83G1050f05 L

OUTLINE The purpose of this testimony is to respond to Issue 11 of the Commission's March 6, 1980 Order, CLI-80-5, Sholly Contention 14(b), and ANGRY Contention No. IV, all of which concern Licensee's ability to support the operation of TMI-l with sufficient technical capability from both in-house and outside sources.

Licensee's new centralized nuclear organization assures that TMI-1 will receive the technical support it needs. The Technical Functions Division of the GPU Nuclear Corporation (GPUNC) provides about two hundred professionals, under the supervision of highly qualified managers, dedicated to assuring the technical adequacy of TMI-l and GPU's other nuclear facilities. Not only does this group of people represent a new, centralized technical capability within Licensee's organization, but it also constitutes a significant increase in staff. Included within Technical Functions are the engineering disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical and instru-mentation engineering, metallurgical engineering, engineering mechanics, and nuclear engineering. In addition to providing to TMI-1 extensive technical support through its in-house professional capability, Licensee augments its technical resources by utilizing the expertise of the TMI-l NSSS designer (B&W), the architect / engineer (Gilbert Associates), and I

numerous other technical firms. The w0rk of these outside technical organizat.ons is carefully monitored by Technical Functions, as is the availability of adequate resources witki-l

Technical Functions to handle TMI-2 recovery as well as TMI-1 operations.

Moreover, TMI-2 recovery is the responsibility of a dedicated GPUNC technical group; a major portion of the technical resources required by TMI-2 beyond those specifically provided for in GPUNC will be obtained from Bechtel Power Corporation, not from Licensee.

The Technical Functions Division is responsible for assuring the technical adequacy of all aspects of GPU Nuclear Corporation (GPUNC). In fulfilling its responsibility, the Division utilizes its own extensive internal resources, as well as the resources of outside nuclear steam supply system organizations, architect engineers, and other consultants. The major activities of Technical Functions, as described in l Licensee's Restart Report, Section 5.30, are to perform, manage and direct all out-of-plant engineering, design and safety analyses; to maintain and administer the distribution of all plant technical basis and configuration control documents (e.a., drawings, specifications, lists, safety analysis reports, environmental reports, and technical specifications);

to interface with regulatory agencies and prepare, review and approve all licensing document correspondence; to perform plant technical monitoring, assessment, productivity analysis and performance evaluations; to prepare, review, or concur in all engineering, operating and licensing procedures; to specify, manage and direct all fuel materials and fabrication contrac-tors; to prepare and monitor engineering schedules and cost estimates; to review, evaluate and ensure adequate communica-tions within GPU as to NRC notices, bulletins and reports as well as other nuclear plant operating experience reports in the industry; to direct operating plant Shift Technical Advisors; to define technical requirements for training programs; to plan and direct all startup and major test activities; and to l - . -. -

analyze major equipment failures. The majority of the approximately 250 Technical Functions personnel devoted to these activities are located at GPU's Parsippany offices, although a number of staff work at each of the nuclear plant units or rotate between these lccations.

The Technical Functions Division described herein, with broad centralized responsibility for operational support and technical review of GPUNC's nuclear plants, is a significant departure from the organization which existed prior to the TMI-2 accident. Prior to March 1979, technical support to TMI operations was provided by onsite engineers assigned to the plant staff and by the Generation Engineering Department within Metropolitan Edison Company (Met Ed), with occasional input from the GPU Service Corporation's (GPUSC's) technical resources as deaanded. Met Ed's Generation Engineering Department, located in Reading, Pennsylvania, totalled approxi-mately 40 personnel. Table 1 summarizes the educational background a .f professional experience of that organization as of March 1979. The educational and professional qualifications of GPUSC's Technical Functions personnel as of March 1979 are presented in Table 2. Of course, prior to the Unit 2 accident, GPUSC's resources were devoted not only to backup for TMI-1 and TMI-2, but also to Oyster Creek, Forked River and fossil plants within the GPU system. The vast majority of GPUSC's technical efforts, in fact, were focused on support for Forked River construction. Additional engineering support was provided l

throughout the GPU System through various contracts to augment our own technical resources. Approximately 40% of the Table 1 and 10% of the Table 2 professionals were devoted to TMI-l engineering and support activities.

The recently organized Technical Functions Division of GPU Nuclear Corporation has greater technical capability and resources devoted to nuclear projects than did the combined Met Ed Generation Engineering Department and GPUSC as of March 1979. Working in Technical Functions are technical personnel previously with the Metropolitan Edison Generation Engineering De pa r tme n t , Jersey Central Power and Light Corporation (JCP&L),

and General Public Utilities Service Corporation. In addition, significant staff augmentation has occurred and continues through aggressive pursuit of additional technical personnel.

