As a Program Manager, Mr. Sward is responsible for the management of all.engineering activities associated with an individual program or small project. Heinterfaces with principal client engineers, develops project scoping, prepares costestimates and schedules, coordinates multi-discipline design activities, monitorsand controls budgets, and maintains schedules. He has overall responsibility forcost and schedule performance and the quality of program deliverables.

As an Engineering Manager, Mr. Sward is responsible for coordinating theactivities of civil and structural engineers and architects engaged in the designand engineering of various facilities. He performs or manages all aspects of thedesign including criteria development, detailed design, calculations, drawingproduction and specification writing. He is responsible for the conformance ofproject work to project design criteria, Sargent & Lundy policy and procedures,and applicable codes and standards.

Mr. Sward has considerable experience in Containment Inservice Inspection(CISI). This experience includes a recent effort in CISI program development andimplementation pursuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.55a. This includeswork on all of ComEd's nuclear units, Crystal River, Nine Mile'Point and IndianPoint 2. Related past experience includes involvement in containment posttensioning inspections per Regulatory Guide 1.35 requirements.

Mr. Sward has extensive experience in the design of nuclear power plants. Hisbackground includes new plant design, plant modification design and modificationpackage development, on-site engineering support of construction activities,engineering support for plant operation, maintenance and modification activities,preparation and maintenance of design cliteria, and verification and inspectionprogram work.

Most of Mr. Sward's recent assignments have been as Program Manager and/orStructural Lead for nuclear plant modification projects. This experience hasinvolved a variety of projects on several domestic nuclear power plants. His work

Page 1


encompassed project planing (Le., scoping, cost estimating, scheduling, and workplan development) and management efforts as well as hands-on designengineering, and modification package development.

Mr. Sward has been involved in the design of all types of nuclear plant structuralcomponents including main building elements and component supports. Hepreviously supervised the structural design activities associated with plantmodifications and design basis maintenance for ComEd's Byron and Braidwoodstations. During construction of the Braidwood station, he worked at the projectsite supervising a group of engineers whose primary function was technicalsupport of miscellaneous structural construction activities. His group perfonmedwalkdowns and interacted with contractor personnel to resolve field problems.They also perfonmed design calculations as needed for assessment of field asbuilt conditions and evaluation of design changes requested by the client orcontractor and issued design change documents.

Mr. Sward previously developed a structures condition monitoring program forimplementation of 1OCFR50.65, the Maintenance Rule, for the Salem and HopeCreek nuclear stations. This effort involved the identification of structures withinthe scope of the Maintenance Rule, review of existing programs, development ofexamination requirements and criteria, and perfonmance of baselineexaminations.

Mr. Sward has worked on several projects related to the development ofstructurally based technical standards and criteria documents. One suchassignment was the development of a design criteria document for componentsupports for Niagara Mohawk Power Company's Nine Mile Point Unit 1. Thisassignment involved researching and compiling existing design basis infonmationand developing additional criteria for use in future design work. Anotherassignment involved the compilation of details and design requirements fromsource documents into specific standards for the design of raceways and thedevelopment of standardized prequalified details.

Mr. Sward has been involved in a number of verification projects on nuclearplants. For Tennessee Valley Authority's Watts Bar station he was the supervisorof a multi-discipline group of engineers for the construction verification portion of avertical slice review. This task reviewed installed plant hardware to verifyconfonmance with design output documents. It entailed identification of essentialelements and attributes to be reviewed, establishment of review criteria,reinspection of hardware, reporting of observations, review of client responses,and preparation of a final report. For the Braidwood station he was part of thestaff involved in a construction assessment program. He worked in theengineering group to define inspection requirements, prepare checklists, establishacceptance criteria for reinspections, assemble inspection packages, coordinateactivities with inspection personnel, and evaluate the results of the reinspections.In an earlier assignment, he worked as part of a site team tasked with examiningand repairing concrete elements of the building structure.

Mr. Sward has been involved on several DOE waste management projects for

0881565/2212000

Page 2

CHRIS A SWARDNUCLEAR POWER STRUCTURAL & CML ENGINEERINGENGINEERING MANAGER

Argonne National Laboratory. One entailed preliminary and detailed design forthe conversion of a decommissioned reactor building into a radioactive wastestorage facility. Another involved preliminary design for rehabilitation of a wasteprocessing facility. These projects included structural modifications, significantHVAC system and HEPA filtration modifications, electrical upgrades and otherfacility improvements. Mr. Sward coordinated the design activities of a multidiscipline team and performed or supervised the performance of allcivil/structural/architectural designs. He was also involved in cost reduction effortsand formal value engineering processes.

Mr. Sward also has experience on a number of fossil-fueled projects. He wasinvolved in the design of Nova Scotia Power Company's Point Aconi station, theworld's largest fluidized bed boiler unit. He was responsible for the design of thebuilding foundation, turbine pedestal, gas ductwork and other miscellaneouscomponents. He has also worked on modification projects for several fossilstations.

5.4 Magnifying glasses, mirrors, rulers, protractors, crack comparators and other instrumentsmay be used to supplement direct examination as required.

6. EXAMINATION INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Examination Conditions

6.1.1 Access to the containment surfaces for direct visual examination shall enable anexamination within 24 inches of the surface. In cases where location, obstruction,safety or health physics considerations render an area inaccessible forexamination at this distance, remote optical aides shall be used as prescribed inSection 6.1.4 (as allowed by Relief Request No. 45).

6.1.2 Surface areas being examined shall be illuminated, if necessary, by auxiliary lightsources to attain a minimum illumination level of 50 foot-candles. For batterypowered lighting sources, illumination levels shall be checked before and aftereach series of examinations, not exceeding 4 hours between checks.

6.1.3 Adequacy of this visual examination procedure shall be demonstrated at leastonce to confirm that the characters described in Section 5.1 can be viewed at thedistance specified in Section 6.1.1 under lighting specified in Section 6.1.2.

6.1.4 Wh'en performing remote VT-1C examination, the maximum direct examinationdistance specified in Section 6.1.1 may be increased and the minimumillumination requirements specified in Section 6.1.2 may be decreased, providedthat the conditions or indications for which the VT-1C examination is performedcan be detected at the chosen distance and illumination. The remote examinationparameters and equipment used shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of theResponsible Engineer and the AN It (at his option) and documented.

6.1.5 The concrete surfaces shall be free of dirt, contamination or other debris thatcould interfere with the examination. Any existing coatings on concrete surfacesneed not be removed prior to examination, unless directed by the ResponsibleEngineer.
