The inspector reviewed the training records which indicated that all STAS originally designated as such had completed the required training and successfully passed examinations in the nine areas. These records also indicated successful completion of self-study lesson plans. The inspector also aviewed a selected number of exams taken by the STAS. and no unac.ceptable conditions were found. All current STAS are currently undergoing SR0 requalification.
Four additional STAS are currently being trained.
(0 pen) Inspector Follow Item (IFI 289/80-19-11):
Implementation of Training Department Administrative Manual. The inspector reviewed the training manual and found the manual to be incomplete. Additionally, Licensee Audit S-TMI-81-12 (Aug. - Sept. '81) identified this and other deficiencies in the training program. The audit was terminated prior to completion because the identified deficiencies made continuation very difficult (inability to effectively trace records, lack of interfacing programs, etc.).

Program Description TMI-1 to the NRC for approval.
Currently, training of licensed-operators is being accomplished in accordance with AP 1006, Operator Fequalification Program, Rev. 4 that addresses post modification training. Additional?y, AP 1043, Engineering Changes Modifications, Rev. 1, establishes a method for determining what other plant st'ff require post modification training. Since this method was recently established, the inspectors were unable to determine if the method was adequate and effective. This item remains open pending this determination during a subsequent inspection.
(0 pen) Inspector Follow Item (IFI 289/80-21-22):
Inadequacies in the training program for nonlicensed personnel. The licensee has established a training program for nonlicensed personnel.
However, sections on instructor development, shift technical advisor training, supervisory development and management development are still in draft form.
Additionally, a recent audit (see item 80-19-11 above) identified a number of deficiencies. This item remains open pending verification during a subsequent inspection that the program has been fully established and implemented (by reviewing selected portions of the program and/or results of a 1982 licensee audit of nonlicensed training).
