S<<g g051CKL Dear Mr. Nowicki-.
This information is being provided in response to your request during our May 8, 1980 telephone conversation concerning the Shift Technical Advisors (STA's) at Gfnna Station.
The attachment addresses specific training that our designated STA's and other licensed operators have received to date and willreceive during the year 1980.
Also attached are the resumes of those licensed operators enrolled in the training that may function as STA's under the criteria of our December 28, 1979 submittal to the NRC.
One of the five presently designated STA's. Candidate. A,. does not hold a Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) license-Candidate A:currently holds an operator (RO) license and in our opinion, as evidenced in his
- resume, is qualified to fillthe STA position.
Sincerely yours, L. D. White, Jr.
Attachment
Training received by licensed personnel including the Shift Technical Advisers through the license requalification program at Ginna dealing with accident assessment.
I.
Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow A lesson on heat transfer and fluid flow was given in the normal training cycle.
This lesson was based on the Technical Education Research Center-SW, Nuclear Technology Series entitled "Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow".
This lesson included the basics of-'.
Property of fluids including density, specific volume, specific weight, viscosity, specific heat, void fraction, enthalpy, quality, etc.
B.
Heat transfer types including conduction, convection and radiation and types of boiling.
This lesson also included an introduction to the use of steam tables.
C.
Fluid flow including Reynolds Number, laminar and turbulent flow, friction andAP in a flowing system and the relationships of AP to flow in the Ginna feedwater system.
D.
Heat transfer. in a. fluid system including area to volume ratios, re-sistance to heat flow for conduction and convection and the develop-ment of "U", the overall. heat transfer coefficient.
This section also included a discussion of the use of the formulas Q = UAZlT and CpH4T and their application to the Ginna NSSS and calorimetric.
E.
DNB, Burnout and Flow Instability including DNB, Burnout,
F.
Reactor Heat Transfer.Limits including - the means of approximating KW/'ft at Ginna, Ginna peaking factors (F
, F<
F ) and the means of checking that the Ginna core is within those hmi5s.
The ways hot channel factors can be exceeded and how Ginna is protected from ex-ceeding those limits and a discussion of Ginna procedure 0-6.4 the quadrant to average power tilt calculation and limits.
II.
Emergency Procedure Review The emergency procedures for LOCA, S/G tube rupture and loss of secondary coolant were covered in detail with the Westinghouse background information on the emergency procedures.
Each licensed individual was also "walked-through" the instrumentation used for accident assessment, containment isolation reset, initiation of the recirculation phase and usage of the PORV's on the pressurizer using the overpressurization system from the control board.
A second Heat Transfer Tntroduction was also given which included the secondary heat cycle ca1culations for turbine, condenser, pump and steam generator.
An introduction into the use of the T-S and H-S diagrams.
The calculations of Q out and work done by specific components and cycle efficiencies.
This lesson was an exercise in Nollier diagram and steam table usage; This lesson was based on chapter ll of the textbook "Engineering Thermo-dynamics with Applications" by M. David Burghardt; Harper
& Row Publishers, Copyright 1978.
The title of chapter ll is Vapor Power Cycles.
All Shift Technical Advisers have not attended this lesson to date but it is intended that they will in their normal tzaining cycle.
EV.
Safety Analysis for selected accidents including the background for safety analysis> catogories and assumptions.
A.
Uncontrolled control rod withdrawal involving possible
- causes, safety features to protect from transient, inherent characteristics and con-sequences of a transient of this nature.
B.
Drop of a control zod involving causes, safety features to protect zzom transient, inherent characteristics, immediate effects and long term effects.
C.
Loss of reactor coolant flow - "involving causes, automatic and mechanical features designed to protect from the accident, circumstances that will affect the severity of the accident and immediate effects on the reactor.
D.
Loss of external electrical load - involving possible
- causes, protective features to reduce effects and consequences of the accident.
E.
Rupture of a steam line involving automatic features, inherent char-acteristics and consequence of this accident.
F.
Loss of normal feedwater - involving consequences and protection pro-vided for the accident.
G.

Simulator training has been part of the Operator Requalification Program since 1973 for all licensed operators including Shift Technical Advisers.
This training was provided at the Westinghouse simulator in Zion, Illinois or Consolidated Edison simulator in Buchanan, New York during 1979.
This simulator training addressed emergencies and accidents for diagnostic and response by the operators.
This type of simulator training will be re-peated during 1980.
Future training to be provided for Shift Technical Advisers during 1980 dealing with accident analysis.
I..The Westinghouse Shift Technical Adviser Program modified to meet the Ginna Station needs vill be provided during the fall of 1980.
This program will be eight days of classroom lecture plus three days. at the Westinghouse simulator for classroom lecture and simulator demonstration.
The program, will be in two segments.
A.
Classroom lecture for all Shift Technical Advisers, relief Shift Technical Advisers and all Duty Engineers.
B.
Simulator training - eight individuals to include all Shift Technical Advisers and three relief Shift Technical Advisers.
The classroom lecture will address such areas as:
Thermodynamics/Fundamentals and PWR Application Heat Transfer/PWR Application Fluid Flow/PWR Application Nuclear Characteristics and Nuclear Peaking Factors instrumentation, Limitations and Alternatives Operating Experience and System Assessment Normal Plant Transients
~
Instrument Failure Assessment The simulator p'ortion will cover:
