operation and primary feed/bleed).
The EOP network will be reviewed to see if additional operator guidance is needed in detailing the methods for determining the size and location of a noncondensible gas bubble.10.The location of the control instrumentation in the,lfain Control Room required for system operation or testing of the RCS vent system have been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of NUREG-0737 Item 1.D.l,"Control Room Design Review." The SHNPP FSAR will be amended to reflect this information.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP)Draft Safety Evaluation Report (DSER)Reactor Systems Branch 0 en Item 49 (DSER Section 5.4.7.5, page 5-26)Address the requirements of BTP 5-1 and demonstrate that suitable plant systems and procedures are available to place the plant in a cold shutdown condition, with only offsite or onsite power available, within a reasonable period of time following shutdown, assuming the most limiting single failure.~Res oose The SHNPP's cold shutdown methodology per the requirements of SRP 5.4.7 is as follows: I~ACHIEVING COLD SHUTDOWN The plant has been evaluated to demonstrate actions needed to achieve cold shutdown conditions following a safe shutdown earthquake, loss-of-offsite power, and the most limiting single failure.To achieve and maintain cold shutdown, the following key functions must be performed:
1)residual heat removal, 2)boration and inventory control, and 3)depressurization.
1.Residual Heat Removal The function of residual heat removal is performed in two stages to accomplish the cooldown to cold shutdown.The first stage is cooldown from operating temperature to 350'F.During this stage, circulation of the reactor coolant is provided by natural circulation with the reactor core as the heat source and the steam generators as the heat sink.Steam is initially released via the 1fain Steam relief and safety valves.This occurs automatically as a result of turbine and reactor trip.Steam release for cooldown occurs via the Hain Steam power-operated atmospheric relief valves.As the cooldown proceeds, the operator adjusts the amount of steam dump to permit a reasonable cooldown rate.Feedwater makeup may be provided by the auxiliary feedwater system during loss of power or accident conditions.
The Hain Steam power operated relief valves (PORV's)are Safety Class 2, seismic Category I and seismically and environmentally qualified.
The Applicant has reviewed the arrangement and has determined the most limiting single failure to be the loss of a division of electrical power which renders the components of that division inoperable.
However, even with such a failure, two Steam Generators are available for cooldown of the plant to the conditions needed to allow initiation of the Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS)(i.e., approximately 350'F and 425 psig).
0 en Item 49 Res onse (Continued)
For more information on the ifain Steam System see FSAR Section 10.3.The Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFWS)is Safety Class 2, seismic Category I and seismically and environmentally qualified.
The AFWS is comprised of two separate subsystems with sufficient alignment capability and flow capacity to ensure that sufficient water can always be provided to any combination of the three steam generators.
The first subsystem is comprised of two motor-driven pumps, one is controlled and powered from the Emergency A Bus and the other is controlled and powered from the Fmergency B Bus.The second system is comprised of a turbine-driven pump controlled from the Emergency DC B Bus and is powered by steam supplied from Steam Generators B and/or C.Any one of the three AFW pumps can supply sufficient flow for cooldown of the plant.For more information on the AFWS see Section 10.4.9.The second stage is from 350'F to cold shutdown.During this stage, the RHRS is brought into operation.
Circulation of the reactor coolant is provided by the RHR pumps, and the heat exchangers in the RHRS act as the means of heat removal from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS).In the RHR heat exchangers, the residual heat is transferred to the Component Cooling Water System (CCWS)which then transfers the heat to the Service Water System (SWS)with final heat rejection to the Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS)~The RHRS, CCWS and the SWS are safety grade, seismic Category I with redundant trains powered from the Emergency A Bus and the Emergency B Bus.Further information on these systems can be found in FSAR Sections 5.4.7 (RHRS), 9.2.1 (SWS), 9.2.2 (CCWS)and 9.2.5 (UHS).2~Boration and Inventor Control Boration is accomplished using portions of the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS).The boric acid transfer pumps supply four weight percent boric acid from the boric acid tanks to the suction of the centrifugal charging pumps which inject the borated water into the RCS via the normal charging and/or reactor coolant pump seal injection flow paths.Hakeup in excess of that required for boration can be provided from the Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST)using the centrifugal charging pumps and the same injection flow paths as described for boration.Two motor-operated valves, one powered from Emergency A Bus, the other from Emergency B Bus and connected in parallel, transfer the suction of the charging pumps to the RWST.The CVCS is Safety Class 2 and 3, seismic Category I and seismically and environmentally qualified.
