REgUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION, REPORT
NO. 50-220/90-19
(OL)
During the weeks of July 9 and July 16,
1990,
the
NRC conducted
a requalifi-
cation program evaluation at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 1.
The
evaluation
was conducted
in accordance
with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing
Examiner Standards,"
Revision 5, section
"Administration of NRC Requali-
fication Program Evaluations."
The evaluation
had two purposes:
( 1) to evalu-
ate individual licensed operator
competency,
and (2) to evaluate
the effective-
ness of the licensed operator training program.
One area of the evaluation,
the requirement for administering five common Job Performance
Measures
(JPMs)
was waived.
Niagara
Mohawk requested
a waiver, citing as their basis
the fact
that Revision
6 to the Examiner Standards
has deleted all requirements
for
common JPMs.
In all other areas,
though,
the program evaluation
was conducted
in accordance
with Revision
5.
At the conclusion of the evaluation,
findings
related to the preparation
and administration of the requalification examina-
tions were discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
As a result of the evaluation,
Unit 1's program
has
been rated
as satisfactory.
NRC results indicate that all three
crews which participated
in the examina-
tions performed satisfactorily
on the simulator portion of the examination.
In
addition, all nine senior reactor operators
and all six reactor operators
examined
passed all portions of the examination.
The program weaknesses
(section 2.5 of the enclosed
report) are provided to you for self-assessment
and appropriate
corrective action.
No response
is required.
The enclosed
report also documents
three Unresolved
(UNR) items.
Briefly, item
one concerns
the rotation of the reactor operators
(ROs) between
the three
positions during simulator evaluations.
Item two concerns classifying any
fai lure of control
rods to insert situation
as
an Alert or higher class of
emergency.
The third item concerns
the installation of jumpers to bypass
main
steam isolation valve closures.
Details are given in section
3 of this report.
You are requested
to respond to this letter with proposed resolutions for the
three Unresolved
items within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
