TITLE: LICENSED OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAtt DESCRIPTION UNIT 1 I l

1.0 PURPOSE l The goal of the operator requalification program is to enhance nuclear plant safety and reliability by maintaining a high level of skill and knowledge in licensed senior operators and licensed operators.

To achieve this goal, the operator requalification program is designed to be sufficiently broad in scope to review areas of knowledge necessary for safe plant operation and flexible enough to cover recent operating experience and operational changes so that proficiency can be enhanced and operational safety maintained.

The requalification program described in this document is implemented utilizing four interrelated segments. These segments are:

1) Pre-Planned Lecture Series

2) Skills Training and Evaluation

3) Operational Review Program

4) Annual Examination and Evaluation Each program segment is described separately. The operator requalification program shall be conducted on a cyclic basis so that all program requirements are completed in a period not to exceed two years.

Successive requalification programs shall be conducted on a schedule l enabling a continuing program to exist.

The operator requalification program shall be established with fixed performance standards and specified remedial training requirements in the i event of deficiencies occurring. The program training materials, performance results and records shall be maintained in a fully auditable manner.

Guidelines pertaining to duration of training in the requalification program are estimates of the time needed for retraining of licensed personnel. The training sessions needed to cover special nuclear plant operating situations or significant nuclear industry operating experiences may result in adjustments to these estimates. The duration of training shall also be adjusted as appropriate in order to assure that licensed personnel performance meets or exceeds established performance standards.

2. 0 SCOPE / APPLICABILITY This procedure applies to all Licensed Operators and Licensed Senior Operators.

a 3. 0 DEFINITIONS

$ The definitions given below are of a restricted nature for the purpose of s this program, s 3.1 Drill - A supervised training exercise conducted in a work 2 environment for the purpose of developing and maintaining skills 2 required to cope with plant abnormal / emergency conditions and g including an evaluation of performance.

To maintain these skills, licensed operators shall actually manipulate the controls, while licensed senior operators may either manipulate or actively supervise manipulation of the controls.

Training should be planned so that skills training exercises are repeatt.d until proficiency is demonstrated.

During simulator training sessions, the team concept should be utilized, emphasizing individual roles in reporting, assignment of operational duties, use of plant procedures and use of technical specifications. Assignment to simulator training sessions which are direct interactions with the nuclear plant control panel should be made on a crew basis with other licensed individuals integrated into the crews. (Other licensed individuals' use is to be minimized, 5 f.e. nonnally two or less).

5 During basic principles trainer training sessions, the individual 5 concept should be utilized with one or two students on the trainer 5 and additional students acting as observers.

Each licensed individual shall complete nuclear '

l plant simulator training sessions involving at least 1 twenty (20) hours of direct interaction with the simulator nuclear plant control panel on an annual basis. Brief post-evolution critiques conducted at the simulator nuclear plant control panels may be considered as part of the direct interaction session.

Lecture sessions conducted in conjunction with a I simulator training program covering topics (

designated in the Pre-planned Lecture Series may be i credited toward fulfilling the requirements of Section 7.2 Reactivity manipulations, plant evolutions, and exercises which should be considered in the simulator training program include:

1) Normal Plant Evolutions (Section 7.3.l(A)).

2) Abnormal / Emergency Plant Evolutions (Section 7.3.l(B)).

3) Verification of Plant Operating Procedure Adequacy

4) Demonstration of plant response to conditions identified from nuclear industry operating experiences. ,

Instructors presenting sim'ulator training sessions shall have demonstrated their competence to the NRC by successful completion of a Senior Operator Examination or certification.

7.3.3 Basic Principles Trainer A basic principles trainer provides a means of training licensed individuals on the principles of nuclear plant operation, focusing on major system operation under steady-state and transient conditions. The main difference between the simulator and the basic principles trainer is size and complexity of controls, in that trainees can conduct many of the same evolutions, such as reactor and plant startups and shutdowns, on both devices.
