SECTION I PURPOSE l

The purpose of the Shift Advisor training program is to familiarize selected experienced and previously licensed SRO's from Connecticut Yankee and Millstone Unit 2 with Millstone Unit 3 Systems, Technical Specifications, and Operating Procedures used during Modes 1 and 2 operation. This program assumes that the prospective Shift Advisors are knowledgeable at the SRO level on such topics as nuclear power plant theory and plant transient and accident analysis because of their previous experience. It is not intended to train an individual to become a licensed RO or SRO. Successful completion of this program shall certify that, given their background, the Shift Advisors are sufficiently knowledgeable of Millstone Unit 3 to perform their designated functions and provide meaningful assistance to their assigned shifts.

r: -

.The. training program for the Millstone Unit 3 Shift Advisors' shall consist of. ten days of training consisting of'three

. segments: Classroom Training, Simulator: Training, and a final exasc ! .;c. tion / certification. The training program will commence approximately November 18, 1985. All' segments of this program-shall be completed prior to any individuals being installed on shif t . as :shif t advisors. The_ classroom segment of training shall-be completed by December 6, 1985. The Simulator segment of training shall 'be completed - by December 13, 1985.

,All' Shift Advisors holding ~an active license on Connecticut.
