ATTACHMENT A 440.0 OPFRATOR'LICENSING"BRANCH Fiqure 13.2-1, Revision 1, shows that 16 people will be licensed prior to fuel load'ing.
Provide the number of people who will be trained in your licensed operator training program.
This number should not only meet Technical Specification requirements but shoul d also allow for examination contingencies and avoidance of planned overtime during the startup phase.
He recom-ment the training of at least 25 people.
What are your plans for additional training in the event that fuel loading is substantially delayed?
An acceptable method of maintaining the required level of training if fuel loading is significantly delayed would be to initiate the requalification program.
'igure 13.2-1, Revision 1, indicates that a Pre-license
'efresher Course >vill be conducted six months prior to fuel loadinq.
lie consider it hiqhly desirable that license applicants participate in a short sim-ulator course immediately prior to the examinations.
Is it PP8L's intention to provide such a course?

Provide a commit-ment that simulator training will be conducted at a
'Nuclenet simulator, if operational prior to fuel
- loading, and identify the simulator to be used for this training.
