~~~~r~0)~89 EAST AVENUE, ROCHESTER N.K 14649.0001 ROBERT C MECREDY Vice Prerldent Cinne Nuclear Production November 12, 1993 TE~~AREACODE Tie 546 2700 Mr.Lee Bettenhausen Operations Branch Chief Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region 1~w 475 Allendale Rd.King of Prussia, PA 19446 I r , r r-.SUBJECT: Examination Results and Planned Remedial Action'I REFERENCE:
Training Program Xhspection Report NO.50-244/93-19 I Dear Mr.Bettenhausen 0 As required by the Systems Approach to Training (SAT), Rochester Gas&Electric Corporation (RG&E)has reviewed operator perfor-mance on the RG&E administered 1993 Annual.Operator examination for areas of training process improvement.
These areas were discussed at the RG&E and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)meeting held on October 26th at the Region 1 office and were included as attachments to the referenced report.All licensed operators that=did not successfully complete the program requirements on this exam were immediately removed from shift.The License Review Board, composed of management and supervision from both the training and line organizations, reviewed each operator's performance.
The Board also directed that a root cause analysis (RCA)be conducted to determine the reason(s)for repeat failures as well as the number of failures.The Board looked at each individual's performance on all weekly quizzes, annual exams, and simulator evaluations.
Using this information, indiv'dua remedial programs were established for each operator.The remedial programs constructed included classroom sessions, self study exercises, simulator time and management interviews.
Operators identified as repeat failures warranted additional attention.
A diagnostic test constructed per the Examiner Standards (NUREG 1021)was given to ensure that each operator possessed a knowledge level which met the minimum requirements of NUREG 1021.Test results were also"used to determine additional weak areas which should be included in the individual remediatiop programs.These operators also participated in a"Learning Styles Xnventory" consisting of a number of testing instruments adminis-tered by an educational psychologist.
The results of this inventory will become part of the long term program to modify training material, as needed, to ensure that they receive the maximum benefits of training.Following remediation, individuals were returned to licensed duties.The RCA identified causes for'=-static-exam'failures and Reactor Operator (RO)written exam failures.Recommendations to prevent recurrence included an RO specific written exam, better validation of exam material, improved reference"material availability and written exam structure.

Training Program Ihspection Report NO.50-244/93-19
Dear Mr.Bettenhausen As required by the Systems Approach to Training (SAT), Rochester Gas&Electric Corporation (RG&E)has reviewed operator perfor-mance on the RG&E administered 1993 Annual Operator examination for areas of training process improvement.
These areas were discussed at the RG&E and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)meeting held on October 26th at the Region 1 office and were included as attachments to the referenced report.All licensed operators that did not successfully complete the program requirements on this exam were immediately removed from shift.The License Review Board, composed of management and supervision from both the training and line organizations, reviewed each operator's performance.
The Board also directed that a root cause analysis (RCA)be conducted to determine the reason(s)for repeat failures as well as the number of failures.The Board looked at each individual's performance on all weekly quizzes, annual exams, and simulator evaluations.
Using this in ormation, individua remedial programs were established for, each operator.The remedial programs constructed included classroom sessions, self study exercises, simulator time and management interviews.
Operators identified as repeat failures warranted additional attention.
A diagnostic test constructed per the Examiner Standards (NUREG 1021)was given to ensure that each operator possessed a knowledge level which met the minimum requirements of NUREG 1021.Test results were also used to determine additional weak areas which should be included in the individual remediation programs.These operators also participated in a"Learning Styles Inventory" consisting of a number of testing instruments adminis-tered.by an educational psychologist.
The results of this inventory will become part of the long term program to modify training 09 93i202038i 93iii2 PDR ADOCK 05000244 C PDR material, as needed, to ensure that they receive the maximum benefits of training.Following remediation, individuals were returned to licensed duties.The RCA identified causes for static exam failures and Reactor Operator (RO)written exam failures.Recommendations to prevent recurrence included an RO specific written exam, better validation of exam material, improved reference material availability and written exam structure.
