| Title | Potential Failure to Correctly Implement a Systems Approach to Training for the Licensed Operator Requalification Program |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedures, training materials, and operator evaluation documentation pertaining to the LORT program to determine if the licensee was meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59, Requalification. The Point Beach Nuclear Plant Licensed Operator Continued Training Program Description (TPD) required the licensee to develop, maintain, and implement the LOCT program using a SAT process as described in the TPD, to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59(c). The TPD requires that the LOCT program content be composed of fixed and flexible components. Fixed components are defined by the TPD as tasks and/or topics that primarily address analyzed training needs and have been determined using the SAT process. The SAT process also determines on what frequency fixed tasks/topics should be taught, and the delivery method of the training. Flexible components are those that are responsive to other identified training needs and are used to correct actual or potential weaknesses in the performance of licensed personnel. Plant design changes are one example of a flexible topic in the facilitys TPD. During the review of the licensees Biennial and Long Range Training Plans, the inspectors identified that numerous fixed training tasks had been exempted to allow for scheduling constraints due to the licensees extended power uprate project outages. The only documentation available suggests the tasks were exempted primarily due to time constraints with little regard to the effect of the exemptions on the remaining adequacy of the SAT-based program. Site management contended that it was never their intent to remove the majority the exempted training tasks from the biannual training program and, in fact, had planned to return most if not all the material to the program. In support of this contention, the site developed a white paper explaining their decision making and included a list of 35 exempted topics/tasks that had already been trained on. Additionally, it was stated that all of the other exempted topics/tasks had now been rescheduled for completion. This issue is a URI pending further NRC review of the licensees contention and to complete an adequate assessment of the statements in the white paper related to the exempted training, URI 05000266/2011004-01; 05000301/2011004-01, Potential Failure to Correctly Implement a Systems Approach to Training for the Licensed Operator Requalification Program. |
