\\s 1-038-13 2-038-14 The initial training program will be completed prior to receipt of the next batch of fuel at ANO, which is now scheduled for November,1978 for Cycle 4 of ANO-1.
Item Ic of Infraction Action taken to prevent recurrence consisted of a Startup Engineer training session held October 11, 1977, in which the requirement to addend the test procedure if the procedure steps could not be followed as written was emphasized.
We apologize for the length of time taken to respond to your letter.
Your request was received during a time of management change and was overlooked until we reviewed our records to identify just such situations.
This situation was subsequently discussed by phone with your Mr. Gagliardo.
