Recertification Process
In an inspection conducted at Crystal River January 14-18, 1985, discrep-
ancies were noted in the training records of nine individuals who took and
passed NRC operating license examinations in December 1984 (Inspection
Report 50-302/85-01 Unresolved Item 85-01-05). On January 29, 1985, the NRC
issued a Confirmation of Action Letter (50-302/85-02) in response to these
deficiencies which confirmed that the licensee would complete the following
actions before the NRC would issue licenses to those individuals:
a.
Recertify to the NRC that the operator and senior operator applicants
examined by the NRC in December 1984, are qualified pursuant to 10 CFR 55.10(a)(6). This recertification will be based upon verification of
the completion of all applicable hot license training and experience
requirements; review and evaluation of hot license training and
experience requirements; review and evaluation of all written and oral
audit examinations; and resolution of all
identified training
deficiencies.
b.
Conduct a quality assurance review of Crystal River operator training
procedures and activities and meet with NRC in Region II to discuss the
results of this review.
In a letter dated April 4,
1985, Florida Power Corporation provided the
following response to this Confirmation of Action Letter:
Pursuant to your Confirmation of Action Letter dated January 29, 1985,
to Florida Power Corporation (FPC), this letter recertifies that the
operator and senior operator applicants who were examined by the NRC in
December 1984, and who successfully completed the examination are
qualified pursuant to 10 CFR 55.10(a)(6).
The FPC Nuclear Operations Training Department has:
(1) Verified the completion of all applicable hot license
training and experience requirements;
(2) Reviewed and evaluated all written and oral examinations
given during the hot license training program; and
(3) Resolved all training deficiencies identified during the
accomplishment of Items 1 and 2 above.
The documentation of Items 1 through 3 above is available at the FPC
Nuclear Operations Training Facility for your review if desired.
This inspection was conducted April 29 to May 1,-
1985, to review this
recertification documentation and to verify that all training and experience
requirements are met for each of these individuals prior to issuance of
licenses.

Licensee representatives told the inspectors that the basis they established
for this recertification effort was 10 CFR 55.10(a)(6), as stated in the
Confirmation of Action Letter, and all commitments they had previously made
to the NRC in the license training area. A Training Department Procedure,
(TDP 210), " Interim Licensed Operator Replacement Certification Program,"
(Rev. 0), dated March 22, 1985, was written to guide this recertification of
the nine license candidates.
The inspectors noted that the procedure does
not include all requirements of the approved training procedures that were
in place during the conduct of license training for these candidates, nor
the replacement license training program in Section 12c of the Crystal River
FSAR.
The justification provided by the licensee for this exclusion was
that the NRC had pointed out numerous discrepancies in the training
procedures during the January training inspection and therefore they were not
used as input to TDP 210. The inspectors stated at the exit interview that
this does not appear to be a valid or acceptable exclusion.
10 CFR 55.10(a)(6) requires that evidence be provided by the licensee that
an applicant for a license has learned to cperate the controls in a safe and
competent manner. A statement on the license application (NRC form 398),
signed by the highest levels of corporate management for plant operation,
certifies that the applicant has or will have completed by the time of the
examination all the required training, and has learned to operate the
controls in a safe and competent manner.
This required training is not defined in detail in 10 CFR, but within the
licensee's operator training program as contained in approved procedures
and/or the FSAR.
The requirements contained in the licensee's training
program should, therefore, be utilized as the basis for recertifying these
applicants prior to issuance of licenses.
In addition, the licensee has an obligation to evaluate the license candi-
dates to ensure that they have learned to operate the plant in a safe and
competent manner prior to examination by the NRC. These evaluation measures
and the minimum acceptable levels of performance are normally defined in the
licensee's training program.
At Crystal River, TDP 202, " Replacement
License Training Program", TDP 204, " Senior Reactor Operator Training
Program", and Section 12c of the FSAR contain this information. All of these
original evaluation requirements were not incorporated into TDP 210.
TDP 210 does not address specific evaluation of the candidates on abnormal
and emergency operating procedures. The candidates' knowledge in this area
should be evaluated to properly recertify their previous training.
The
inspectors noted that the requalification program contains a semiannual
evaluation form that is of a type which could be used for recertification.
The inspector was informed that few deficiencies were found during the
licensee's review of these operators' training records.
The only remedial
training deemed necessary was to give three candidates additional on shift
.
.
4
training time. The maximum required for any candidate was an additional 18
days on shift.
The inspectors examined the completed TOP 210 procedure and the supporting
records and discussed these documents with licensee representatives to
assess
the adequacy of
the
recertification
program.
Significant
discrepancies were identified and are detailed in paragraph 6.
The nature
of these discrepancies was discussed in detail with licensee representatives
in a meeting on April 30 and again in the exit interview on May 1, 1985.