For additional information refer to FSAR Section 9.3.4.3~De ressurization Depressurization is accomplished using portions of the CVCS.Either four weight percent boric acid or refueling water can be used as desired for depressurization with the flow path heing from the centrifugal charging pumps to the auxiliary spray valve to the pressurizer.
0 en Item 49 Res onse (Continued)
As an alternative, depressurization could be accomplished, by discharging RCS inventory from the pressurizer to containment via the pressurizer power-operated relief valves.This operation can be integrated with the cooldown function near the end of the cooldown to 350'F.As RCS inventory is relieved to the containment, the pressurizer temperature and pressure is reduced, thus reducing the pressure in the RCS.Makeup is provided as necessary to maintain a minimum level in the pressurizer.
II.SINGLE FAILURE EVALUATION 1.Residual Heat Removal A.From Hot Standby to 350'F Reactor coolant loops and steam generator-Three reactor coolant loops and steam generators are provided, any one of which can provide natural circulation flow for adequate core cooling.Even with the most limiting single failure, two of the reactor coolant loops and steam generators remain available.
Main Steam PORV's-Three valves are provided (one per generator)
.Auxiliary feedwater pumps-Three (two motor-driven and one steam-driven) auxiliary feedwater pumps are provided.Each pump can provide sufficient cooling water to any combination of steam generators.
Auxiliary feedwater flow control valves-Electro hydraulic operated, fail open valves are provided.In the event of a single failure of one flow control valve (which affects flow to one steam generator from either a motor-driven pump or the steam-driven pump), auxiliary feedwater can stall be provided to any combination of steam generators from the other pumps.Condensate storage tank-Upon depletion of the primary source of auxiliary feedwater in the seismic Category I condensate storage tank, a backup source of auxiliary feedwater is the UHS via either train of the SWS.B.From 350'F to Cold Shutdown RHR Pumps 1 and 2-Two RHR pumps are provided, either one of which can provide adequate circulation of the reactor coolant.In the event of a single failure, either pump can provide sufficient RHR flow.
0 en Item 49 Res onse (Continued)
RHR Suction Isolation Valves 8701A and 8702A (to RHR Pump 1)and 8701B and 8702B (to RHR Pump 2)-The two valves in each RHR ,subsystem are each powered from different emergency busses (8701A and 8701B from A bus;and 8702A and 8702B from B bus).Failure of either emergency bus can prevent initiation of RHR cooling in the normal manner from the control room.In the event of such a failure, the affected valve(s)can be deenergized and opened with its handwheel or can be opened using alternate power via operator action outside of the control room.Therefore, any single failure can be tolerated since it would only affect one of the two redundant RHR subsystems.
RHR Heat Exchangers 1 and 2-If either heat exchanger is unavailable for any reason, the remaining heat exchanger can provide sufficient heat removal capability.
RHR Flow Control Valves HCV-603A and HCV-6038-If either of these normally open, fail open valves closes spuriously, sufficient RHR cooling can be provided by the unaffected RHR subsystem.
RHR/Safety Injection System Cold Leg Isolation Valves 8888A and 8888B-If either of these normally open, motor-operated valves (each is powered from a different emergency bus)closes spuriously, sufficient RHR cooling can be provided by the unaffected RHR subsystem.
Component Cooling Water System-Two redundant subsystems are provided for safety-related loads.Either subsystem can provide sufficient heat removal via one of the RHR heat exchangers.
Service Water System-Two redundant subsystems are provided for safety-related loads.Either subsystem can provide sufficient heat removal via one of the component cooling water system heat exchangers.
2.Boration and Inventor Control Boric Acid Tanks 1 and 2-Two boric acid tanks are provided.Each tank contains sufficient four weight percent boric acid to borate the RCS for cold shutdown.Boric Acid Transfer Pumps 1 and 2-Each pump is powered from a different emergency bus.In the event of a single failure, either pump can provide sufficient boric acid flow.Isolation Valve 8104-If valve 8104 (located between the boric acid transfer pump discharge and the CVCS centrifugal charging pump suction), which is supplied from the Emergency B Bus and is normally closed, cannot be opened due to bus or operator failure, it can be
0 en Item 49 Res onse (Continued) opened locally with its handwheel.
If valve 8104 cannot be opened with its handwheel, an alternate flow path is available via air-operated, fail open valve FCV-113 and normally closed manual valve 8439.Refueling (later Storage Tank Isolation Valves LCV-11SA and LCV-11SB-Each valve is powered from a different emergency bus;only one of these normally closed motor-operated valves needs to be opened to provide a makeup flow path from the RUST to the CVCS centrifugal charging pumps.Centrifugal Charging Pumps A, B, and C-Pump A is powered from the Emergency A Bus, pump B is powered from the Emergency B Bus, and pump C can be powered from either emergency bus (see FSAR Subsection 8.3.1.1.2.4).
