SUBJECT:
INSPECTION OF LICENSED OPERATOR REQUALILFICATION PROGRAM
EVALUATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORTS NOS. 50-237/95006;
50-249/95006)
Dear Mr. Joyce:
The enclosed report refers to the inspection conducted by E. Plettner and
R. Miller from February 21 to 24, 1995.
The inspection evaluated Operation's
activities at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station authorized by NRC Operating
License No.'s DPR-19 and DPR-25.
The purpose of the inspection was to assess the licensed reactor operator,
senior reactor operator, and senior reactor operator limited requalification
programs.
The inspection consisted of reviews of training administrative
procedures, representative records, requalification training materials, and
observation of licensed operators during requalification examination
administration.
Interviews were also conducted with members of the operations
and training staffs. Followup inspection was performed regarding your
response to Notice of Violation (50-237/93024-0l(DRP)) for failure to ensure
licensed operator medicals were obtained every two years.
The inspectors noted that licensed reactor operators and senior reactor
operators were not using plant procedures when it was appropriate to do so
during the requalification dynamic scenario examinations.
In addition there
were five occurrences where operators failed job performance measures because
the individuals failed to execute critical steps in the procedures used to
perform the task. Procedural adherence problems were the subject of an
enforcement conference on March 9, 1995.
Your corrective actions to station
procedural adherence problems were presented at the March 9 conference.
The
adequacy of those corrective actions will be reviewed during future inspection
activities. Therefore no response to the above concerns is required.
Overall, the inspectors concluded that the licensed reactor operator, senior
reactor operator, and senior reactor operator limited requalification programs
were being implemented in accordance with 10 CFR Part 55 requirements.
Both
operations and training management involvement with the process was considered
a strength.
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.
