Dear Mr. Pate:
I was pleased to receive your letter of September 24, 1985 describing the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations' (INP0's) proposal to expand its training initiatives by establishing an industry run " National Academy for Nuclear Training." I also received a letter from Senator Moynihan asking for the Commission's comments on the INP0 proposal. As stated in my reply to Senator Moynihan, a copy of which is enclosed for your information, if the academy is able to carry out its stated objectives of focusing and unifying the industry's training efforts, it should have a beneficial effect on overall reactor plant safety.
I look forward to the continued Commission interface with you in this area.
Commissioner Asselstine does not believe that the INP0 proposal for an industry run " National Academy for Nuclear Train'ing" contains any significant new features beyond those of the existing INP0 training accreditation program. While he supports the INP0 accreditation program as a useful first step in assuring effective individual utility training programs for nuclear powerplant personnel, Commissioner Asselstine continues to believe that there is great value in other initiatives to improve training.
Sincerely,
)
