TESTIMONY OF C. EEMNETE McCOY 5
6 Q.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.
7 8
A.
My name is C. Kenneth McCoy.
9 10 Q.
WHAT POSITIONS HAVE YOU HELD WITHIN THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM 11 SINCE 1987?
12 13 A.
The first position that I held within the Southern system 14 was at Georgia Power Company as Vice President - Vogtle Project.
15 I was elected to that position by the Georgia Power Board of j
i 16 Directors on May 18, 1988 and I still hold that position today.
17 I also became Vice President - Vogtle Project of the Southern 18 Nuclear Operating Company (" Southern Nuclear") when it was 19 incorporated in December, 1990.
20 21 Q.
WHAT ARE YOUR PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS?
22 23 A.
A summary of my professional qualifications is attached 24 hereto as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
25 26 Q.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR TESTIMONY?
27 28 A.
The purpose of my testimony is to respond to Intervenor's 29 assertion that Georgia Power misled the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 30 Commission ("NRC") regarding the organization responsible for
1 v.
l s
1-licensed activities at Plant Vogtle after the formation of the l
2 SONOPCO Project in 1988.
i 3
4 Q.
NOULD YOU PLEASE SUBOEARIZE YOUR TESTIMONY?
1 5
l 6
A.
The essence of Intervenor's allegation, as I understand it, 7
is that Georgia Power misled the NRC by informing the NRC that
~
8 Mr. Mcdonald, Georgia Power's senior officer responsible for 9
nuclear operations, reported to Georgia Power's CEO.
I 10 understand that Intervenor maintains that Mr. Mcdonald reported f
11 to Mr. Farley, who was not a Georgia Power officer.
Intervenor i
12 is wrong.
13 I
14 With respect to the management of licensed activities at 15 Plant Vogtle, I reported to Mr. Hairston, Georgia Power's Senior 16 Vice President - Nuclear Operations; Mr. Hairston reported to Mr.
17 Mcdonald, Georgia Power's Executive Vice President - Nuclear 18 Operations; and Mr. Mcdonald reported to the Georgia Power CEO.
19 Mr. Robert Scherer was CEO of Georgia Power until December 1988, 20 when he was succeeded by Mr. Dahlberg.
Mr. Farley had no i
21 authority or control over, and Mr. Mcdonald did not report to Mr.
22 Farley concerning, the operation of Plant Vogtle.
23 24 Intervenor alleges that Georgia Power either' failed to 25 inform, or misrepresented to, the NRC what was the actual 26 organizational structure of the SONOPCO Project, in particular 1 1 i
t 1
with respect to Mr. Farley's role, on numerous occasions from 2
1988 through the present.
To the contrary, Georgia Power kept 3
the NRC informed of its plan to form Southern Nuclear as well as 4
the status of its progress towards that goal.
It is 5
inconceivable to me that the NRC representatives during this time 6
did not receive all the information they sought or that they were 7
unaware of the role of Mr. Farley.
8 9
Mr. Farley did have a role in guiding the formation of 10 Southern Nuclear and otherwise providing Georgia Power with l
11 support services as an officer of Southern Company Services, Inc.
12
("SCS").
Mr. Farley's role was not material to the operation of
'8 13 Plant Vogtle.
Mr. Farley's role in the formation of Southern 14 Nuclear and otherwise providing support services to Georgia Power 15 did not, in my view, constitute control over licensed activities.
16 While there was no perceived need to reflect this role in 17 licensing documents which depicted management and control, we 18 also made no attempt to keep his activities a secret from the 19 NRC.
Indeed, as Mr. Farley's testimony states, he himself met 20 with the NRC on at least two occasions to discuss the formation 21 of Southern Nuclear.
22 23 Intervenor's claims are based on weak and improper i
24 infe.rences, speculation or outright mischaracterizations.
For
{
25 example, Intervanor asserts that a tape recording of a statement 26 I made in 1990 supports his claim that Mr. Farley " created" or,
t t
1
" directed" the outage philosophy fcr Plant Vogtle.
This is 2
absurd.
My statement says nothing more than the outage schedule 3
philosophy was discussed with a number of high ranking 4
individuals, including Mr. Farley.

Q.
WHY DIDN'T THE 1988 AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 1.4.1.2 OF THE 7
1988 PLANT VOGTLE FSAR DISCUSS THE SONOPCO PROJECT AND MR.
i 8
FARLEY'S INVOLVEMENT?
