Background
The NRC Technical Training Center (TTC) coordinates with the NRC headquarters ofTices and regions in the development and implementation of =
NRC staff tecimical qualification programs. Technical training is provided for NRC personnel, selected NRC contractors, and other Government organizations, as appropriate. Training is provided to initially teach and -
continually maintain NRC inspectors, operator licensing examiners, reviewers, project managers, operations officers, technical managers, and other NRC personnel with the level of knowledge of reactor technology and other specialized technical training necessary to perform assigned agency functions. Principles of the systems approach to training are routinely used throughout the life cycle of courses managed by the TTC, The reactor technology curriculum consists of a spectrum of courses involving both classroom and simulator training covering the General Electric, Westinghouse, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock & Wilcox -
reactor vendor designs. Reactor technology courses are typically presented by _
TTC staff members. The TTC manages the operation, maintenance, and upgrade of three full scope reactor training simulators and associated computer equipment in suppon of established training needs. There are presently three full scope reactor training simulators located at the TTC, modeling the General Electric, Westinghouse, and Babcock & Wilcox reactor vendor designs.
The specialized technical training curriculum consists of a number of courses in engineering support, health physics, safeguards, and inspection or examination techniques. The TTC provides specialized technical training through presentation of custom developed courses by the TTC staff, presentation of customized courses by TTC contractors, coordination of slots (training opportunities) in courses that are presented by other Government agencies, and identification and promotion of appropriate commercially
. available courses that NRC personnel can attend as individual _ training opportunities using the NRC Form 368 process managed by the Office of
. Personnel. For many of the contracted _ courses, NRC perspectives are provided by specifically designated individuals from _within the agency stalT. ;
This Syllabus of Courses provides a description of each course, including course length, instructional hours, location, prerequisites for attendance, applicability. Specific training requirements for the various technical--
positions can be found in documents such as NRC Inspection Manual
- Chapter 1245, Examiner Standards, and Office Directives.

(615)-892-8100 Course Schedule The TTC course schedule is published annually as a memorandum from the.
Director,'ITC to all NRC employees. This memorandum gives a chronological and topical listing of the courses offered by or through the TTC. Each of the courses mentioned in this memorandum is described in this Syllabus ofCourses. Changes to the TTC course schedule are made as needed to reDect course data changes, course additions, or course -
cancellations. Such notiGcation will be made in memorandum form and forwarded to Training Coordinators.
Registration Registration of students into courses conducted or coordinated by the TTC -
is accomplished through the Training Coordinator of the region or NRC omce concerned. Training Coordinators have the responsibility of-prioritizing the names of their personnel for available slots.- Individual =
supervisors who want their personnel assigned to a given course must dojo through their appropriate training coordinator. The 'ITC controls attendance to all courses listed in this syllabus unless indicated otherwise on the individual course description sheets. For courses identiGed as available through the NRC Form 368 process, the Form 368 should be submitted by.
the appropriate Training Coordinator to the Omce of Personnel.
Slot allocations for courses that are a part of a full course serictor cross training series are made for the entire seriesi Supervisors should realize that once an employee is registered for a course series, a commitment has been made for that employee to attend all courses in the series. Once scheduled.:
student's should not be withdrawn from a course series except for personal emergencies. Supervisors should also recognize that once an employee is pulled from a course series, it will be dimcult to get that employw into'-
another series.:.
viii
l Tec hnical Training Center 1993_1994 Course letters Approximately six weeks before a course begins, the names of students selected for attendance are announced in a standard course letter mailed to Training Coordinators. Any slots not taken will be considered open and made avadable to othen.
Class Siw Each course conducted or contracted by the 1TC has a maximum enrollment that has been chmen to give the student a quality learning experience while making optimum use of course instructors and facilities.
Each course also has a minimum enrollment, if the course registration fails to reach or drops below that level, the course will normally be deferred or canceled. Once course letters have been mailed, a student's registration should not be canceled except in an emergency.
