Dear Mr. Opeka:

SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION OF TRA NING PROGRAMS AT MILLSTONE UNITS 1,2, AND 3, AND THE CONNECTICUT YANKEE ATOMIC POWER STATION An NRC inspection of the Millstone Units 1,2, and 3 and the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Station training programs was discussed in a telephone conversation on March 5,1993, between Mr. M. Brown (Actinng for Mr. J. Black, Director, Nuclear Training), and Mr. R. Conte, Chief, BWR Section. This inspection is in keeping with NRC policy, to do such inspections for identified training problems. The Millstone Unit 1 Licensed Operator Requali0 cation Training Program was rated unsatisfactory in consecutive years of 1991 and 1992. This warranted a review and the establishment of a b for continued safe operation.

The NRC plans to conduct this inspection during the period of April 13 through 23,1993, which includes a weekend. ille weekend activity will focus on in-plant observation /

discussion with personnel on duty. Training programs for the licensed operator lequalification program for the RO and SRO positions at each of the four units will be inspected.

In order for the NRC staff to prepare for the inspection, we request that you provide the materials listed in Enclosure 1 to the NRC Region I office by March 29,1993, to the attention of Mr. R. Conte.

The staff will select speciGc tasks for inspection from the submitted task lists. We will inform your staff of our selection before the inspection so that training material specific to the tasks will be readily available at the site.
