PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC CCMPANY TROJAN NUCLEAR PLANT July 29, 1980-P4 vision 6 TRAINING PRCCE9URE TP-2-1
- OPERATOR LICENSING h
APPROVED BY g&p/
DATE I.
INTRODUCTION This training program is designed to provide the necessary education, training, and experience to prepare a candidate, normally an auxiliary operator, to successfully take a MRC reactor operator's license exami-nation. The program exercises the option of using a simulator training program in lieu of a reactor startup demonstration at the Trojan Plant.
The program consists of a ecmbination of classrcom instruction, on-the-job
. training, dedicated Control Room time, and simulator training.
An oper-ator seeking to take the license examination will normally begin this program by studying plant systems and completing systems checkouts. This self study may be supplemented by classroom lectures on plant systems.
As the operator becomes familiar with plant systems, he should begin to participate in Control Room activities for training. The majority of classroom instruction will be normally scheduled after the cperator has completed the required system checkouts and plant operations. Periodic quizzes and examinations will be given during the classroom phase of training in order to determine the student's progress. At the end of the classroom phase, the perforrance of each student will be reviewed to determine if the student will be recommended for a NRC licensing exam-ination. The evaluation will'be made by the Operations and Training Supervisors and will be based on the student's classroom performance, Control Room performance, and the results of his on-the-jcb training.
Those students who are recemmended will then participate in a simulator startup certification program followed by a prelicensing review series.
A final written and oral examination will be given to ensure each applicant is adequately prepared to take the NRC operator's licensing examination.
The time allowed to complete this program.aay vary due to the applicant's experience and the plant's operational ecmmitments. Twelve months is considered to be the normal length of tire to complete this program.
The maximum time period permitted is 18 months from the date the appli-cant assumed the position of Auxiliary Cperator. All applicants shculd TP-2-1 Page 1 of 6 Revision 6 8008060 5 0
particip-to in thiprogram lfor at least 6 months prior 'to taking tha license examination unless waived by the Training Supervisor.
