Technical Training Center 199t - 1992

Background

The NRC Technical Training Center (TTC) coordinates with the NRC headquarters offices and regions in the development and implementation of NRC staff technical qualification programs.

Technical training is provided for NRC personnel, t.eleded NRC contractors, end other Government organizations, as appropriate.

Training is provided to initially teach and continually maintain NRC inspectors, operator licensing examiners, reviewers, project managers, operations officers, technical managers, and other NRC personnel with the level of knowledge of reactor technology and j

other specialized technical training necessary to perform assigned

)

agency functions. Principics of the systems approach to training are routinely used throughout the life cycle of courses managed by i

the 1TC.

The reactor technology curriculum consists of a spectrum of courses involving both classrcxim and simulator training covering the General Electric, Westinghouse, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock and Wilcox reactor vendor designs. Reactor technology courses are typically presented by TTC staff members. The1TC manages the operation, maintenance, and upgrade of three full scope reactor training simulators and associated computer -

equipment in support of established training needs. There are presently three full scope reactor training simulators located at the TTC, modeling the General Electric, Westinghouse, and Babcock and Wilcox reactor vendor designs.

The specialized technical training curriculum consists of a number of courses in engineering support, health physics, safeguards, and inspection or examination techniques. The TTC provides specialized technical training through presentation of custom developed courses by the TTC staff, presentation of customized courses by TTC contractors, coordination of slots (training opportunities)in courses that are presented by other Government agencies, and identification and promotion of appropriate commercially available courses thet NRC personnel can attend as individual training opportunities using the NRC Form 368 process managed by the Office of Personnel. For many of the contracted courses, NRC perspectives are provided by specifically designated individuals from within the agency staff.

This Syllabus of Courses provides a description of each course, including course length, instructional hours, location, prerequisites for attendance, applicability. Specific training requirements for the 1

11

Technical Tralning Center 1991 - 1992 various technical positions can be found in documents such as NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 1245, Examiner Standards, and Office Directives.

TechnicolTralning Center 1991 - 1992 Training The Training Advisory Group (TAG)is a group of agency Advisory managers who provide field and program office input and Group management feedback on training programs and resolve issues involving curricula and training requirements associated with NRC staff qualification programs. The TAG provides a forum for obtaining consensus on training priorities for programs or potential programs in competition for the same resources. Whenever necessary, the TAG convenes separate sub committees or working groups to consider issues requiring special attention outside of regular TAG meetings. The TAG normally meets semiannually and consists of the following representatives.

This memorandum gives a chronological and topical listing of the courses offered by or through the TTC. Each of the courses mentioned in this memorandum is described in this Syllabus of Courses. Changes to the TTC course schedule are made as needed to reflect course data changes, course additions, or course cancella; ions. Such notification will be made in memorandum form and forwarded to Training Coordinators.

Registration Registration of students into courses conducted or coordinated by the TTC is accomplished through the Training Coordinator of the region or NRC office concerned. Training Coordinators have the responsibility of prioritizing the names of their personnel for available slots. Individual supervisors who want thcir personnel assigned to a given course must do so through their appropriate training coordinator. The TTC controls attendance to all courses listed in this syllabus unless indicated otherwise on the individual course description sheets. For courses identified as available through the NRC Form 368 process, the Form 368 should be submitted by the appropriate Training Coordinator to the Office of Personnel.

vill

TechnicalTraining Center 1991 - 1992 Slot allocations for courses that are a part of a full course series or cross training r.crics are made for the entire series. Supervisors should realize that once an employee is registered for a course series, a commitment has been made for that employee to attend all courses in the series. Once scheduled, students should not be withdrawn from a course series except for personal emergencies.

Supervisors should also recognize that once an employee is pulled from a course series,it will be difficult to get that employee unto another series.

Course Letters Approximately six weeks before a course begins, the names of students selected for attendance are announced in a standard courseletter mailed to Training Coordinators. Any slots not taken will be considered open and made available to others.

Class Size Each course conducted or contracted by the TTC has a maximum enrollment that has been chosen to give the student a quality learning experience while making optimum use of course instructors and facilities. Each course also has a minimum enrollment. If the course registration falls to reach or drops below that level, the course will normally be deferred or canceled. Once course letters have been mailed, a student's registration should not be canceled except in an emergency.

Course Manuals Course manuals for courses managed by the TTC are indicated on the individual syllabus page associated with each course and are issued to students on the first day of each course. Course manuals are not mailed to students prior to courses. Some students, however, wish to do some pre course study prior to arrival. To support this, the Technical Training Center has provided several copies of commonly used manuals to major NRC headquarters offices and regional offices. These manuals are typically located in the reference library or equivalent for each office and are typically controlled by Training Coordinators.

Attire Casual business attire is appropriate for class attendance. Any special requirements will be announced in individual course letters.

Student Work -

All students should be removed from compressed work schedules Schedules for the pay periods (s) during which the student will attend TTC courses. In the unlikely event that TTC courses must be scheduled over a holiday, students would be required to attend on the holiday.

t Course Hours The standard course hours for all classroom courses conducted at the TTC are 7:30 AM to 4:15 PM. Hours for other types of courses such as simulator courses depend on the availability of simulator time. Hours for contracted courses may vary based on course location and availability of special facilities. The actual course hours for all courses will be promulgated in the standard course letter to course participants.

