Dear Mr. Knighton:
Section 1.7 of the Seabrook Station Safety Evaluation Report, issued by Reference (b), identifies issues which the NRC staff considers to be outstanding. One issue relates to the NUREG-0737 requirement to have a Shift Technical Advisor on shift. The purpose of this letter is to reiterate the position of Public Service Coc:pany of New Hampshire (PSNH) on this issue.
It is the position of PSNH that either an appropriately qualified Shift Superintendent or Unit Shift Supervisor can best assure that engineering and accident assessment expertise is available to the shift operating crew. We consider the following qualifications necessary to provide this expertise:
a.
Baccalaureate degree or equivale.nt in engineering or related sciences, and b.
Licensed as a senior operator on the particular nuclear power unit (s),
and
,0 c.
Specific training in the response to and analysis of plant transients and accidents, plant design and layout, capabilities of instrumentation and controls in the control room (i.e. current STA training as deli-r.eated in NUREG-0737), and training in the relationship of accident conditions to offsite consequences and protective action strategies.
