Subject:
REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION Report No. 50-293/89-14(OL)
During the weeks of December 4 and December 11, 1989, the NRC conducted a
'
requalification program evaluation at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. The
evaluation was conducted in ac:ordance with Revision 5 to NUREG-1021, " Operator
Licensing Examiner Standards," specifically, ES-601, " Administration of NRC
s
l
Requalification Program Evaluations." The evaluation had two purposes: (1)to
evaluate individual operator competency; and, (2) to evaluate the effectiveness
of the licensed operator requalification training program at Pilgrim. Generic
findings and preliminary results of the evaluation were discussed during the
interim and at the conclusion of the two week examination period with members
-of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
As a result of this evaluation, the Pilgrim requalification program has been-
rated as satisfactory.
The NRC results indicate two of nine Reactor Operators and
one of eleven Senior Reactor Operators failed at least one portion of the
exami'iation. Additionally, one of four crews was determined to be unsatisfac-
tory. Section 3.0 of the attached report contains the details of the program
evaluation.
As was discussed at the exit meeting held at the Chiltonv111e Training Center
on December 15, 1989, you are expected to complete remedial training for all
operators and the crew that failed the NRC requalification examinat;on.
Following the remedial training, the operators and crew may be returned to
,
L
shift duties and will be re-examined by the NRC within approximately six
months.
Further, we were concerned about the lack of involvement of a Senior Reactor
Operator from the operations staff in the requalification examination develop-
ment process.
From discussions held with your staff, we were assured this
situation will not recur during future program evaluations.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission regulations, a copy of this
letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Documument Room.,
