- This refers to the inspection conducted by Hessrs. R. D. Vickrey of this

office, R. M. Pelton of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), and an

>

NRC. consultant during the period July 23-26, 1990, of activities authorized by

HRC Operating License NPF-47 for the River Bend Station, and to the discussion

- of our findings with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of

,

the inspection.

'

The area examined during the inspection was that of training and qualification

i

effectiveness. Within this area, the inspection consisted of selective

- examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with

i

personnel, and observations by the inspectors. The inspection findings are

documented in the enclosed inspection report.

1

&

Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were

identified. However, we noted that your inability to acquire and retain

seasoned instructors with substantial operations experience was apparently

affecting the quality of operator training, and that a shortage of trainers

.

prevented instructional materials from being updated in a timely manner.

Also, simulator deficiencies prevented significant portions of the system from

being used'in-training.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to

discuss them with you.

Sincerely.

Is

Samuel J. Collins, Director

Division of Reactor Projects
