~Pro ram The training program for the PVNGS has been outlined and par tially implemented.
The program includes 14 categor ies of training for licensed operatovs and other plant staff members.
The licensed opevator training is broken down into six phases:
(1)
Nucleav technology fundamentals.
(2)
Operating (Powex'atev Reactov)
assignments (as appvopriate).
(3)
Powev block systems (including Balance of Plant systems).
(4)
Simulation training (PVNGS has a simulatov onsite).
(5)
On the job training.
(6)
A final veview and evaluation in pxepaxation for the NRC operator license examination.
Development of the licensed operatov tvaining progvam has had pxiority attention and is approaching finalization.
Academic couvses (being taught by instxuctors from Memphis State Univevsity) have eithev been completed by the Unit 1 Staff or are currently in progress.
Simulator train-ing will commence in October of this year with a staff of 16.
Othev staff tx'aining courses (radiation wovkers, craft/
technician, shift technical advisor, genexal employee train-ing, etc.) are being developed as are the administvative pvoceduxes which will govern the management and implementation of the program.
Accovding to the licensee, the scheduling of tvaining couvses, as well as the special TMX action items velated to tvaining as identified in NUREG-0737, will be accomplished so that requived commitments will be met be-fore fuel loading.
No items of noncompliance or deviations weve identified.
0 evations Staffin Units 1 and 2 operating staffs have essentially been formed and staff members are currently involved in training.
Plans ave to opevate with six shifts 'of opevating pevsonnel.
This arvange-ment will not only,piovide"covevage,on the rotating shifts and days off but will permit evevy eight weeks, the dedication of one shift to tvaining and>anothev to plant, operating suppovt activities.
