Dear fir. Crutchfield:
Your letter (Reference 1) requested infonnation on how our STA's meet the guidance that they have the equivalent to a bachelor's degree in a scientific or ergineering discipline. 'Ihe LACBUR STA qualification program emphasizes two important attributes that candidates being considered as STA's must possess - technical training and nuclear experience. The training must have been obtained in a formal prcyram, such as via a science or engineering degree or the U. S. Navy Nuclear Program.
We feel a technical degree in itself does not guarantee that a person will be helpful as a Shif t Technical Mvisor during an emettjency. 'Iherefore,
experience in the nuclear field is also a pmrequisite. A degreed engineer or scientist is mquired to have a minimum of one year of nuclear experience, six months of which must be at LACBWR, prior to functioning as an STA. An individual without a technical bachelor's degree must have worked at the plant for at least four years prior to becaning an STA. Any STA candidate must be a member of the plant management staff prior to being considered.
be feel our prujrata of requiring potential STA's to have nuclear plant experience in addition to fornul technical training prior to enbarking on the STA training prujram results in strotyer, more seasoned STA's, who will be potentially nore useful in an anergency situation, than merely requiring STA's to have a technical bachelor's degree as a prerequisite.
