laying cat the console for the Crystal Siver No. 3 tr.it. .

h. The entire apprcach in the desic of'the sinulator h:s been ti provide a piccc .of "high fidelity" equipec:t which vill o; crate in real t'ico. We have acecr.plished this eith the equ!p cat purchssed a:d as such, there' are no discernible limitations in the accuracy of si=ulating operation.

There may be, hevcVer, differences in the scope of instrumentation as presented by the simulator and as provided by TPC*and also in the ar- ,

rancement or desi C n of the console. These differences will be slight compared with differences that a trainic vould experience by going into ,

any plant in operatica today or in 1970 when the training vill be required. , ,

q 5 Provision for training the operctors in absorsal c;erating situutions or ,

"casualtics" is quite extensive. Casualties can te introduced either on

a procras: sed basis or directly by the instructcrs a.-d are donc in such a manner that the atmosphere of an artifically i=;esci cendition is evcided.

. At the present time, ve are progra==ihg sp;roxi stely 80 casualties which

. involve the control rod drive syste=, nuclear instru=entation syste=,

. reactor coolant system, secondsry pitat turbine ar.d feedvster syster.s, auxiliary syste:s, cnd electrical syytems. In addition to the preceding, the instructor has the ability to i=;oco redundant casualtics concurrent .

vith those progra==ed. It' is anticipated that all of these casualties .

vill be imposed a nu=ber of times, since i=.srove: st in response by the operator to a situation is the =ctns of evaluati=c the operator. .

The propoced cu/riculu= for the classrcom training assnitted with the P'#a Si=ulator operation is given in Table 3. " Tentative Cutline, Ecactor Subjects During Operational Thase of Opct-stor Training Procrr: (7"sse IV)". .

Optional training at the C::;wy's Kuclear Dcvelop cat "e *.er is described in Section b.3 of the Ti-r.icia; Guide,i reference (1). .e v:uld propose that
