Licensed Operator Requalification Training
Reference: a) Administrative Procedure 12.0, Station Training dated 10/25/78
Review Conducted
There were no changes made to the licensee's requalification program since
the last inspection of this area.
The implementation of the accepted
requalification training program was reviewed to assure the licensee has:
prepared a schedule for conducting lectures; prepared lesson plans or
equivalent for three lecture topics reviewed; included material in the
requalification lecture series on subjects identified as deficient by
evaluation of the annual examinations.
The inspector determined which
licensed operators:
failed all or portions of the annual examinations;
received unsatisfactory performance evaluations; did not perform licensed
duties for a period of four months or longer. The inspector verified the
completion of appropriate follow through action for all or a representative
sample of these individuals.
The inspector reviewed the training records
for six (6) NRC licensed personnel to verify that each included:
copies of
annual written examinations and the individual's responses; documentation
of attendance at all required lectures; documentation of required control
manipulations;
the results of performance evaluations; documentation of
required additional training to satisfy deficient perfor:mance; documentation
of completion of required procedure reviews and/or self study. Additionally,
the inspector interviewed three (3) licensed personnel to verify that the
training records reflect the actual training received.
Within the areas reviewed no items of noncompliance or deviation were
identified .

Licensee Response to IE Bulletin 79-06A
a.
Review Conducted
b.
The inspectors conducted a review of licensee actions to verify the
effectiveness of operator training conducted in response to IE Bulletin 79-06A. The inspectors reviewed:
(6) emergency procedures (1) related
to a small break LOCA; management controls implemented to incorporate
plant modifications into the operator training and requalif ication
programs; management controls implemented to incorporate the operational
knowledge gained from the Three Mile Island incident into the operator
training and requalification programs; management controls implemented
to increase the standard of operator knowledge required in the area of
plant transient responses; management controls implemented to assess
the effectiveness of the training conducted, including, but not limited
to, auditing of training presentations, examination content, and
examination grading. The inspectors interviewed (2) reactor operators
and (1) senior reactor operator to establish the operator's subjective
evaluations of the effectiveness of training received in conjunction
with incidents at the same or other facilities .
Within the areas inspected no items of noncompliance or deviation were
identified.
Review of TMI/Bulletin Training
The inspector reviewed with the licensee, operator training conducted
to date in response to IE Bulletin 79-06A. The licensee stated that:
(1)
Questions related to TMI/Bulletin 79-06 are being included in the
normal licensed operator requalification program lecture series
and examinations.
(2)
Management has reviewed TMI/Bulletin training with respect to
adequate training progress, depth, and scope.
A QA audit is in
progress on training presented in regards to Bulletin 79-06A.
(3)
Following examinations in the licensed operator requalification
program TMI/Bulletin related questions and answers will be evaluated.
Those licensed operators who answered questions unsatisfactorily
or were apparently weak in operator knowledge of the material
presented would be retrained in those week areas before standing
mode 1 (plant operating at power) and mode 2 (start-up) watches.
(4)
All Bulletin 79-06A training would be factored into the licensed
operator requalification program .
This item (280/79-34-01, 281/79-52-01) will be followed up by the inspector
during a future review of this area.
