April 26, 1984 Dr. Tnomas E. Murley, Administrator Region I U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406
Dear Dr. Murley:
Subject:
Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Docket No. 50-219 Radiological Support Technician Training Program The purpose of this letter is to submit a copy of the Radiological Support Technician Training Program summary for the NRC's information. This submittal fulfills Inspector Follow-Up Item 50-219/84-02-01 whereby GPU Nuclear was to provide a copy of this program to the Region I Administrator by May 1984.
The subject program establishes the minimum theoretical and practical ability requirements for Radiological Support Technicians. The training program consists of the initial training of selected Radiological Support Technicians and a cyclic training program for qualified personnel.
In addition to Oyster Creek, this program is also utilized at '1hree Mile Island units 1 and 2.
Therefore, a copy of this program summry should be filed with Docket No. 50-289 (TMI-1) and Docket No. 50-320 (TMI-2).
If you have any questions, please contact me or Mr. Michael B. Roche of my staff at (201)263-6630.
Very truly yours, R.W. Heward, Jr., Vice President Radiological & Environmental Controls RWH:RPJ: dam Attachment 8407100276 040705 PDRADOCK05000gg G
GPU Nuclear Corporation is a subsidiary of the General Pubhc Utihties Corporation
',.- s RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS SUPPORT TECENICIAN QUALIFICATION / TRAINING STANDARD The purpose of this program is to establish qualification standards for Radiological Support Technicians at Oyster Creek and Three Mile Island.
This program includes the minimum theoretical and practical ability require-ments, speci'fied in Appendix A, to assure assigned personnel understand their general and specific radiological support duties.
Contractor personnel are used to fulfill manpower needs during periods of fluctuating radiological workloads.
Contractor personnel are required to meet the same training requirements as Company personnel.
In some instances, Contractor personnel are hired to perform well defined functions and in these instances only specific training is given.
In these instances, the following will apply.
1.
Their services are performed as defined by the Radiological Support Manager or his designee, and 2.
They receive training upplicable to their duties as specified by the Radiological Support Manager, and 3.
They will demonstrate proficiency in those specific duties prior to independent performance of those duties.
The training program consists of training of selected Radiological Control support technicians in accordance with Appendix A.
A practical factors evaluation and a cyclic training program are also included.
Practical factors tasks are completed per the designated performance made and are signed off by a group supervisor when successfully and satisfactorily performed.
The cyclic training material is based on, but not limited to:
1.
Areas where weaknesses in performance have been noted.
2.
Areas where regulations and/or procedures have changed.
3.
Areas where increased depth in academic understanding will improve performance.
4.
Areas where requalification training requirements exist.
Written qualification and biennial requalification examinations will be administered for all levels.
Oral board examinations will also be administered to determine ability to respond to unusual situations.
A training record shall be maintained for each individual including:
1.
Written examinations /re-examinations.
2.
All completed practical factor worksheets.
3.
Summary statement of oral board results.
4.
Certificate of qualification.
5.
Records of qualification of contractor personnel temporarily employed including resumes of previous experience.

APPENDIX A Initial Training Course Radiological Support Technician PURPOSE The purpose of this initial training course is to provide the new Radiological Support Technician with the technical background information needed to perform routine Radiological Support duties while gaining the remaining portions of his/her training on the job. Upon successful completion of this program, the Technician will be capable of providing meaningful support and assistance to the Radiological Support Program at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station.
SCOPE The requirements of this program apply to all Radiological Support Technician trainees.
The program consists of planned lectures and practical exercises.
The program is broken into three areas of study:
1.
Basic Health Physics 2.
Dosimetry and Whole Body Counting 3.
Respiratory Protection The basic health physics lessons will be primarily classroom instruction, while the dosimetry and respiratory protection lessons will consist of a mixture of classroom and practical exercises. The information learned in the classroom and during the practical exercises will then be applied in completion of practical factors qualification.
