Revision 6 - March 2007 E. The total complement of licensed and unlicensed personnel for onsite shift operating crews should be sufficient to avoid the routine heavy use of overtime. (SRP Section 13.5.1 contains guidance on work hour limitations.) To meet this policy, staffing plans should provide for no less than the number required for five shift rotations. F.

The minimum size of the fire brigade shift should be five persons unless a site evaluation has been completed and some other number justified. H. Regulatory Guide 1.8, “Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants,” sets forth the staff position on plant personnel qualifications and training. In addition, although the qualification levels of the standards are endorsed as acceptable minimums for each position, it is expected that the collective qualifications of the plant staff will be greater than the sum of the minimum individual requirements described in the standard, particularly in the area of nuclear power plant experience and in supervisory and managerial positions involved in operating the facility. If the collective qualifications do not exceed the sum of the minimums for individual positions, additional technical support for the plant staff may be required. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of