Two comparisons of present technical resources to March 1979 resources can be drawn. First, the total number of in-house professionals and the years of experience has been increased by a factor of two. Secondly, the number of professionals and i

years of experience dedicated to TMI-l has increased by greater than a factor of four.

l Technical Functions provides the central technical capability in the disciplines necessary to support our nuclear activities such as mechanical engineering, electrical and instrumentation engineering, metallurgical engineering,

( engineering mechanics and nuclear engineering. It also

includes the necessary licensing expertise to assure that the

nuclear plants are operated in accordance with their respective licenses and to provide for a continuing interface with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission- Currently, approximately 60% of Technical Functions is dedicated to TMI-1. The remaining 40%

is apportioned between Oyster Creek (35%), and TMI-2, Forked River and Saxton. The educational and professional quali-fications of GPUNC Technical Functions staff is presented in Table 3.

The Vice President of Technical Functions reports to the Office of the President of GPUNC. He is responsible for the quantity and quality of the staffing for the Division; the proper functioning of the interfaces with the operating plants and other divisions of GPU Nuclear Corporation; the effectiveness of the licensing and technical support provided to the facilities; the use and direction of outside engineering j resources; and ultimately, for the technical performance of the GPUNC plants.

The GPUNC educational and experience requirements for the Vice President exceed the July 17, 1980 NRC draft management criteria. They are a minimum of 15 years of responsible engineering management experience, the majority of which must be in the nuclear industry. The position requires an engi-neering degree in one of the principle engineering disciplines with advanced degrees or specialized training desirable. As my attached resume reflects, I possess both a Bachelor and Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering, am a graduate of

the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology, possess a professional Engineering registration, and have approximately 26 years of experience, of which almost all is in the tield of nuclear technology.

Reporting directly to me are the heads of each of the six Departments within Technical Functions, ss shown on Figure 1.

These include Engineering Projects, Systems Engineering, Engineering and Design, Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Startup and Test and Engineering Services. In addition to the major Departments, there is a small administrative staff. The qualifications of each of the Department heads exceeds the NRC's draft management criteria (July 1980).

The Engineering Project Management Department provides a central project or task management capability for the Division.

This Department coordinates the detailed tasks within the l

l various Technical Functions departments, interfaces directly with the plants and other supporting Divisions of GPUNC, directs and coordinates the work of outside technical organiza-tions, and assumes the overall technical schedule and monetary responsibility for plant modifications. Each plant modifica-l tion project is assigned to a project or responsible engineer within Engineering Project Management, who has responsibility for technical follow-through unti.7 modifications are tu ned over to the facility's Operations staff. The Engineering Project Management Department has permanent personnel located both in the Parsippany office and at each plant site. At TMI Unit 1 a senior department staff member is presently assigned on a full-time basis to coordinate Technical Functions Division personnel at the site.

The current Department Manager, Mr. T. Crimmins, has degrees in Physics ( B.S. ) and Engineering Management (M.S.) and a total of 15 years of nuclear experience, including 5 years in operations. Prior to joining GPU, Mr. Crimmins was a commis-sioned officer in the Navy, serving on nuclear submarines. He was Licensing Manager in the GPU Service Corporation and Manager of Engineering for JCP&L prior to assuming his current position. The staffing level of the Department and its cumulative years of engineering experience are indicated in Table 3.

The Systems Engineering Department provides specialized technical capability, including direction of the on-site Shift Technical Advisors, who work on shift with the unit operating staff. Systems engineers analyze plant operations (including plant transients), fuel performance and fuel management;

. operate and program the plant percces computers; and review and l

l approve the technical content of operating and emergency procedures. In addition, the Department is developing a capability in reliability engineering and htaan factors i

engineering, Licensee Event Reports (LERs) and general industry experience are evaluated by Systems Engineering and factored into plant activities through an ongoing technical evaluation of major plant trends, particularly those important

~

to plant safety. In addition to evaluating LERs, Systems Engineering is responsible for assimilating, evaluating and ensuring appropriate engineering or operational attention and action are focused upon information relevant to nuclear safety i

or potential safety concerns. The Department has the authority to bring matters receiving improper attention or resolution to senior management for resolution. Typically, technical information concerning other reactors of relevance to TMI-1 is received in the form of bulletins or letters received from B&W, information received by equipment vendors, and NRC bulletins, circulators, and information notices. In order to fulfill its responsibility for monitoring and evaluating industry informa-tion, Systems Engineering maintains computer communications with NSAC and B&W plant owners.

