Dear Sir:

We have reviewed the Revised Licensed Operator Qualification and Requalification Training Program submi.tted by you in response to the March 28, 1980 letter fran H. R. Denton.

Based on our review, we find that program to be unacceptable for 'IMI-1 licensed operations personnel.

Incorporation of tha itms listed in the enclosure to this letter will be hecessary for acceptability.

~

Mr. Joseph McMillen has been assigned to review your program. He nay be reached on 3Ur.4%-7476.

Sincerely,

2.2(c)

The re at the plaa shall be modi.fied to state that all control nanipulations shall be performed at the plant or on the similator. The March 28th letter provides for the use of

-a similator for control manipulations as a substitute for actual plant operations but does not allow the leeway suggested by the wording in your procedure as now written.

4 This section nust be nodified to clarify the requirement for control nanipulations.

In addition, the last paragraph of this sect %n states that,

" licensed personnel, whose job assigrants a'e not directly related to udit operations will actively par;icpate in control

(

roan operation a mininum of one shift per quarter. We do not believe this is adequate

  • o mintain the skills and knowledge required to operate the plant in a safe mnner.

' This secton should be rodified to' better define " job assignnents not directly related to unit operations" and then require a specific numb'r of shift assigments per conth or per quarter depen?ng on the closeness to the day to day operations of the plant.
