FILES (THREE MILE ISLMD)
THREE MILE ISLAND TRAINING PROGRAM A meeting was held with representatives of Three Mile Island on August 30, 1972, to discuss their training program.
In attendance were Messrs. J. Wise, R. Arnold, R. Van Niel, P. F. Collins and R. J. Bursey.
Mr. Wise indicated that the Three Mile Island fuel loading date now appears to be April 1973. Their plans are to license 15 SRO's for cold license and 17 R0's for hot license after the plant starts operation. The plant will be started up with the SRO's, two per shift, for five shift operation.
Mr. Wise requested OLB consider giving RO examinations for hot along with the cold SR0 applicants.
Mr. Collins pointed out that it was highly desirable to give the RO written examinations after the plant is in operation at the time OLB comes on-plant for the oral examinations.
Mr. Collins will con-sider their request and advise Mr. Wise.
The following points were covered during the meeting:
1.
We expressed our concern over the extended period since the Three Mile Island people were certified at Saxton in 1969.
Simulator training was discussed and related to practical operating experience in an operating plant. Three Mile Island plans a one-week simulator training refresher pro-gram.
It was suggested that this be extended to at least two weeks and individuals evaluated to see if they were absorbing the simulator training.
We also suggested that the simulator training be preceeded by familiarization courses conducted on site.
2.
We discussed cold and hot eligibility requirements. We pointed out our experience with hot applicants who have had insuffi-cient training and as a result poor results on the examinations.
It was emphasized that hot applicants must have at least two startups and additional hands-on operation during the period after the plant starts and attains 20-30% power.

We discussed requirements for both supervisor and licensing of plant personnel who have had no previous plant operating experience.
Mr. Wise will send resumes of two individuals to both Mr. Collins for evaluation for licensing eligibility and to Mr. Van Niel for evaluation per ANSI 18.1.
4Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI 18.1.</br></br>4" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. We discussed several specifics in operator licensing such as how much operating personnel must know about nuclear instru-mentation.
Mr. Wise stated that personnel will not do instrument calibration or check-out.
This will be done by instrument technicians.
If the instrument technicians are required on an off-shift, they will be called in.
It was pointed out that the operator did not have to know the check-out procedure in this case but that the senior operator did have to fully understand the check-out procedure for the nuclear instrumentation.
5.
Mr. Wise wanted to know if the requalification program had to be outlined prior to licensing of the plant.
He was told that the only requirement at this time was that he must have a requalification program.
6 Mr. Wise was given a copy of a listing of the operating pro-cedures required prior to examinations.
It was also mentioned along with the specific procedures required that Operator Licensing Branch must have other material such as the radiation protection manual, administrative procedures, curve book and the manual on setpoints and limitations. All of this material should be forwarded to OLB at least eight weeks prior to the date of the written examination.
