' Areas Inspected _: Special safety inspection by regional inspectors of the NRC requalification exam results and requalification training program review (41701).
Results: No violations or deviations were identified; however, significant deficiencies were identified in the requalification training program. Subsequent to a November 13, 1986, management meeting (Paragraph 4) a meeting was held at the Quad Cities Station between NRC and Station Management on November 21, 1986, to discuss the problems identified in this report.

ATTACHMENT accordance with the requirements for a requalification program training schedule. Specifically 10 CFR 55, Appendix A, requires that lecture be performed on a regular and continuing basis throughout the license pericd. The perfomance of 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> lecturc, once a year, while perhaps meeting the law, may not meet the intent of the law.
This potential disparity will be tracked as an unresolved item (254/86020-01(0LS); 265/86019-01(0LS)) pending NRC resolution. The licensee's new requalification training program should satisfy this requirement. The licensee is implementing a six shift rotation with their licensed personnel which will allow for training each shift every fifth or sixth week. This will enable them to perform training on a regular and continuing basis and satisfy the requirements of the regulation, b.
Lecture Formal classroom lectures are an integral part of any requalification training program and are a requirement of 10 CFR 55, A.ppendix A.
The letures should be performed en a regular and continuing basis throughout the license period and include those areas where the annual exams indicate a need for more coverage.
The licensee's formal classroom lecture portion of the requalification program occurred over a two week period in which 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> were spent in lecture.
Exceptions were noted however, where classroom time was as little as three days and as much as three weeks in one year.
For all eceptions identified, the lecture time exceeded the 80 hour9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> in two year requirement of their program. The inspector's felt the 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> requalification classroom training, in light of the NRC requalification exam results, was insufficient to adequately cover the required information. This was conveyed to the responsible individuals in the training department in addition to station management at the exit interview. The licensee concurred with the inspectors and outlined their plan to increase requalification lecture time from eight to 22 days per year.
One area from the NRC requalification exam results which was identified as being deficient was procedure knowledge and comprehension, particularly in the Emergency (QGA), Abnormal (Q0A)
and Normal (QOP) procedures. The inspectors determined that, although, some procedures were covered in training, they were generally not covered during formal lecture periods and were addressed primarily by inclusion in required reading (see Paragraph 3.c).
An exception to this was the Emergency procedures.
The Licensee had held initial formal training on the Emergency procedures when they were written and introduced in late 1985.
The subject of formal procedure training was discussed with instructors and licensed individuals during the interview process.
The general consensus of those interviewed was that procedures could not be taught and attempting to do so would be non prcductive and a waste of time. Because of the pervasive opinion that procedures cannot be taught, the inspectors noted to the licensee that the quality of the procedure training that has been performed
