Omaha Public Power District 1623 HARNEY a OMAHA, NEBRASMA 68102 a TELEPHONE 536-4000 AREA CODE 402 July 1, 1982 LIC-82-250 Mr. Robert A. Clark, Chief U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Licensing Operating Reactors Branch No. 3 Washington, D.C. 20555

Docket No. 50-285

Dear Mr. Clark:

flinimum Shift Crew NUREG-0737, Item I.A.1.3.2 Omaha Public Power District's letter dated June 4,1982 provided the District's schedules for completing those NUREG-0737 tasks identi-fied in Generic Letter 82-10, dated May 5,1982. Specifically, for Item I.A.1.3.2, the District stated that we would meet the minimum staffing requirements for operations personnel by July 1,1982. As detailed below, the District now expects to fully meet the minimum staffing requirements by October 15, 1982.

To meet the NUREG-0737, Item I. A.1.3.2, shif t manning requirements for operating modes, each shift must be comprised of two Senior Reactor Operators (SR0's), two Reactor Operators (R0's), and two Auxiliary Operators (A0's). The Fort Calhoun Station Technical Specifications presently require each shift to include one SRO, two R0's, and two A0's.

In early 1981, the District initiated an extensive operator training program to upgrade the operations staffing to add one SR0 to each of the six operating shifts.

l l As of June 4,1982, the District had upgraded licensed operators such that five of the six shifts consisted of two SR0's, two R0's, and j two A0's. The remaining shift consisted of one SRO, three R0's, and two A0's. One of the three R0's in the sixth shift had completed the SR0 training program and took the SR0 examination in March, 1982. Having failed the March examination, the District had a request pending to waive the required six month waiting period to allow this R0 to retake the examination and thus allow the District to meet the July 1, 1982 commitment. The District was recently informed that the request for waiver has been denied, leaving a total of eleven qualified SR0's to man the six operating shifts. The District believes it is highly desirable to retain six operating shifts to maintain existing levels of OY

Mr. Robert A. Clark LIC-82-250 Page Two operator training, minimize overtime, permit vacations, and allow for contingency planning in developing operating schedules. Anticipating retirement of one SR0, the District presently has the one operator scheduled to retake the SR0 examination and one operator scheduled to take his first SR0 examination in September,1982. Successful com-pletion of the SR0 examinations by the two operators will enable the District to place two SR0's on each shift.

Allowing five weeks for grading of these examinations, the District expects to fully meet the shift manning requirements of Item I.A.1.3.2 by October 15, 1982.

Sincerely,
