Revised Programs Response to Item 2.C. of Enclosure 1 of Harold R..Denton's letter dated March 29, 1980.

Revised programs should be submitted for OLB review by Aug.1,1980.

C.l.) Training in heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamics.

Response: Heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamics have always been ..

a significant portion of the Academic Training Program at Davis-Besse. We have reemphasized the importance of this training by restructuring the content of the heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamics in the Academic Training Programs.

The revised program provides 160 contact hours of instruction, presented in two seperate programs at Davis-Besse. The first 80 contact hours are presented in our Basic Academic Training Program and the next 80 contact hours are presented in our

' Specialized License Program which follows the Pressurized Water Reactor Technology Program. These programs address the needs as outlined in Enclosure 2 of the Denton letter.

C.2.) Training in the use of installed plant systems to control or mitigate an accident in which the core is severely damaged.

l Response: Training programs have been modified to emphasize the installed systems to be utilized in accident situations. Emphasis has been placed on use of systems in normal, emergency and abnormal modes e

of operation. The Simulator Training Program has been modified to incorporate two weeks of emergency and abnormal operations.

An additional Training Program is currently being designed to provide specific training on accident responses. This program will review materials from other earlier programs and be structured to better prepare the operator in recognizing and mitigating the consequences of severe core damage. This program will consist of approximately one week of instruction and be presented when the operator has completed the Startup Certification portion of his Simulator Training, but before consnencing the Emergency Procedures Training portion of Simulator Training.

Topics to be covered are:

Potentially damaging operating conditions Core cooling mechanics Recognizing core damage Gas / steam binding effects on core cooling Hydrogen hazards during severe accidents Monitoring critical parameter ysng accident conditions Radiation hazards and radiation monitoring response Criteria for operation and cooling mode selection.

C.3.) Increased emphasis on reactor and plant transients.

s Response: Increased emphasis has been placed on the System Integrated Per- .

formance section of our operator qualification standard. Sections have been included on Transient Response and Interrelationship with other Systems. The Simulator Training Program for operators has been modified to increase the emphasis on Reactor and Plant Transients.

The training programs involving Plant Systems and Plant Instruments and Controls have been reviewed and modified as necessary to incorporate t

additional training in plant transients.