In the event of a single failure, any one pump can provide sufficient boration or makeup flow.Flow Control Valve FCV-122-This valve (located on the CVCS centrifugal charging pump discharge) is normally open and fails open on loss of air.If FCV-122 closes spuriously, the CVCS centrifugal charging pumps can safely operate on their miniflow circuits.Efforts would be made to open it or its manual bypass valve (8403)can be opened.Boration can be accomplished by realigning the CVCS centrifugal charging pumps discharge in order to use the boron injection or SIS high-head injection in flow path.informal Charging Isolation Valves 8107 and 8108-If either of these normally open, motor-operated valves, each of which is powered from a different emergency bus, closes spuriously, operator action can he used to deenergize the valve operator and reopen the valve with its handwheel.
Boration can be accomplished by realigning the CVCS centrifugal cha1ging pumps discharge in order to use the boron injection tank on the SIS nigh-head injection flow path.Normal Charging Valve 8146-If this normally open, fail open valve closes spuriously, alternate charging valve 8147, which fails open, can be used.Boration can be accomplished by realigning the CVCS centrifugal charging pumps discharge in order to use the boron injection tank on the SIS high-head injection flow path.'~De ressurization Pressurizer Auxiliary Spray Valve 8145-This normally closed valve fails closed on loss of air.In this case, 8145 can be opened by using a portable nitrogen bottle.If 8145 is stuck closed as a result of a single failure, the pressurizer power-operated relief valves can be used to depressurize the RCS by discharging the pressurizer inventory to the pressurizer relief tank.
0 en Item 49 Res onse (Continued)
Charging Valves 8146 and 8147-These valves fail open on loss of air.In this case, isolation is provided by two check valves in series with 8347 and 8378 or 8346 and 8379 respectively.
RHR Suction Valves 8701A, 8702A and 87028-See Section II.I.B above.(7536PSAccc)

NUREC-0800 CUIDFLINFS CONFO'RNA'NCR A.INTRODUCTION General Desfgn Criterion 3,"Fire Protection" of Appendix A,"General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50,"Wccnsfng of Production and Utllizatlon Facilities," rcqufres that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed und located to mlnlmlre, consistent with other safety requirements, tne probability and effect of fires end exploslons.
Noncombustible and heat-resistant materials src required to be used wherever practical throughout the unit, particularly in locations such as the containment end control room~Criterion 3 also requires that fire detection and suppression systems of appropriate capacity and capability be provided and designed to minimize thc adverse effect of fires on structures, systems, and components important to safety end that fireflghtlng systems be designed to ensure that their Eailure, rupture or inadvertent operation docs not significantly impair the safety capability of these structures, systems'nd components.
Followed ln design This Branch Tcchnical Position (BTP)presents guidelines acceptable to the NRC staff Eor implementing this criterion ln the development oE e Eire protection program Eor nuclear power plants.These revised guidelines include the acceptance criteria listed ln e number of documents, including Appendfx R to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 50, end S0.48.The purpose of the fire protection program ls to ensure the capability to shut down the reactor and maintain ft In a safe shutdown condition und to minimize radioactive releases to the environment ln the event of e fire.It implements the philosophy oE defense-ln-depth prvtcctlon agufnit'he hazards of fire snd its associated effects on safety-related equipment.
If designs or methods different from tNe guldellncs recommended herein are used, they must provide equivalent Eire protection.
Suitable bases and gustfffcatfon should be provided for alternatlvc approaches to establfeh acceptable Implementation of General Design Criterion 3.Followed in design This BTP addresses fire protection programs for safety-related systems and equfpmcnt and for other plant areas containing fire hazards that could adversely affect safety-related systems.It does not give guidance for protecting the life or safety of the site personnel or for protection against economic or property loss.This document supplements Regulatory Cu!tc 1.7S,"Physical Independence of Electrical Systems," fn determining the Efre protection for redundant cubic systems.Followed in design B.DISCUSSION There have been numerous fires in operating U.S.nuclear power.plants through December 1975 of which 32 were important enough to rcport.Of these, the Eire on Harch 22, 1975 et Browne Ferry nuclear plant was the most severe.With approximately 250 operating reactor years of experience, one may infer a frequency on the order of one fire per 10 reactor years.Thus, on the average, a nuclear power plant may experience one or more ffrcs of varying scvcrlty durinF ltu operating liEe.Alihouph MASN-1400,"Reactor Safety Study-An ussessmcnt of Accident Risks ln U.S.Commercial Nuclear Power Plants," dated October 1975~concluded that thc Drowns Ferry fire did not af[ect the vaf ldlty nf flu.overall risk asuessmcnt, the stuff concluded that cost-oflectlvc fire protection meu,:urea should bc instituted tu algol fluently decrease thc frequency und NURKC-OBUU CUIDKLINFS COHFORHANCK severity of fires and consequently initiated the development of this.BEP.In this development, the staff made use of many national standards and other publications related to fire protection.
