. 2.0 EVALUATION This change involves a clarification to the current requirements concerning licensed operator qualifications and training programs.
The TS requirements for all other affected unit staff qualifications and training programs remain unchanged. The licensed operator qualifications and training programs will continue to be required to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55.
The staff has concluded in NUREG-1262 that the standards and guidelines applied by INP0 in their training accreditation program are equivalent to those put forth or endorsed by the NRC. Therefore, maintaining an INPO accredited, systems based licensed operator training program is equivalent to maintaining an NRC approved licensed operator training program which conforms with applicable NRC Regulatory Guides or NRC endorsed ANSI /ANS standards.
Public Service Electric and Gas Company's licensed operator training program has been accredited by INP0 and is based on a systems approach to training.
Therefore, the staff finds the changes to be acceptable.