9 10 A.
First, Section 1 of the FSAR is a general section, and 11 Section 1.4.1.2 is just a very general description of the 12 licensee's corporate structure.
Specific information on the i
13 operating organization is found in Chapter 13.
Second, on July j
14 25, 1988, Georgia Power personnel met with NRC Region II staff to 7
15 discuss Georgia Power's nuclear plant operations organization and 16 the planned reorganization.
Mr. Hairston's testimony discusses 17 this meeting in more detail.
The NRC's August 11, 1988 letter 18 summarizing the meeting indicated the NRC was being kept apprised 19 of Georgia Power's nuclear operations organization and the 20 proposed project concept.
21 22 With respect to Mr. Farley, in 1988, he was President of 23 Alabama Power Company.
Although he had been asked by Mr. Addison 24 to devote a portion of his time to guiding the formation of 25 Southern Nuclear (see Stipulations Exhibit No. 10), he had no 26 authority or control over licensed activities at Plant Vogtle.
d
-4
1 Mr. Farley's role was not discussed because it was not material i
2 to the focus of the FSAR, i.e.,
Plant Vogtle licensed activities.
3 4
Q.
WHY DIDN'T THE NOVEMBER 1988 AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 13 OF THE I
5 PLANT VOGTLE FSAR INDICATE THAT MR. MCDONALD REPOLTED TO MR.
6 FARLEY?
t 7
l 8
A.
As President of Alabama Power, Mr. Farley was responsible j
9 for Alabama Power's Plant Farley at the time.
Mr. Mcdonald did 10 report to Mr. Farley concerning the operation of Plant Farley.
l 11 Mr. Mcdonald reported to the Georgia Power CEO concerning the
{
l 12 operation of Plants Hatch and Vogtle.
Mr. Robert Scherer was CEO 13 of Georgia Power until December 1988, when he was succeeded by 14 Mr. Dahlberg.
Mr. Farley had no authority or control over, and l
15 Mr. Mcdonald did not report to Mr. Farley concerning, the 16 operation of Plant Vogtle.
I i
17 i
18 Q.
AT THAT TIME IN NOVEMBER, 1988 WAS THE GEORGIA POWER 19 PRESIDENT IN THE PLANT VOGTLE MANAGEMENT CHAIN?
20 21 A.
Between June 1, 1988 and December 14, 1988, according to 22 Board of Director minutes, Mr. Scherer was Georgia Power's CEO 23 while Mr. Dahlberg was Georgia Power's President.
During that 24 time, Mr. Mcdonald reported to Georgia Power's CEO, but not its 25 President, with respect to the operation of Plant Vogtle.
I i
26 personally observed Mr. Scherer's role in nuclear operations l
l 1 _
~
=
1 oversight.
Not only did he interview me for the Vice President's 2
position over Plant Vogtle, but he also met with me when I was 3
hired and laid out his expectations for my performance.
4 1
5 Mr. Dahlberg succeeded Mr. Scherer as CEO in December 1988, 6
and he retained his position as President.
From that point in 7
December 1988 until Mr. Mcdonald's retirement in June, 1993, Mr.
8 Mcdonald reported to Mr. Dahlberg, Georgia Power's President and 9
CEO, concerning the operation of Plant Vogtle.
10 i
11 Q.
DID YOU HAVE OCCASION TO OBSERVE THE RELATIONSHIP OF MR.
12 MCDONALD TO MR. DAHLBERG DURING THE TIME THAT THEY WERE GEORGIA i
13 POWER OFFICERS?
14 15 A.
Yes.
16 17 Q.
WHAT WAS THAT RELATIONSHIP?
18 19 A.
I directly observed the actions of Mr. Dahlberg, as well the 20 Georgia Power Board of Directors, in providing managesent 21 oversight to Plant Vogtle.
Mr. Mcdonald was the highest ranking 22 officer of Georgia Power whose responsibilities were exclusively 23 nuclear-related.
Mr. Dahlberg had Company-wide responsibilities, 24 including matters related to the fossil and hydropower 25 facilities, the Georgia Public Service Commission and co-owner 26 relationships.
As with nuclear matters, he delegated 1
responsibility for various areas to dedicated officers.
