Revision 2511/26/14 KPS USAR 12.2-1 12.2 ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES The information contained in this section has been superseded by the Dominion Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description DOM-QA-1 (QAPD). QAPD revisions are prepared as required by 10 CFR 50.54(a).
Revision 2511/26/14 KPS USAR 12.2-2 Intentionally Blank
Revision 2511/26/14 KPS USAR 12.3-1 12.3 TRAINING 12.3.1 Preoperational Training By the time the plant was ready for startup, key plant supervisory personnel had undergone thorough training. Training given each supervisor, along with previous education and experience, provided assurance that supervisors were qualified to fulfill their responsibilities for safe and efficient operation of the plant. Training was also provided to operating and maintenance personnel and technicians as required for the safe and efficient performance of their duties. All on-site personnel were trained in Emergency Plan procedures to assure their safety and the health and safety of the public. ANSI N18.1, 1971, was used as the basis for developing specific training programs.
12.3.2 Retraining Training programs meet the applicable requirements established in the Dominion Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description (Topical Report DOM-QA-1).
DEK permanently ceased power operations at KPS on May 7, 2013, and provided a certification of permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel on May 14, 2013, in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii). Consistent with the KPS permanently shutdown and defueled status, DEK established a Shift Manager/Certified Fuel Handler training requirement for the on-shift management representative supervising irradiated fuel management and decommissioning activities. At KPS, an individual qualified as a Certified Fuel Handler must also meet all training requirements of a shift manager, in addition to the Certified Fuel Handler specific training. As defined in 10 CFR 50.2, the Certified Fuel Handler is a non-licensed operator who has qualified in accordance with a fuel handler training program approved by the NRC.
The NRC staff review of the Kewaunee Shift Manager/Certified Fuel Handler training program determined the program addresses the safe conduct of decommissioning activities, safe handling and storage of spent fuel, appropriate response to plant emergencies, and is consistent with the SAT processes defined by 10 CFR 55.4 and the requirements of 10 CFR 50.120. The NRC staff approved the Kewaunee Shift Manager/Certified Fuel Handler training program pursuant to 10 CFR 50.2 (Reference 8).
12.3.3 Emergency Plan and Other Significant Training An Emergency Plan has been prepared and submitted to the NRC as a separate document.
On-site personnel receive Emergency Plan training. Emergency exercises are held in accordance with Appendix E, 10 CFR 50, to evaluate the response of emergency personnel to various simulated emergencies. Training is also given to off-site personnel to enable them to respond
Revision 2511/26/14 KPS USAR 12.3-2 quickly and efficiently to support the plant staff for any abnormal situation that might arise.
Training requirements are detailed in the KPS Emergency Plan.
Special fire-fighting training is given to the Fire Brigade, on a quarterly basis, in accordance with Section 27 of the NFPA Code 1975, and fire drills are conducted to check the readiness of these personnel. Appropriate operations personnel are part of the Fire Brigade and also participate in firefighting training.
Industrial safety training is given to all plant personnel and includes other topics applicable to the nuclear plant. First aid training is given to select plant personnel who are called in the event of an injury.
A computer-bases Plant Access Training program has been prepared to provide general information to all personnel. The program includes topics such as plant organization and administration, industrial safety, fire protection, quality assurance, plant security and fitness for duty, and radiological protection.
