Haddam Neck Plant Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos.1,2, and 3 Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shif t (Generic Letter 86-04)
Generic Letter 36-04(1) provided licensees and applicants with a copy of the Final Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shif t (50FR43621). The intent of the Policy Statement is to ensure that adequate engineering and accident assessment expertise is available at all times, and to provide licensees with latitude ig meeting the Shif t Technical Advisor (STA) requirements from NUREG-0737(2i and the staffing requirements of 10CFR50.54(m). The Policy Statement offers licensees two options for meeting the requirements for engineering expertise on shif t(3). Option 1 of the Policy Statement would allow (1)            H. R. Denton letter to All Power Reactor Licensees and Applicants for Power Reactor Licenses, dated February 13,1986, Generic Letter 36-04.
(2)            N UREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements, dated October,1980, item I.A.I.1, Shif t Technical Advisor.
(3)            The only legally binding requirements regarding engineering expertise on shif t of which we are aware are contained in Item I.A.I.1 of NUREG-0737.
Although NUREG-0737 is not itself a legally binding document, the specific STA requirements from NUREG-0737 have been the subject of plant-specific confirmatory orders.            It is important to note that the
                             " requirements" described in the Policy Statement are not legally binding upon licensees. Thus, discussion herein of " requirements for engineering expertise on shif t" refers to the NUREG-0737 requirements and not to the
                                                                                                                                $3'

the STA position to be filled by one of the two Senior Reactor Operators required by 10CFR50.54(m)(2); this individual would serve in a dual role (SRO/STA) capacity. Option 2 permits licensees to continue to use an NRC-approved STA program while meeting licensed operator staffing requirements.
Additionally, although not stated in Generic Letter 36-04, the Policy Statement also provides for consideration of license proposals by the NRC Staff which are
 ,               different from the above two options.
Generic Letter 86-04 requested that licensees provide the following information:
(1)- The licensee's current program for providing engineering expertise on shif t, (2)     If the current STA program utilizes an " equivalency" criteria to an engineering degree, a description of the criteria used; and (3)     A description of any planned modifications to the current program in order to take advantage of the options identified in the Commission's Policy Statement.
The purpose of this letter is to provide Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company's (CYAPCO's) and Northeast Nuclear Energy Company's (NNECO's) response to Generic Letter 86-04 on behalf of the Haddam Neck Plant and 4
Millstone Unit Nos.1, 2, and 3, respectively. The discussion provided below applies to the Haddam Neck Plant and Millstone Unit Nos. I and 2. Regarding Millstone Unit No. 3, we note that each shift utilizes an individual in the dual SRO/STA role who is qualified in accordance with the Policy Statement. This is documented in Section 13.1.2 of NUREG 1031, Supplement No. 4. No changes to this program are planned for Millstone Unit No. 3 at this time. If any changes to the current approach are to be made, we envision that they will.be of a type
                                                                                         ~
which will render the Millstone Unit No. 3 approach similar or identical to that in use at the other three nuclear units in the NU system.                                                                                    3 Haddam Neck Plant, Millstone Unit Nos. I and 2

Although this program does not meet the educational criteria specified in the Policy Statement, we believe that it provides a sound and thorough educational                                                                 !
I               background. We firmly believe that an individual who possess an SRO license and who has successfully completed this program is well qualified to function in the dual role capacity. As such, we request that the Staff review our program on the
                " case-by-case" basis discussed in the Policy Statement. We do not believe that providing a response only to the above questions would adequately describe our position with respect to this issue, nor would it accurately reflect the significance of our long-term commitment to improving the qualifications of our
_ operations' staff s.         We are taking this opportunity to provide the Staff with a discussion of CYAPCO's and NNECO's initiatives in this area over the past 5 years, which we believe is important in the evaluation of our program.