Observed Discrepancies in Recertification Process
a.
Classroom Training
TDP 210,
paragraph
2.0,
" Training Requirements," addresses the
documention of grades made by the candidates on previous written exams.
The acceptance criteria stated in paragraph 2.a. are as follows:
Phase 1 - Classroom Training must be satisfactorily completed by
having at least an 80 percent average overall and 70 percent in
each category when all written examinations are averaged together.
This training shall include 42 hours4.861111e-4 days <br />0.0117 hours <br />6.944444e-5 weeks <br />1.5981e-5 months <br /> of HT/FF/Thermo and 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />
of Control and Mitigation of Accidents.
During the January 1985 NRC inspection, it was noted that the number of
written examinations given to this licenss training class had been
reduced from previous classes by approxima'tely 60 percent.
Remedial
examinations, when necessary, were exactly the same as the original
examinations.
With knowledge of this practice and access to his
original examination, a candidate could invalidate the examination
process. This would be unacceptable.
It was additionally noted that
some remedial examinations were never graded prior to the NRC
examination in December.
By letter dated May 5, 1982, the licensee stated that the FPC training
program includes 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of training in Heat Transfer, Fluid Flow, and
Thermodynamics (HT/FF/Thermo) and 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> of Mitigating Core Damage
(MCD) training.
TDP 210 specifies 42 and 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> respectively.
Through procedure revision, however, the license training program now
contains only 28 and 12 contact hours, respectively, in these subjects.
Licensee representatives stated that these candidates took the shorter
courses. TOP 210 includes these items as requirements, and they are
initialed as being complete.
As justification for the acceptability of shortened courses for reactor
operator candidates, the licensee states that the current R0 Replace-
ment Program includes 28 hours3.240741e-4 days <br />0.00778 hours <br />4.62963e-5 weeks <br />1.0654e-5 months <br /> of HT/FF/Thermo (RO-19 through 25) and 2
hours of Natural Circulation training (RO-46).
Additionally, as a
prerequisite for RO positions, each candidate must complete the Non-
Licensed Operator (NLO) course or equivalent. As part of that course,
each NLO receives 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of HT/FF (ANA0-10). Thus, R0 candidates do
-
.
.
5
receive at least 42 hours4.861111e-4 days <br />0.0117 hours <br />6.944444e-5 weeks <br />1.5981e-5 months <br /> of HT/FF/Thermo.
In addition to the above
training for an R0, an Upgrade SR0 candidate receives 28 more hours of
HT/FF/Thermo (SRO-19 through 25) and 2 more hours of Natural
Circulation training (SRO-46).
Thus, Upgrade SR0s have at least 72
hours of HT/FF/Thermo training.
Instant SR0s, without previous R0
experience, currently receive 28 hours3.240741e-4 days <br />0.00778 hours <br />4.62963e-5 weeks <br />1.0654e-5 months <br /> of HT/FF/Thermo (SRO-19 through
25), plus 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> of Natural Circulation AT0G training (SRO-46). The
licensee reviewed each Instant SR0 candidate's college transcript and
training hi story to determine if the additional
12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of
HT/FF/Thermo training was received.
Both Instant SR0 candidates
were considered by the licensee to have exceeded the 42-hour
HT/FF/Thermo requirement.
The licensee justified the shortened MCD training program in a similar
manner.
The current R0 Replacement Program teaches 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of
Degraded Core (RO-44) which was developed by B&W. This is supplemented
with 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> of Plant Computer training (RO-97), 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of Emergency
Procedures training (RO-74 through 76) on loss of feedwater, loss of
coolant, and inadequate core cooling,12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of transient training
(R0-47 through 49) on loss of coolant and over/under cooling, and 4
hours of Post-Accident Sampling System (R0-105) training.
In total,
the R0s receive 38 hours4.398148e-4 days <br />0.0106 hours <br />6.283069e-5 weeks <br />1.4459e-5 months <br /> of training in the mitigation and control of
core damage.
Upgrade and Instant SR0s receive training identical to
the R0s and, therefore, have also had at least 38 hours4.398148e-4 days <br />0.0106 hours <br />6.283069e-5 weeks <br />1.4459e-5 months <br /> of training
(SRO-44,47,49,72,73,74,101,109).
The inspectors stated at the exit interview that the acceptability of
taking credit for previous training outside of the established program
would require further review by NRC management.
It appears, however,
that the current training program, as implemented by training
department procedures, does not meet the commitment made to the NRC by
the May 5, 1982 letter. The inspectors stated at the exit interview
that this discrepancy should be corrected promptly by revisions to the
TDPs.
This is an unresolved item (50-302/85-22-01).
b.
On-Shift Training
TDP 210, paragraph 2.b., states the following acceptance criteria for
R0 candidates:
Phase 2 - On-shift training shall be satisfactorily completed by
having at least sixty (60) work days as an extra person on-shift
in the Control Room in training and must have completed at least
five (5) major reactivity changes and/or plant manipulations as
described in the Requalification Training Program TDP-203.
At
