4 Q
In the long-run with the implementation 5
of this shift engineer, what would be the primary 6
reason for having him available, to be able to 7
respond to unusual events? -
i l
8 A
one of his primary duti~es would be to advise 9
the shift supervisor of any emergency situation.
10 Q
Is the concept to have the shift 11 engineer available on very short time?
l 12 A
Yes, to be on-site and to b'e available within 13 a phone call, to rush to the control room, so l
14 that should there be a problem, he can help with it.
15 Q
would that shift engineer be given other 16 or any administrative dt$ ties ?
17 A
Specifically we tried toddesign'that position j
18 to sinimize any administrative duties, and to l
19 enhance the technical engineering responsibilities.
20 Yo a large measure it is to be a training assignment.

21 He will be working toward his formal NRC license.
22 Q
You mean as a reactor operator?
23 A
Yes.
In the long-run we should wind up with, 24 a cadre of operations-maintenance-experienced 25 engineers.
