(or units’) status. Administrative procedures should describe what is required to ensure the proper transfer of responsibilities occurs when a senior operator on duty in the control room is relieved of control room responsibility during a shift or during a change of shifts. The procedures should include, as a minimum, a definition of proper relief (e.g., what information is required to be passed on and acknowledged between the two senior operators) and notification to the control room shift crew by the senior operator in charge. 2.6 A single senior operator in the control room should not assume the responsibility for more than one control room but may have responsibility for all units operated from a single control room. This is one of the minimum requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) for onsite staffing per shift of nuclear power units by senior operators. D. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to applicants and licensees regarding the NRC’s plans for using this draft regulatory guide. No imposition or backfit is intended or approved in connection with its issuance. The NRC has issued this draft guide to encourage public participation in its development. The NRC will consider all public comments received in development of the final guidance document. Except in those cases in which an applicant or licensee proposes or has previously established an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the NRC’s regulations, the methods described in the active guide will be used in evaluating compliance with the regulations as discussed in this guide for license applications, license amendment applications, and exemption requests. The staff will also use this guide to evaluate licensee submittals which open the licensing basis for review. DG-1194, Page 5 REGULATORY ANALYSIS 1.
