The inspector noted that even though the required records are main-tained they are not organized in such a manner as to provide much usefulness except to the Training Supervisor. Therefore, a dif-ferent method of maintaining records was identified to the licensee and the method of training record documentation will remain an open item until a subsequent inspection is made to insure sufficient useful documentation to personnel other than the Training Supervisor is established.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were noted.
