Your staff stated that being a TVA auxiliary unit operator (AV0) along with having completed site specific training on all Sequoyah procedures pertaining to system alignment was considered the minimum acceptable qualification level _ for individuals performing independent verification for the system alignment program. In addition, the inspectors pointed out that since Sequoyah was using personnel other than those certified at Sequoyah, some documentation of the certification was necessary. Your staff accomplished this prior to the exit on October 30, 1987.
