2.
Requalification Training
k
J
'
The inspector verified that for the 1976-77 school year a requali-
fication program which met the requirements of the "Requalification
3'
Program for Licensed Operators, Senior Operators, and Senior
Operators (Limited)",- approved by the NRC on May 11, 1977, was
carried out.
I
Due to scheduling problems experienced in prior years, the requali-
j
fication program for the school year to start in September 1977 has
.
been modified. Under the proposed program all subjects are covered
,
within a 4 day week and are repeated each week to ensure all person-
-
nel are covered prior to the expiration date of their license.
Each semester the material covered under a specific subject is
varied. The problem with this new method is the possibility.that
the lectures may not cover each subject to the depth required by
i
individuals for whom the Icctures are mandatory (those who receive
l
a grade 4 80 on a particular subject on their last annual examination),
and that the quiz given at the end of the week may only have
ne or
(
two questions on each subject covered. While the proposed program
1
appears to be satisfactory for most licensed individuals it does not
satisfy the requirements for those individuals for whom attendance to
specific lectures and taking of quizzes is mandatory. This item was
discussed at the exit interview.
The inspector reviewed the records of several licensed individuals
and found them to meet the requirements of the Requalification Pro-
j
gram approved by the NRC on May 11, 1977, and the applicable

Administrative and Training procedures with the exception that
the records failed to indicate that Employee "A" attended a
,
'
mandatory lecture on Engineered Safety Features prior to taking
'
the quiz on February 10, 1977 and that Employee "B"
attended a
mandatory lecture on Instrumentation and Controls prior to taking
_
the quiz in December 28, 1976. This is considered to be a deficiency
from the requirements of Technical Specifications 6.5.B.11.
This
l
item was discussed at the exit interview.
The inspector noted that several licensed individuals are quite
behind in their reading of the " Weekly Required Reading" material.
Some of the individuals, all holders of SRO licenses, are over 26
weeks behind with the worse being approximately 46 weeks behind in
their reading. (The amount of reading material accumulated during
that period is ~2 ft high). All are due for license renewal later
this year. The inspector discussed this at the exit interview point-
ing out that this problem had been discussed with site management on
June 2, 1976, with no apparent success.
The inspector noted that the Dresden Personnel Procedure (DPP-5)
which covers the requalification program fails to address the pro-
gram for licensed off-site personnel. This item was discussed at the
exit interview.
3.
Training Program - Nonlicensed Personnel
.
The inspector verified that a formal training and retraining pro-
-
gram exists for new employees, temporary employees, nonlicensed
operations personnel, technicians and craft personnel. The program
as defined by the Dresden Personnel Procedures (DPP series, revised
May 1977) cover administrative controls and procedures, radiological
health and safety, industrial safety, security procedures, emergency
plan, quality assurance, fire fighting, and on the job training.
Responsibilities to assure that the training program requirements are
met and for the conduct of periodic evaluations of the program are
described in Administrative Procedures DAP 8-1 and 8-2.
The inspector verified by direct questioning and record review that
the required training was provided to two electrical helpers, two
relatively new rad-chem technicians, one instrument mechanic ("B" man)
two temporary employees, three new employees (less than one year),
and two existing employees (over two years).

During Llw in t ers 16:* the following suggestions were made by the
employees. The suggestions were discussed with site managemant at
the exit interview.
,
Management personnel who are sent for training to vendor's
a.
.
,
school should upon their return train the personnel who
actually maintain the equipment.
b.
Whenever possible, "B" instrument mechanics who have no
specific assignment at the time be -sent with the "A" -IM's
who are doing surveillance testing, calibrations, etc., for
on-the-job training.
c.
Refresher course in the use of Scott-Air Packs should include
the actual use of the equipment in addition to the video tape.
(The inspector noted during the exit interview that this should
~
be mandatory of at least all personnel assigned to fire fighting.)
d.
Equipment, valves, lines, etc., should be marked for easy
identification by new personnel. Such marking would be very
i
beneficial in cases of trouble or emergency.
1
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

off-site personnel in procedure DPP-5 (Paragraph 2).
