~ Procedures and Faci lit License As described to Nr. Holzmer during his inspection, the delinquent review assignments were being reissued to the personnel who either did not complete the assignment or whose documentation of review was missing.
This reissue process is continuing until all necessary documentation is returned to the Training Section.
To aid in the timely return of this documentation, all future review records will be issued individually to each person required to review the informaiion.
Previous review records contained documentation of up to twenty or more indi-viduals, thus, causing excessive routing and review times.
As of September 1, 1981, eleven of the thirty-four outstanding records identified by Yir. Holzmer have been returned to the Training Section.
The remainder of the outstanding records shall be completed by November 1, 1981.
As stated above, future review records will be issued to each individual whose review is required thereby eliminating excessive routing and rev.iew times and reducing the probability of losing such records during the review process Furthermore, any review records issued that are not returned to the Training Section within sixty (60) days of issue shall be reissued to the individuals involved with a copy to their immediate supervisor Failure to return the appropriate documentation to the Training Section within thirty days of reissue wi 11 be considered as an act of insubordination and therefore will subject the deliquent individual to disciplinary action.
We believe that the corrective actions taken will avoid further repetition of these non-compliances in the future.
Full compliance will be achieved no later than November 1, 1981.
Part 2 - Review of Abnormal and Emer enc Procedures The -five licensed operators who failed to return the review documentation at the time of the IE Inspection have since forwarded the necessary documentation to the Training Section.
Assignments for the review of Abnormal and Emergency Procedures shall be reissued by the
. Training Section if assignments are not returned within thirty days of original issue.
Copies of the reissue will also be sent to the individual s immediate supervisor to ensure completion. If the assign-ments are not returned to the Training Section within sixty days of original issue (thirty days after reissue) the individuals shall be removed from licensed duties until the assignments are completed.
We believe the corrective actions taken will avoid similar non-compliances
. in the future.
Full compliance has been achieved as of August 28, 1981.

Res onse to Etem 2 of A endix A Article 2 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 55 states:
"The requalification program shall include preplanned lectures on a regular and continuing basis throughout the license period in those areas where annual operator and senior operator written examinations indicate that emphasis in scope and depth of coverage is needed in the following subjects..."
(a list of nine areas follows in 10 CFR).
A brief summary of the process used by the Cook Plant Training Section for planning the upcoming year's lecture series follows.
A detailed breakdown of all the written examinations is performed on a
question by question basis.
Based on these data, a list of questions is compiled for which the individuals as a group scored less than eighty percent (805).
These questions are then organized by topic for incorporation into specific lesson categories.
These topics are then covered during the eight or nine requalification lecture periods.
Each lecture period consists of approximately sixteen hours of instruction and examination.
Handwritten sheets reflecting the above described process were reviewed by the Inspector during his site visit.
While we believe that the handwritten method employed by our Training Section has been doing the job, we agree with your inspector that a more formal method would be better.
Therefore, steps are being taken to enhance documentation of future analyses of examination results.
'We believe that the process described above fulfills the requirement of Appendix A to 10 CFR 55 with regard to preplanned requalification lectures and request that this violation be withdrawn.
