REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION
REPORT NOS. 50-272/88-07(0L) and 50-311/88-07(0L)
During the week of June 13, 1988, the NRC conducted a requalification program
evaluation at the
Salem
Nuclear Generating Station.

in
accordance with draft

Licensing Examiner Standards, ES-601,
11Admi n i strati on of NRC Requa l i fi cation
Program Evaluations.

The evaluation had two purposes:
(1) evaluation of the
effectiveness of the licensed operator requalification training program at
Salem to determine if the program mai.ntained the competency of the operators,
.and (2) examination of individual operators to determine if they would satisfy
the regulat6ry requirement of passing an NRC administered examination prior to
At the conclusion of the evaluation, generic findings that
evolved were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
As a result of this evaluation, your requalification program has been assigned
an overall rating of satisfactory.
One of the reactor operators failed the
simulator portion of the operating examination and all operators passed the
written examination.
These evaluations were made
in accordance with the
criteria established in the above mentioned draft.of NUREG-1021, ES-601.
In a letter from you to the NRC, dated July 1, 1988, the results of the grading
by the Salem staff were presented.
Per your staff's grading, the same reactor
operator (as failed by the NRC) failed the simulator portion of the operating
examination. Also, one senior reactor operator failed the written examination
due to a slightly more conservative grading by the facility.

Your attention is directed to paragraphs 2.3 and 2.2 with respect to two
requalification program deficiencies.

Procedures is not consistent with the guidance contained in the Westinghouse
Owner's Group background documents; (2) the requalification training program
does not include training on the ability to operate the in-plant portion of the
auxiliary and emergency systems other than the remote shutdown panel, which is
not consistent with 10 CFR 55.59(a)(2)(ii).
You are requested to respond to
these concerns within thirty days of the date of *this letter.
