EFCOG STARTUP AND COMMISSIONING TASK TEAM INTRODUCTION Frank McCoy February 28, 2017

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE BS – The Citadel, 1968 MS Physics – Georgia Institute of Technology, 1971 Charleston Naval Shipyard – 14 years Chief Refueling Engineer for reactor disassembly, fuel exchange, and reassembly of naval nuclear powered submarine reactors. Also served as the Shipyard representative of the Joint Refueling Group. Conducted initial criticality, low power, power ascension, and reactor compartment radiological shielding integrity testing. Project Manager for a multi-million dollar effort to convert the shipyard’s infrastructure and equipment for advanced-core nuclear submarine refueling.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region II – 5 years Reactor Inspector for operational programs (operations, training and qualification, procedures, maintenance and testing). Assigned to NRC Headquarters Office of Special Projects as Assistant Director – Inspection and Enforcement for regulatory oversight of recovery and startup of five watch-listed TVA reactors. NRC Startup Manager overseeing readiness preparations for initial startup and operation of Sequoyah Unit 2; including additional preoperational and startup testing and achievement and review of operational readiness. Led and/or participated in NRC Operational Readiness Review of NTOLs Catawba, Vogtle, and Sheron Harris to determine acceptability for Operational Licensing.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE US Department of Energy – 10 years Deputy Manager – Savannah River Operations Office Special Assistant to Under Secretary of Energy for leading the DOE complex wide effort to establish and implement Integrated Safety Management across the complex. Director Savannah River Special Projects Office overseeing plant, program, people preparations to achieve readiness for startup and operation of the Savannah River K Reactor; including additional preoperational and startup testing and achievement of operational readiness review.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE AECOM N&E Technical Services – 17 years Chief Nuclear Safety Officer supporting many high hazard sites and projects in the areas of nuclear safety; incident and accident investigation; peer review; operational readiness review; safety culture and SCWE; facility management and operations; Integrated Safety Management, ESH, and Safety Management Programs. Led Phase I and Phase II ISM Contractor Verifications at almost all DOE sites and projects. Led effort to upgrade equipment, personnel and programs at Nevada Test Site Area 5 in order to achieve readiness for nuclear operation in compliance with nuclear facility requirements. Led many CORRs/CRAs including: WIPP post-accident resumption of waste emplacement; LANL plutonium pit machining operations; LANL plutonium pit flow sheet operations; ICP IWTU Startup; ORNL HFIR Startup – post cold source modification; BNL HFBR decommissioning Startup; Hanford River Corridor Project Building 324 stabilization Startup; SPRU Notice to Proceed with decommissioning; SPRU intrusive decontamination and decommissioning resumption.

POTENTIAL GAPS, NEEDS, CONCERNS Review of existing DOE directives and standards indicates a need for additional guidance, pertinent to DOE’s activities and experiences, within the directives and standards system for startup, commissioning, and achievement of readiness. Consideration should be given to address nuclear projects separately from non nuclear projects given the technical, safety, and regulatory complexities involved with many of the nuclear projects.
