Mar 44St< M 6fM The Secretary of the Commission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Cannission Washington, DC 20555.
Attention: Docketing and Service Branch Daar Sirs:
I am writing to corment on proposed rule changes to 10CFR Parts 50 and 55; Education and Experience Requirements for Senior Reactor Operators and Supervisors at Nuclear Power Plants.
It is my opinion that-the alternatives proposed will not further ensure the protection of the public nor will it enhance the capability of the operating: staff to respond to accidents or restore the reactor to a safe e
and stable condition. 'Neither alternative should be enacted as ruls.
~
-- e My greatest objection to toth alternatives is that they would eventualy reduce to nothing the number of Rdactor Operators (ROs) advancing to Senior Operator (S0s). Contrary to the times stated in the notice, it typicaly would take an RO 7 to 8 years to obtain a BS degree while continuing to work on a rotating shift as an RO. Few people find thmselves in a position to make this type of ccanitment for that anount of time. The net result would be sos obtained by hiring and training degreed individuals with little operating experience, reducing the operating experience level of S0s. This will block career advancement at the RO level. This career stagnation at the RO level will make it nore difficult to find notivated people to fill both Auxiliary Operator (AO) and RO positions.
Both alternatives to the proposed rule change provide no enhanc m ent of reactor safety. Both alternatives will reduce the experience level of Sos. Both alternatives will cause career stagnation and animosity anong Ros and Aos. For these reasons naitbar alternative shonM ie enacted as rule.
