Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Your letter of July 31, 1980, discussing interim criteria for shift staffing, requested the District to examine current staffing practices and capabilitiet and discuss plans and schedules to meet said criteria.
Presently, Pancho Seco's Technical Specifications requires one senior reactor operator and two reactor operators per shift.
The new interim criteria requires two senior reactor operators and two reactor operators per shift.
The District has already recognized the necessity for increased staffing in the Licensed Operator area. This was predicated upon Rancho Seco operating with a five-crew rotation, which resul ted in meeting the training requirements for licensed operators on an overtime basis.
Recogniz-ing the need for a sixth operating crew, the District has placed individuals in the hot license training program with the intent of going to a sixth crew as soon as possible. With the trainees that are presently in hot license training, a six-crew rotation could have been achieved by April,1981.
However, the new criteria for the number of licensed personnel per shift and the additional one year experience requirement between reactor operator and senior reactor operator license seriously affects the schedule for six fully staffed crews.
Attached is a schedule for training which indicates when various classes of hot license training are expected to start and when the licenses would be expected to oe obtained.
The schedule is based on needing 12 senior reactor operators and 12 reactor operators.
Part A of the schedule does not

take into account attrition to the licensed personnel.
Part B of the schedule assumes approximately a 30% attition rate.
Due to these interim criteria requirements and' the criteria placed on new plants receiving licenses, (i.e.
that the licensed operators must have had actual operating experience) Part B is considered more realistic.
'ihould you require additional information concerning this item, please i
contact Mr. Ron Colombo of my staff.