Thc documents discussed belou vere particularly useful.A document entitled"The International Guidelines for the Fire Protection of Nuclear Pover Plants" (ICL), I974 Edition, Second Reprint~pubitshed on behalf of the National Nuclear Risks Insurance Pools and Association, provides a step-by-step approach to assessing the Eire risk in a nuclear pover plant and describes protective measures to be taken as a part of thc fire protection of these plants.It provides useful guidance in this important area.The Huclear Knergy Liability and Property Insurance Association (Hgl.PIA)and the Hutual Atomic Energy Reinsurance Pool (HAKRP)have prepared a document titled"Specifications for Fire Protection of Hcu Plants," uhich gives general conditions and valuable criteria.A special revieu group organised by HRC under Dr Stephen H Hansuer, Technical Advisor to the Kxecutive Director for Operations, to study the Brouns Ferry Fire, issued a report, NURKC-0050,"Recommendations Related to Brouns Ferry Fire," in February 1976, vhich contains recommendations applicable to all nuclear pouer plants.This BTP uses the applicable information contained in these documents.
The fire protection program for a nuclear pouer plant presented in this BTP consists oE design features, personnel, equipment, and procedures that provide the defense-in-depth protection of the public health and safety.The purpose of the program is to prevent significant fires, to ensure the capability to shut dovn thc reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdovn condition, and to minimiae radioactive releases to the environment in the event of a significant Eire.To meet these objectives, it is essential that management participation in the program begin uith early design concepts and plant layout, uork and continue through plant operation and that, a qualified staff be responsible for engineering and design of fire protection features that provide Eire detection annunciation, conEinemcnt, snd suppression for the plant.The staff should also be responsible for fire prevention activities, maintenance oE fire protection systems, training, and manual firefighting activities't is the combination of all these that provides the ncedcd defense"in-depth protection of the public health and safety-Some of the major conclusions that emerged from the Brovns Ferry fire investigations uarrant emphasis and are disccussed below.l~Defense-in-De th Nuclear PoMer plants use the concept of deEense"in-depth to achieve the required high degree of safety by using echelons of safety systems.This concept is also applicable to Eire safety in nuclear poser plants'ith respect to the fire protection program, the dc(ense-in"depth principle is aimed at achieving an adequate balance in: Defence in depth wss considered in the design.a.Preventing fires from starting;b.Detecting fires quickly, suppressing those fires that occur, putting thi m out quickly, and limiting their damage;and HUREC&800 CUIDKI.IHES c.Designing plant safety systems so that a fire that starts in spite of the fire prevention program and burns for a considerable time in spite of Eire protection activities vill not prevent essential plant safety functions from being performed.
CONFORHA NCE No one oE these echelons can be perfect or complete by itself.Each echelon should meet certain minimum requirements, however, strengthening.any one can compensate in some measure for weaknesses, knovn or unknovn, in the others.'Ihe primary ob)ective of the fire protection program is to miniml'ie both the probability and consequences of postulated fires.In spite oE steps taken to reduce the probabi.lity oE fire, fires are expected to occur.'Iherefore, means are needed to detect and suppress fires with particular emphasis on providing passive and active fire protection of appropriate capability and adequate capacity for the systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe plant shutdovn vlth ot'ithout oifsite power, For other safcty-related systems, the Eire protection should ensure that a fire vill not cause the loss of function of such systems, even though loss of redunda'ncy within a system may occur as a result of the fire.Generally, in plant areas where the potential fire damage may)eopardixe safe plant shutdown, the primary means of fire protection should consist of fire barriers and fixed automatic fire detection and suppression systems.Also, a backup manual firefighting capability should be provided.-throughout the plant to limit the extent o!fire damage.Portable equipment consisting of hoses, noxxles, portable extlnguishers, complete personnel protective equipment, and air breathing equipment should be provided for use by properly trained firefighting personnel.