least two (2) reactor startups must be performed either as part of
this phase or Phase 3 - Simulator Training.
For SR0 Upgrade candidates the criteria are:
Phase 2 - On-shift training satisfactorfly completed by having at
least sixty (60) work days on-shift as an extra person in training
r
c
.
.
6
and must have directed at least five (5) significant plant
evolutions.
For the Instant SR0 candidates the criteria are:
Phase 2 - On-shift training shall be satisfactorily completed by
having at least sixty (60) work days on-shift as an extra person
in training.
During these sixty (60) days at least five (5)
significant reactivity changes must be performed and/or directed.
The March 1980
H.
Denton letter on " Qualifications of Reactor
Operators" and NUREG 0737 Item I.A.2.1 require that candidates for an
R0 license spend three months as an extra man training in the control
room, and SR0 candidates spend three months on shift as an extra man
training as an SRO.
Item I. A.2.1 was implemented at Crystal River by
an NRC Confirmatory Order dated July 10, 1981.
During the record review conducted as part of this inspection, the
inspectors determined that one SRO Upgrade candidate had not officially
entered the license training program until August 1984.
During the
January NRC training inspection there was no record that this
individual had completed the three months on shift as an extra SRO.
The licensee has, as part of the recertification effort, reconstructed
a record of this training.
Credit was given, per the control room
logbook, for days on which this individual was assigned as a Chief
Nuclear Operator (CN0) prior to entering itcense training. Although
this position is
not
required by the
facility's Technical
Specifications, it is a normally filled, procedurally required position
with designated duties and responsibilities. The inspectors stated at
the exit interview that this time as CNO is, therefore, not considered
to fulfill the extra SR0 in training criterion.
Two Instant SRO candidates had 60 days of documented on-shift training
i
time, however, most of that time was spent as a non-licensed operator
or an RO trainee.
Cycling these individuals through these non-SR0
positions for training should have been in addition to, and not in
place of, the required SR0 training.
Other on-shift training records, which were deficient by as much as two
of the required twelve weeks of training, have had new documentation
added since the January inspection.
Much of this reconstructed
documentation also assumes credit for on-shift positions which are not
,
applicable to RO or SRO training.
l
l
The NRC inspectors stated that the three months training as
an extra RO or SR0 on shift should include the following attributes:
l
The objectives of the training should be established in writing.
-
1
The candidate should be in a training status and supervised by
-
training department personnel or designated operations personnel.
!
u
t'
.
.
7
-
The training should be structured and scheduled in advance to the
extent possible (i.e., the program can be broken into segments to
provide simulator training or classroom training on evolutions
conducted or to be conducted during observation training).
-
If the training is not continuous, then 3 months equates to 65 - 8
hour shifts (5 days per week, 4.3 weeks per month).
l
It does not appear that the on-shift time which the licensee credits
toward recertification meets this guidance. Although the control room
logbook establishes that the candidates were on shift at the credited
times, the candidates were often signed in as filling a role other than
that for which a license is sought.
Some entries designate the
candidates as trainees, but most do not.
The records, original and reconstructed, do not clearly support the
contention that the candidates have fully met the requirement to
complete 3 months on shift in training for the licensed position they
seek. The inspectors cannot conclude that this requirement was fully
met.
TOP 210, paragraph 2.b. requires that five major reactivity manipula-
tions be performed by RO candidates and directed by SR0 candidates.
Only four of the candidates had original Reactivity Record Forms to
document their manipulations. Forms have been partially reconstructed
for some of the other five candidates, but they are not specific.
Credit was frequently taken for routine feed and bleed boron
concentration changes.
The inspectors stated they do not consider
those to be major reactivity changes.
The on-shift training records for several candidates indicate that most
days were spent in the performance of " normal operations."
The
licensee, therefore, utilized the manipulations listed in the control
room logbook as the basis for recertifying that those candidates had
performed the required control manipulations.
The records are
contradictory and do not indicate what training was actually done. It
cannot be concluded from a review of the records that the required
reactivity manipulations have been completed,
c.
Oral Examination and Walk-through
TDP 210 states that all candidates shall have satisfactorily completed
a walk-through and an oral examination. The description of replacement
operator training in Section 12c of the FSAR requires that areas of
deficiency identified in oral examinations be strengthened as required.
An oral board is defined in TDP 203, " Licensed Requalification
Training," and TDP 202 (Revision 0), " Replacement Operator Training,"
as consisting of at least three members, including a supervisor and two
instructors.
The licensee indicated during the January training
inspection that an oral examination, by definition, was the same as the
oral board referenced in TOP 202 and 204, and, therefore, should meet
E.
~
l
-
t
i

