Attachment Description of Pre-ILT Training Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen),
through self-assessment of the Initial Licensed Operator Training (ILT) program, have decided to enhance the Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) education and eligibility requirements for SRO candidates. For SRO candidates that come from sites other than the one at which the candidate will be licensed, Exelon/AmerGen have decided that familiarization training should be given at the beginning of the six-month on-site experience period. The desired effect is to increase the effectiveness of subsequent on-site responsible nuclear power plant experience (RNPPE) activities. This will help increase the performance of the non-site familiar SRO candidates so that when the ILT starts they will be on an even par with the site-familiar candidates.
Exelon and AmerGen have determined that time on-site credited towards meeting the six-month RNPPE requirement may include participation in plant familiarization training of a limited nature.
The plant familiarization training, intended to improve the candidates' understanding and knowledge of the station, may include activities such as a two to three week basic systems course, completing a plant familiarization guide, and participating in job performance measures.
