Senior Vice President - Nuclear

Dear Mr. Keiser:
SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATIONPROGRAM EVALUATION,REPORT NOS. 50-
387/92-01 AND 50-388/92-01 (OL)
During the week of January 6, 1992, the NRC conducted
a requalification program
evaluation at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station.
The evaluation was conduct'ed in
accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examiner Standards,"
Rev. 6.
The
evaluation had two purposes:
(1) to evaluate individual licensed operator competency;
and
(2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensed operator training program.
At the conclusion
of the evaluation, findings related to the preparation
and administration of the requalification
examinations were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed
report.
As a result of this evaluation, the Susquehanna
requalification program is considered
to be
satisfactory.
However, a programmatic weakness
in the evaluation techniques
used by the
facility during dynamic simulator evaluations was identified.
One crew and three individual
operators performed unsatisfactorily on the dynamic simulator portion of the examinations.
Generic weaknesses
were observed in the operators'bility to operate the Feedwater system
and with lack of sensitivity to reactor pressure
vessel (RPV) level control and prevention of
RPV cooldown with the reactor not shut down.
We understand
that you are performing a root cause analysis to determine the cause of the
identified weaknesses
and planning to address
the weaknesses.
We request that you inform
us in writing of the results of your root cause analysis and of the planned corrective actions
to address
the identified weaknesses.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations,
a copy of this letter and
the enclosed report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