 ,                                            that additional technical, educational, and analytical capability, dedicated to concern for the safety of the plant, needed to be provided in the control j-                                           room to support the diagnosis of off-normal events and to advise the Shif t Supervisor on actions to terminate or mitigate the consequences of such events.(4).
The initial NRC " requirement" for the STA position was transmitted in letters from D. G. Eisenhut and H. R. Denton dated September 13, 1979 3
and October 30, 1979(5)(6). These letters required that an individual with a                    '
bachelor's-degree "or equivalent" and additional training in plant-specific transient and accident response be available to the control room personnel
:                                            at all times,' within 10 minutes. The STA was required to be on duty as of January 1,1980.
[
In a {{letter dated|date=December 31, 1979|text=December 31, 1979 letter}} (7), CYAPCO and NNECO described their plans for meeting this Staff " requirement", utilizing additional personnel (mostly degreed at the B.S. or higher level) who were assigned twenty four 4
hour rotating duty. These individuals received the required specialized training and were placed on duty on or before January 1,1980.
Subsequently, on October 31,'1980(8), the NRC issued NUREG-0737, which
;-                                           contained the set of TMI Action Plan requirements that had been approved by the Commission for implementation at that' time.                              Item I. A. I.1 concerned Shif t Technical Advisors. NUREG-0737 Item I.A.I.1 required

It was recognized by CYAPCO and NNECO (and other licensees) at the time that providing the STA function was best accomplished through an interim program and a longer term technical upgrading program. In fact, all of our correspondence with the Staff regarding the STA " requirement" specifically described both interim and longer term plans. The Staff has been aware for over 5 years that our long term plans consisted of upgrading the qualifications of shif t supervisors and supervisory control operators to meet or exceed requirements for the STA established by INPO and endorsed by the Staff.(8)(9)
In response to item I December 31,1980(10).A.l.1            of NUREG-0737 and subsequent  submittals,and as described CYAPCO          in the and NNECO initially contracted with Memphis State University (MSU) to implement an STA program that met the INPO guidelines. Docketed submittals since that time have made it explicitly clear that once an adequate number of shif t supervisors completed this training (and additional management and non-technical training specified by CYAPCO and NNECO) that the separate interim STA position would be eliminated and the dual role (SRO/STA) concept would be utilized. We note that, significantly, these plans were in full compliance with NRC's criteria and INPO guidelines for Shif t Technical Advisors.
Following a review of CYAPCO's and NNECO's long term program description the Staff issued Safety Evaluations for NUREG-0737 Item I.A.I.l(ll)(12) which concluded that:
                  "your STA training program is acceptable in meeting the intent of the guidelines set forth in the above referenced letters."
The "above referenced letters" included NUREG-0737, which clearly referred to the INPO Standard " Nuclear Power Plant Shif t Technical Advisor - Recommendations for Position Description, Qualifications, Education, and Training" as " acceptable for interim guidance for a utility (9)  D.

i in planning its STA program over the long term," (emphasis added)(13). To our knowledge, this guidance has not been superseded.
Even though the Memphis State University program was found acceptable                                        ,
by the Staff, after some experience had been gained in its implementation we identified several areas where the program could be improved. (As a                                       g result, CYAPCO and NNECO elected to custom-design, in conjunction with a local technical college, an educational program specifically tailored to nuclear power plant operation. This program was developed to meet the existing NRC; and INPO criteria, with an additional objective of qualification of personnel for other positions at our nuclear facilities in addition to the STA. This program was developed in conjunedon with the Thames Valley State Technical College (TVSTC) as a two year, Associates Degree Program in Nuclear Engineering Technology. The curriculum was                            'l developed jointly between NU and TVSTC, and the program has. received                               -'
4 formal licensure from the State of Connecticut. The Sta!! was informed of the details of this program in a {{letter dated|date=November 18, 1983|text=letter dated November 18, 1983}}(14).
Implementation of the TVSTC program began in December,1983.
Alternatives to Existing Program CYAPCO and NNECO have periodically examined possible alternatives for providing engineering expertise on shift, both during development of our long-term STA plans and during NRC's deliberations on the final Policy Statement. While we believe that the TVSTC program is adequate to satisfy the intent of the Policy Statement, we have investigated alternatives.in the event it is not acceptable to the Staff. Essentially, (13) In summary, CYAPCO's and NNECO's plans were made well 1:nown to the Staff in December,1980 in response to an NRC request for information.
Approximately one year later, in early 1982, the Staff approved .these plans, implicitly approving CYAPCO's and NNECO's proposal to utilipe the
,                   dual role concept. Although we acknowledge that the Staff's SER states that the NUREG-0737 criteria are accepia'oie for " interim" guidasice, we note that it has been over four years since the SER's were issued and almost six years since issuance of the initial STA " requirement". CYAPCO and NNECO and other licensees have invested substantial resources in training in general, and in STA qualifications in specific based on this
                    " interim" g0idance. We question the value of, that " interim guidance" for ~
i                  establishing long term plans when it is substantially changed more than 5 years after issuance. In particular, we initiated a program that fully met NRC criteria and which was reviewed and approved by the NRC, and have been implementing it for approximately 5 years. We are very concerned                      '
over the potential for. the Policy Statement to invalidate this long term good f aith effort. Understandably, crite.ria changes such as this can only                                  l have a negative effect on,the willingness of licensees to be responsive to
                    " interim" criteria in the future.

