SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION REPORT
On June
19
23,
1989,
the
NRC administered requalification examinations
to
employees
of your company
who operate
the
R.
E. Ginna Nuclear
Power Station.
The evaluation
was conducted
in accordance
with NUREG-1021, Operator
Licensing
Examiner Standards,
ES-601, "Administration of NRC Requalification
Program
Evaluations."
The evaluation
had two purposes,
evaluation of the effectiveness
of the licensed operator requalification training program at maintaining the
competency of the licensed operators,
and examination of the individual opera-
tors to determine if they would satisfy the regulatory requirement of passing
an
NRC administered
examination prior to license
renewal.
At the conclusion of
the examination/evaluation,
any generic findings that evolved
as
a result of
the examination
were discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in
the enclosed report.
As evaluated
by the
NRC, six of eleven operators
(one
SRO,
excused
from the
written portion of the examination,
completed
the examination during the week
of August 7,
1989) failed one or more
segments
of the examination.
As a result
of this evaluation,
your requalification
program
has
been
assigned
an overall
program rating of "unsatisfactory."
The successful
completion of the examina-
tion by the previously excused
SRO does not change
the program rating,
These
evaluations
were conducted
in accordance
with the criteria of NUREG 1021,
noted above.
The six operators
who failed the examination
were
immediately removed from shift operational
duties
and assigned
to an upgrade
training program designed
to address
each individual's specific needs.
Return
to licensed duties cannot occur unti l after sati sfactory reexamination
by the
NRC.
Following the completion of the examination,
a meeting
was held on June
30,
1989, at the
NRC Region
1 office in King of Prussia,
to discuss
the results of the examination
and various courses
of actions resulting from
the "unsatisfactory"
program evaluation.
Results of this meeting are detailed
in the enclosed
report.
By letter, dated July ll, 1989,
the licensee
provided to the
NRC a basis for
continued operation
as
a result of the unsatisfactory requalification program
evaluation.
This letter addressed
several
areas,
including the adequacy of the
crew which replaced'he
crew that failed the examination;
the adequacy of the
remaining crews
on shift; and,
the planned
implementation of the upgraded
