The organizational chart shows only those positions which would. 'provide engineering management, logistic support, coordination with government agencies, communication networks and overall accident response coordination. There are a number of other functions reporting to each of the positions shown on the chart which do not directly relate to emergency response re sources. We have labeled eight of the positions on the organiza tional chart to show areas of activities provided by the various management functions for emergency response needs. Each of the eight management positions are responsible for many other activi ties' on a day-to-day basis, beyond those specific ones that have been labeled for the purposes of this submittal. Each of the officers shown on the organizational chart has authority to establish the necessary priorities and to allocate personnel resources from their respective areas of responsibility. In addition, cross-allocation of personnel can be accomplished through coordination by the Executive Vice-President. In order to provide a reasonably timely response to this NRC request, it is necessary to make use of existing information which does not necessarily follow the format suggested by the NRC. The various organizational diagrams provided throughout this submittal are. the latest ones that have been issued for each individual functional area. To describe the functions, responsibilities, and authority associated with each of the management resource positions, we we have utilized existing Mission Statements which are included in section 1.3. Also, a single form was utilized to collect information on the educa tional and experience background for all individuals covered by this submittal. 1.1-1 PRES t 0 -- ,j T V viCer= Pjg55,;l7Ed EXc-CULT) S.V.e -PRG.SO140-Z vice A5P-i7 I &Aj j C GOVeCAN 4 e.7 L/ASOAJ -C.,G~~Vf--oeY PEgQ,141rS .1_____ VIC- P)RESIOCAO7 V I C ~P'A &, IOE:A'-# PcowaSTEPpoPEcr~TioAj AL A AjT E'.'

  • Human Factors and Ergonomics Society: Stories from the First 50 Years
    THE HUMAN FACTORS AND ERGONOMICS SOCIETY: STORIES FROM THE FIRST 50 YEARS Edited By Jack Stuster P.O. Box 1369 Santa Monica, CA 90406-1369 USA Copyright © 2006 by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Inc. All rights reserved. PREFACE One of the great moves of my 47-year career in human factors was asking my colleague, Jack Stuster, to collect and document stories from the first 50 years of the Society. His many pleasurable interactions with those who contributed to this effort and the wonderful stories that resulted turned out to be, according to Jack, truly a labor of love. Moreover, I think that whatever time you spend with these stories will be enjoyable for the insights and humor they contain, and for the understanding and appreciation they provide of our profession. The stories are still coming in even as I write this. Jack had several new stories waiting for him as he returned to work at the start of the week; Stu Parsons just called to make sure that an additional story he rounded up will make it in before the publica- tion deadline. Although it took some initial effort to get members thinking about their professional and Society experiences, and still more effort to convince them that their stories would be of sufficient interest to document in a Society publication, once the dam broke, the stories flooded in. So, this document has one editor and many authors. Some have written about the formation and early years of the profession and the Society. Fortunately, these reports come from members who were there and can provide first-hand accounts of these significant events.

  • Navy Nuclear-Powered Surface Ships: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress
    Navy Nuclear-Powered Surface Ships: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs September 29, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33946 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Navy Nuclear-Powered Surface Ships: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress Summary All of the Navy’s aircraft carriers, but none of its other surface ships, are nuclear-powered. Some Members of Congress, particularly on the House Armed Services Committee, have expressed interest in expanding the use of nuclear power to a wider array of Navy surface ships, starting with the CG(X), a planned new cruiser that the Navy had wanted to start procuring around FY2017. Section 1012 of the FY2008 Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 4986/P.L. 110-181 of January 28, 2008) makes it U.S. policy to construct the major combatant ships of the Navy, including ships like the CG(X), with integrated nuclear power systems, unless the Secretary of Defense submits a notification to Congress that the inclusion of an integrated nuclear power system in a given class of ship is not in the national interest. The Navy studied nuclear power as a design option for the CG(X), but did not announce whether it would prefer to build the CG(X) as a nuclear-powered ship. The Navy’s FY2011 budget proposes canceling the CG(X) program and instead building an improved version of the conventionally powered Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class Aegis destroyer. The cancellation of the CG(X) program would appear to leave no near-term shipbuilding program opportunities for expanding the application of nuclear power to Navy surface ships other than aircraft carriers.

  • Gato Class Boats Finished the War with a Mod 3A Fairwater
    A VISUAL GUIDE TO THE U.S. FLEET SUBMARINES PART ONE: GATO CLASS (WITH A TAMBOR/GAR CLASS POSTSCRIPT) 1941-1945 (3rd Edition, 2019) BY DAVID L. JOHNSTON © 2019 The Gato class submarines of the United States Navy in World War II proved to be the leading weapon in the strategic war against the Japanese merchant marine and were also a solid leg of the triad that included their surface and air brethren in the USN’s tactical efforts to destroy the Imperial Japanese Navy. Because of this they have achieved iconic status in the minds of historians. Ironically though, the advancing years since the war, the changing generations, and fading memories of the men that sailed them have led to a situation where photographs, an essential part of understanding history, have gone misidentified which in some cases have led historians to make egregious errors in their texts. A cursory review of photographs of the U.S. fleet submarines of World War II often leaves you with the impression that the boats were nearly identical in appearance. Indeed, the fleet boats from the Porpoise class all the way to the late war Tench class were all similar enough in appearance that it is easy to see how this impression is justified. However, a more detailed examination of the boats will reveal a bewildering array of differences, some of them quite distinct, that allows the separation of the boats into their respective classes. Ironically, the rapidly changing configuration of the boats’ appearances often makes it difficult to get down to a specific boat identification.
