Dear Mr. Norelius:
DEP&OF Filo CAILAWAY SIIIPP TEONICAL ADVISOR TPAINING AND EDUCATION Union Electric is currently using the Institute of Nuclear Power Operation (INPO) "Reccminendation for Position Description, Qualifications, Education and Training" for " Nuclear Power Plant Shift Technical Advisor" document #GPG-01 as a guide in developing education and training programs for Shift Technical Advisor (STA).
Those individuals currently identified as STA have sufficient previous college education to meet or exceed the course work lested in section 6.1.1 " prerequisites Beyond Iligh School Diplana" of the INPO document.
To meet the suggested " College Invel Fundamental Education" described in section 6.1.2 we are currently contracting with the University i
of Missouri - Columbia (GE), Nuclear Engineering DepartInent to provide the following courses:
I.
Nuclear Sciences Credit Hours Course Contents A.
Reactor Theory 1.
NE 346, Intro, to (3)
Nuclear reactions and radiations; I
Nuclear Reactor neutron diffusion and slowing Engineering I down; steady state and time (Reactor Physics) dependent theory; reactor. control; energy renoval.
l 2.

Review of basic electric circuit analysis, circuit elments, 3 phase systms and power calcula-tions; intorduction to control and digital systes.
B.
EE 266, Power Systm s (3)~
Magnetic circuitry in general and in machinery; transformer circuits; synchronous machine theory, applications; basic principles of energy conversion; power transnission and control.
After investigation of current industry, goverment and acadcmia remmierdation for STA training, the above courses were developed and reccmmended by UMC Nuclear Engineering Department, in cooperation with the Callaway Training Department. These courses supplcmented with previous college education will meet or exceed the INPO guideline.
The areas of training listed in sections 6.2 " Applied l
Fundamentals - Plant Specific" and 6.4 " Plant Syst m s" will be provided by the Callaway Trainig Department and will be equivalent Phase I and Phase II trainig for Licensed Operators.
The Callaway Training Department is presently discussing possible programs, with local universities and various vendor, to provide the STA with training described in sections 6.3 "Managment/
Supervisory Skills" and 6.7 " Transient / Accident Analysis and Emergency Procedures". The training provided in these areas will closely apprc;xi-mate INPO suggestions.
Training described in sections 6.5 " Administrative Controls" and 6.6 " General Operating Procedures" < l1 be developed and presented by the Callaway Training Department. The appropriate sections of the INPO document will be used as guidelines in the develognent.
The Callaway Simulator is presently being installed anc1 tested.
It will be used to provide the type of training delineated in section 6.8 " Simulator training". Again, the INPO document will be used as a guideline in developing the training.

~Page 4 STA Training &' Education It is not Union Electric's intention to match hour for hour the training and education described in INPO doct e nt #GPG-01, since

it is only a guideline. But, more importantly, it is our intention to provide sufficient content to meet or exceed the intent- (safe and efficient operation of the Callaway Plant) of the document.

Dear Don:
Following the completion of the proposals for the SRO-STA Education Program the University will present at the Callaway Plant,lae asked for a review of the proposals by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations.
The enclosed letter has been received from E. L. Thomas indicating that the proposed courses meet the intent of the INP0 guidelines for STA.
This information may *e of interest to you.
We are looking forward to beginning the Education Program on October 26 and will welecme your suggestions on that program as it continues through the year.
Sincerely, f$

Dear Bill:
We have reviewed your Nuclear Eng2.neer?;nt Deparcent s - -
, proposal to Union Electric Company for an educational program for Senior Reactor Operators and Shift Technical Advisors.
The program outlined meets the intent of the INPO guidelines for STA's.
We noted your approach to developing mathematical skills of the. participants and believe it will be effective..
If we may be of further assistance, please advise.
Sincerely,