               -t          1 there are two potential alternatives which would meet the Policy Statement. These are:
o Continue education to the B.S. level for shif t supervisors and supervisory control operators who have completed the TVSTC program, or -
o Resume the use of the dedicated STA.
We do not believe that the dedicated STA is a viable and worthwhile option.
First,- although the dedicated STA is required to have a B.S. degree, or equivalent, he is not required to hold an SRO license. We believe that a better perspective and integration into the shif t crew will result if the STA is one of f
* the on-shif t SROs. There is evidence that dedicated STAS have been of limited value.(15) We share the Commission's preference for a combined SRO/STA position and we do not believe that the dedicated STA position is the preferred
     ,                               approach.
During the time period that our interim STA program was in effect, the NRC reviewed and approved a number of non-degreed individuals as STAS based on the
!-                                    degree " equivalency" provision in the NUREG-0737 criteria. It is interesting to
                                    . note that, in the NRC's judgement, these individuals are qualified to serve as a dedicated STA (Option 2 of the Policy Statement) yet they are not qualified to serve as SRO/STA (Option 1 of the Policy Statement). This is even more difficult to understand given the much greater degree of involvement in operations of the SRO/STA, which is an additional objective of the Policy 4
Statement and, in fact, one of the primary factors in the Commission's preference for the combined role.
We also do not believe that there would be any benefit realized by continuing the TVSTC program to the B.S. degree level. First, such an undertaking would require that the same senior, SRO licensed personnel be taken off shif t for an extended (i.e. - 2 years) period of time to complete their education. We believe that this would result in a short term decrease in experience and qualifications
 ;                                  -available to the shif t crew, without a compensating long term benefit. There
[                                   would also be very significant costs associated with this option. A detailed evaluation of this option as per NRC sequirements iur imposing incisfits on operating reactors would most likely conclude that this option is not justified.
A study was conducted which compared the content of the INPO STA guidelines
:                                    (which have been endorsed by the NRC) with that provided by the Bachelor of
,                                    Science programs in Nuclear Engineering (NE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) at a reputable, accredited college. The results of this study are included as Attachment 1. As expected, the Nuclear Engineering
,                                    curriculum comes closest to meeting the INPO objectives, but even it falls short in many significant areas. It is even more apparent that other engineering i                                    programs are much less relevant to nuclear power plant operation. This leads to the obvious conclusion, which we have advocated for many years and which the TVSTC program adequately addresses, that it is very inappropriate to focus t   O                                (15) For example, see IE Circular No. 81-04, "The Role of Shif t Technical
;                                           Advisors and Importance of Reporting Operational Events," and Enclosure A to SECY 84-106, " Proposed Rulemaking Concerning Requirements for Senior Managers."
l         u
 ' ' ' f;   ..

