TQ-DC-FC-1 01 Revision 0 Page 6 of 18 3.2.4. 7.1 This evaluation will focus on the differences between the requirements of a Certified Fuel Handler and a NRC-Licensed Operator to identify any additional training required prior to becoming a Certified Fuel Handler.

3.2.4.7.2 Examples may include an examination on Technical Specifications, fuel handling, and administrative controls required to perform the Certified Fuel Handler function.

3.2.4.7.3 Any exemption for current NRC-Licensed Operators from specific training requirements will be in accordance with Section 3.1.7 of this procedure and approved per the Decommissioning Plant Manager (or designee).

3.2.4.8 The Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program allows for the evaluation of other facility personnel to determine if portions of the required training have already been completed and therefore may be exempted. The evaluation will concentrate on required areas to determine if the previous training and qualification/examination were equivalent to that required for a Certified Fuel Handler.

3.2.4.9 In general, the training of individuals who hold a Senior Reactor Operator license, and who are also qualified as Fuel Handling Supervisors, will meet the qualification requirements for a Certified Fuel Handler. However, it is expected that some additional training requirements may arise as the plant transitions to a permanently shutdown and defueled configuration. These additional training requirements may arise from changes to plant systems or procedures associated with Spent Fuel Pool operations. Therefore, the training requirements will be specifically identified and enumerated using the SAT process as described in Section 3.1 .6. The training history of each currently licensed Senior Reactor Operator who is identified as a candidate for a Certified Fuel Handler qualification will be separately evaluated to ensure that all the specific training requirements of the Certified Fuel Handler Training and Retraining Program are met.

3.2.4.1 0 Training to address any identified gaps between the individual's training history and the Certified Fuel Handler training program requirements will be completed prior to certification as a Certified Fuel Handler. TQ-DC-FC-101-1000, Section 4, FCS Certified Fuel Handler Certification Guide (Reference 5.18), approved by the Operations Manager, documents completion of training and certification as a Certified Fuel Handler."

3.2.4.11 Any missed training or examination must be made up within 90 days of the missed training activity. Remediation for identified performance deficiencies, or exam failures, will be conducted in accordance with TQ-DC-FC-201, SAFSTOR Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) (Reference 5.17).
