has becore fashionable nowadays for every self-a :cinted exter: tc ex;ress nis opinion icou: Wr.5 : snould be done to avoid an iteration "7

I am 'sure the ACP.S will F-ctSTtio-., ED TO n, r.,S.M/%i nake its c0llective views kno'.en to you in due ea p '-

u' a me.

. war.:ed c make some points infer. ally

hat migh be lost in the maze of paper you ara receiving.

The first is that the development of a usable and readily accessible set of information to

~

ne ::ntrol rocm operator is something that
an be done without significant capital

'nvestment and could imorove the safety pos-

ure of nuclear : wer plants very quickly, he -hings I have in mind are.

Good one-line diagrams, possibly in iso-r.e:ric form, t:,a: onysically identify the rela-ive location of im ortant pieces of ha d..-a re.

M. Hendrie 3

May 3,1979 about the ccerator's diagnostic capability.

he second coint is that operators need a

etter understanding of thermodynamic respc1se by these systems thrcugh some other means than observing the actions on simulators.

The

'est cbvicus need is to make sure that every

erato

.nderstands the rela:icnship between

" essure, tem:erature, ar.d ? nase 90uilibria,

rut they also snculd understand heat transfer

naracteristics as a function Cf Velocity,
  1. iuic sta e, and Ohysical configuration of

,s a: transfer surfaces.

Again, these are liustra:ive and tney neec scme considered

nougn by soecialists in operator training.

rinally, it is difficult for me, as an indivicual, to understand where the NRC Itaff, the Licensees, the architect-engineering

  1. irms, and the nuclear steam supoly vendors are ccr. centra ing their attention.

I think "t would be useful to everyone if there were i ccm;ie:E se: Of tasks identified so that one

culd see a".a: the Industry, the Regulators and their Advisors are trying 20 acccmplish.

- c me, i; iccks like the activities are Traceedin; r.elter-skeiter withcut much rhy,e reascr :; 'icensees, EPRI, EEI, NRC and
