Hopefully, folks have time to answer a few staffing questions. Thank you!
How many reactor engineers per unit at your site? What experience level?
What reactivity management-related duties are there? For example: plan preparation, control room attendance during maneuvers, run/attend station RM oversight committee.
Other programs or responsibilities you would deem major? For example: SNM tracking/reporting, plant systems, computer administration.

How many reactor engineers per unit at your site? What experience level? 1 unit site: 1 unqualified Supervisor, 1 Reactor Engineering Qualed Core Designer (~20 years experience), 2 Reactor Engineers (5 years experience, 2 years experience), 1 vacant position for new grad
What reactivity management-related duties are there? For example: plan preparation, control room attendance during maneuvers, run/attend station RM oversight committee. plan preparation (required for >10% power change but in practice are created for various other activities [a blender outage for example]), control room attendance during maneuvers (required for >30% power change but in practice are in the control room for the majority of power maneuvers), run/attend station RM oversight committee (organize and present CRs, OE and power history for review but don't manage the KPI), review CRs and OE daily for Reactivity Management impact.
Other programs or responsibilities you would deem major? For example: SNM tracking/reporting, plant systems, computer administration. SNM tracking, support fuel movement by writing move sheets and performing oversight actions in the field, visit control room at least once a week to discuss Reactivity Management with the control room staff, no systems other than the fuel assigned to the group but typically involved in troubleshooting/modifications to the SFP, SFP cooling, incore instrumentation, nuclear instrumentation or refueling equipment, perform new fuel receipt.

How many reactor engineers per unit at your site? What experience level? Response - 2 Unit Site. 1 Supervisor (qualified), 4 qualified REs - 2 more than 30 years expereince,1 with 5 years experience and 1 with less than 2 years experience. One open position that will be filled with new college graduate
What reactivity management-related duties are there? For example: plan preparation, control room attendance during maneuvers, run/attend station RM oversight committee. Response - Plan preparation is all performed by RE for periodic and evolution specific (> 10% planned power changes). Control Room attendance during all >10% planned power maneuvers. RE performs almost all aspects of reactivity management inclduing reviews of CRs, initial categorization of events, PI, meeting coordination and administrative duties.
Other programs or responsibilities you would deem major? For example: SNM tracking/reporting, plant systems, computer administration. Response - SNM tracking, inventory and reporting, all fuel move planning, maintain computer/software used to monitor core, no plant systems but support incore and excore issues, support dry cask storage

How many reactor engineers per unit at your site? What experience level? 2 Unit site. 1 Supervisor (Primary/Secondary Systems Supervisor)-not qualified; 3 REs. Two fully qualified, one with five years on station as RE (5 years non-RE experience), one with two years of experience; third was fully qualified at previous station, is mostly qualified now and has 4 years of experience total.
What reactivity management-related duties are there? For example: plan preparation, control room attendance during maneuvers, run/attend station RM oversight committee. Prepare reactivity plans for planned ramps >5%, support for ramps >10%; we will also provide any plans or assistance as requested if available; support RMRT site and fleet-grading CRs, assisting with documentation (these duties have been transitioning more to ops over the last few years; we used to run the meetings from planning to execution). {In addition to the normal tasks involving PTs, standard ramp plans, and document reviews}
Other programs or responsibilities you would deem major? For example: SNM tracking/reporting, plant systems, computer administration Manage several codes for the Plant computer (flux mapping, calorimetric, etc) plus qualified codes used in RFO surveillances and for manual calorimetric. As needed provide code reviews as needed. Code changes for the PCS are handled outside the group, but we are kept involved. Review all onload/offload handling plans. Inspect new fuel. Support incore/excore system issues and leakrate issues as needed (but don't own the systems). In some cases RE will be the group that writes a code (some qualified, some not) to perform a certain task or function.

How many reactor engineers per unit at your site? What experience level? North Anna has 2 Units (PWRs). We currently have 3 REs. RE #1 - 6 years RE experience (with 6 months co-op) RE#2 - 2 years RE experience, Safety Analysis experience, ex-Navy experience RE#3 - 1.5 months experience, college graduate (with 7 months co-op) 1 Primary Systems Supervisor We have another fully qualified ex-RE is in Systems Engineering that assists when needed.
What reactivity management-related duties are there? For example: plan preparation, control room attendance during maneuvers, run/attend station RM oversight committee. Perform daily reviews of Condition Reports for Reactivity Management items Review Work Orders and Procedure changes related to reactivity management - Sometimes we have a weeks notice, sometime a couple of hours. Reactivity Plan prep - Prepare reactivity plans for planned ramps >5% per procedure. Control room attendance - We are usually there for any ramp, no matter how small it is. We have also been present in the control room for rod motion testing. RM Oversight Committee - REs attend the RM Review Team meetings as part of the quorum and take minutes during the meeting. We hold RM Condition Report grading meetings prior to the RM Review Team meetings. We work with Outage and Planning on getting RM related work orders prioritized accordingly on a monthly basis.
Other programs or responsibilities you would deem major? For example: SNM tracking/reporting, plant systems, computer administration SNM Tracking is handled by the Corporate office, however we are involved in verifying core offload/reload shuffles. Participate in new fuel receipt as qualified inspectors. Monthly PTs such as flux maps, PRNI Calibration, Primary to Secondary Leakrate evaluation, Reactivity Anomaly
