C9&L Carolina Power & Light Company SEP 0 31985 SERIAL: NLS-85-300 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention:
Mr. D. B. Vassallo, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 2 Division of Licensing United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NOS.1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-325 & 50-324/ LICENSE NOS. DPR-71 & DPR-62 SHIFT TECHNICAL ADVISOR (STA) PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Vassallo:
As described in our letter of December 31,1980, the Shif t Technical Advisor (STA) program established by Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) is presently in compliance with item 1.A.I.1 of NUREG 0737. However, due to attrition of some of the STAS and in anticipation of further attrition, the Company has found it necessary to
' - rease the Brunswick STA staff from six STAS and one supervisor to nine STAS and one s+ervisor. This change will also allow for additional retraining of the STA staff and the use of their engineering / technical expertise for the Operation Unit's review of plant modifications being conducted at the Brunswick Plant.
In order to upgrade the STA staff to the level indicated above, the Company has initiated training of five additional CP&L employees to fill vacant STA positions. Prior to the completion of the training of these employees, it will be necessary for the Company to supplement the STA program with contract employees. These contract employees will be placed in the STA rotation wi.h the three CP&L qualified STAS.
Minimum requirements which the Company has established for the contract employees are:
1.
Candidate must hold a B.S. degree in Engineering or Applied Science.
2.
Candidate must be a currently certified Senior Reactor Operator (SRO).
3.
Candidate must have 18 months of power plart experience.
The contractors currently identified to fill the positions meet the minimum power plant experience with a combination of 12 months of commercial BWR power plant experience and a minimum of 5 years of Navy nuclear power plant experience.

Implementation of the program as described above began with the training mode on August 12,1985. Contract employees are anticipated to begin standing STA watches on or about September 1,1985.
Carolina Power & Light Company has determined that the use of the contract employees as stated above fulfills the STA requirements as specified in NUREG 0737. Again, please note that the use of contract employees to fill STA positions is an interim measure only; i
the Company expects to have a full STA staff made up of CP&L employees by i
June 1986.