Access Eor effective manual application of fire extinguishing agents to combustibles should be provided.The adequacy of fire protection for sny particular plant safety system or area should be determined by analysis of the: effects of the postulated fire relative to, maintaining the ability to safely shutdovn the plant and minimize radioactive releases to the environment in the event of a Eire.Fire protection starts vith design and must be carried through sll phases of construction and operation.
A quality assurance (QA)program is needed to identify and rectify errors in design, construction, and operation and is an essential pert of defense"in<epth.
Considered in the design.Complied vith the intent.As stated on page 9.5.1"48 of Subsection 9.5-1 of the FSAR a quality assurance program has been developed for fire protection.
%be Design Construction QA program ls described in thc PSAR and uas approved by the HRC.However, for components of the fire protection system designed, specified, procured, manufactured, fabricated or installed prior to institution of the Fire Protection IIA program (February 8, 1977)the program was folloved to the extent practicable.
'ihe Engineering snd Construction fire protection quality assurance program uas approved by the NRC during construction permit review,'Ihe Operational Quality Assurance Program is described in Section 17.2 oE the FSAR, 2.Use of Mater on Electrical Cable Fires Experience uith wa]or electrical cable fires shous that vater vill promptly extinguish such fires, Since prompt extinguishing of the fire is vital to reactor safety, fire and water damage to safety systems is reduced by the morc efficient application of vater from fixed systems spraying directly on the fire rather than by manual application vith fire hoses.Appropriate flrefightlng proccdurca and fire training should provide thc techniques, equipwcnt, and skills for thc usc of water In fighting electrical cable fires in nuclear plants, part fcularly in areas containing a h lgh concentration of electr l c cables ul th plastic insulation.

'ONFORYJlNCE This is not to ssy that fixed vater systems should be installed everyvhere.
Equipment that may be damaged by voter should be shielded or relocated avay from the fire haxard and the vster.Drains should'be provided to remove any vater used for Eire suppression and extinguishment to ensure that voter accumulation does not incapacitate safety-related equipment.
Complied vith.3.Establishment and Use of Fire Areas Separate fire areas for each division of safety-related systems vill reduce the possibility oE fire-related damage to tedundant safety-related equipment.
Fire areas should be established to s>>parat>>redundant safety divisions and isolat~safety"related systems from fire hazards in nnnsafety-related areas.Particular design attention to the use of'eparate isolated fire areas fot redundant cables vill help to avoid loss oE redundant safety-related cables.Separate fire ateas should also be employed to limit the spread of fires bctveen components that sre maJor fire ha>>atda vithin a safety division.@here redundant systems cannot be separated by Eire barriers, ss in containment and the control toom, it is necessary to employ other measures to prevent a fire from causing the loss of function of safety-related systems.Mlthfn fire areas containing components of a safety-related system,.special attention should bc given to detecting and suppressing fires that may adversely effect the system.Heasures that may be taken to reduce the effects of s postulated fire in a given fire area include limiting the amount of combustible materials, installing fire-resistant construction>
providing fire rated barriers for cable trays, installing fire detection systems snd fixed fire suppression systems>or providing other ptotection suitable to the installation.
The fire hsxatd analysis vill'e the, mechanism to determine thc Eire areas have been properly aelected.Suitable design of the ventilation systems can limit the consequences of a fire by preventing the spread of the products oE<<ombustlon to other fire areas.It is important that means be provided to ventilate, exhaust, or isolate the fire area as required and that consideration be given to the consequences of failure of ventilation systems due to fire causing lose of control for ventilating, exhausting, or isolating a given fire area.Ihc capability to ventilate, exhaust, or isolate is particularly important to ensure the habitability of rooms or spaces that must be attended ln an emergency.
In the design, provision should be made for personnel access to and escape routes from each fire area.Complied vith the intent.As stated in the FSAR on page 9.5.1-1, separate fire areas, vhlch reduce thc possibility of fire related damage to redundant safety-related trains, vere established to separate redundant safety divisions and to isolate safety related systems from haxatds in non-safety related areas to the extent possible in the previously established plant design established priot to issuance of NUREC-0800 (See first parsgtaph on FSAR page 9.5.1-1 and Response to Comment on Page 4 Item I), vhere fire barriets could not be installed to separate redundant systems, alternate means, as permitted by Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1 Rev 0 Cuidelines for Fire Protection Eor Pover Plants Docketed Prior to July I, 1976, such ss limitation of the amount of combustible materials through administrative procedures utilixstion of Eire tesistive construction, provision of fire breaks snd/or fire teterdant.
