[External_Sender] Oyster Creek Certified Fuel Handler Program Attachments: CERTIFIED FUEL HANDLER page correction.pdf

John, This email is a follow-up to our recent phone conversation to inform you of the following.

A typographical error was found in the Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) Program Supplement that was submitted in Letter RA-16-058, dated June 8, 2016, Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding Approval of Certified Fuel Handler Program.

In Subsection 3.2.4.7, in the first sentence, the word condition was inadvertently omitted. The correct reading of the sentence is:

Training of current or previous NRC-licensed Operators at the facility entering a permanently shutdown and permanently defueled condition may be evaluated to determine if they satisfy all of the requirements of this training program, or if they only need to complete portions of this program to qualify as a Certified Fuel Handler.

Please note that the reading of this subsection in the response to RAI-2 is correct. This error has been corrected and a corrected page is attached to this email.

Page 5 of 11 process defined in TQ-AA-224, "Exelon Nuclear Training - Implementation Phase." The requirement for a medical examination shall not be exempted.

3.2.4.7 Training of current or previous NRC-licensed Operators at the facility entering a permanently shutdown and permanently defueled condition may be evaluated to determine if they satisfy all of the requirements of this training program, or if they only need to complete portions of this program to qualify as a Certified Fuel Handler. This evaluation will focus on the differences between the requirements of a Certified Fuel Handler and an NRC-licensed Operator to identify any additional training required to become a Certified Fuel Handler. Examples may include an examination on TS, fuel handling, and administrative controls required to perform the Certified Fuel Handler function.

1. 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.

3.2.4.8 In general, the training of holders of Senior Reactor Operator licenses 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 SFP operations. Therefore, the training requirements will be specifically identified and enumerated using the SAT process prior to permanent defueling. 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.

3.2.4.9 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 Certified Fuel Handler.

3.2.4.10 The Plant Manager (or designee) shall approve the basis for evaluations qualifying an individual as a Certified Fuel Handler.

3.2.4.11 Any missed training or examination shall be made up not later than prior to taking the next annual examination. If required training or evaluation is not completed within the specified makeup period, the Certified Fuel Handler shall be suspended from Certified Fuel Handler duties, pending successful completion of the missed training or evaluation.
