9NR UNITED STATESC NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

ANNOUNCEMENT NO. 26DATE: March 19,1980

.

TO: Directors of Offices, Divisions and Regional Offices,Assistant Directors and Branch Chiefs

SUBJECT: RE0RGANIZATION OF THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation is being reorganized toreflect the nature of the expected workload during the next fewyears, to pennit the most effective implementation of recommendedchanges and improvements identified by the various TMI accidentinvestigations, and to provide for the most effective and efficientutilization of available resources. Some of the major features ofthe new organization are as follows.

(1) A new Division of Human Factors Safety is devoted totallyto supporting the operational and people-oriented aspectsof safety. .

(2) All project managers are consolidated into a Division ofProject Management, thus promoting the expansion andstrengthening of the authority and responsibility of theproject managers. Technical disciplines are largely cen-tralized into a Division of Engineering and Division ofSystems Integration, thus eliminating diffusion of technicalexpertise and assuring effective interchange and applicationof reystrements and experience between operating plant andlicensirig reviews.

(3) It maintains, reinforces and institutionalizes a separate-

organizational element, a Division of Safety Technology, forthe timely development of solutions to generic safety issues

L as well as other management and procedural improvements which| NRR has evolved since the TMI accident.

(4| The organization as a whole is designed to provide an inter-disciplinary systems approach to licensing reviews, operatingproblems and generic issues,
