[Global] [EXTERNAL] Re: Site ALARA Committee

Tue Jul 8 18:18:54 EDT 2025

Our SAC meets quarterly at a minimum. Below is our procedure guidance on membership and quorum requirements.

The Chairperson of the SAC is the Plant Manager (primary), or the Site VP.
a. The chairperson may appoint a Department Manager to serve as
alternate (typically, Engineering or Operations).

Committee members are management level personnel knowledgeable of their
respective department activities with sufficient authority to make or obtain
commitments from the department they represent. Membership includes the
following positions:
• Plant Manager
• Site Vice President
• Station Sciences Manager
• RP Supervisor
• Engineering General Manager
• Maintenance Manager
• Operations Manager
• Nuclear Projects Manager (when requested)
• Outage Manager (when requested)
• Training Manager (when requested)
• Superintendent Reactor Services (when at site or when requested)
• Additional members, as approved by the SAC, may be included.
• Fleet ALARA and ALARA staff

The following six positions are required to meet quorum.
• SAC chairperson
• Station Sciences Manager
• General Manager Engineering
• Maintenance Manager
• Operations Manager
• RP Supervisor
• Of these, 50% may be designees to meet quorum, unless approved by
SAC chairperson and approval included in minutes.

Special ALARA committee meetings (Challenge Board and emergent) require
three quorum members, which include the SAC chairperson (or designee), and
any other two members (or designee).

Prior to declaring a meeting in session, SAC chairperson evaluates personnel
representing required departments to ensure the requisite skill set is available to
appropriately represent and challenge ALARA initiatives.

Quorum members may vote on agenda items.
a. A majority of votes is required to pass or dismiss items that require
approval.
b. SAC chairperson may cast deciding vote, if vote is tied.
c. During emergent situations, the SAC chairperson may appoint a
sub-committee consisting of no less than two voting positions to speak for
the entire committee.
d. As part of the next regular meeting, the full committee will conduct a
review and critique of any work approved by the sub-committee.
e. Electronic voting is allowed to approve ALARA Plans or approval of items
requiring follow-up information.

[CAUTION–EXTERNAL] This email originated from outside ENEC. Do not click on any links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

We have just gone through a major reorganization and several positions that were voting members of our SAC have been either eliminated, combined, or moved to corporate. We have now gone from 13 possible voting positions down to eight. Our quorum requires at least five, with only two being alternates. We are currently revising our procedure to accommodate these changes, but we wanted to see what the industry standard is. A few questions for the group:

  1.  What positions and how many members are required for quorum at your SAC meetings?
  2.  How many alternates are allowed for voting members not present?
  3.  What positions can act as the chairperson?
  4.  Is your SAC process and requirements driven by procedure? If so, can you share it with the group for comparisons?