The cur rent Department manager , Mr. R. Keaton, has a B.S.

degree in physics and 23 years of nuclear technology experi-ence. Prior to joining GPU in 1978, Mr. Keaton worked as a physicist at the Savannah River National Laboratories and at l the Atomic International Division of Rockwell International.

At Atomic International, Mr. Keaton progressed through several supervisory positions dealing with reactor analysis, overall systems analysis, safety and reactor operations. The current combined experience of Systems Engineering technical personnel is given in Table 3.

The Engineering and Design (EED) Department ou Technical Functions provides a centralized technical capability for

l 1

l engineering work needed on plant systens and components. E&D's technical capability and organizational structure is similar to

)

that of an architect / engineering organization, although on a reduced scale. E&D' performs the engineering for plant modifications, interfaces with and reviews engineering per-formed by outside organizations, prepares drawings and specifi-cations, investigates failures of plant systems and components and provides readily accessible technical capability to support general operations or plant outages. Also, E&D reviews and approves plant procedures within its areas of responsibility, i.e. , primary and secondary mechanical process systems. The E&D Department contains such technical disciplines as mechanical and fluid systems engineering; engineering mechanics and fluid mechanics, electrical power, instrumentation and control engineering, and critical mechanical components. E&D also maintains a general design and drafting capability.

The incumbent head of E&D, Mr. D. Croneberger, has B.S.

degrees in Civil and Structural Engineering and 15 years of direct nuclear experience. Prior to joining GPU in 1978, Mr.

Croneberger was Chief Structural Engineer at Gilbert Associates, a leading architect / engineering firm. While at Gilbert Associates he had structur al engineering responsi-bilities for Three Mile Island, the Perry plant, and other Gilbert Associates nuclear work. The current staffing and experience of the E&D Department are indicated on Table 3.

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Af fairs monitors and ensures continuing compliance with licensing and regulatory requirements. This Department is the principal interface with the NRC with respect to nuclear safety and environmental licensing, including all FSAR criteria changes, tdchnical specifications, review of I&E bulletins, circulars and notices and other safety or environmental evaluations.

Licensing and Regulatory Affairs also administers and controls NPLES permits, environmental technical specifications and, in general, interacts on programmatic licensing issues with all Federal, State and local regulatory groups. The Depar tment evaluates proposed regulatory activities, participates in generic licensing activities, and provides general licensing guidance on water quality standards, security, fire protection, and state or local codes and standards. In performance of its responsibilities, the Manager and staff of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs interact regularly with other Technical Functions Depar tments, the TMI-l Division, Nuclear Assurance, Administration, Radiological Control and external regulatory groups.

l The current manager of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Mr. T. Tipton, has a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, a

M.S. degree in nuclear engineering, and approximately 12 years of engineering experience, the majority of which is nuclear.

Prior to assuming his currenc position at GPU Nuclear, Mr.

Tipton was head of 'Mr Suclear Safety and Licensing Section of 1

l the American Electric Power Service Company and, since 1975, served as Manager of the Jersey Central Power and Light

Company's Licensing and Safety Group. The current staffing and experience of the Department are indicated on Table 3.

The Startup and Test Department of Technical Functions provides operational experience to support nuclear 7ngineering activities, and plans and directs the startup and testing of all significant plant modifications, using Plant Operations personnel. The Startup and Test Department also maintains responsibility for plant modifications until it is turned over formally to the unit's Operations Department af ter a final check of all modifications, as well as the review of all test and other documents.

The current Manager of the Startup and Test Department, Mr. G. Miller, has 16 years of experience and a B.S. degree in marine engineering. Mr. Miller's experience includes two years in the Merchant Marine, seven years of startup and test i

activity at Newport News shipbuilding on nuclear powered Navy vessels, and seven years at Metropolitan Edison Company. He has served at Three Mile Island within the Operating Organization, progressing to Plant Superintendent and later

! Station Manager. The staffing and cumulative experience of the De pa r tment is shown on Table 3.

, The Engineering Services Department provides a central l organization for the control and preparation of standard engineering documents, schedules, cost and budgetary analysis, and configuration control. Engineering Services develops, coordinates and controls all internal engineering scheduling 1

4 l

l for other departments and provides engineering cost estimating support. On a continuing basis, the Department independently analyzes production efficiency, compares it with industry standards, and identifies potential areas of improvement.

