Deviation No.
changed from 83-57-01 Attachment to AECM-84/Od$D 83-53-04.
DEVIATION 83-53-04 The reason for the deviation is as follows:
a.
NRC examination dates for the four candidates had been shortened by six weeks due to the plant's urgent need for additional SR0s to cupport 5-shift rotation. Plant management felt that the candidates' experience and background at Grand Gulf would offset the reduction in formal training time..,It was intended that all aspects of the qualification program would be covered, but on an accelerated schedule. This led to group checkouts and group signoffs on the qualification cards rather than individual checkouts.
Corrective actions taken/will be taken:
a.
The two candidates who passed the NRC exam that were involved in the accelerated training will be required to complete an additional qualifica-tion card prior to assuming licensed duties. The two candidates who did not pass the NRC exam will be required to complete an additional quali-fication card prior to being reexamined by the NRC. The qualification cards will be completed in accordance with the guidelines in
'b' and 'c'
- below, b.
Qualification cards for the candidates noted in 'a' above and future license candidates will be signed off by licensed operators for the in-plant portions of the qualification card dealing with in-plant knowl-edge. Simulator checkouts will be used for those portions of the quali-fication card where simulator-type checkouts / manipulations would be more beneficial than in-plant walkthroughs.
c.
The Licensed Operator Training Program implementation procedure (14-S-02-6) had been revised to provide clear guidelines for completing
- the qualification cards.
Data when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance is expected by May 7, 1984.

- 1. Violation No, changed from 83-57-06 to
~ ~
- Attachment to AECM-84/0050 VIOLATION 83-53-06 I. ADMISSION OR DENIAL OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION Mississippi Power & Light (MP&L) Com;any admits to the violation as stated.
II. REASON FOR THE VIOLATION The reason for the deficiency is inadequate review and attention to the detailed requirements of the FSAR during the revision process of the administrative procedure. This was apparently a word processing error that was overlooked during the review / change process since the previous revision did contain the requirement. Additionally, MP&L has recognized that the operations department training section is understaffed with permanent MP&L employees who would normally be responsible for reviewing procedure changes.
III. CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED a.
MP&L has reassigned an experienced Senior Reactor Operator from the Operations Department to the Training Department as the Operations Training Supervisor. Filling this position will provide increased supervision in the operations training area.
b.
MP&L management has stressed the importance of attention to the detailed requirements of regulatory commitments to the Training Department including the consultant operations instructors.
c.
Quality Assurance has completed audits of operator training with emphasis on ensuring that FSAR requirements are being met.
Results of these audits and associated Corrective Action Requests are documented.
d.
MP&L conducted a review of the FSAR requirements which were not addressed in administrative procedure 01-S-04-1 and found that those i
not addressed by 01-S-04-1 are addressed in Training Section Proce-dure 14-S-02-6.
IV. CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATION a.
Assignment of sn Operations Training Supervisor noted in III. A above will provide increased supervision in operations training including close surveillance of adherence to regulatory requirements.
b.
Plant Administrative Procedure (01-S-04-1) for Licensed Operator Training will be revised to assure complianc with regulatorv re-quirements. Safety Evaluations, in accordance with Plant Administra-tive Procedure 01-S-06-24, will be conducted as required during the procedure revision process.

1 V.: DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED
.The.recently assigned Operations Training Supervisor is expected to assume the position by the end of February 1984 (contingent upon completion of

Attachment to AECM-84/0050 DEVIATION 83-53-08 The reason for the deviation is as follows:
The Operator Training Evaluation Committee (OTEC) had not previously a.
reviewed candidate's training records in the detail now recognized as necessary. They had assumed that the Training Department had completed the-records review and would have identified weak areas in the candidate's training records prior to the candidate's OTEC evaluation.
Corrective actions taken/will be taken:
- a..
OTEC now recognizes the need for detailed review of operator candidate's training records. Recent OTEC evaluations have, and future evaluations will, include detailed review of irdividual training records in accordance with the FSAR and the Plant Administrative Procedure 01-S-04-1.
b.
Training records of all licensed operators are being reviewed in detail by OTEC during the current recertification program underway at GGNS. All areas where questions arise during the review will be dispositioned with the concurrence of the OTEC.
Date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance is expected to be achieved by February 15, 1984 (contingent upon completion of the Operator Recertification Program currently in progress).