t  1 exclusively on the paper product (i.e. - B.S. degree) without any(16) regard to the curriculum content.
There is also a significant amount of material covered in Bachelors of Engineering programs which is irrelevant to nuclear power plant operation. We see no need to require that an individual serving in the dual role have this knowledge. The TVSTC program provides the required educational background; we see no need to expand this program to cover subject matter that is of little relevance to nuclear power operation.
It is important to understand that one of the primary objectives in developing the TVSTC Program was to structure a curriculum that would provide a thorough education in the areas of knowledge that are important in safe nuclear power plant operation. This program was specifically designed as a tailor-made Associates Degree Program in Nuclear Engineering Technology and was developed with substantial utility nuclear operations input. We are not aware of any other comparable custom-made program.                         We believe that this developmental effort is what makes the TVSTC program unique, and as a result, provides a comparable level of relevant knowledge as compared to the INPO guidelines. A copy of the course curriculum is included as Attachment 2 and a comparison of the curriculum to the INPO guidelines is provided in Attachment 3.
For these reasons, we believe that the TVSTC program which we have developed, combined with an SRO license, is the optimal approach to providing engineering expertise on shif t. .
Implementation of Dual-Role Qualification We believe it is apparent from the preceeding discussion that CYAPCO and NNECO have not merely been passively implementing a program that (originally) minimally met regulatory requirements. Recognizing the relatively long period of time required to upgrade the qualifications on all shif ts, we took the initiative to structure a program uniquely designed to be responsive to the engineering expertise on shif t issue. A substantial investment has been and continues to be made to ensure that individuals who are an integral part of the shift complement L                        have the desired level of expertise.
Further, CYAPCO and NNECO have not stopped at the point where only one individual on shift has dual role qualification. Rather, most shif ts have two dual-role qualified individuals. The attached Table 1 identifies the specifics for each unit as currently structured. We are not commiting to provide this additional
;                        expertise to the NRC, but we have every intention of continuing to exceed the I
minimum requirements.

Our plans for providing engineering expertise on shif t and utilizing the dual role concept with individuals qualified per the programs described above have been made explicitly clear to (and, in fact, approved by) the Staff in docketed correspondence for over five years. We firmly believe that the individuals presently serving in the dual role capacity are well qualified to provide the engineering expertise and accident assessment function, and will continue to do so. We believe that our TVSTC program should be judged acceptable by the Staff on a case-by-case basis.
In response to the second question posed by Generic Letter 86-04, we note that we do not use the concept of " equivalence" to describe our TVSTC program. We do not represent it as " equivalent" to a B.S. degree program. Rather, it is a better, more refined, and more directly relevant educational curriculum for satisfying the objectives of the Policy Statement, with which we agree completely.
We remain available to provide more details or to discuss our program with you at your convenience.

e DEFINITIONS Instructional Hour A one-hour period of training in which the course instructor (the appropriate supervisor in on-the-job training phases) is present or readily available for instructing or assisting the trainee. One hour devoted to any of the following activities is considered an instructional hour under this definition: lectures, seminars, dis-cussions, problem-solving sessions, quizzes, examinations, on-the-job training, laboratory exercises, and simulator exercises.
Power Plant Experience Experience acquired in the testing, operation, and maintenance of power generating facilities. Experience in the design, construction and operationaltraining may be considered applicable power plant experience and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Nuclear Power Plant Experience Experience acquired in the preoperational and startup testing activities or operation of nuclear power plants. Experience in design, construction, and operational training may be considered applicable nuclear power plant experience and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Experience acquired at military, non-stationary, propulsion, or production nuclear plants may qualify as equivalent to nuclear power plant experience on a one-for-two time basis up to a maximum of three years.
                              . Training may qualify as equivalent to nuclear power plant experience if acquired in reactor simulator training programs to a maximum of three (3) months credit.
                             . On-the-job training may qualify as equivalent to nuclear power plant experience on a one-for-one time basis for up to a maximum of two years credit.
