SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION, LIMERICK GENERATING STATION
(Combined Inspection Report 50-352/90-01 (OL) and 50-353/90-01 (OL))
During the week of January 29, 1990, the NRn conducted a requalification
program evaluation at the Limerick Generating Station Units-1 and 2. . The
evaluation was conducted in accordance with NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing
Examiner Standards, Rev. 5, section ES-601, " Administration of NRC Requali-
-
fication Program Evaluations." The evalustion had two purposes: (1) to evalu-
4
ate individual licensed operator competency; and-(2) to evaluate the effec-
tiveness of the licensed operator training program. At the conclusion of.the
evaluation, findings related to the preparation and administration of the.
requalification examination were discussed with those members of-your staff-
identified in the enclosed report.
As a resul_t of this evaluation, the Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2
requalification program was determined to be unsatisfactory based on less,than
75% of the operators passing the examination.
The NRC results indicate that
4 of the 13 operators examined failed the NRC administered requalification
examination and one of the four crews that participated in the examination
performed unsatisfactorily on the simulator portion of the examination.
In
addition, one reactor operator, who had previously passed an NRCl administered
requalification examination and was-used to complete the crew staffing needs
during the simulator portion of the examination demonstrated unsatisfactory
performance in the simulator.
By letter dated February 7, 1990, your staff provided a basis for continued
operation of Limerick Generating Station.
The acceptance of the basis for
continued operation and actions to be'taken as a result of the unsatisfactory
requalification program determination were the subject of.our' Confirmatory
Action Letter (CAL) 1-90-003, " Unsatisfactory Licensed Operator Requalification
Program," dated February 9, 1990.
The NRC staff will address its follow-up
evaluations of'the operating crews-in Combined Inspection. Reports 50-352/90-10
and 50-353/90-09,
