Pacific Gas and Electric Company -5-nonlicensed, Level 8 nuclear operators could be used as operations responders. A 2-hour training session was provided to nuclear operators on the duties of an operations responder, prior to August 29, 2003. The training session was outlined in Lesson Number R032C12, Operations Responder Responsibilities. Procedure CP M-6, Fire, Revision 2, included a checklist for the operations responder duties in Attachment 4.2, Operations Responder Checklist. However, the procedure and checklist were not issued until September 12, 2 weeks after licensed control operators and nuclear operators could serve as operations responders.

The inspectors interviewed various control operators and nuclear operators and identified the following deficiencies and issues concerning the operations responder position:

• One licensed control operator did not receive training on the operations responder position.

• A majority of the operators served on the fire brigade before the professional fire brigade took over, and they expressed a higher degree of confidence in performing the duties of the operations responder, as compared to those who did not have prior fire brigade experience.

• More than one of the operators did not know the phone number for accessing the fire conference bridge, and others had learned about the protocol for the fire conference bridge the day the interview was performed.

• The operators expressed a desire for more thorough training on the operations responder position.

• The operators were not aware that Attachment 4.2 of Procedure CP M-6, titled Operations Responder Checklist, existed.

• The operations responder position does not have a qualification card, nor is it part of requalification training for operators.

• As of August 29, 2003, all Level 8 nuclear operators assigned to a crew had received the operations responder training, but, on at least one occasion, an operator could not recall that he had received the training.

• The control operators and nuclear operators had not participated in drills with the fire brigades and identified a lack of interaction with the brigades.

In addition to interviews, the inspectors compared Attachment 4.2 of Procedure CP M-6 to Lesson R032C12, Operations Responder Responsibilities. The inspectors noted the following items were missing from the lesson plan when compared to Attachment 4.2. The lesson plan did not discuss:
