Dear Mr. Denton:
We purpose of this letter is to respoM to the reference letter which requests the current status of and our future plans to meet the Comnission's Policy Statement on providing engineering expertise on shif t. As discunsed in Generic Letter 86-04 the Comnission is enec ' raging licensees to move toward the dual-role (SRO/STA) with the eventual goal of the Shift Supervisor serving in the dual-role. The specific requests and responses are as follows:
Request 1 W e current program at Wolf Creek Generating Station (VCGS) for providing engineering expertise on shift.
Peply Kansas Gas and Electric Conpany (KG&E) has always pursued a program at WCGS to provide engineering expertise on shift without utilizing the Shift Technial Advisor (STA) options made available through the various iterations of the Coninission's Policy Statement. The FCGS program has been designed to upgrade the qualifications of the Senior Reactor Operators (SROs) through a KG&E sponsored college program. This program ensures that each Shift Supervisor has 60 semester hours of appropriate technical college courses.
The course content of this program meets the guidelines of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) for STA training as identified in the INPO document appeMed to NUREG-0737 (Appendix C). We courses were conducted at VCGS by faculty members from the Engineering and Engineering Technology Departments of Kansas State University and Pnporia State University under the auspices of their nachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Program.
