Dear Mr. Denton:
Subject:
Shift Technical Advisor Training In our letter of October 25, 1979 we stated that the Shif t Technical Advisor function would be provided by an additional Senior Reactor Operator on each shift.
As explained in recent conversations with members of your staff, we now intend to utilize degreed engineers to provide the STA function.
Due to personnel constraints, including the time required for training. it will be necessary, during 1980, to utilize a combination of both engineers and SRO's to provide the STA function.
By 1981, the STA functions will be provided entirely by degreed engineers.
The purpose of this letter is to describe the training requirements which we have established for qualification of engineers as Shift Technical Advisors.
The training program for Shift Technical Advisors will include the following four subject areas:
Academic Training
- 310 lecture hours (approx.)
Systems Training
- 150 lecture hours (approx.)
20 lecture hours (approx.)
Transient / Accident Analysis 40 classroom hours (approx.)
Simulator Training 40 simulator hours (approx.)
Academic Training The academic training portion of the program will be provided by the facility of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
Specific topics to be covered include:

Systems Training The systems training portion of the program will be conducted by the North Anna training staff.
Training will be conducted by SRO's licensed on North Anna.
Transient / Accident Analysis The transient and accident training will be conducted by personnel from our Fuel Resources Department.
The transients and accidents studied will be specific to North Anna.
Simulator Training The simulator training will be conducted by the Surry Power Station training l
staff and will utilize the Surry Simulator.
This will include both class-room training and exnosure to a variety of simulated accident and transient conditions.
Retraining of STA's An annual requalification program will be developed and implemented by January 1,1981.