- However, 2
he kept abreast of nuclear matters, including the performance of 3
the plants and the problems facing them.
Based on my experience 4
at INPO -- where I became familar with the degree of involvement 5
of utility CEOs in their nuclear plants -- I know that the 6
information provided to him and his input on nuclear operations 7
matters was greater than the typical CEO involvement.
8 1
9 Mr. Mcdonald was more intimately involved in day to day 10 oversight of nuclear operations, as would be expected given his 11 positions.
Nonetheless, he implemented the policies set by Mr.
12 Dahlberg.
For example, I recall working on nuclear operation and i
13 maintenance budgets with a specific cost control goal set by Mr.
14 Dahlberg.
I also recall his periodic review of Vogtle's " plant 15 problems list" and our efforts aimed at resolving them.
My 16 personal impressions were that Mr. Dahlberg was a " quick study" 17 who grasped the significance and meaning of information provided 18 to him, and someone who would ask questions if he did not 19 understand or if he felt that he could contribute an observation 20 or insight into our efforts.
He took a particular interest in 21 his employees and their morale, and showed concern about events 22 which could adversely affect them, such as individual hardship 23 1 I
e 1
Q.
DID THE GEORGIA POWER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT - NUCLEAR 2
OPERATIONS HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TECHNICAL AND 3
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY SCS?
4 i
5 A.
Yes.
These SCS Services, under the direction of Mr. Louis 6
Long, Vice President of Technical Services, and Mr. Charles 7
McCrary, Vice President of Administrative Services, were provided 8
by SCS to Georgia Power pursuant to the January 1, 1984 services 9
agreement between those companies.
While Messrs. Long and t
i 10 McCrary had a nominal reporting responsibility within SCS to 11 higher SCS officers concerning SCS administrative matters, they 12 reported functionally to Mr. Mcdonald, Georgia Power's Executive 13 Vice President - Nuclear with respect to the particular services 14 they were performing for Georgia Power.
This arrangement was 15 formalized by a letter agreement between Mr. Mcdonald and Mr.
i 16 Allen Franklin, then President of SCS, dated April 24, 1989.
I 17 i
18 Q.
DURING THE DECEMBER 1988 NRC INSPECTION OF THE BIRMINGHAM 19 CORPORATE OFFICES, WAS THE NRC INFORMED OF THE ROLE OF MR.
20 FARLEY?
21 l
22 A.
I don't recall.
I am sure the NRC was aware of Mr. Farley's 23 role as President of Alabama and it is likely that the NRC was 24 told that Mr. Mcdonald reported to Mr. Farley concerning the 25 operation of Alabama Power's Plant Farley.
Of course the NRC was 26 made aware of this reporting relationship earlier in 1988.
I i
1 don't know whether the NRC was advised at that time of Mr.
2 Farley's role in guiding the formation of the new nuclear i
3 operating company.
As discussed above, his role was not material 4
to the operation of Plant Vogtle and I don't believe Georgia 5
Power perceived any obligation to formally advise the NRC of his 6
role, even though I also do not believe that his role was kept 7
secret.
Certainly all the "SONOPCO Project" employees knew about 8
Mr. Farley's involvement in guiding the formation of the proposed 9
subsidiary as a result of broadly-disseminated, internal 10 announcements.
11 12 Q.
WHY DID THE CHART THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE NRC DURING THE 8
13 DECEMBER 1988 INSPECTION ENTITLED "SONOPCO PROJECT ORGANIZATION" 14 NOT IDENTIFY MR. FARLEY?
15 16 A.
Again, Mr. Farley was President of Alabama Power.
At that 17 particular time, he had no role in providing services to Georgia 18 Power in support of the operation of Plant Vogtle or Plant Hatch.
19 He had been asked to guide, and was guiding, the formation of the 20 new operating company.
Although I believe the NRC was aware of 21.
his role, there was no reason for him to be identified on a 22 Georgia Power organizational chart depicting the reporting 23 responsibilities with respect to operation of Plants Hatch or 24 Vogtle; he had no such responsibilities.
25 '
1
1 Q.
DID THE NOVEMBER 1988 AMENDMENTS TO THE VOGTLE FSAR INCLUDE-2 THE PROJECT CONCEPT CHANGES TO THE GPC ORGANIZATION?
3 4
A.
Yes.
