20555 RE:
WM. H.
ZIMMER NUCLEAR POWER STATION -
UNIT 1 - PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
Dear Mr..Denton:
The following represents our understanding of the information requested by Mr. Walter Haass and other staff members during the teleconference on December 6.
Section 14.2.3.11 of the FSAR describes the function, responsibility, and authority of the Reactor Engineer during startup testing activities.
To supplement the Reactor Engineer in_the development and conduct of appropriate nuclear related startup tests, a nuclear engineer has been appointed to the 1
station technical staff.
The qualifications of this engineer exceed the minimum requirements of ANSI N18.1.
The attached i
resume describes in detail his education and e perience qualifications.
His active paruicipation in all phases of reactor engineering, which includes involvement in test procedure pre-paration, and review.and evaluation of test results, has commenced.
He will participate in Station Review Board Sessions during. scheduled discussions involving reactor engineering-related topics, procedures, and tests.
This nuclear engineer will continue to be assigned to the site during the period from fuel loading'through six months of
-power operation in order to provide ^ guidance and counsel to
'the Reactor Engineer..

Page #2 Unit 1 - Personnel Qualifications s
An' effort has been underway for over 6. months 1to appropriate 1y' staff the Maintenance Supervisor position.
1 This position will be filled by March 1, 1979 with either a permanent CG&E employee or contract personnel. 'In~either i
event, the minimum qualifications.of ANSI N18.1 and,the-
)
qualifications described ^in Section 13.1.3.1.5 of the FSAR will be a requisite for this position.
Clarification and further expansion.of personnel qualifications described'in Section 14.2.4.2 of'the FSAR is provided as follows:.
.i
- 14. 2. 4. 2 (a) :
A' minimum of 24 years of appli-1 cable power plant experience, at least 1 year of which shall be nuclear power plant experience, i
shall be required for test engineers. holding a bachelor's degree in either engineering, science, mathematics, or the equivalent.
- 14. 2. 4. 2 (b) : ' " Credit for up to a maximum of 2 years of this-5 year experience requisite may be fulfilled by..."
is understood:to apply only to the non-nuclear portion of the experience i
requirements.
Because.the Station Review Board (SRB) functions as j
l a review body duringl procedure and/or tes* results review, 3
the requisite.of.8 years of applicable power plant experience, l
a minimum of 2 years of which shall be nuclear plant experience, shall apply to the quorum of this board during the procedure and/or test results review.
