i CALTJEAY SHIPP TECIETICAL ADVISOR TRAINING AND EDUCATIGI Union Electric is currently using the Institute of Nuclear Power Operation (INPO) "Reca:mendation 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 cource work lested in section 6.1.1 " prerequisites Beyord High School Diplana" of the INPO document.
To meet the suggested " College level Fundamental Education" described in section 6.1.2 we are currently contracting with the University of Missouri - Columbia (DC), Nuclear Engineering Department 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; Nuclear Reactor neutron diffusion and slowing l
Engineering I down; steady state and time (Reactor Physics) dependent theory; reactor control; energy renoval.
2.
NE 409, Interaction (3)
Theory / Applications of radiation of Radiation with interaction processes, reviews matter (Nuclear nuclear physics concepts; radio-Physics) active decay; sources / spectra of ionizing radiations, collision mechanisns for charged particles electranagnetic radiation, neutron for interaction with matter.

Page 3 STA Trainin) & Education III. Electrical Sciences A.
EE 301, Problans (1)
Review of basic electric circuit analysis, circuit elanents, 3 phase systans and power calcula-tions; intorduction to control and digital systens.
B.
EE 266, Power Systens (3)
Magnetic circuitry in general and in machinery; transformer circuits; synchronous machine theory, applications; basic principles of energy conversion; power transmission and control.
After investigation of current industry, government and acadania recomendation for STA training, the above courses were developed and reca: mended by UMC Nuclear Engineering Department, in cooperation with the Callaway Training Department. These courses supplanentel with previous college education will nat or exceed the INPO guideline.
The areas of training listed in sections 6.2 " Applied Fundamentals - Plant Specific" and 6.4 " Plant Systens" will be provided by the Callaway Training Department and will be equivalent Phase I ard Phase II training 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 "Managenent/
1 Supervisory Skills" and 6.7 " Transient / Accident Analysis and anergency Procedures". The training provided in these areas will closely approxi-mate INPO suggestions.
Training described in sections 6.5 " Administrative Controls" and 6.6 " General Operating Procedures" will be developed and presented by the Callaway Training Department. The appropriate sections of the INPO document will be used as guidelines in the developnent.
The Callaway Simulator is presently being installed and tested. It will be used to provide the type of training delineated l
in section 6.8 " Simulator training". Again, the INPO document will be used as a guideline in developing the training, i

Page 4 STA Training & Education It is not Union Electric's intention to match hour for hour the training and education described in INPO docunent #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, we 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 be 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.

Dear Bill:
We have reviewed your Nuclear Engineerrnf
- Department'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.