In fact, an attachment to the transmittal letter 5
which highlighted the reasons for substantive changes included 6-Item 41, " Changes to reflect revised corporate and plant 7
organizations" associated with Chapters 13.1 and 17.2 of the 8
FSAR.
Chapter 13.1 laid out the changes in the corporate 9
management for the Vogtle Project, such as the officer positions 10 of Mr. Mcdonald in both Georgia Power and Alabama Power and the 11 dedicated positions of the General Manager - Nuclear Support, 12 Manager - Nuclear Administration and Manager-Engineering and 13 Licensing for Vogtle.
Relevant portions of Chapter 13.1 of these 14 Amendments are attached as Exhibit B.
15 16 Q.
DID THE NOVEMBER 1988 AMENDMENTS TO THE VOGTLE FSAR INCLUDE 17 A STATEMENT THAT SCS TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT I
18 SERVICES WERE BEING PROVIDED TO GEORGIA POWER?
19 20 A.
Yes.
As a primary example, Section 13.1.1.1.3, entitled 21
" Technical support for Operations" stated, in part:
22 23 Technical support for the operation of GPC's nuclear 24 power plants has been established and is funcitioning i
25 for its Hatch Nuclear Plant.
Similar support 26 capability will be available through the joint efforts 27 of GPC nuclear support (Vogtle) general office staff 28 and GPC's architect-engineer / service company, Southern 29 Company Services (SCS).
30 i
1 The section, and following sections, detail the specific SCS 2
accountabilities.
Section 13.1.1.2.2.1, entitled " Executive Vice 3
President-Nuclear Operations," explains that Mr. Mcdonald's 4
position was responsible for the technical and administrative 5
support activities provided by SCS.
6 7
Q.
WHY DIDN'T THE 1990 AMENDMENTS TO THE FSAR INDICATE THAT 8
MCDONALD REPORTED TO FARLEY?
9 10 A.
With respect to licensed activities of Plant Vogtle, as I 11 have stated earlier, Mr. Mcdonald reported to the President and 12 CEO of Georgia Power, Mr. Dahlberg, during this time frame.
In 13 1990, Mr. Farley was Executive Vice President - Nuclear of The 14 Southern Company and SCS.
His role in the SONOPCO Project was to 15 guide the formation of the new operating company and to provide 16 generic support on an industry basis.
As he has described in his 17 testimony, his relationship with Mr. Mcdonald was not one of 18 reporting in connection with the operation of Plant Vogtit-,
He 19 was providing support services as an SCS officer, pursuant to the 20 letter agreement between Mr. Mcdonald and Mr. Franklin, dated 21 April 24, 1989.
22 l --
1 Q.
WHY DIDN'T THE 1990 AMENDMENTS INDICATE THAT THE 2
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND TECHNICAL SERVICES VPs REPORTED TO A 3
JOINT OFFICE OF CEO?
4 5
A.
To my knowledge, there wasn't any " joint office of the CEO" 6
with respect to operations or licensed activities.
I an aware 7
that Mr. Farley described his relationship with Mr. Mcdonald as i
8 an informal office of the chief executive of SONOPCO Project with 9
respect only to administrative matters unrelated to operations.
10 This informal arrangement had nothing to do with the operation of 11 Plant Vogtle or any other of Mr. Mcdonald's responsibilities as 12 Georgia Power Executive Vice President - Nuclear.
The reporting 13 relationship between Mr. Mcdonald and Messrs. McCrary and Long 14 was, as I've described it earlier in my testimony, not a 15 functional one when it came to licensed activities.
Mr. Farley's 16 relationship with them was a result of their having a common 17 employer, SCS.
For some administrative matters unrelated to l
18 licensed activities, Mr. Farley worked with Mr. McCrary in 19 providing support services under the SCS-GPC agreement.
20
{
21 Q.
DOES THE 1991 AMENDMENT TO SECTION 13.1.1.2.1.1 OF THE FSAR l
22 ACCURATELY DEPICT THE REPORTING RELATIONSHIP OF GEORGIA POWER'S 23 EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT - NUCLEAR WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS 24 CONCERNING PLANT VOGTLE BUDGETS AND GPC PERSONNEL?
25 26 A.
Yes. -.
p....
p 1
O.
WHY DID FIG. 13.1.1-1 DENOTE THAT GEORGIA POWER'S EXECUTIVE 2
VICE PRESIDENT - NUCLEAR REPORTED TO THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF SNC 3
WITH RESPECT TO SNC MATTERS ONLY?
