2.0 Licensed Operator Training The Licensed Operator Training (LOT) Frogram is addressed by Calvert Clif fs Instruction (CCI) 604-I, "Licensed Operator Training." A review of this and other related Training Instructions (TI) was performed to verify that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 55.59 were being properly addressed and to ensure that adequatc program guidance was being provided to the LOT staff. This was accomplished through a review of the following performance based activities completed during the last two (2)
years by the LOT staff.
2.1 Reactivity Manipulations All Licensed personnel must be part of a requalification program that includes on-the-job training such that each individual either manipulates the plant controls (RO) or directs the activities of individuals during plant control manipulations (SRO) for the specific activities outlined in 10 CFR 55.59.
A review of the "Record of Reactivity Contr91 Manipulations" forms for the last requalification cycle,1987, was performed and no discrepancies were found. The review consisted of a sampling of approximately fif ten (15) forms out of the total number of Licensed personnel, approxiuately 70. When control manipulations are not performeri in the plant, credit is taken for actions which are performed on the simulator. Also, credit is taken for individuals who supervise or direct the actions in the simulator. This is in accordance with the Regulations.
In addition, most personnel are performing all the activities specified by the Regulations annually instead of on the allowabie two year cycle.

f 2.2 Schedoled Le:ture Attendance The LOT Progrart must contain regularly scheduled classroom lectures for all Licensed it.iividuals for the areas specified by the
Regulations. This requirement was verified by reviewing the 1987 i
,
and 1988 requalification records. No discrepancies were found in
!
this area, t
,
!
Individuals must sign an attendance sheet to receive credit for i
,
classroom participation. Missed lectures must be made up by the i
individual by an independent review of the respective Lesson Plans
or by discursion of the lecture mcterial with the responsible instructor. While documentation for the completion of this remedial i
,
- raining is not documented, the results of all quizzes were
.
ducumented and showed that ir,11vidual quiz f ailures were promptly f
corrected. This process was also verified through interviews with l
staff and Licensed personnel.

!
i 2.2 Lecture Content and Written Exsm Performance Results l
l To evaluate the effectiveness cf the training which the licensed
,
'
operators receive, weekly quirzes and an annual exam are used by the
LOT staff.
Six (6) quizzes from the 1987 and 1388 requalification
,
cycles were reviewed and found to adequately test the knowledge and
+
information which was disseminated during the associated week of L
training.
Important training for specific tasks such as complicated
.
surveillance tests, refueling, and emergency operating procedures i
]
was found to have been seneduled into the program.
Results from the
[
j 1987 requalification quizies and annual exam were extremely good with l
an overall average near 90L l
,
i The results of all quizzes and the annual exam are discussed in the i
first training session following the taking of that exam / quiz, f
i 2.3 Simulator Training Content _and Exam performance Results
_
[
,
]
Simulator training is typically designed so that a shift crew of four
!
(4) people are placed into an environment that (1) mimics conditions i
,
I normally seen in the plant, and (2) tests their ability to use i
abnormal and emergency procedures. This training accomplishes two I
.
(2) tasks.
First, it enables the crew to complete the manipulation
'
.
.
requirements specified in the Regulatiors. Second, it places the crew
into scent.rios which normally do not occur at the plant and allows
them to improve tFeir skills and abilities for handling these
,
'
situations, f

.
All licensed individuals are evaluated once a year in the simulator
to ensure that they maintain the appropriate level of skill and i
ability needed for their respective job.
Evaluators use a
,
formalized checklist to grade the operators performance.
Each t
operating crew member is examine <' by one evzluator during one or more scenarios which are similar in format to that which are used
.
!
during the weekly training classes.
After a review of approximately six (6) annual simulator exams it
'
was found that two (2) of the evaluators were using the checklists l
in an inconsistent manner.
These two (2) discrepancies, however, l
did not affect the overall evaluations of the individuals being l
examined. These inconsistencies have been corrected by a training
session on the proper use of the check 115ts.
In addition, to ensure a high degree of consistency among the evaluators, instructors have i
been given formalized training on the techniques of evaluation.
!
All licensed individuals successfully passed their respective 1987 annu:1 simulator examinations. Generic weaknesses among the operating crews were identified after all the exams had been
!
administered. These weaknesses,,ere then presented to the crews
during the first session of training following the exam in order to collectively discuss and resolve any problems.
Feedback from the
operating crews on their weaknesses has been found to increase the awareness of the operators and improve the training attaosphere.
,
2.4 Incorporation of Operating Events Into Training I
The incorporation of recent operating events into the tr'ining I
program allows operators to learn lessons from the mistakes of
!
others. This process has been well established in the LOT program.
'
l All LERs, 50ERs, and site specific Performance Improvement Reports
!
(PIRs) are analyzed by members of the LOT staff.
The disposition of
[
j each event is documented and when additional training has been t
determined to be necessary, a change in the respective Lesson Plan
"
'
is authorized.
e l
In an ettempt to reduce the number of human error related operatin]
i i
events at the plant, the facility held an LER Workshop with all the
!
j licensed and non-licensed operators. On March 7, 1988, the results (
i from a LER Workshop were disseminated to these operators, t
i
2.5 O nt Changes
!
I When the design of systems or components in the plant are to be
!
'
j modified, the LOT staff performs the same type of review process l
'
which is used for the incorporation of operating events into i

training. These changes are presented to the operators before the j
changes are made to the plant. Th's prepares the operators for the l
changes so that less time is needed to review the change in the
control room prior to its installation in the plant. Updates to the j
changes are routed to the operators when the use of additional
!
classroom training time is not practical.
l 3.0 Findir.gs_ and Observatioms
!
!
No violations, unresolved items, or open items were identified during r
this inspection. All of the areas which were reviewed by the inspector
!
appear to have been performed in accordance with their respective program i
requirements.
!
I During the conduct of interviews with the licensed operators, i
however, a generic concern over the leng',h of time spent in training was
expressed. The three (3) days per weekly cycic currently scheduled for
!
requalification training is apparently just enough time to cover the
minimum requirements. Operators stated that acditional scheduled time l
would enable them to focus their attentions in areas of interest that are not l
covered during the classroom, and would allow them to spend more time on
the simulator to sharpen their manipulative skills and abilities.
l 4.0 Exit Meeting I
The inspector met with the licensee's representatives (identified in paragraph 1.0) at the conclusion of the inspection on September 1, 1988 to summari).e the scope and findings as detailed in this report.
During this inspectirn, the inspector did not provide any written material to the licensee.
