He shall be familiar with BFS construction procedures.

13.4-la 13-111778

with station procedures which are formulated using the guidance of ANSI

. N18.7-1972, "Administr.ative Controls for Nuclear Power Plants," as described in Subsection 13.5.1.

14.1.6.4 Utilization of Plant Operating and Testing Experiences at Other Reactor Facilities. During the preparation of detailed pre-operational testing procedures and operation procedures licensee event reports for similar reactor plants, and operating experiences will be reviewed to identify potential problems. Precautionary measures will be factored into procedural steps to preclude or minimize their occurrence. The schedule for this evaluation activity will be coincident with the schedule for preparation.

14.1.6.5 Test Program Schedule. The test program will follow the schedule indicated on Figure 14-1 and will follow the typical NSSS test sequence presented on Figure 14.1-1 (GESSAR). The scheduled time period for development of detailed tent procedures will commence approximately 6 months prior to performing the initial tests which is consistant with the schedule for hiring and training of plant operating and engineering personnel presented on Figure 13.2-1. Staffing and training for the Black Fox Station is discussed in Chapter 13. Plant operating and emergency procedures will be developed during the initial testing phase concurrent with the preparation of pre-operational test procedures and the performance of pre-operational tests.

14.1.6.6 Trial Use of Plant Operating and Emergency Procedures. During the pre-operational testing program, the operating and emergency procedures for the plant will be placed in trial use, to the extent practical, to verify their adequacy and appropriateness. The experiences gained during the trial use period will be factored into the final operating and emergency procedures as appropriate.

Staff for Conduct of Test Program. As described in section 14.1.1, 14.1.6.7 the preparation of pre-operational and initial startup test procedures will be performed by the BFS operating staf f augmented by the PSO Power Generation staff, B&V, GE or other consultants. This augmented staff will work under the direction of the Test Working Group as described in section 13.4.2.

At the peak period it is anticipated that approximately fifteen persons shall be assigned responsibility for directing or supervising the conduct of pre-operational tests. The timing for augmenting the BFS operating staff will be consistant with the schedule for preparation and execution of the test procedures shown in figure 14-1, 14.1-3a 13-111778

BFS Minimum qualifications of individuals that direct or supervise the conduct of specific pre-operational tests. (At the time that the individual is assigned to the task).

1. A bachelor's degree in engineering or the physical sciences and one year of applicable power plant experience or,

2. A high school diploma or the equivalent and four years of power plant experience. Credit for up to two years of this four year experience may be given for related technical training on a one-for-one time basis.

3. Included in the experience shall be applicable indoctrination or training to ensure the individuals are adequately qualified in test program admin-istration, technical experience and power plant systems at least similar to those BFS systems whose testing they will be assigned to direct.

Minimum qualifications of individuals that direct or supervise the conduct of specific startup tests. (At the time of assignment to the task).

1. A bachelor's degree in engineering or the physical sciences and two years of applicable power plant experience of which at least one year shall be applicable nuclear power plant experience or,

2. A high school diploma or the equivalent and five years of applicable power plant experience of which at least two years shall be applicable nuclear power plant experience. Credit for up to two years of non-nuclear experience may be given far related technical training on a one-for-one time basis.
