Dear Mr. Vassallo:
The c,ualifications and training of five personnel assigned to Shift Technical Advisor responsibilities at Cooper Nuclear Station were submitted to you in reference 1.
By reference 2 you approved our STA training program for CNS and accepted those five individuals as STA's.
By references 3 and 4 we submitted the qualifications and training documentation of two permanent replacements for two of the individuals previously accepted by reference 2.
Due to the internal reassignment of one of the original individuals, Robert J. Black, it is necessary to add a permanent replacement.
We are thus submitting Attachment I to document the qualification and training of a replacement, David C. Shrader.
Effective immediately, we will be using this individual as a qualified STA since he has completed the requirements of our existing program.
In view of pending Commission policy regarding engineering expertise on shift and in recognition of our goal to establish a sixth operations shift for training at CNS, the District has reassessed its Shift Technical Advisor program.
As a result, it now is our intention to provide STA training to station engineers so that they may relieve the operational staff of this responsibility. The training program, outlined in Attachment 2, is currently in progress.

As the degreed engineers complete their STA training and qualification, they will be phased into the STA position on a duty day rotational basis.
Once established, the revised STA program would provide for a degreed qualified STA on site and available to each shift in the control room within ten minutes.
In a related matter, CNS will provide health physics and chemistry expertise-to each shift _by the assignment of a Health Physics / Chemistry Technician to the alte in a duty day s.atus available to the control room in a manner similar to the revised STA program. This manning will permit the HP staff to participate more effectively in an intensified HP training program presently -
being established at CNS.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact P. V. Thomason at Cooper Nuclear Station.
Sincerely, E
M. Pilant Technical Staff Manager-Nuclear Power Group JMP/ gat:rs30/6 Attachment

Dear Bill,
During the period of February 12, 1983 to February li, 1983 the following individuals successfully completed a simulator training session which included the performance of the exercises listed in Enclosure 1:
Mike Culjat
- SRO Shift Supervisor Jeff Boyd
- SRO Unit I Operator David Shrader - SRO Unit I Operator Mike Wolken
- Plant Engineer The selection of exercises was based on INPO Guidelines " Nuclear Power Plant Shift Technical Advisor". The INPO Guideline also recommends performance of " Dropped Rod While at Power" and "Inadvertant Start of Idle Recirculation Pump".
These exercises were not performed due to limitations of the simulator.
Following each exercise, a critique / discussion was held to enhance the simulator training.
Student participation in all these exercises was very good and the students demonstrated very good understanding of plant response and procedure usage.
During the same period the above listed students also attended classroom training on the subjects listed in Enclosure 2.
The classroom period consisted of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of formal lecture / discussion.