,

l
the same requirements. Numerous one and two-man oral examinations were
)
conducted for these candidates.
Particularly in the case of one-man
l'
oral examinations, the grades appeared to increase substantially over
those conducted with the required number of training and operations
staff. TDP 204 (Revision 0) required that a license candidate pass a
,
!
final oral audit examination to be eligible to take the NRC exami-
nation.
This requirement was removed by later revision. The December
1984 license applicants did not receive a final oral audit examination
or evaluation.
!
During the recertification process, to date, no new oral examination or
walk-throughs have been conducted. The inspectors examined the records
of previous oral exams and walk-throughs.
The oral exams were
conducted with varying numbers of examiners. They were generally short
and of marginal quality.
Candidates took varying numbers of exams,
,
j
ranging from one to four. With one exception, the grades were averaged
'
to achieve a grade for documentation per TDP 210.
!
One RO candidate was recertified despite an average oral exam grade of
j
less than 80 percent. Licensee representatives explained that, for this
l
candidate, credit was only taken for oral exam number 3, which he
!
passed. The inspectors stated that the same criteria should be applied
to all candidates, rather than varying methods for different candidates.
!
The licensee countered that if the scores on oral exams taken prior to
i
the 1984 license training class were omitted, the candidate met the
l
passing
criteria.
The candidate had taken oral
examinations
previously but was withdrawn from the 1983 license class.
!
The candidates' oral exams appeared to have several deficiencies. Oral
exam number 3, mentioned earlier, was conducted by one individual.
There was no weighting of point value with respect to a question's
importance.
In the area of normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures
the only question asked was to determine the turbine roll speed for a
'
given plant condition. The candidate scored 100 on this question and
thus the area of procedures overall was graded 100.
This single
question is clearly inadequate to assess the candidates' knowledge in
this area. Even when there were multiple examiners, they did not each
grade all questions, but rather each graded an area alone.
The exam
records often contain multiple comments on sign 'icant candidate
knowledge deficiencies, but no retraining or other remedial action is
,
documented.
The replacement operator training program in Section 12c of the Crystal
l
River FSAR required walk-through examinations to t:e given at random
i
intervals throughout the course of the program.
TDP 202 (Revision 0)
!
required that each individual pass a final walk-through examination,
normally conducted by an outside contractor, prior to taking the NRC
l
examination. Most individuals in this class were administered only one
l
or two walk-through examinations.
A licensee representative stated
that all walk-through examination scores were averaged to recertify the
j
candidates per TOP 210. The inspector noted minor discrepancies in the
!
u

