UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING APPEAL BOARD In the Matter of I

METROPOLITAN EDISON COMPANY, et al.

Docket No. 50-289 (Restart)

(Three Mile Island, Unit 1)

AFFIDAVIT OF BRUCE A. BOGER I, Bruce A. Boger, being duly sworn depose and state:

I am a Section Leader in the Operator Licensing Branch, Office of Nuclear ReEctor Regulation of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

I participated in the TMI-l Restart Hearings as a witness on subjects relat-ing to the testing of NRC licensed personnel.

I have reviewed the Aamodt comments regarding the GPU vs B&W Court Trial transcript.

In particular my affidavit relates to the connents titled "B&W - GPU Interface Concerning Plant l

Procedures" as they relate to my previous testimony.

The NRC encourages the use of vendor personnel in the training of licensed personnel.

This vendor training is not required by 10 CFR Part 55.

While the vendors are able to provide generic NSSS infomation to licensed personnel, they typically can not provide infomation on plant components that are supplied by other manufacturers or vendors. Therefore, the NRC l

PDR l

. does not feel that B&W should be the sole source of all operating information specific to the TMI-l plant for use on an NRC examination.

For instance, the NRC must rely upon up-to-date site specific infomation contained in operating procedures, emergency procedures, technical specifications, and balance of plant system descriptions to construct, administer, and grade licensing examina-I tions. This infomation can only be obtained from the licensees requesting the examinations.

l In addition, although B&W may continue to participate in the training of l

licensed personnel, only the licensee is responsible for operator training and for certifying to the NRC the courses of instruction administered and evidence that the applicant has learned to operate the controls in a competent and safe manner as required by 10 CFR Part 55.

Finally, the NRC l

is the independent agency that must license operations personnel as required by 10 CFR Part 55.

I I Declare under penalty of periury that the forgoing is true and correct.

Executed on March 12, 1983.
