k ATTACHillT A P00R ORllMI.
This attachmcat is in response to your 3etter dated May ll,1979, and contains the informatica requested by the enclosed IE Eulletin No. 79-10 entitled, "Requalification Training Program Statistics".
Item 1, " Provide both the total number and percentage cf operators who have failed the annual requalification exa~.ination."
D; ring the previcus fcur jctre (1975 thrsuch 1973) Only two licensed operators have ever failed the annual requalification examination.
Both failures occurred in 1976 when a total of thirteen operators took the examination (a 15.11 percent failure rate for that year).
None of the senior licensed Jersonnel have ever failed to pass the annual requalification examination.
Item 2, " Provide the perecntage of ib se operators who take the annual requalification examinations and are required to attend lectures on categories of material for which they received a grade of less than 80 percent. Also provide the total number of supplemental lectures attended."
Although the approved requalification prograj~ allcws excusing individuals who received an annual examination grade of 80 percent or higher in a particular area.' rom the regularly scheduled lecture on that subject area, it has always been plant policy to require all licensed operatt.s to attend all regular 3y scheduled lectures or, if unable to attend, to take the examination covering the lecture and obtain at least 80 percent on the lecture examination.
Of the individuals holding senior operator licenses, only the Plant Superintendent and the Plant Engineer have ever been excused from lectures and examinations based on annual examination performance.

Item 3, " Provide both the total number and percentage of operators under the requalification program that participated in accelerated training because they either scored Jess than 70 percent overall on the r.anual written examf naticn or had an unsatisfactory perforrance on the oral e>:anination."

examination. The oppr,;ved requalification plan does not require an accelerated training program for an individual whose performance was unsatisfactory on the annunl oral excmination. Any areas of weabless noted on the annual oral examination are reported to the individual's irrrediate supervisor, individual instrta tion is given in these areas, and the individual is then reexarnined on the pr viously identified weaknesses.
During the f ast four years on]y two operators were placed in accelerated training programs. As previously noted, this occurred in 3976. Non e of the senior licensed personnel have ever been placed in accelerated training programs. Hone of the licensed operators or senior licensed personnel have ever been placed in accelerated training due to unsatis-factory performance during the annual oral examinations.
Item h, " Provide the same information required by 1 thi t 3 on Senior Operators."
This information has been included in the response to items 1, 2 and 3 Item 5, " Provide the above information fran four annual examinations (written and oral)."
This information is included in the response to items 1, 2 and 3 Item 6, " Record information in format shown in Table 1."
