l TRAINING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (UNIT 1) 1-00 l
l TITLE: LICENSED OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION UNIT 1 1.0 PURPOSE The goal of the operator requalification program is to enhance nuclear plant safety and reliability by maintaining a high level of skill and I
knowledge in licensed senior operators and licensed operators.
I To achieve this goal, the operator requalification program is designed to be sufficiently broad in scope to review areas of knowledge necessary for safe pl. ant operation and flexible enough to cover recent operating I
experience and operational changes so that proficiency can be enhanced and operational safety maintained.
The requalification program described in this document is implemented i
utilizing four interrelated segments.
These segments are:
l 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 enabling a continuing program to exist.
I The operator requalification program shall be established with fixed performance standards and specified remedial training requirements in the event of deficiencies occurring. The program training materials, i
performance results and records shall be maintained in a fully auditable manner.
I Guidelines pertaining to duration of training in the requalification i
program are estimates of the time needed for retraining of licensed personnel. The training sessions needed to cover special nuclear plant i
operating situations or significant nuclear industry operating I,
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 meet: or exceeds established performance standards.
- 2. 0 SCOPE / APPLICABILITY This procedure applies to all Licensed Operators and Licensed Senior Operators.
j a
- 3. 0 DEFINITIONS l
The definEions given below are of a restricted nature for the purpose of l
5 this program.
5 3.1 Drill - A supervised training exercise conducted in a work l
2 environment for the purpose of developing and maintaining skills i
0 required to cope with plant abnormal / emergency conditions and i
j 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 repeated 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. normally two or less).
i During basic principles trainer training sessions, the individual 5
concept should be utilized with one or two students on the trainer and additional students acting as observers. Large groups should be 2