4 5
A.
Georgia Power's Executive Vice President - Nuclear, Mr.
I 6
Mcdonald, was also an officer of Sout'nern Nuclear at the time.
7 (He was also an officer of Alabama Power until after the 8
November, 1991 Plant Farley license amendments).
Therefore, with 9
respect to Southern Nuclear matters only, he reported to Southern 10 Nuclear's CEO, Mr. Farley.
Southern Nuclear' matters included the i
11 administration of Southern Nuclear personnel, who were providing 12 support services to Georgia Power auch like SCS provided support i
13 services previously.
However, Mr. Farley's Southern Nuclear 14 position did not include management activities which were related 15 to the operation of Plant Vogtle or to other Georgia Power 16 matters such as personnal matters affecting Georgia Power i
17 employees.
18 19 Q.
WAS THE APRIL 1, 1991 RESPONSE TO THE 2.206 PETITION 20 ACCURATE IN STATING THAT MR. FARLEY DID NOT CREATE THE OUTAGE 21 PHILOSOPHY OF PLANT VOGTLE AND THAT MR. McCOY DID NOT RECALL ANY 22 STATEMENT HE MADE WITH REFERENCE TO MR. FARLEY?
23 24 A.
Yes.

l
=
1-Q.
DID YOU INFORM PLANT VOGTLE PERSONNEL IN 1990 THAT MR.
[
2 FARLEY DIRECTED THE OUTAGE PHII4 SOPHY FOR PLANT VOGTLE?
3 4
A.
No.
As an accurate partial transcript of the tape recording 5
made by Mr. Mosbaugh reflects, the statement I made simply refers 6
to discussions among the upper level managers working within the 7
SONOPCO Project.
Mr. Farley was an officer of SCS working in a a
support role within the SONOPCO Project.
His thoughts on the 9
Eatter were of interest to Georgia Power managers.
However, Mr.
10 Farley did not direct what the outage philosophy would be for
't Plant Vogtle, and I did not make any such statement that he did.
12 Intervenor has mischaracterized my statements and taken them out l
s 13 of context.
Neither did I say, nor can my words be fairly 14 characterized as implying, that Mr. Farley set, established or is created the outage scheduling philosophy.
In actuality, my l
16 recollection is that this philosophy of outage scheduling was 17 developed and implemented by Mr. Mcdonald earlier at Plant 18 Farley.
19 20 While some of the discussion on Tape 236 of August 6, 1990 21 is inaudible, the excerpt does not sug est that Mr. Farley 22 directed an outage philosophy.
I have listened to a copy of that l
23 tape.
The balance of the conversation following the excerpt 24 which Intervenor has provided the Licensing Board is relevant and 25 material.
The further discussion indicates that I am confirmina 26 with the plant managers what my expectations had always been and
- 14
I what they already knew.
In the balance of the discussion, I 2
state that " optimum" scheduling is consistent with our existing 3
philosophy at Plant Vogtle in trying to operate to excellence, 4
and that we're building schedules and they are being reviewed 5
consistent with an " optimum" approach.
The outage and planning l
6 manager verified that the schedule was consistent with that 7
approach.
8 9
Q.
WAS THE JULY 25, 1989 PRESENTATION TO THE NRC INACCURATE 10 BECAUSC THE NRC WAS NOT INFORMED OF MR. FARLEY'S " MANAGEMENT 11 RESPONSIBILITY OVER PLANT VOGTLE?"
12 13 A.
No.
As I have already explained, Mr. Farley had no
.r 14 management responsibility over Plant Vogtle.
At that time Mr.
15 Farley had become Executive Vice President of The Southern 16 Company and SCS.
His role was one of support pursuant to the 17 April 24, 1989 letter agreement between Mr. Mcdonald and Mr.
18 Franklin.
The services Mr. Farley performed included guiding the 19 formation of the new operating company and providing generic 20 support on an industry basis.
In my view, these services were 21 not material to the operation of Plant Vogtle or Plant Hatch.
22 Again, I believe the NRC was aware of Mr. Farley's role in 23 guiding the formation of Southern Nuclear.
24 i i
1 Q.
WHY WASN'T THE SOUTHERN COMPANY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL DESCRIBED 2
IN THE VOGTLE FSAR?
