I 2. L_icensee's Action on Previous Inspection Findings l

(Closed) Inspector Followup Item (50-334/81-29-32) and Unresolved Item I (50-334/82-05-02): Review the establishment and activities of Nuclear Division Personnel Training Committee. This committee was established in early 1982 to evaluate and recommend training requirements for all non-l licensed positions involved with safety-related work. An administrative procedure was developed by which corporate and site groups were to deline-ate specific skill requirements and subsequently identify particular train-ing needs for applicable non-licensed positions. The Nuclear Division Personnel Training Committee was to coordinate the submission and review of position analyses to the Training Department. The majority of position

, analyses have been submitted, however upon review, it was determined that t

almost all groups interpreted the procedure differently, thus resulting in an inconsistency of training requirements. Because of a recent Duquesne Light Company reorganization and a revision to the above mentioned proce-dure, further determination and re-analysis of training requirements for non-licensed positions and subsequent implementation have been temporarily delaye The inspector reviewed the recently revised procedure, its related documen-tation, the present status and future schedule for implementation of non-licensed training requirements with the Training Director (who is a member of the Nuclear Division Training Committee). Contingent upon final deter-mination of all position levels within the organization, training checklists are scheduled for completion by the end of 1985.

For administrative purposes, these items are closed and vill now be fol-lowed under item 50-334/85-09-01.

Regulatory Guide 8.13 " Instructions Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure" 3.2 Program Review The inspector reviewed the Beaver Valley Power Station Training Manual, Issue III to verify that a program was in place that addressed the indoctrination, training and retraining of personnel in the areas of radiological health and safety, emergency plan, security and access control, industrial safety, quality assurance and prenatal radiation exposure. Also reviewed were those training programs that specifi-cally addressed training appropriate to various non-licensed technical disciplines, such as electrical and mechanica The inspector also reviewed the draft of the newly revised training manual, which is currently under final management review. The revised training manual consists of two volumes with volume I covering admin-istrative policies, and volume II detailing various training programs, The new manual was developed utilizing the " systematic approach to training" (SAT) concept and is much more explicit than the training manual currently in place. The majority of the training program, now detailed in the revised manual, had always been in place but were not governed by any policy or procedure under the Issue III of the train-ing manua .3 Implementation Review The inspector reviewed the implementation of the non-licensed l training program to ensure that the training presented is meaningful; topics are covered accurately and sufficiently; and mechanisms are in place to identify those areas where training l

is needed or need to be improve Implementation of the non-licensed training program included a review of the following:

Nuclear Training Committee activities The inspector also attended a portion of a pump and motor shaft align-ment training class which was held at the new training center. Subse-quent discussions with one class participant indicated that the class was meaningful and that the instructor was knowledgeable and well prepare Interviews were also held with six employees (2 electri-cians, 2 meter and control repairmen (I&C), and 2 mechanics,.one of-which was a female) to ascertain the effectiveness and meaningfulness of the training program. All individuals indicated that significant improvements-to the training program had been made within the past

~ two years, and the majority felt that the amount and quality of. in-struction had improved, largely due to the permanent staffing of th three maintenance instructor (mechanical, electrical, I&C) positions- .

The inspector reviewed the proposed draft training manual and future plans with the' Technical and Crafts Training Coordinator and the Nuclear Division Training Director. Present plans call for initial-INPO accreditation in the instrument and controls, chemistry, and

- 3.4 l Findings No violations were identified. Significant improvements were noted in the area of qualifications for mechanics, electricians and meter and control repairmen. NRC Inspection 50-334/83-28 identified some concerns in the adequacy and method of completion of qualification checklist The licensee has subsequently replaced these generic qualification checklists with detailed site specific on-the-job training (0JT)

checklists. Identification of activities and subsequent development of these DJT checklists are ongoing. The effectiveness of the non-licensed training program and further development of DJT checklists will be reviewed-in future NRC inspections (50-334/85-09-02). Unresolved Items Unresolved items are. matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, violations or deviations. An unresolved item was closed during the inspection as discussed in paragraph ~. Exit Meeting The inspector met with the licensee representatives (denoted in para-graph 1) on March 29, 1985 to summarize the scope and findings of the inspectio At no time during the inspection was written material provided to the

licensee by the inspecto