mathematics of this process, but no instances were found in which these
errors resulted in a false determination of satisfactory performance.
One SR0 candidate apparently received no walk-through examination
during his SR0 training. Licensee representatives stated they consider
this acceptable because the candidate had a walk-through during his
previous R0 training.
The' TDP 210 evaluation completed for the
candidate reflects that the training staff has waived the requirement
for this candidate. The inspectors stated they do not consider this
,
acceptable since the R0 walk-through was long ago and an SRO
walk-through should test for different knowledge levels and emphasis
than the R0 walk-through.
One SR0 candidate apparently received only a partial walk-through since
only 30 percent of the checklist was complete. The walk-through had
been graded, however, and credit was taken in the TOP 210 evaluation.
Three license candidates received 13 to 15 negative comments on walk-
through examinations including significant deficiencies, such as not
know1ng the required immediate actions of an abnormal operating
procedure or the location of essential plant equipment. Despite these
significant deficiencies, all three individuals passed the walk-
throughs at 81.5 percent. In addition, there was no specific remedial
'
training documented, nor a follow-up walk-through examination given, to
ensure that the deficient areas were upgraded.
One individual failed a walk-through examination with a 67 percent
about one week before the NRC examination.
No remedial training or
retest was apparently given.
No final walk-through was administered to these nine individuals to
ensure that all deficiencies were resolved, and that they were, in
fact, knowledgeable of the plant and its emergency and abnormal
procedures. TDP 202 (Revision 0) required that each student
demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of all nuclear plant systems and
equipment by completing a system check-off list.
This list contained
an instructor signature slot for each major system to verify individual
knowledge and qualification.
TDP 202 (Revision 1), which was
implemented near the end of this license class, no longer contained this
system qualification requirement.
.
TDP 202 and 204 (Revision 0) required that all license candidates
demonstrate the ability to competently manipulate the controls during
all normal, abnormal, and emergency operations, and to understand the
indications available during each evolution. These abilities would be
certified as part of the simulator training program.
Babcock and
Wilcox (B&W) certified by letter to FPC only that reactor startups had
been successfully completed by each individual on the simulator.

to abnormal and emergency conditions.

marked unsatisfactory for an individual in the past, however, the
licensee had elected to ignore them on the basis of the B&W simulator
not being plant specific.
1
In a letter dated June 30, 1978, Paul Collins of the NRC informed FPC
that evaluations of an individual's competence must be made at the
facility, in accordance with paragraph 4.c (10 CFR), since the B&W
simulator does not " closely parallel" the Crystal River control boards.
The only in plant evaluations in the area of emergency and abnormal
operations, as well as systems, conducted for this license group were
the walk-through examinations. These oral exams and walk-throughs do
not appear adequate, however, to assure that the candidates have
achieved all required knowledge,
d.
Conclusions
As stated at the exit interview, the inspectors conclude that the
recertification process was not adeauate to ensure that the nine
candidates have successfully completed all the required training.
Problem areas are as follows:
(1) Classroom training in Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow,
and Mitigation of Core Damage was shorter than ccmmitted to by the

the requirement for performing or directing five major reactivity

the recertification process was acceptable. The licensee has not been
able to adequately demonstrate that all required training has been
satisfactorily completed, and that there has been adequate evaluation