3 4
A.
The Southern company Management Council is not described in 5
the Vogtle FSAR because it is not the licensee of Plant Vogtle or 6
an organization that had any responsibilities in connection with 7
the operation of Plant Vogtle.
I understand that the Southern 8
Company Management Council reviewed Georgia Power's budget in 9
connection with The Southern Company's obligations towards its 10 stockholders.
However, I don't consider that activity as one 11 which should have been described in the Vogtle FSAR.
12 1
e 13 Q.
WAS THE APRIL 1, 1991 RESPONSE TO THE 2.206 PETITION 14 ACCURATE IN STATING THAT THE SELECTION PROCESS USED FOR THE 15 STAFFING OF THE SONOPCO PROJECT WAS NOT COMPLETED DURING A TWO-16 DAY MEETING OF SONOPCO PROJECT EXECUTIVES IN 1988?
17 18 A.
Yes.
While a number of individuals were identified as the 19 most likely candidates for positions within the SONOPCO Project l
20 during that two, or maybe three, day meeting, the selection l
21 process actually continued for some period beyond that meeting, 22 probably several weaks.
l 23 I
i _
1 Q.
WAS THE APRIL 1, 1991 RESPONSE TO THE 2.206 PETITION 2
ACCURATE IN STATING "INTERVENOR'S CLAIM THAT VOGTLE PROJECT 3
MANAGEMENT ASSUMES MR. FARLEY AND NOT MR. DAHLBERG CONTROLS 4
VOGTLE'S OPERATION IS WITHOUT MERIT?"
5 i
6 A.
Yes.
I can unequivocally state that the Vogtle Project 7
management, which included myself, Mr. Shipman, Mr. Hairston, and 8
Mr. Mcdonald did not assume that Mr. Farley controlled the 9
operation of Plant Vogtle.
We were very much aware that Mr.
10 Mcdonald was the senior nuclear executive in control of Plant 11 Vogtle and that, in the case of licensed activities at Plant 12 Vogtle and Georgia Power matters in general, he reported solely j
l 13 to Mr. Dahlberg, Georgia Power's President and CEO.
14 15 With respect to other employees working within the Vogtle 16 Project, I am sure that on occasion employees would casually 17 refer to "SONOPCO" interchangeably with " Georgia Power" or the 18
" corporate' office."
But I am confident that they understood Mr.
19 Farley had no responsibilities in connection with the operation 20 of Plant Vogtle.
21 22 Q.
PiID MR. FARLEY PROVIDE MANAGEMENT DIRECTION OR OVERSIGHT 23 CONCERNING PLANT VOGTLE OPERATIONS IN THE WEEKLY MONDAY MORNING 24 STAFF MEETINGS HELD IN BIRMINGHAM?
25 26 A.
No. - -
e i
1 Q.
WHAT WAS THE NATURE OF HIS PARTICIPATION IN THOSE MEETINGS?
2 3
A.
Mr. Farley was kept informed of the developments concerning 4
the three nuclear plants on The Southern Company system.
It was 5
clear to me, and I believe everyone in those meetings, that Mr.
6 Farley was not there to give direction concerning the operation 7-of any plant.
As I have earlier described, Mr. Farley was 8
providing support services to the SONOPCO Project at the time.
9 Further, he was the prospective CEO of Southern Nuclear and l
10 needed to keep relatively current on developments concerning the 11 plants in order to be knowledgeable when the time came for him to 12 take on responsibility for operation of the plants.
13 14 Q.
IS REVISION NO. 12 (APRIL 1990) OF THE CORPORATE EMERGENCY 15 PLAN ACCURATE IN OMITTING ANY ROLE FOR MR. FARLEY AND IN OMITTING 16 THE FACT THAT SCS AND THE SOUTHERN COMPANY PROVIDED MANAGEMENT 17 SERVICES?
18 19 A.
Yes, the revision is accurate.
The Corporate Emergency 20 organization in effect in April 1990 is described in Section B of 21 Revision Nc.12 of the Corporate Emergency Plan for Vogtle 22 Electric Generating Plant.
Mr. Farley is not described in that 23 section because he did not have a role in the Corporate Emergency 24 Organization. In contrast, some of the support services provided 25 by other SCS employees did fill positions within the Corporate 26 Emergency Organization, such as the Radiological Assessment i l
1 Manager, the back-up Emergency Communications Director, and the 2
Company Spokesperson.
