Dear Mr. Ozsen:
Subject:
REgUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION In a telephone conversation between Mr. Gene Fisher, Supervisor, WNP-2 Requalification Training Program, and Mr. Tom Meadows, Licensing Examiner, arrangements were made for an evaluation of the requalification program and licensed personnel at the Washington Nuclear Project, Unit 2.
The evaluation visit is scheduled for the time period.of February 26, 1990 to March 9, 1990.
For this visit, the NRC examiners will administer the operating and written examinations.
The NRC examiners will discuss with the appropriate facility personnel and operators the schedule and the process for these examinations.
For the examiners to adequately prepare for this visit, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved items listed in Enclosure I "Reference Material Requirements" by December 12, 1989.
Mr. Fisher has been advised of our reference material requirements and where they are to be sent.
The NRC reserves the right to postpone NRC administered requalification examinations if the facility generated materials are inadequate for examination preparation.
It is requested that an employee be provided to complete the examination team.
The employee shall be an active (per the requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) or (f)) SRO from the WNP-2 Operations Department.
If desired by the facility, and agreed to by the Chief Examiner, an additional employee from the Training Department may be a member of the examination team.
This employee shall preferably be an active (per the requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(e) or (f)) SRO, but may be a facility or INPO certified instructor.
These individuals must not be scheduled for an NRC administered examination during this visit, or participate as instructors once selected.
The facility representatives will be required to certify that they did not knowingly compromise any portion of the examination.
The facility representatives shall be restricted
( 1) from knowingly communicating by any means the content or scope of the examination to unauthorized persons and (2) from participating in any facility programs such as instruction, examination, or tutoring in which an identified requalification examinee(s) will be present.
These restrictions shall apply from 60 days prior to the examination date.
