Dear Dick:
On August 30, 1972, I =et with you and Messrs. Collins and Bursey to discuss status and projected plans for Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Opere. tor licensing on Unit 1 at Th ee Mile Island.
During this meeting, I discu., sed the fact that we were considering promoting a number of men presently clacsified as Axuiliary Operators to the position of Shift Foreman on Unit 2.
You requested that I provide recumes to you for the men under consideration in order that you could reco=end any requirements that should be satisfied in order to qualify these men as operating fore =en in accordance with ATSI 18.1, covering the selection and training of nuclear power plant personnel.
You also requested us to submit a list of activities planned for these men between the time of their promotion and their taking a cold Senior Beactor Operator License examination on Unit 2.
I am submitting herevith resumes for each of five supervisory candidates presently under consideration by us.
With regard to additional training and experience prior to license exacination, for candidates A, 3, C and D, ve vould plan to have them participate in a tvo week training pres sm at the 3i7 Lynchbu g sinulator, which was determined at the August 30 meeting to be satisfactory for a TMI operator of similar backgrcund who was recently prenoted to Shift Ferenan.
For candidate I, ve vould plan to have him ta'ce the standa-d 3!:W Phase 1 and 2 training at lynchburg, which requires approximately 10 weeks and invelves cperation of the pool reacter and extensive use of the simulator.

Mr. Richard Van 20 a October id, 19t=
All candidates veuld continue to be engaged.in various phases of the Unit 1 test progra=, including preparation of operating procedures, f
providing advisory assistance and obtaining experience during the hot functiona?, fuel loading, low pcver physics, and power escalation phases of the " nit 1 program.
3ased on presently projected schedules, they would l
be engaged in these activities en 2 part time basis en Unit 1 for between one and two years before taking their cold license examination on Unit 2.
fn addition, they vill be directly in ch tree ol' the hot runctional testing portion of the Unit 2 test program before their examination.
'Je feel that the above progran of training and operating experience vill insure that the candidates vill have adequate kncvledge, experience, and ability before they assume the responsibilities of a licensed Senior Reacter Operator at the time of Unit 2 fuel leading.
By copies of this letter and the enclosure, I en submitting this infor ation to Paul Collins'.
Both of you indicated at the August 30 meeting that you vould advise us as to supervisory requirements for these candidates and prerequisites to be satisfied by then prior to sitting.for a cold Senior License exan.
'ie vill avait replies from both you and Paul.before =aking final decision on the promoting of these men.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
