3.2.6 Fuel handling and core parameters.

3.2.7 Administrative Procedures, Conditions and Limitations.

3.3 Technical training for candidates for Shift Technical Advisor (STA)

Certification will consist of all areas listed in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and, additionally, STA responsibilities and authority.

3. 4 ON-SHIFT TRAINING/OJT 3.4.1 Candidates who are not already assigned to a regular operating shift shall be given an assignment which will provide for regular participation in day-to-day operations. Operations shall include manipulation of the reactor and reactor equipment controls.

3.4.2 Senior operator candidates shall have three (3) months of shift training as an extra person on shift.

3.4.3 Reactor operator candidates shall have three (3) months training on shift as an extra person in the Control Room.

3.4.4 Each candidate shall be furnished a training manual which shall contain tasks to be completed prior to the candidate being presented for the written and operating tests as outlined in 10CFR55. Information relative to the completion of the manual shall be included. The manuals shall be kept in a centralized location as designated by the Training Supervisor.

NTP-10 -2 February 1986

3.4.5 Whenever a candidate performs a plant evolution he/she shall log the date of the exercise and note whether he/she actually performed or simulated the manipulation. Bach entry shall be initialed by the Licensed Operator or Licensed senior Operator supervising the training.

3.4.6 The Training Supervisor or his designee shall review each individuals training manual quarterly.

3.5 Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator candidates shall have successfully completed the appropriate training manuals prior to being presented for the written and operating tests as outlined in 10CFR55. For those Senior Reactor Operator candidates who have not previously held a Reactor Operator License, they shall, in addition, complete task qualification on selected tasks, as identified by 3ob analysis, for which they may be responsible.

3 ~6 SIMULATOR TRAINING A simulator shall be used to supplement the technical and on-shift training specified in Section 3.0. Detailed records of this simulator training shall be placed in the individual's training file. When a simulator is used, the candidate shall actually perform all logged operations listed below:

  • 3.6.1 Plant or reactor start-ups to include a range that reactivity feedback from nuclear heat addition is noticeable and heatup rate is established.
  • 3.6.2 Plant shut-down.

3.6.3 Manual control of feedwater during start-up and/or shutdown.

  • 3.6.4 Any significant (>10%,) power changes in manual rod control or recirculation flow.
  • 3.6.5 Loss of coolant including:
1) Inside and outside primary containment.
2) Large and small, including leak-rate determination.

3.6.6 Loss of instrument air.

  • 3.6.7 Loss of electrical power (and/or degraded power sources).

3.6.8 Loss of core coolant flow.

3.6.9 Loss of condenser vacuum.

3.6.10 Loss of service water.

3.6.11 Loss of shutdown cooling..

3.6.12 Loss of RBCLC.

NTP-10 -3 February 1986

3.6.14 Loss of all feedwater.

3.6.15 Loss of protective channel.

".3.6.16 Mispositioned control rod or rods (or rod drops).

3.6.17 Inability to drive control rods.

3.6.18 Failure of Reactor to Scram.

3.6.19 Fuel cladding failure or high activity in reactor coolant or offgas.

  • 3.6.20 Turbine or generator trip.
  • 3.6.21 Malfunction of automatic control system(s) which afEect reactivity (unexplained react1vity changes).
  • 3.6.22 Malfunction of reactor pressure control system.
  • 3.6.24 Main steam line break (inside or outside containment).

3.6.25 Nuclear instrumentation failure(s).

<<Special emphasis to be placed on these items by SRO License Candidates and Shift Technical Advisors Certification Candidates.

4.0 EVALUATIONS 4.1 Periodic Audits cons1sting of written and/or oral exams shall be conducted. Continued trainee participation recommendat1ons will be based on these audits utilizing walk throughs and weekly quizzes and the NRC established 80/70 criteria.

4.2 The Training Supervisor or his appointed representative shall conduct oral examinations and evaluations of demonstrated or s1mula ted performance Eor each candidate prior to formal presentation to the licensing examiner. On the bas1s of these examinations and demonstrations, a written evaluation shall be placed 1n the indiv1dual's training file.

S.l.l checklist listing the formal training lectures presented, length of lecture, the instructor presenting the lecture and the date of attendance.

5.1.2 A log of tests administered which shall include the general sub)ect or system covered and the specific items, if applicable. Results shall be recorded as to whether the candidate has mastered the sub)ect or requires further study.

5.1.3 A log of reading assignments.

5.1.4 A checklist used to document the manipulations or evolutions which the candidate should be required to demonstrate or simulate is shown on pages 7 S 8. The results of this evaluation is used to determine whether or not the candidate has successfully mastered the operation or requires additional practice and/or study. This record may be obtained in part from the candidate's training manual and On-the-Job Training Manual.