333, gig, Sections B.7, B.9 and B.10 of 3
Revision 12 of the Corporate Emergency Plan.
These sections are 4
attached hereto as Exhibit C.
5 6
Q.
WERE MESSRS. MCDONALD, HAIRSTON AND McCOY CONTROLLED FROM A 7
PRACTICAL STANDPOINT BY MR. FARLEY?
8 9
A.
No.
Speaking for myself, and based on my observations of 10 Mr. Farley's interaction with Messrs. Mcdonald and Hairston, 11 there was no attempt by Mr. Farley to control the operation of 12 Plant Vogtle.
Furthermore, the line management authority over i
13 licensed activities was very clear to us all -- through me to Mr.
14 Hairston, Mr. Mcdonald and Mr. Dahlberg.
I recall that we were 15 sensitive to the fact that Mr. Farley was not an officer of 16 Georgia Power and, therefore, would not be involved in licensed 17 activities.
In my opinion we faithfully complied with that 18 requirement.
I am not aware of any instance when Mr. Farley gave 19 direction to any officer or employes of Georgia Power with 20 respect to Plant Vogtle's licensed activities, such as the 21 processes performed at the plant, the operating procedures 22 employed at the plant, the use of the plant or its equipment, or 23 the manner in which the plant would comply with its NRC 24 commitments, including Technical Specifications.
25 1
Q.
ONCE MR. FARLEY BECAME PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN NUCLEAR, WAS 2
THE " MANAGEMENT SUPPORT ROLE" IN THE CORPORATE EMERGENCY PLAN 3
CHANGED TO IDENTIFY SOUTHERN NUCLEAR AND THEREBY ELIMINATE 4
GEORGIA POWER UNDER THE PLAN (PAGE B-9 OF REVISION 14)?
5 6
A.
Yes.
In Revision 14 to the Emergency Plan, which was 7
submitted in December, 1391, the subsection entitled "OTHER 8
CORPORATE PERSONNEL" was changed from " actions to be taken by 9
GPC's Nuclear Operations Department" to " actions to be taken by 10 Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC)" in the event of an 11 emergency.
This change and similar changes simply reflected the 12 transfer of those individuals who would be responsible for 13 corporate emergency response functions from Georgia Power to 14 Southern Nuclear after Southern Nuclear's incorporation.
The 15 revision did not affect the roles and responsibilities of the 16 various individuals; it was simply more accurate.
As another 17 example, later revisions more accurately referred to "GPC's" 18 LMergency Communications Manager and "GPC's" Public Information 19 Director. Egg, e.g.,
Revision 18 of May, 1993 and Revision 19 of 20 January, 1994.
These individuals were not tranferred to Southern 21 Nuclear on January 1, 1991.

Q.
DID GEORGIA POWER KEEP THE NRC INFORMED OF DEVELOPMENTS 2
CONCERNING THE FORMATION OF SOUTHERN NUCLEAR?
3 4
A.
Yes.
As Mr. Hairston states in his testimony, there were 5
many contacts with the NRC concerning the formation of Southern r
6 Nuclear.
I was personally involved in most of those 7
communications from the time I became an officer of Georgia 8
Power, including the July 25, 1988 meeting, the December 19, 1988 9
management meeting and inspection, the July 25, 1989 meeting, the 10 January 11, 1991 meeting, all of which are described in Mr.
11 Hairston's testimony.
12 13 I was further responsible for the submittals to the NRC of 14 amendments and updates to the Vogtle FSAR, including those dated 15 November 23, 1988, March 28, 1990 and March 28, 1991.
333 16 Stipulation Nos. 13, 17 and 22.
17 18 I also had frequent contacts with NRC's Region II personnel, 19 especially Mr. Ken Brockman.
I viewed Ken as my counterpart, and 20 with primary NRC " management" responsibility for Plant Vogtle.
I 21 attempted to keep him informed of developments affecting Plant 22 Vogtle, with a concerted effort to avoid him being "suprised" by 23 information obtained by his co-workers in the NRC.
If Ken had a l
24 question or concern, he would call me, including my home.
