(Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1)Docket No. 50-289 SP (Restart - Management Issues)

Dear Chairman Edles and Administrative Judges Buck and Kohl:

hirsuant to the procedures outlined in Licensee counsel'sletter to the Appeal Board of October 1, 1981, the following :

facts with respect to changes since the close of the recordon management issues are provided for the Appeal Board's infor-mation and the information of the parties to the.TMI-l restartproceedings:

.

1. At paragraph 178 of the Licensing Board's August 27,1981 Partial Initial Decision (" Management PID"), 14 N.R.C.381, 446, the Board notes that individuals participating in

Licensee's-auxiliary operator training program are dropped fromthe program if they fail two examinations on the same topicalsection of the program. The' Licensing Board also notes that

'

individuals who twice fail the comprehensive. examination atthe end of the~ entire auxiliary operators' classroom trainingprogram are interviewed by the Supervisor of Operator Trainingto determine the appropriate course of action. Licensee's

. auxiliary operator training procedures now provide the same *

: disposition for failures of either a topical section reexamina-

{-tion or_a comprehensive examination. Current procedures require

- that following the failure of a retest of any topical section-examination or the retest of the comprehensive examination

,

for auxiliary operator trainees, the trainee shall.be evaluated i

by the Operator Training Manager and Manager-Plant Operations,,

'7

TMI-1, who shall determine the appropriate actions to be taken. ;

2. Analog'ously, Licensee's new licensed operator requali- !

fication program procedures, as implemented in April, 1982,>

provide for evaluation of an individual who fails a retest of,

t,

his annual requalification examination (i.e., acceleratedrequalification program examination). Thus, where the Licensing .

Board's-Management PID (1 195, 14 N.R.C. Et 450) states that! failure of an annual requalification a second time preventsi the individual from. working as a licensed operator, current

procedures require that the individual's-suitability for'

resuming licensed duties will be reviewed by the Supervisor,-L Licensed Operator Training, who will provide a recommendation

to plant management and the Vice President, TMI-l via the i

'

Training Department regarding the individual's permanent,

H removal from licensed duties or additional upgrading effortsto be considered.;

| 3. Training' responsibility for Shift Technical' Advisor '

training has been shifted from the TMI-l Training and EducationalDevelopment Section (see Management PID, 1 219,114 N.R.C. at 458)to the Operator. Training section of the TMI Training organization.

,

i No' change substantively.in the program content has resulted fromthis change.

|. 4. . Mr. Max Nelson, identified in the Management PID as,

|- Safety Review Manager (Management PID, 1 411, 14 N.R.C. at522), has been replaced by.Mr. Robert'O. Hurd who, as the'

attached' resume indicates, has not only a B.S. in physics'

like Mr. Nelson, but also an M.S. in nuclear engineering,,

as well as nineteen years of professional experience in!,

5. At paragraph 416 (14 N.R.C. at 524) of the ManagementPID, the Licensing Board states that the Manager of the NuclearSafety Assessment Department will be assisted by approximatelyfive technical staff during 1981. Mr. Whitesel is currentlyassisted by one individual. It is anticipated that there willbe three staff members assisting Mr. Whitesel by September andfour such technical staff members by the end of 1982.
