On page 1.0-1, " Introduction," PGE states that "The training of current l
holders of NRC Senior Reactor Operator and Reactor Operator licenses may fl be evaluated to determine if they satisfy the requirements of this j
I program." Why is the training of the SR0's being evaluated? SR0's should f
already be cualified to supervise fuel handling / movement evolutions. The R0 licenses must be evaluated to determine what, if any, additional l
training will be required before certification. Will the qualifications of the individual license holders be evaluated? Will any other PGE personnel be evaluated?
i i
i 3.
On page 1.0-2, reference is made to " Appropriate PGE management..." Who is this management? Can this management be delegated to other l
3 l
individuals?

If the fundamentals listed on page 2.1-1 are those " typically" in the j
l fundamentals training program and given that using a SAT-based training program will allow adjustments to the program as appropriate for the 3
currer.t status, will any cf th: tcpics listed be considered part of a core l
program that all certified fuel handlers will receive?
li 7.
On page 2.2-1, reference is made to a period of on-shift watches under l
inst ruct i nn.
What is the rninimum numhar of on-shift watches required for j
qualification?
i i
8.
On page 2.3-1, " appropriate PGE management" is defined as the " General Manager, Trojan Plant." Can this authority be delegated? If so, to whom?
l 9.
On page 3.1-1, PGE states that the actual content of the retraining program shall be determined by appropriate PGE management.
Is the content of the retraining program determined and presented over a 24-month basis 1
or is the content determined and presented on a continuing basis? What is i
)
the basis for the actual content of the retraining program?
t J
10.
Section 3.2.2. " Missed Training." states that any missed training will be l
made up.
How long does an individual have to make up the missed training?
- 11. Section 3.2.2, " Missed Training," states that if missed training is not completed, the individual is suspended until completion of retraining.

- of the effectiveness and accuracy of trainina. How often will an assessment of i
the program be made?