This 25 was appropriate and, frankly, appreciated, because I was ensuring t
26 that we addressed issues of concern to the agency. l l

1 Q.
WERE GEORGIA POWER'S STATEMENTS TO THE NRC OPEN AND HONEST 3
2 CONCERNING WHO WAS IN CONTROL 3F PLANT VOGTLE AND WHAT THE ROLE 3
WAS OF MR. FARLEY?
4 5
A.
Yes.
In my opinion, Georgia Power always has been 6
responsive to the NRC's questions concerning the organization and 7
who was in control of licensed activities at Vogtle.
As far as I 8
an aware, the company always provided information it believed to 9
be accurate at the time it was provided.
In the event that the 10 Company determined material communications were inaccurate,.it 11 has taken appropriate action to so inform the NRC promptly and to 12 correct the inaccuracies.
I 13 14 As far as the activities of Mr. Farley are concerned, I 15 believe that the NRC was generally aware of Mr. Farley's role, 16 aven though it was not material to the operation of Plant Vogtle.
17 In my opinion, Mr. Farley's activities never constituted control 18 over the licenses for Plant Vogtle or direction of licensed 19 activities.

1 Q.
DID MR. MCDONALD INSTRUCT "SONOPCO PROJECT" PERSONNEL TO NOT 2
COOPERATE IN SUPPLYING TESTIMONY OR PROVIDING DATA FOR 3
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS DURING THE 1989 GEORGIA POWER 4
GENERAL RATE CASE?
5 6
A.
Yes, initially he did, until he understood the direction and 7
support desired by Mr. Dahlberg.
Early on in our dealings with 8
the Public Service Commission staff's consultant (GDS Associates) 9 we realized that the consultant was looking at nuclear 10 performance standards for Georgia Power's nuclear plants.
Mr.
i 11 Mcdonald adamantly opposed nuclear performance standards, as 12 contrasted with the industry's use of performance indicators.
He t
13 had several reasons for his opposition, including safety reasons 14 and the NRC's apparent concern at the time about such financial I
15 standards.
At some point Mr. Mcdonald indicated that nuclear 16 operations personnel under his direction in Birmingham would not
[
17 support the development by non-nuclear employees in Atlanta of an 18
" alternative" standard, that is, an alternate to what might be 19 proposed by the consultant.
I was told that later, in a meeting 20 in Atlanta in early August, 1989, Mr. Dahlberg and Mr. Mcdonald 21 discussed the performance standard issue, and Mr. Mcdonald agreed 22 to assist those in Atlanta in addressing any proposed standard.
23 24 Following that early August meeting, Mr. Thomas Beckham, the 25 Vice President of Plant Hatch, and I worked on and helped develop 36 rebuttal testimony which opposed the imposition of performance
- 23
s I
1 standards on Georgia Power.
Our position was based on the PSC's i
2 need for such standards in light of the performance of the two 3
plants, their potential adverse safety impact, the NRC's negative 4
perception of such programs, and GDS's proposed methodology.
We 5
also contrasted performance indicators with performance 6
standards, and attempted to explain that Georgia Power's 7
organizational goals were weighed towards safety, not on-line 8
time.
Mr. Michael Barker and others on the Vogtle and Hatch 9
Projects assisted us in preparing and presenting that testimony.
10 11 Mr. George Fitzpatrick, a Georgia Power consultant, worked 12 on the development of an alternative performance standard during 13 this time.
As events developed later in August, 1989, the 14 standard proposed by the PSC staff consultant was not as radical 15 as some standards proposed in other jurisdictions.
In fact, the l
16 GDS standard was largely based on a " capacity factor" standard 17 presented by Mr. Fitzpatrick in another proceeding for the Palo r
18 Verde nuclear plant.
Consequently, Mr. Fitzpatrick's rebuttal 19 testimony critiqued the GDS standard, principally by echoing the 20 potential problems of such standards as testified to by Mr.
I 21 Beckham and me, and suggested revisions or refinements to the GDS 22 standard.
Mr. Barker and others reviewed the proposed GDS 23 standard, I believe, for technical accuracy, such as the data 24 used by GDS and assumptions of plant characteristics, and their 35 work product was used, at least in part, in Mr. Fitzpatrick's 26 final testimony.
- 24
1 From my perspective, after the early August meeting Mr.
2 Beckham and I, as well as our Projects, supported Mr. Dahlberg's 3
selected approach for addressing the nuclear performance standard 4
proposed by the Public Service Commission consultant.
