4.
Non-Licensed Operator Training The non-licensed operator (NLO) training program was established to the requirements in administrative procedure 70AC-TRN-001-0S and is outlined in the training procedure 72TR-TRN-001-0S.
The NL0 training program has been INP0 accredited.
The inspector observed the shif t turnovers of NL0s and other activities performed by NL0s including:
the preparation and tagging of the Unit 2 CRD system's hydraulic control units in accordance with procedure 304G-DPS-001-0S and P&ID H 26006 and 007; and the start up and operation of diesel generator (DG) 2R4% S001C. The activities were conducted in accordance with the approved procaires and NL0s appeared knowledgeable in the requirements of the procedures and Technical Specifications.
The tagging of the 137 hydraulic control units was a team effort and appeared well coordinated.
The preparation phase, e.g. assignments, coordination, review of the P& ids, marking of the tags followed by the tagging and verification, and the recording and reporting activities, indicated that the NL0s were well trained and qualified.
The inspector reviewed over 15 NLO training records.
The records were complete and current and in compliance training procedure 71TR-TRN-001-0S and ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974.
The licensee is automating (computerizing) their training records maintenance and retrieval system making the records more readily accessible for review and maintaining personnel qualifications.
5.
Non-Licensed Staff Training (41400)
The purpose of this inspection was to assess the effectiveness of the
'
licensee's non-licensed staff training.
As a representative sample, the inspector selected the training pro for non-licensed operators (NL0s), instrument and control (I&C) gramstechnicians, electricians, mechanics, engineers, and health physics technicians (HPs).
The effectiveness was determined by:
reviewing the activities performed by the above personnel at
-.

.
,
the job site; interviewing the personnel to determine if they were adequ-ately trained, qualified and certified to perform these activities; and determining what continued training they were receiving to n'aintain or upgrade their proficiency.
The results of the review and interviews indicated the non-licensed staff training to be effective and adequate.
The non-licensed staff personnel generally gave supervision and training high marks in being responsive and supportive 'of. the training programs.
.
This is also ' demonstrated by the fact that seven of the, ten training programs.have been INPO accredited.
The remaining three. programs, electrical, mechanical, and I&C technician training were under accreditation evaluation by INP0.. Supervision and management however, were viewed by the personnel as being reactive rather than anticipating the training needs of their personnel.
The inspectors verified that the electrical, mechanical and I&C technician training programs were in compliance with administrative procedure 70AC-TRN-001-0S.
The union representing each craft has two members on the training certification and review committee.
One representative of the
mechanics also served as a subject matter expert (SME) for developing the
nuclear mechanic training program.
The three maintenance training programs were undergoing INP0 evaluation for accreditation.
,
The inspectors observed the following activities to determine training effectiveness:
,
I A practice emergency response drill where electricians were observed
-
'
simulating a scram recovery with jumpers to operate the scram discharge volume vent in accordance with technical support Center (TSC) message no. 4, and reference drawing 11-27614 revision 11.
A health physics
'
technician accompanied the electricians.
.
-
Electricians performing maintenance on diesel generator 2R43-S001C as required by maintenance work orders (MW0s) 2-86-3226 and 2-86-5072
for the standby lube oil and prelube oil pump motors. The maintenance I
was performed in accordance with procedure 525SP-100386-IE-25, L
revision 1.
A mechanic performing inspection of diesel generator 2R43-S001C in l
-
I accordance with preventive maintenance procedure 52PM-R43-014-05.
--
I&C technicians performing semiannual calibration of the logarithmic radiation monitor in accordance with procedure 57CP-D11-001-1.
I
-
An I&C technician performing (RPT) initiation logic flow transmitters a time response test surveillance of I
the recirculating pump trip and motor generator (MG) set breakers in accordance with procedure 57.SV-C71-006-1.

The activities observed indicated that the training for mechanics, I&C technicians, and electricians was adequate and effective.
The maintenance personnel and several of their supervisors were interviewed.
The personnel appeared knowledgeable of the requirements in the procedures and considered much of their formal training to be job related and effectively presented.
Supervision was pleased with the improvements in the formal training and supported the INP0 concept of training.
The training records of twenty maintenance personnel were reviewed.
The records provided adequate qualification information for the pers'onnel performing the activities observed.
Future training records will also be automated (computerized) for the ready access and assurance that the qualifications of the maintenance personnel are current.
6.
Health Physics The inspector observed and interviewed two health physics technicians (HPs).
One, a contractor, was participating in the tagging of the CRD system's hydraulic control units.
He continually surveyed the area the NL0s were working in and advised them not to spend any more time than was necessary. The other HP was accompanying the electricians during the practice emergency response drill.
The HPs appeared well versed in the ALARA requirements and their responsibilities necessary to support the plant staff.
The inspector reviewed the training that HPs received prior to participation in fire drills.
They received general employee training (GET) plus additional classroom training, e.g.,
taking samples, etc, but did not
.
receive fire fighting training commensurate with their duties. The licensee committed to review the training of all ancillary personnel participating in fire drills.
The review and the implementation of the necessary corrective actions will be an inspector followup item (50-321, 366/86-31-01).
The training record of one HP technician involved in the practice amergency response drill was complete, current and in compliance with procedure 71TR-TRN-001-0S and ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974.
7.
General Employee Training The personnel interviewed considered their general employee training (GET)
to be adequate and job related.
The contractor HP, and the contractor I&C technician involved in the practice emergency response drill, thought the GET was better than that of other plants where they had been employed. The training records reviewed contained complete and current GET training information.
Quality Assurance (QA) audit report no. LP,-QAM-002-0186 issued on January 2, 1986, was reviewed and found to be comprehensive.
The responses to the audit were timely, and all corrective actions have been completed.

Licensed Operator and Senior Operator Training-(41701)
'
The licensed operator training program is outlined in the training procedure 72TR-TRN-002-0S, and has received INP0 accreditation.
To evaluate the
.
effectiveness of the program, the inspector attended training lectures, observed simulator training, and interviewed licensed' operators and senior operators.
The inspector also conducted interviews with training super-visors and instructors regarding the progress of program development towards a practical performance based training approach. The inspector reviewed six operator and six senior operator training records.
The records were complete and in compliance with training procedure 71TR-TRN-001-0S and ANSI N45.2.9 - 1974. The inspector reviewed the segmented examination given to date, and the results of the annual diagnostic examination. The inspector had one concern resulting from the review of the diagnostic examination given. The training department had not interfaced with the operations department to analyze the results of the diagnostic exam to determine if re-training or additional training was required.
At least two of the 14 categories on the annual diagnostic exam had indicated significant knowledge deficiencies. The inspector discussed this concern with the training department personnel, and the concern was re-emphasized at the exit meeting. Training procedure 72TR-TRN-002-0S, 7.4.1.7 outlines the requirement for analyzing the results of the annual diagnostic examination. -Tracking and implementation of this item will be followed through inspector followup item-(321/366, 86-31-02.)
With the exception of the inadequate criteria established for timely remedial action to correct knowledge deficiencies identified -during the
,
annual diagnostic examination, the licensed operator training program appeared significantly improved over the past two years.
The inspector encouraged continued practical application of classroom lecture material and maximizing the performance based training conducted on the Hatch simulator.
