Dear Mr. Kintner:
Reference:
Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Unit 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341
Subject:
Miscellaneous Responses to NRC Questions Item 1 LQB-3(b) - Provide a commitment that an individual with commercial operating experience will be utilized in an advisory capacity to plant. management until sufficient operating experience has bee. achieved by the plant staff.
This individual can be an employee or an individual on contract to DECO.
Response
Detroit Edison commits to have an individual with commercial BWR operating experience available to plant management until sufficient operating experience has been achieved by the plant staff.
At least one, and probably several, persons currently on plant staff satisfy this condition.
Item 2 OLB The applicant has committed to completa the training of all operating personnel in the use of installed systems to monitor and control accidents in which the core may be severly damaged.
This training must be completed before the issuance of a full power license.

Response te Verbal. Positions from Core Performance Branch
.On-Line Fuel Failure Monitoring Detroit Edison has a program to monitor the off-gas activity in such a way that the failure of a-significant number of fuel roads woulo be detected.
(FSAR, Section 11.4.2)
In.the event tcat such failures are detected by a signi-ficant increase in off-gas activity either below or at Technical Speci?ication limits, the applicant will initiate an effort to determine the cause of the failures, and will make appropriate examination of suspected failed fuel during or following the next refueling outage.
Such examination may include sipping or visual examination.
The applicant may use his own or contract fuel sipping equipment.
Post-Irradiation Surveillance Detroit Edison will commit to conduct a post-irradiation surveillance program to detect gross structural problems with irradiated nuclear fuel.
This program will consist of a visual examination of some discharged fuel assemblies from each refueling using the standard plant underwater TV monitoring equipment.
The number of assemblies examined will be dependent upon the need as indicated by the off gas activity levels in the. previous cycle.
This examination shall normally be ccuducted arter the refueling outage in which the assemblies are discharged but prior to the next refueling.

- H. II. B '. 4 Training for Mitigating Core Damage H.II.B.4.1 _ Statement of Concern As a result of the accident at TMI-2,' everyone connected with
' nuclear power technology must accept, as a fact, that unusual situations can occur and accidents can happen.
Operations personnel, in particular, must not have a mindset that future accidents are impossible.
The experience of Three~ Mile Island has not been sufficient to eradicate that mindset in all quar-ters and the effects of that experience will fade with time.
In short,-.the operators must be provided with the knowledge and'information necessary to control or mitigate an accident in which the core is severely damaged.
H.II.B.4.2 NRC Position Licensees are required to develop a training program to teach the use of installed equipment and systems to control or miti-gate accidents in which the core has been severely damaged.
They must then implement the training program (Reference 1).
Shift technical advisors and operating personnel from the plant manager through the operations chain to the licensed operators shall receive all the training indicated in Enclosure 3 of H. R.
.Denton's letter to all power reactor applicants and -licensees dated March 28, 1980 (Reference 2).
7 Managers and technicians in the instrumentation and control (I&C), health physics, and chemistry departments shall receive-training commensurate with their responsibilities ~ (Reference 1).
Applicants for operating licenses should develop a training-J program prior to fuel loading and complete the program prior to full-power operation (Reference 1).
H.II.B.4.3 Detroit Edison Position 4
1 A training program will be developed to teach the use of installed equipment and systems to control or mitigate accidents in which the core has been severely damaged.
This program will encompass.
all the training indicated in Reference-2.

All operating personnel from the Fermi 2 plant superintendent through the operations. chain to the licensed operators will receive this training This training will be completed by the prio- +o ti== full-peeer--cperatica le attained. fuel le= A;w3 a