Reaching Students attending TTC courses are generally unavailable to their Students office during classroom hours. Students will not be called out of During Classes the class for telephone messages unless the message is dealing with a personal or family emergency. Messages will be taken for all L

other incoming calls and are posted on a bulletin board. Students i

may return calls during breaks between classroom presentation and after class has ended for the day. Calls which are to be returned during break periods should be sufficiently short to allow students to return to the classroom before class resumes. This is necessary to ensure that each student receives the maximum benefit from the training and other students are not distracted by late arrivals.

Smoking Area There are no smoking areas within the Technical Training Center space within the Osborne Office Center. The large lobby on the first floor of the Osborne Office Center is, however, suitably equipped as a designated smoking area for students attending courses at the1TC.

Examination.

Examinations are given at the end of most TTC courses. Students Policy.

required by NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 1245 (or other formal requirement) to complete a course as part of their qualification program must pass the examination.- The passing grade for all TTC courses is 70% except for Site Access Training and Site Access

- Refresher Training which require a score of 80% Some employee qualification programs may require a higher passing grade for some courses.

Examinations for TTC courses are linked to learning objectives associated with course modules. These learning objectives are provided to students at the beginning o! courses and are normally included as part of the course manual. Examinations for reactor technology courses and some specialized technical training courses are normally randomly generated by a Computerized Examination Bank System which contains validated questions.

- ~ -.

-. ~.

Technical Training Center 1991 1992 After course examinations have been graded, course reporting letterswith actual course grades will be sent to the appropriate Region or Program Office via the Training Coordinator. Students will receive a copy of this letter along with the completed examination if the examination was not previously returned.

Course reporting letters for students who satisfactorily complete a course (or course series) will reflect that the minimum requirements have been met, and a training certificate will te provided. Course reporting letters for students who fall a course (or course acties) will identify areas in which additional attention is needed so that the appropriate upgrading program can be planned and implemented.

Since there is typically no pre course examination, the final course examination grade is not necessarily indicative of the level of effort expended by the student. Examination results indicate only the knowledge level of the student at the conclusion of a course, and the numerical grade should not be used as a performance indicator.

Examination results are normally considered final. If a question concerning the grading of an examination arises, the examination will be regraded provided the examination has been discussed with the student's management; the student's management requests the regrading of the examination in writing, to the appropriate TTC Branch Chief; and the original examination is returned to the TTC. Under no circumstances will a copy of the examination be regraded. The complete examination will be regraded by an instructor who was not associated with the original examination. Any regraded examination is considered as the final grade for the examination and will be returned to the student's management.

Equivalency Equivalency examinations may be given to certain experienced Ex.imination personnel for the purpose of validating certain stand alone courses Policy or courses of the Reactor Technology Course Series. Such equivalency examinations must be requested in writing by the student's immediate supervisor in a memorandum to the Director, TTC. These requests must include detailed remarks on the individual's prior experience and/or education to allow the Director, TTC to make a decision regarding an equivalency exam.

Experience has shown that individuals rarely validate both the 300 level Technology Course and the 500 level Advanced Technology Course. Even experience as a senior reactor operator on an xi l

. =.,

Technical Trcining Center 1991 - 1992 operating plant does not guarantee a background suitable for validating both of these courses. Additionally, students who validate courses typically miss out on many NRC perspectives that are presented during the course. The TIC recommends that even individuals with excellent backgrounds validate only the first course of a series.

Equivalency examinations,if approved by the Director,1TC, are given under certain conditions. Students validating a TTC reactor technology course may take the equivalency examination at the TTC Requests are also considered for the equivalency examination to be given in the regional office or program office on the regular examination day for the course that is being validated. Students authorized to validate both the 300 level Technology Course and the 500 level Advanced Technology Course may do so individually or simultaneously. If the validation is to be done individually, Oie equivalency examination for each of the courses will be taken at the TTC (or at the employee's office if approved) on the regular examination day for each course that is being validated. If simultaneous validation is to be attempted, then a comprehensive equivalency examination will be taken at the 1TC on the regular examination day for the 500 level Advanced Technology Course which is being validated.

Students validating required contractor courses may take an equivalency examination either at the TTC or in the employee's office at a time agreed upon by the student's immediate supervisor and the TTC.

Reexamination Written reexaminations may be given to students who receive Policy failing grades, subject to certain limitations. No reexaminations are given to students who received a course grade of less than 50E in this situation, the only way to get the student certified for that particular course is to have the indiddual repeat the course. No reexaminations are given, regardless of the grade,if the course which has been failed is not required training for the individual unless a request is received from the student's management. Only one reexamination will be given to a student for any given course.

Any student who fails a reexamination must repeat the course to satisfy the training requirement.

A reexamination for a student who is not excluded by the above limitations must be requested in writing by the student's management in a memorandum or letter to the Director,1TC.

xil

i l

TechnicalTrainir:3 :nter 1991 - 1992 C

Such requests must be received by the Trc within 30 working days from the date the examination letter identifying the failure was mailed to the student and immediate supervisor. A prepared reexaminatien will then be mailed with a cover tetter signed by the Director, TTC, to the student's immediate supervisor. This letter willindicate how the reexamination should be administered. The completed reexamination must be returned to the Director, TTC, immediately upon completion.
