3/88 – 1/91

Salem Procedure Upgrade Project Administrator

Technical Department, Salem Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, PWR, Hancocks Bridge, NJ

Planned, organized, staffed, directed and controlled the procedural upgrade for Salem Nuclear Generating Station(s), two 1174 MWe Pressurized Water Reactors. The upgrade included technical and human factors engineering coupled with 10CFR50.59 applicability review and safety evaluations of all procedures and related documentation. Additionally, personnel training was conducted on all procedures for all disciplines involved in the upgrade.

The planning stage included the overall scoping of the project. Project scope addressed the disciplines involved in the upgrade (Operations, Maintenance, I&C, Chemistry, Reactor Engineering), physical plant and supporting personnel/materials needed to sustain the effort, and the scheduling and fiscal budgetary constraints.

The organizational stage allowed for the development of the physical plant and preliminary identification of personnel availability. Included in this development was the dynamic “day-to-day” involvement of dedicated utility personnel to insure commitment. Conducted the actual physical plant layout of the Procedure Upgrade Project Complex.

The staffing stage allowed for the actual identification and acquisition of both contractual and dedicated utility personnel. Due to the dynamic nature of the upgrade with both reactors on line, it was critical to employ highly disciplined individuals with the flexibility to adapt.

The directional stage was solidified procedurally, reference “Salem Procedure Upgrade Project Program,” SC.TE-AP.PUP-0001(Q). Proceduralized this program to insure consistency of evaluation, technical application and the upgraded procedure(s).

The control stage was inherently proceduralized in SC.TE-AP.PUP-0001(Q) to insure absolute control of the some “3,000” procedures to be addressed in the upgrade. This proceduralized control insured the integrity of the workflow process by utilizing computerize database(s) to track procedure(s)/writer(s) from the start of upgrading the procedure until signoff, approval by the respective utility manager.

In conclusion, the Salem Procedure Upgrade Project was inspected by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) with satisfactory or higher ratings and no major findings.
