D881297 The Honorable Lando W. Zech, Jr.
Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Chairman Zech:
SUBJECT:
UPDATED POLICY STATEMENT ON TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PERSONNEL -- ACRS COMMENTS During the 336th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safe-guards, April 7-9, 1988, we considered a Subcommittee report and dis-cussed a draft of the updated Commission Policy Statement on Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel. Our Subcommittee on Human Factors met with representatives of the NRC Staff on March 28, 1988 to discuss this matter. We also had the benefit of the referenced documents.
We endorse the Staff proposal to issue the proposed policy statement for public comment. We are of the opinion that the training and accredita-tion program of the industry and the Institute of Nuclear Power Opera-tions has been highly successful in establishing effective training programs for the personnel responsible for the operation of nuclear power plants. We encourage continuation of the INPO-managed accredita-tion program and believe it is unnecessary for the NRC to consider rulemaking related to this issue.
Dr. Forrest J. Remick did not participate in the Committee's delibera-tions regarding this matter.
Sincerely, W. Kerr Chairman
