Dear Mr. Collins:
Attached please find a copy of the revised Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant licensed requalification training program for your review and approval.
This program was revised to incorporate the requirements contained in Mr. Harold R. Denton's letter of March 28, 1980 and to reflect current practice.
The only major change in this program is in the control manipulation section which now requires annual simulator training as well as the increased manipulation requirements.
All changes are identified by marginal markings.
If you have any questions regarding this document, please contact the undersigned (Extension 1311) or Mr. D.
D. Nelson (Extension 1330) at the Cook Plant.
If you approve the program please provide me with a letter so stating, such that an FSAR amendment may be made.
Sincerely, D. V. Shaller Plant Manager

COOK NUCLEAR PLANT LICENSED OPERATOR RE(UALIFICATION PROGRAM Licensed 0 erator Re uglification Pro ram A licensed operator requalification program designed to maintain a continuing high degree of knowledge and proficiency as required by 10CFR50 and
- 10CFR55, Appendix A shall be established for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1
and 2.
It shall apply to all NRC licensed operators and senior licensed operators, including operator and senior operators who perform such duties on an infrequent basis.
A si te appointed Training Coordinator has been assigned to administer this program.
The Training Coordinator is responsible for implementing the Licensed Operator Requalification Program.
Licensed training personnel are exempt from those provisions of the requalification program for which they have primary responsi-bility for administering.
For example, an individual who prepares, administers, and grades a written examination need not take the examination.
This exemption provision applies to a maximum of two individuals for a particular lecture, examination, or course.
The licensed operator requalification program shall be conducted on a two year cycle.
The two year requalification cycle is divided into requalification 7/80
year one and requalification year two.
Subsequent cycles will be designated year three and four, etc., Each requalification year runs from Memorial Day to Memorial Day.
The requalification program shal'. consist of:
1.
Formal classroom lectures 2.
On-the-job training (including simulator training) 3.
An annual evaluation 4.
Training documentation 1,
Formal Classroom Lectures Formal classroom lectures shall be conducted each requalification year on a
school-year schedule running from Labor day to Memorial Day.
Lectures shall be conducted in the following areas with emphasis on identified weak or problem areas:
a.
b.
c ~
Theory and Principles of Operation (includes Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow)
General and Specific Plant Operating Characteristics Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems d.
Plant Protection Systems e.
g.

Technical Specifications i.
Applicable portions of Title 10, Chapter 1,
Code of Federal Regulations The use of training aids such as videotapes or films may be used in lieu of an ins ructor.
- However, no more than 50~ of the lecture series shall be solely videotape or film.
The annual lecture series will be of an estimated length of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> but, in no case, less than 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
Lectures shall be evenly spaced throughout the period, taking infrequent operations such as refueling operations into
- account, Licensed operators may be exempted from attendance in a particular subject area if they have attained a grade of ) 805 in the related areas of the previous year's annual written examination.
Written quizzes will be administered after each lecture topic for the evaluation of individual knowledge level and progress.
A minimum grade of 80Ã is acceptable.
A grade of less than 80 will require additional training in the identified areas of weakness.
2.
On-The-Job Trainino On-the-job training shall consist of:
a.
Performance of control manipulations (simulator training) b.

. of all facility and procedure changes 7/80
A.
Control Mani ul ations Each licensed operator shall, during each two-year requalification training cycle, perform a minimum of plant control manipulations which demonstrate his skill and/or familiarity with plant control systems.
Each licensed senior operator shall either manipulate the controls or direct or evaluate the activities of others during these control manipulations.
Credit for a manipulation shall be limited to the one operator performing the task and one senior operator engaged in directing the operation.
Normal control manipulations, such as plant or reactor startups, must be performed.
Control manipulations during abnormal or emergency conditions
~ma be walked through with and evaluated by a member of the training staff;
- however, preference is to perform these manipulations at an appropriate simulator.
The following control manipulations shall be performed during each two-year requalification cycle.
The starred items shall be performed annually.
