TRAINING INSTRUCTION NO. 201 i

BRUNSWICK PLANT REACTOR OPERATOR REPLACEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM 1.0 Purpose The purpose of the Brunswick Operator Replacement Training Program is to ensure that operator replacement personnel are provided with suffi-cient formal and on-the-job training to meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI Standard N18.1-1971, " Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," and 10CFR55, " Operator's Licenses." It is intended that graduates of this program be prepared to pass the NRC hot license examinations and operate the Brunswick Plant in a safe and efficient manner.

2.0 Procedure No single training program can account for the wide differences in training and experience that may be encountered 'in candidates selectad for operator replacement training. Three general categories of replace-ment candidates are recognized. They are those having:

a.

Previous BWR power plant operating experience, b.

Previous PWR power plant (including Navy nuclear power) operating experience, and c.

Little or no previous nuclear experience.

The training program described in this instruction represents the minimum training for candidates having little or no previous nuclear experience.

The Training Supervisor may exempt candidates from portions of training by documenting previous experience or expertise.

He may adjust scope and content of various phases of training to fit individual needs through consultation with the Manager - Operations, using the applicable NRC regulatory guides.

Prior to participating in an NRC license examination, each candidate will hold a high school diploma and will have at least two years of power plant experience, at least one year of which is nuclear power plant experience.

The Operator Replacement Training Program is divided into four phases:

1.

On-The-Job (RTGB) Training 2.

Classroom Training i

3.

Reactor and Simulator Experience

2.0 Procedura lCont'd)

Training need not be accomplished in the above specified order. Following is a description of each phase of training:

2.1 Phase I: On-The-Job (RTGB) Training During this phase, candidates will participate in a three-month program of on-the-job training which involves:

a.

Manipulation of the nuclear plant controls under instruction during day-to-day operations.

b.

Experience in training startups and shutdowns of the reactor (if possible), and c.

Instruction and counseling from licensed operating personnel to facilitate the candidates' understanding of overall plant performance, system design and performance and operating j

procedure.

j l

During Phase I the candidate will complete the following:

l.

Reactor Turbine Gage Board (RTG3) on the Job Training Final Check List, and 2.

Reactor Tar

  • Board (RTGB) on the Job Training System and Practf

.-.or Check Lists.

i The Shift Foreman to whom the candidates are assigned will oversee their training activities and will report their training to the Training Supervisor. When it has been determined that a candidate has received sufficient training and experience as documented on the Reactor Turbine Gage Board (RTGB) on the Job Training Final Check List, he will be permitted to continue with further phases of the NRC reactor operator hot license training program for the Brunswick Plant.

I 2.2 Phase II: Classroom Training This phase will consist of 10 to 12 weeks of classroom training.

Candidates will be removed from shift rotation and placed in a full-time training status, and witl report administratively to the Training Supervisor or his designated assistant.

Instruction during this phase will include, but will not be limited to, the following topics:

i a.

Reactor Theory and Principles of Reactor Operation 1.
