On March 30, 1998, NRC requested that TVA provide additional information concerning operator training with regard to the power uprate license amendment request. NRC requested that TVA propose a license condition and/or commitment that stipulates the following:

(a) Provide classroom and simulator training on all changes that effect operator performance caused by the power uprate modification. All training and the plant simulator will be modified, as necessary, to incorporate changes identified during the startup testing program.

(b) Complete simulator changes that are consistent with ANSI/ANS 3.5-1985. Simulator fidelity will be re-validated in accordance with ANSI/ANS 3.5-1985, Section 5.4.1, "Simulator Performance Testing."

Simulator revalidation will include comparison of individual simulated systems and components and 9809100220 98090i PDR ADOCK 05000260 V PDR

Based on an August 28, 1998, telephone conversation regarding operator training with the NRC BFN Project Managery TVA proposes the following license condition for Units 2 and 3 power uprate:

"Classroom and simulator training on all power uprate related changes that affect operator performance will be conducted prior to operating at uprated conditions.

Simulator changes that are consistent with power uprate conditions will be made and simulator fidelity will be validated in accordance with ANSI/ANS 3.5-1985. Training and the plant simulator will be modified, as necessary to incorporate changes identified during startup testing."

TVA notes that changes to the plant simulator control room and simulator process computer have been completed.