Engineering Services also establishes the procedures for maintaining current engineering documentation. The Department is responsible for the technical document control system for Technical Functions, providing a central master file of plant technical data.

The current Manager of Engineering Services, Mr. C.

Mascari, has degrees in electrical engineering (B.S.) and business ( M.S.) and 12 years of nuclear experience. Prior to joining GPU, Mr. Mascari worked for five years in reactor instrumentation at Westinghouse and for an additional four years was the Westinghouse Project Manager for the NSSS units sold to Spain. The technical experience of Engineering Services is indicated on Table 3.

Technical support requirements for an operating nuclear plant such as TMI-l require a broad spectrum of technical disciplines. In-house GPUNC technical resources are augmented by the capabilities of the nuclear steam supply system design-er, B&W, and the architect / engineer, Gilbert Associates.

Independent technical consulting firms are also employed as special circumstances might warrant. Typically, external support is obtained under one or more of the following circums-tances:

1. When participation by a consultant, such as the NSSS supplier, is considered important, e.a., assessments of plant p.formance.

2. When the specialized expertise required does not exist within GPUNC or the outside consultant has a unique capability.

3. When an independent or confirmatory technical evaluation, independent of GPUNC, is desired.

4. When the contemplated effort is generic in nature and GPUNC can join with other utilities to perform the work on a shared basis.

5. When it is cost-effective for an outside technical organization to perform the work because of past direct experience or involvement.

6. When technical resources are required to augment in-house staff during high demand periods.

Use of outside firms is the joint responsibility of the cognizant Technical Functions engineering managers and the appropriate engineering project manager. Such determinations are routinely reviewed by the Technical Functions Vice President, who has the ultimate responsibility for completion and adequacy of all engineering work.

The performance of technical work by outside consultants is controlled by Licensee through a variety of means, including direction from appropriate engineering project menagers by formal task assignments; review and concurrence by the i

)

Engineering Departments of technical criteria for the work to be performed; the performance of work in accordance with recognized and approved CA programs; and the maintenance of recognized administrative ^and control procedures.

Examples of outside technical support utilized for TMI Unit 1 include: (1) providing operating technical guidance for small break loss of coolant accidents and selected anticipated transients by B&W; (2) providing detailed evaluation of pressure vessel support capability and impact upon the NSSS by B&W; (3) performing selected TM1-1 restart modification engineering work by Gilbert Associates; and (4) performing a human engineering review of the TMI-l control room by MPR Associates and Drs. J.M. Christiansan and T.G. Sheraton, experts in human engineering technology.

To assure availability of adequate resources within Technical Functions to handle TMI-2 recovery as well as TMI-l operations, TMI-2 recovery is the responsibility of a dedicated GPUNC technical group within the Engineering Projects De pa r tmen t . This group is comprised of approximately 30 individuals of wnich 7 are currently full time GPUNC employees.

l' The balance of the group consists of individuals on loan for an indefinite period from Babcock and Wilcox, Burns and Roe, and other engineering organizations. In addition, Bechtel Power Corporation provides a large full-time technical staff to plan, evaluate, engineer and otherwise support TMI-2 recovery. The l majority of technical resources required for TMI-2 beyond those I

l l

provided for in the GPU Nuclear Corporation organization will .

be obtained from Bechtel. This arrangement assures that the GPUNC resources required to support TMI-l are always available, and are in no way compromised by activities at TMI-2.

Currently, Bechtel provides about 75 professionals in full-time support of Unit 2 activities. Although it will be adjusted as necessary during TMI-2 recovery and decontamination activities, the peak Bechtel technical support over the next 5 years is projected by Bechtel and GPUNC to be in the order of 300 professionals.

In summary, GPUNC Technical Functions has evolved since the TMI accident into a strong technical organization dedicated to GPU's nuclear projects. Technical Functions provides to Licensee the capability to provide TMI-1 with sufficient in-house technical resources. The GPUNC in-house technical resources, in both number of professionals and total experience supporting nuclear operations, has more than doubled; direct l

technical support of TMI-l has quadrupled. GPUNC is continuing l

to aggressively hire talented professionals in order to continue to strengthen its technical capability. Moreover, support for TMI-2 is not diluting or taking priority over Unit 1 support. Rather, GPUNC has contracted with Bechtel Power i

Corporation for projected and contingency engineering and technical support for TMI-2. This arrangement ensures that appropriate technical assistance is readily available to TMI-2 and that future demands for TMI-2 technical support will not adversely impact the technical manpower and resources dedicated I

i to TMI-1.
