e Genera 8 offices: 212 West Michigan Avenue. Jackson, Michtgen 49201 * (5171 788-0550 June 29, 1981 Mr James G Keppler Office of Inspection and Enfercement Region III US Nuclear Regulator / Cc-4 ssion 799 Rcisevelt Road Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 DOCFET 50-155 - LICZHSE DPR BIG RCCK POINT PLANT - RESPONSE TO II INSFECTION REPORT NO 81-05 IE Inspection Report No 50-155/81-05 dated May 27, 1961, identified one apparent item of noncompliance round at the 31g Rock Point Plant.
Our re-sponse to this violation ( Appendix A, dated June 1,1981) is as follows:
Violation:
Facility Technical Specification 6.h.1 states:
"A retraining and replacement training program for the plant staff shall be maintained under the direction of the Plant Superintendent and shall meet or exceed the requirements and reconmendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI N18.1-1971 and Appendix "A" of 10 CFR, 7 art 55."
10 CFR 55, Appendix A, Section h.e states that a requalification program shall have " Provisions for each licensed operator and senior operator to participate in an accelerated requalification program where perfor=ance evaluation conducted pursuant to paragraphs ha through hd clearly indicate the need "
Contrar/ to the above, the licensee's existing requalification program is deficient in identifying accelerated training for licensed personnel failing to achieve a passing score on an individual section of the annual requalifi-cation exam.

2 Mr James G Keppler Big Rock Point Plant June 29, 1981 Fespense to Violation Changes in the licesnsed operator requalification program as outlined in Censu=ers Power Company's letter of August 6, 1980 were not implemented.
Specifically, two individuals who had not attained a mini =um grade of 705 in so=e specific instruction sections and had not been enrolled in an accel-erated training program on those sections within five days of grade determin-ation as required by the submitted program. A review of the cause of this incident has not identified the reason for the lack of infor=ation transmittal to the Training Department-On-site. Information pertaining to co=mitment ir,plementation is provided later in this submittal.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved The two individuals not completing the licensed operator requalification training as required by the co=mitment in our letter dated August 6,1980 were provided with special training sessions immediately upon identification of this violation by the inspector. Subsequent examination of those individuals resulted in acceptable test scores in those affected sections of the requalifi-cation training program.
Corrective Action to Prevent Recurrence The Big Rock Point Plant Manual Volume 18 - Master Training Plan has been revised to include requirements for special training and retesting as outlined in our letter dated August 6, 1980.
Date When Full Compliance Will be Achieved Full compliance has been achieved for the specific incident that resulted in this violation. Special training for the two licensed personnel was completed on May 11, 1981 and a Master Training Plan revision was issued for implementa-tion on May 26, 1981.
Generic Information Pertaining to Implementation of Co=mitments Consumers Power Company currently uses several methods to implement and veriOf implementation of co=mitments. These methods include the following:
