, reactor physics. Educational alternatives for the combined SRO/STA option, as delineated in the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift, are as follows: i. Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited institution; ii. Professional Engineer's license obtained by the successful completion of the PE examination; iii. Bachelor's degree in engineering technology from an accredited institution, including course work in the physical, mathematical, or engineering sciences; or iv. Bachelor's degree in a physical sciences from an accredited institution, including course work in the physical, mathematical, or engineering sciences.73 B. Training i. Reactor Operations Training The STAindividuals providing engineering and accident assessment expertise on shift should be trained in the details of the design, function, arrangement, and 74 operation of the plant systems. This training is necessary to assure ensure that the meaning and significance of instrument readings and the effect of control actions are known. A graduate engineer not previously licensed or trained as an operator or senior operator would require additional training to fulfill these requirements.75 characteristic. ii. Transient and Accident Response Training In addition to the training in normal operations, anticipated transients, and accidents presently required of operators and senior operators, the shift technical advisorindividuals providing engineering and accident assessment expertise on shift should be trained to recognize and react to a wide range of unusual 76 situations including multiple equipment failures and operator errors. This training should not be limited to written procedures or specific accident scenarios, but should include the recognition of symptoms of accident conditions such as complex transient responses or inadequate core cooling and possible 13.2.2-13 DRAFT Rev. 1 - April 1996 corrective actions. The purpose of this training is to broaden the ability for
