The schedule for Ei9's siculater is thst.it te c;erstier.?1 and debucccd, in early January,1970.. The.six- :r.th ;sried ;rcecedin; the first clas; vill be utill:cd by B57 perscnnel fir their own training in addition.to acquaintinC the AEO vith its functicas. Also, any modifications required in hardstre or ;rocrs= ming that =sy toccc.c a;part:t during this period vill also be exac. We feel that hacquate "cushler." has teen provided in the chcedule t. rcure that the ??O procram cr.n te.;rovided duri~ng the tir. period scheiuled.

and the required operational indicaters and clsr s.

The layout of the simulator vill te sent to you abcut the first of deptester for use in(

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 n of the console. These differences will be slight C

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=. rove: st in response by the s

operator to a situation is the =ctns of evaluati=c the operator.

This is an observation perici at an operating.9:essurized vatcr power reactor to provide the Bractical ba:kgrou d requir:d by the L'C.

We believe this residence time of Florida ;crs:: el at an operating reactor can be reduce,d from six (6) months to about three (3) months by use of the 35*/ si=ulator in Phase IV.

Also,'the require =ent for operation of this pcVer reactor can be eliminated completely if the B&W siculstor, toccther with ten (10) rtartupt on the Lynchburg ?cci Reactor, is utilized in Phase IV.
