NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 50-528/94-17;
50-529/94-17;
50-530/94-17
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Hr.
P. J. Horrill of this office
and other personnel
identified in the enclosed
report from Hay 16 to Hay 20,
1994.
The inspection
included
an assessment
of the qualifications of
individuals who are licensed to operate your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Stati'on,
Units 1, 2,
and 3, facility and the licensed operator requalification
training program.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
the findings were
discussed
with you and those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed
report.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of the
licensed operator requalification training program
by evaluation of the
comprehensive
written and operating
examinations
submitted fo} review and of
licensed individuals by the use of comprehensive
written and operating
examinations jointly administered
in accordance 'with NUREG-1021,
Operator
Licensing Examiner Standards,"
Revision 7.
The results of this inspection
are
documented
on page
2, in the enclosed report.
Based
on these results,
ten of thirteen licensees
evaluated
demonstrated
adequate
competency
and all examinees
have
been
informed of their individual
results
by letter.
Further,
based
on these results
and the corresponding
observations
during the joint administration,
the Palo Verde Nuclear
Generating
Station licensed operator requalification training program. is
evaluated
as satisfactory
in accordance
with NUREG-1021,
"Operator Licensing
Examiner Standards,"
Revision 7.
Previous requalification examinations
t
indicated
a declining trend in performance
and resulted
in the administration
of this examination
by the
NRC.
Although the current failures are indicative
of poor performance
on the part of the examinees,
they are not attributable to
any programmatic
problem,
as
was the case previously.
Improvements
in your
program
have
been
made,
however,
individual effort in the preparation for
requalification examinations
should
be stressed.
