.

that it satisfies regulatory requirements and meets the licensee's commitment for training. The FSAR does not specifically identify any nuclear or industrial standards to which the licensee is committed. In {

conversation with the training manager, it was determined that the i licensee's training program conforms to ANSI standard N18.1-1971, '

" Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel."

The licensee's training programs for maintenance technicians and non-licensed operators was addressed in Inspection Report 50-275/87-1 This inspection report on the training program for principal and technical staff members, and QC inspectors. Training for non-licensed managers, supervisors and professional-technical staff as described in ANSI Standard N18.6-1971 requires, that if not already qualified by experience and academic related technical training they shall be qualified by programs in related technical training; by assignment at operating reactors or simulators; by participation in design, construction or startup activitie The FSAR describes training for non-licensed staff as follows: The experience obtained by PG&E since 1956 in training personnel for operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants has enabled it to clearly define the training requirements for each position in the plant organization and to evaluate the various means of obtaining this training. Based on this experienca, PG&E chose to utilize a combination of formal classroom training and on-the-job experience with operating nuclear plants to achieve its training goal The inspector examined the training programs and records for the technical staff members, QC inspectors, and principal staff member The principal staff's and technical staff members' initial qualifications were by academic and related technical training and qualified experience at operating reactors or simulators, or by participation in design, construction, or startup activities of nuclear power plant The Technical Staff Training Program is described in Administrative Procedure (AP) B-350, Revision 4. The technical staff at the Diablo Canyon Plant is comprised of individuals in several departments who perform engineering work in support of safe and efficient operation and maintenance of the plant. The individuals in these positions have varying backgrounds, education and work experience. However, there is a common need in each of these positions for technical training related to power plant fundamentals, the Diablo Canyon Plant systems and equipment, plant administration and systems engineerin The Technical Staff Training Program was developed to provide needed technical training for both incumbent and newly assigned engineering personnel. The program was designed based on an analysis of the tasks common to all the technical staff positions at the Diablo Canyon Plan The program includes an exemption process so that program requirements may be adapted to different individuals with varying background The Department Manager, may exempt an individual from requirements if equivalent knowledge has been gained elsewher .

In addition to the initial program, there is an ongoing continuing training program to maintain plant knowledge current through updates on plant changes, procedures changes, and significant plant and industry problems and event The new technical staff training curriculum (initial program) includes courses in fundamental concepts, documents and administrative procedures,

,

plant systems, administrative / personnel, and systems engineering. This new 18-week curriculum which is presently under review by INPO for accreditation was offered for the first time in January 5, 1987, with 15 technical staff members participating. The course was suspended after the 12th week (end of March) to allow for Unit 2 refueling outage which started April 3, 1987. The curriculum will be reconvened following Unit 2 outag The training department is presently developing a training program in accordance with INPO standards and requirements for the QC inspector The curriculum will have a total of thirty-two training modules with some modules having as many as three and four lesson plans. The present scheduled completion for this program is June / July, 198 The qualifications for QC inspectors are described in Procedure NPAP B-800, Revision 5, dated February 13, 1986. These qualifications for QC inspectors satisfy the qualification requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-1978,

" Qualifications of Inspection, Examination and Testing Personnel for the

'.

Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants." The qualification records for eighteen QC inspectors were examined to determine their conformance I

with Procedure NPAP-B-800. All records appeared to be in order except for a few minor clerical error The Management Staff Training Program is outlined in a paper prepared by the management development representative. The basic format of the Management Staff Training Program is the Zenger-Miller (ZM) " supervision" program used throughout the PG&E system. The curriculum consists of twenty-five training module The delivery of this training in order to meet two criteria; to maximize the long-term benefit (learning) and to minimize the short-term costs (time in training, away from the job), resulted in the "three orbit" approach for presenting the licensee's supervision training. The first

" orbit" basic principles is established as prerequisite for the other ZM module The second orbit known as the core is that set of modules i

determined to be of the highest priority from the needs analysis:

Delegating, Giving Recognition, Listening and Communicating, Correcting Problem Behavior, and Improving Employee Performanc The third orbit is "new modules" which reinforce and review supervisory

i skill Also included in this orbit are " tailor-made" modules addressing such areas as an Individual Performance Management performance review J

and " safety supervising."

The basic principal orbit is of fered six to eight times per year. The core is offered twice per year. Each new module, taught in two week blocks to aid scheduling, is offered once per yea . . . _ _ . - - . - - -

The general office offers resident management courses periodically in the city or at various other location where Diablo management staff members meet with managers for other company divisions to study various aspects 4 of personnel and employee problem A two-day supervisory orientation class which emphasizes communications and basic tools is presented one or two times per year for new supervisors. A work shop which stresses time management, inter personal

, relationships, technical writing, etc., is offered three or four times a year is also available to new supervisor Quarterly training seminars are available to all levels of employees at the Diablo plant. These training periods are normally offered to the individual discipline such as I&C technicians, electricians, QC inspectors, etc. The topics offered are general information,

>

lessons-learned and applicable technical developments peculiar to the particular discipline involved.

'

Eleven members of various maintenance technician disciplines, non-licensed operators and technical staff were interviewed to determine the effectiveness of the training programs and verify those training records that were examine It is concluded that the non-licensed staff training meets and satisfies the requirements of ANSI Standard N18.1-197 It is further concluded

, that the licensee's various non-licensed staff training programs are well planned, documented and acceptably implemente No violations or deviations were identifie . Followup of Open Items List (OIL) Part 21s The following Part 21 report applicable to some nuclear power plants was reviewed with the licensee:

OIL 86-14-P1, Automatic Sprinkler Corporation Model C deluge valves failed to ope The licensee concluded following his study of the above Part 21 report that the equipment described in this report is not installed at the Diablo Canyon Plant. Consequently, no action is required of the licensee. This item is close No violations or deviations were identifie . Exit Meeting The inspector conducted an exit meeting on April 24, 1987, with the plant

'

manager and other members of the plant staff. During this meeting, the inspector summarized the scope of the inspection activities and reviewed the inspection findings as described in this report. The licensee acknowledged the concerns identified in the repor . . - __ _ . _ - . - _ _ .
