Dear Mr. Deddans:
We have received and reviewed your lettet of Sept aber 17, 196F.
regardinF the B&'*' Nuclear Training Program.
In thir letter you indicate that B&W proposes to use the combination of a Pi'" niculator for control rooc cperatinn experience, an actual PUT. plant for observatiot. experience and ten startups on the Lynchburg Pool Reactor (LPP) towarde fulfillin7, our recuiren.ents for " cold" examination elicibility fer operator and senier cperator applicants.
Because of several meetines vc have held with you concerning tbo simulator specifications ud usage, it is now our understandinc that the B&V Simulater will be nearly a complete airulation of a B&r PWF plant control room.
Based upon our review of your training brochure and our knowledge of the proposed BLU Simulator, the following procedure appents approrrince for the b6'i Sinclator's ussre in en overall training, pror.ra= to estcblish that an applicant has had extensive operatint experience at a comparable reactor, as required by Section 55.25(b) of 10 CF.k Port 55.
Individuals who formally cornletc the pronosed b&v prorran, whic:
includes a nuclear fundamentals course, a minirur of ten (10) e,tartups on the LPF. and PWR ainulator training, would be considered qualified in accordance with Section 55.25(b) for " cold' operator and senior operator license exar inations at their own facility, providc< ti.n t tlicy had co pleted a minimum four-ponth assignment at an operating PW'.
During this assiersent they will have.apent at least two and one-half (2-1/2) monthe of this period observin~ the day--to-ay operation of this plant as members of shift operating crews.
This approach is to be considered on a trial basis,- the compctet.cc.
demonstrated by the first groups of trainees will Ec considered in deternining whether we will continue, rodify or disenntinue ti:is pro-cedure.
Also, the above procedure was established with the followin6800 eonsiderations in mind:

The co:pleteness and accuracy with which the simulator will be constructed.
2.
The ability of the si nulator to provide various types of control I
room experience to the traince, including the abilf ty to I
sinulate normal startup and shutdown operations as well as inany casualty drill situstions.
3.
The pW:, operating experience of the B&U instructors who vill staff the simulator crew is expected to be considerable. Many of these int.tructors should have PWP. initial plant startup experience.
I Ue vill be happy to discuss this procedure or any of EDs trotninr plans l
with you at any tinc f;
Sincerely yours.
