Dear Mr. Opeka:
,
SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATION EXAMINATIONS AND REQUALIFICNTION
PROGRAM EVALUATION REPORT 50-245/93-25 (OL)
During the week of September 13, 1993, the NRC staff conducted licensed operator
requalification examinations and completed a program evaluation at the Millstone Unit 1
Nuclear Power Station. The requalification examinations and program evaluation were
,
conducted using Revision 7 of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examiner Standards."
i
The licensed operator requalification training (LORT) program is important to nuclear safety
because it helps to assure a high level of operator proficiency in dealing with normal and
emergency events.
,
On September 17, 1993, the preliminary findings related to the preparation and
administration of the examinations were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the enclosed report.
All fifteen licensed operators passed the requalification examination and all three crews
passed in the simulator. The results of the examinations were satisfactory and in accordance
l
with Examiner Standard 601 criteria. However, because the program was unsatisfactory in
'
1991 and 1992, the corrective actions for significant program weaknesses that were identified
previously must be completed and determined to be satisfactory by the NRC staff before a
determination of the program status can be made.
The written examination, dynamic simulator scenarios, and job performance measures that
were proposed for the examination required no significant revisions.
Attachment 4 of this letter documents the meeting we had on August 4,1993, in the Region
1 office. The meeting was of mutual benefit.

Mr. John F. Opeka
2
We received your two letters dated August 6,1993 requesting changes in crew composition.
.
One request was to substitute an operator to reflect current shift configuration. The other
request dealt with using the shift supervisor staff assistant (SSSA) as part of the normal crew
i
for examination purposes. Both requests were granted.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and
the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. R. Conte, Chief, BWR Section, at (215)

337-5210.
