REPLACEMENT OPERATOR TRAINING (PROGRAM 11)
CLASS DURATION:
10 weeks (Part I - 4 wecks, Part II - 6 weeks) 4 TRAINING LOCATION:
B&W Nuclear Training Center, Lynchburg, Virginia DESCRIPTION:
'hc purpose of this program is to supplement a utility training program with a concentrated classroom program of nucicar supply system instruc-tion and operational experience gained from operating the B&W nucicar power plant simulator. This program will provide instruction for nuclear plant auxiliary operators so that they will be adequately prepared for the AEC Reactor Operator examination.
The prcrcquisites for,this program include:
1.
Completion of a Comprehensive Basic Nuclear Theory Course (B5W Program 4 or the equivalent).
2.
Completion of a program to develop experience as a neactor Operator Under Instruction which will include a number of significant reactor power changes.
PROGPM :
The replaccment operator program is divided into two parts which are conducted separately but are mutually dependent.
Part 1 is a classroom presenta-tion of the systems and components which makeup the nuclear steam supply and its instrumentation and control equipment.
Part 2 is the practical application of knowledge of the nuclear steam supply syste=s to operation of tne B&W nuclear steam supply simulator.
PART I - Nuclear Steam Supply Systems (4 weeks - maximum of 12 students per group)
This part provides a series of lectures covering design and operation of the particular plant the trainees will operate.
Operating personnel study the detailed designs of the major components of the nuclear system and their various characteristics. All f acets of the instrumenta-tion and control systems are studied to give each student an operational knowicdge of'these systems. Water chemistry, radiochedistry, and health physics are studied in relationship to their appli~ cation to the operation of a plant.
The subjects covered during Part 1 are shown below:

PART II - PWR Operation (6 weeks)
This part of the total program provides the operational expericnce on the L&W simulator which will allow the trainees to beccee proficient reactor operators.
This part of the program is dependent upon the trainees completing Part I of the progrc where the detailed knowledge of plant systems is presented.
lastruc-tion vill be entirely involved with plant operation in normal plant modes (manual,.)
partial autc=atic and full automatic control), abnormal equipment configuration operation, and casualty control.
The students will be given an audit (cock),
written and performance e'xam to prepare the= for their license examination.
The last week of the program is set aside for preparation and conduct of Reactor Operator exa=inations which the purchaser should schedule with the USAEC Operator Licensing Branch.
Estimated Subject Matter time, hr.
100 Sinulator Operation.
The trainees are brchen into groups of three for duty in the control rocs with each trainee cperating the sfeulator at the each of the three operating positicns.
Approxicately enc-third cf each traince's time vill be spent warhing as Shift Supervicer, ene-third as Control Operator, end t.he final third as Ascir:trat Contrcl Cperator.
