Dear Mr. Miltenberger:
SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK REQUALIFICATION EXAMINATION
REPORT NO. 50-354/93-14 (OL)
On June 23 and 30,1993, the NRC administered requalification examinations at the Hope
Creek Nuclear Gene ating Station. The examinations were administered in accordance with
NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examiner Standards," Revision 7. Examinations of
licensed operators are importance to safety.
Two senior reactor operators and two operators on one crew were administered
requalification examinations. All operators and the crew passed the examination. On
June 30,1993, at the conclusion of the examination, the findings related to the examinations
were discussed with those members of your staffidentified in the enclosed report.
Because of the limited number of licensed operators examined a requalification' program
'
evaluation could not be performed. In accordance with the examiner standards, the NRC
staff will defer its requalification program evaluation until the NRC staff administers
,
requalification examinations to at least 8 additional licensed operators. However, in
inspection report 50-354/93-13, the NRC staff assessed portions of the Hope Creek.
requalification training program. Notwithstanding the limitations on examination san.ple size
for a program evaluation, the inspection and examination results indicate that the Hope Creek
requalification program would remain a satisfactory program.
.
The report identifies an unresolved item regarding the Hope Creek requalification training
schedule. The unresolved item (potentially generic) is addressed to Hope Creek, but we
understand that it also applies to Salem as well. The problem deals with proper
'7
implementation of 10 CFR 55 in terms of what constitutes a " continuous" licensed operator
requalification training program. The adequacy of your training schedule for licensed
operator requalification will be the subject of future NRC staff review.
