Serial No. 13-278A Attachment 1 Page 1 of 6 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF SHIFT MANAGER / CERTIFIED FUEL HANDLER TRAINING PROGRAM By letter dated June 17, 2013 (Reference 1), Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (DEK),
requested approval of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Shift Manager I Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) Training Program. As stated in that letter, approval of the KPS CFH Training Program is needed to facilitate activities associated with decommissioning and irradiated fuel management as documented in DEK's Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report and Updated Irradiated Fuel Management Plan.
Subsequently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transmitted a request for additional information (RAI) regarding the CFH Training Program (Reference 2). The RAI questions and associated DEK response are provided below.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-001 When fully implemented, will the Kewaunee CFH training program meet the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 3, "Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" that are relevant to a defueled nuclear power plant?
Response
When fully implemented, the KPS CFH training program will meet the qualification requirements provided in KPS TS 5.3.1 (as approved by NRC in Amendment 207).
KPS is not committed to Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 3. Rather, TS 5.3.1 requires that each member of the facility staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI N18.1-1971, except for the radiation protection manager, who shall meet or exceed the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 1-R, September 1975.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-002 In Sections 5.1 of the submittal, the licensee refers to a document, "TR-KW-101, Conduct of Training", for a listing of responsibilities. Sections 4.1 "Definitions", 6.3.5.d.1 "written examinations", 6.7.1 "exemptions", and 6.8.1 "remediation" also make the same reference. Submit the current revision of the document," TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training".
Response
The current revision of Procedure, TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training," is provided as to this letter. This procedure describes the process for administering and
Serial No. 13-278A Attachment 1 Page 2 of 6 maintaining the training programs at KPS, including the Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Program.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsk¥-003 In Section 1.4.3, the licensee concludes that "This program satisfies all requirements for the Certified Fuel Handler Training Program (also referred to as the CFH)". This statement provides no practical information. The licensee should submit a table with all of the current CFH training requirements, the source document for each requirement, and a description of how the requirement is satisfied by the proposed program. Such a table will reflect how the requirements are satisfied so that, in the future, personnel will know whether a certain aspect of CFH training must be retained or may be deleted.
This table will also be more useful and less misleading if, in the future, requirements are added or changed by the NRC.
Response
Procedure TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training" (discussed in the previous question),
references use of 10 CFR 50.120, "Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," which requires a systems approach to training. The table below contains the current CFH training requirements, the source document for each requirement, and a description of how the requirement is satisfied by the proposed program. The term "TPG" refers to the Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Training Program Guide.

NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-004 Although the cover letter of the June 17, 2013 submittal states that its CFH training program aligns with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.120, the program description does not include some of the fundamental elements of a Systems Approach to Training required by 10 CFR 50.120 as defined in 10 CFR 55.4. These elements were listed in the cover letter but, except for trainee evaluation, were not included in the actual submittal. As stated in the licensee's cover letter: "The five key elements of the program are: (1) analysis of job performance requirements and training needs, (2) derivation of learning objectives based on the preceding analysis, (3) design and implementation of the training program based upon learning objectives, (4) trainee
Serial No. 13-278A Attachment 1 Page 4 of 6 evaluation, and (5) program evaluation and revision." Clarify this discrepancy by describing how the CFH program implements all five elements of SAT.
Response
The KPS Certified Fuel Handler Program was developed using the systems approach to training discussed in 10 CFR 50.120, "Training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel."
The program was developed by Training and Operations personnel using an approved task list and creating a task training work matrix. The task training work matrix was used to determine the initial and continuing training required for each task based on the Difficulty, Importance, Frequency (DIF) process (analysis), which determines if initial and continuing training are required. Learning objectives were determined from the task list based on the required knowledge and skills for each task (derivation of learning objectives). The training materials (lesson plans/exams) and the Shift Manager /
Certified Fuel Handler Qualification Manual were then developed from the learning objectives (design of the training program). The Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Training Program Guide was issued, which established the program (implementation of the training program). KPS Procedure TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training," ensures that the systems approach to training is used for trainee evaluation and for maintaining and evaluating the Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Program, including an annual review of the program which is documented and reported to senior management (program evaluation and revision).
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-005 Section 5.3.2 requires that the CFH training program be maintained. Who manages the CFH training program? Will that person be a CFH or have equivalent qualifications?
Response
The Manager Nuclear Operations is responsible for maintaining and implementing the CFH training program. The Manager Nuclear Operations assigns a Department Training Coordinator, who is typically a Certified Fuel Handler, to assist in the implementation of the program.
The proposed TS 5.3.2 is identical to the requirement approved by NRC in the currently existing TS 5.4.1 for Millstone 1.
Serial No. 13-278A Attachment 1 Page 5 of 6 NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHIPB-Lapinsky-006 In Section 6.2.1, the licensee requires that Shift Managers complete the Plant Operator (PO) Training Program. Describe the PO training program or submit the procedure(s) that control it. Does this program have any relationship to 10 CFR 55, Operator Licenses? Does the PO training use a Systems Approach to Training?
Response
The Plant Operator Training Program is designed to train the Plant Operator on the knowledge and technical skills necessary to safely and efficiently monitor and control the operations of the KPS spent fuel pool and its support systems during normal and abnormal situations. The program was developed and is being maintained per the elements of the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) process. The program does not have any relationship to 10 CFR 55, as it is not intended to provide individuals with an NRC operator license.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-007 In its May 29, 2013 letter, Dominion Energy Kewaunee (DEK) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) (ADAMS Accession No. ML13156A037) proposing revisions to its Technical Specifications (TSs). Proposed TS 5.2.2.d states that shift managers will be CFH-trained. However, the note on page 5 of 23 of the CFH training program submitted to the NRC on June 13, 2013 allows personnel to be trained for the Shift Manager position only. Clarify which submittal is correct.
Response
Both submittals are correct.
Proposed TS 5.2.2.d states that the Shift Manager shall be a CFH. To comply with this requirement, the Shift Manager who is used to satisfy the on-shift compliment for the Shift Manager position must also be qualified as a CFH.
Although the note on page 5 of 23 of the CFH training program submitted to the NRC on June 13, 2013 allows personnel to be trained for the Shift Manager position only, such an individual could not be used to fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement. Only a Shift Manager qualified as a CFH could fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement. Shift Managers who are not qualified as CFHs are used at KPS for other administrative functions that are not required by TS. In effect, there are two classes of Shift Managers. Only those who are qualified as a CFH would be used to fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement.
