Interface arrangements and controls between the applicant and major contractors (NSSS vendors, architect-engineers, constructors) should be examined to ensure that the applicant will be in charge of and responsible for design and construction activities. If the application involves the addition of more than one unit, the reviewer should ensure that the applicant’s headquarters staffing plans take this fact into account. This is particularly important if additional units are scheduled to come on line at intervals of a year or less, since the shakedown period for the operation of a new plant can be expected to produce quite heavy workloads. In some cases the applicant may plan to bolster the plant staff organization during such periods so that it is necessary to evaluate the applicant’s headquarters staffing plans in conjunction with plant staffing plans. 3. The reviewer should assess the degree of participation during the design and construction phases by the applicant’s headquarters group that typically has plant operating responsibility. Interfaces should be examined between this group and groups with project engineering responsibilities. 4. At the time of this review, if the applicant has had experience in the operation of a previously licensed nuclear power plant, the reviewer may seek independent information about the applicant’s headquarters staffing and qualifications through the appropriate NRC regional office. 13.1.1-10 Revision 5 - March 2007 The review procedure for this section, therefore, consists of the following: 5.
