Dear Cary:

AIR 3ehavioral Study I was able to locate a small file on :he A=erican Ins:1:utes for

?asearch (All) s udy on reactor cperator behavior.

I an enclosing copies of the following to give you some background on the study:

1.

A s-ary of a eeting vi:h AIR personnel on March 30, 1965.

2.

A draf: of a report on Critical Requirements and Preliminar r Rationales for Predictor Develop =en: - Se ?erfor:ance of Nuclear Reactor Operators, January 22, 1965.

Irv Jackson of ERDA-RDD fellowed :he work for AZC.

You rsy wish

o discuss 1: wi:h hi=.

? lease 1e: ce know if we ay be of further assis:2nce.

Sincerely yours,

On D reh 30, 1965, Gene Crs=er and I visi ed the American I:stitutes for Rececreh in Pittsburgh where ve cc=fernd with Bob Fitzpatrick, Oc= Prfnc cud 7 : k McIntyre. We reviewed la 7;e cu=bers cf.their

" critical incident = ports" cud discussed the procedures and tech-niques tey used in cbtaini:6 the infc==tien.

y-As a result of cur cursery scn, we !cel that accc fr:ction (<1/3) cf to incidents re';cr s are of sufficient interest to index into the

~celeer Safety ~nfor=:tica Center's infc=ation stcrage system. We pre;cced to i=pic. c t this in the folleving =enner which see=ed cgree-able to Fitzpctrick: (1) Crc =er vill return to AIR ct sc. e cs yet unsrecified date ced re=cve frca the files those re;crts cf interest to ::3IC.

(2) AIR will secn the few hundred ite=3 thus selected in order to delete any obvicus proprietsry data that they feel is i= proper.

for the= to relecce. In the lor.s run, hcvever, they =ust depend en our prc=ise to safecuard the crony =1ty of the facilities 1::tolved since cyc= withcut na:cs ve can in seny cases stin idcutify the re-ceter i= plicated.

(3) A R vin reproduce c=d se=d to us duplicate ccpics cf.he reports ve select.

(4)

C==cr vin index the infor. at' cn i

into cur proprieta:y stcrage file.

Ecvever, it is rc:t data already collected and due to te acture cf ::3I':'s interests, ve are unable to is:cre it.

In our files it vill be =7ailable to a" car staff experts ced, I feel, vin be very useful to rit least two cf cur people. As for futum data ecl-lecticas of this scrt, ve veuld not, at least for the present, pre;cse cry cc=tinuatics of this fem cf collection. The expense of con ecting 864 100

'Je hope that facility cperati:3 repcrts, Division cf Cper.ticc:1 Screty tullett s, c=d the AIC Public Occu= cut Rec = vill develop into cacquate ccurces for this type of infc== tion. If, in the-futum it 'cecc=cs obvicus that this is =ct the ecsc, we vculi censider c =cre direct cyprocch.
