Dear Mr. Collins:

As requested in our telephone conversation last week, vould you please review the backgrounds of Mr. John A. Albers, Mr. George H. Bruss , Mr.

S. James McWilliams and Mr. Thomas W. Holcomb and verify that they will be sufficiently qualified to sit for " cold license" examination.

A resume for each individual, covering their experience prior to joining the Arkansas Nuclear One operating staff, is attached. Since joining the Arkansas Nuclear One organization each of these men has completed the following courses:

1. Academic Program for Nuclear Pcwer Plant Personnel - 17 Weeks -

General Physics Corporation (all except Mr. Bruss).

2. Basic Radiological Healch and Reactor Safety & Hazards Analysis -

3 Weeks - Environmental Protection Agency.

3. PWR Technology - 6 Weeks - Babcock & Wilcox Compary

h. PWR Simulator Training - 10 Weeks - Babcock & Wilcox Ccmpany

5. Pool Reactor Training - 2 Peeks - Babcock & Uilcox Ccmpany THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS P00R QUALITY PAGES

' Each of these men has completed three weeks (18 days work) of observation

' training at Connecticut Yankee. Their activities during this time included:

1. Observed pressurizer bubble formation. .

2. Observed Rod Drop Tests.

3. Observed plant heatup from 280 C F.

4. Observed Hot Rod Drop Tests.

5. Observed Vibration Tests of Reacter Coolant Paps.

6. Observed Isothermal checks at various temperatures.

7. Participated in boron dilution (safety groups out) and rod manipulation during approach to criticality.

8. Participated in boron dilution and rod movement for flux mapping and low power physics tests.

9. Observed the following malfunctions:

a. Leaking pressurizer emie safety valve.

b. Pressurizer spray valve stuck open.

c. HP 0:.1 Lift Pump n RCP lost suction.

d. Failure of Intermeniate Channel which caused reactor trip.

10. Participated in boron dilution and rod movement for rod worth measurements (groups and individual rods),

11. Observed Ejected Rod Worth Tests.

12. Observed flux mapping results and configurations.

13. Observed Emergency Diesel Tests.

14 Observed primary and secondary systems line-up and placed in service.

15. Observed two critical approaches.

16. Observed stuck red worth measurements.

17. Observed turbine startup and loading to 200 Mv.

18. Participated in rod movement for Tave control during

' ~

turbine load.ng and unloading.

19 Observed orerspeed trip tests.

20. Observed shutdown and cooldown and depressurization.

21. . Observed pressurizer being taken " solid."

22. Observed initialization of Deca'/ Heat Mode.

23. Observed plant heatup from cold shutdown condition.

24 Observed plant startup and power operation.

25. 0bserved power buildup and steady state operation.

26. Observed dropped rod during rod motor tests and the accompany-ing runback of centrol system and operator actions.

27. . Observed turbine stop valve tests at h00 Mv.

28. Observed spent fuel manipulations and transfer to shipping .

cask.

29. Observed decontamination of spent fuel cask and HP monitor-ing during the operation.

1Mr. Paul Collins August 23, 1972 The on-site training for'these individuals vill involve the same in-struction and/or. review of all plant systems and proemdures as other personnel scheduled for cold 11 censing and will be closely monitored by the Site Training Supervisor.

Messrs. Bruss, Holcomb and McWilliams are presently scheduled to return to Connecticut Yankee for an additional four weeks of observation train-ing. In view of their previous experience and training, as well as the -

_ variety of operations observed at Connecticut Yankee, we feel this train-ing program vill qualify then to take the cold license' examination.

If ycu have any questions, please call me. I will be at the Division of Reactor Licensing office on Thursday, August 31, 1972, should you wish to talk about this matter.

Very truly yours,
