_ , . The licensee scheduled sessions which included the weak areas ( identified by the 1975 examination; but during the 1976 sessions held, these areas were not adequately covered nor evaluated due to the change in scope of the sessions caused by the extended plant outage and plant modifications.

The inspector's review of the areas revealed that the licensee has scheduled retraining sessions for 1977 to complete the formal retraining program.

The 1977 sessions include repeat items to insure coverage of the inadequacies identified for the 1976 sessions.

These areas include: (1) Radiation Protection Manual Review (also a weak area from 1975 annual examination) (2) Principles of Reactor Operation (also a weak area from 1975 annual examination) (3) Technical Specifications Review (4) Standard and General Operating Procedures (also a weak area from 1975 annual examination) The areas which were not adequately covered and are to be included with the 1977 formal sessiona include: (1) Liquid Poison System . (2) Fuel Handling and Core Parameters The inclusion of these items in the 1977 retraining formal classroom sessions conducted on a once-per-five week basis withtheappropriateexaminationandevalygpfgpperformedin accordance with the licensee's commitment-- -- appears ade-quate. This will be carried as an open item pending the completion of the 1977 portion of the licensee operator requalification program.

No further questions are required of the retraining records at this time and this matter is considered resolved.

The management centrol method appeared adequate to the inspector and the issuance of an operating order to fully implement the management control method, followed by a procedure revision as required should prevent any noncompliance with 10 CFR 20.203.