Course Manuals Course manuals for counes managed by the TTC are indicated on the individual syllabus page associated with each course and are issued to students on the first day of each course. Course manuals are not mailed to students prior to counes. Some students, however, wish to do some pre-coune study prior to arrival. To support this, the Technical Training Center has provided several copies of commonly used manuals to major NRC headquarters omces and regional omces. These manuals are typically located in the reference library or equivalent for each omce and are typically controlled by Training Coordinators.
Attire Casaal business attire is appropriate for class attendance. Any special requirements will be announced in individual course letters.
Student Work All students should be removed from compressed work schedules for the pay Schedules periods (s) during which the student will attend 1TC courses. In the unlikely event that 1TC counes must be scheduled over a holiday, students would be required to attend on the holiday.
Course llours The standard course hours for all classroom courses conducted at the TTC are 7:30 AM to 4:15 PM. Hours for other types of courses such as simulator counes depend on the availability of simulator time. Hours for contracted courses may vary based on course location and availability of special facilities.
The actual course hours for all courses will be promulgated in the standard course letter to coune panicipants.
Reaching Students attending 1TC courses are generally unavailable to their omce Students during classroom hours. Students will not be called out of the class for During Classes telephone rnessages unless the message is dealing with a personal or family emergency. Messages will be taken for all other incoming calls and are posted on a bulletin board. Students may return calls during breaks between classroom presentation and after class has ended for the day. Calls which are is l
Tahnical Truning Center 1993 1994 to be retumed during break periods should be sufficiently short to allow students to return to the classroom before class resumes. This is necessary to ensure that each student receives the maximum benefit from the training and '
other students are not distracted by late arrivals.
Smoking The Technical Training Center is located within the Osborne Office Building, which is a no-smoking building.
Examination Examinations are given at the end of most TTC courses. Students required -
Policy by NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 1245 (or other formal requirement) to complete a course as pan of their qualification program must pass the :
examination. The passing grade for all TTC courses is 70% except for Site.
Access Training and Site Access Refresher Training which require a score of 80%. Some employee qualification programs may requite a higher passing grade for some courses.
Examinations for TTC worses are linked to learning objectives associated with course modules. These learning objectives are provided to students at the beginning of courses and are normally included as pan of the course manual. Examinations for reactor technology courses and some specialized technical training courses are normally randomly generated by a Computerized Examination Bank System which contains validated questions.
After course examinations have been graded, course reponing letters with actual course grades will be sent to the appropriate Region or Program Office -
via the Training Coordinator. Students will receive a copy of this letter along with the completed examination if the examination was not previously returned. Course reponing letters for students who satisfactorily complete a course (or course series) will reflect that the minimum requirements have been met, and a training certificate will be provided. Course reponing letters for students who fail a course (or course series) will identify areas in which additional attention is needed so that the appropriate upgrading program can -
be planned and implemented.
Since there is typically no pre-course examination, the _ final course examination grade is not necessarily indicative of the level of effon expended by the student. Examination results indicate only the knowledge level of the
. student at the conclusion of a course, and the numerical grade should not be used as a performance indicator.
1 Examination results are normally considered final. If a question concernmg -
- the grading of an examination arises, the examination will be regraded j
provided the examination has been discussed with the student's management; x-
~]
Tdnical Training Center 1993-1994 the student's management requests the regrading of the examination in writing, to the appropriate 1TC llranch Chief; and the original examination is returned to the1TC. Under no circumstances will a copy of the examination be regraded. The complete examination will be regraded by an instructor who was not associated with the original examination. Any regraded examination is considered as the final grade for the examination and will be returned to the student's management.
Equivalency examinations may be given to certain experienced personnel for the purpose of validating certain stand-alone counes or courses of the Reactor Technology Course Series. Such equivalency examinations must be requested in writing by the student's immediate supervisor in a memorandum to the Director.1TC. These requests must include detailed remarks on the individual's prior experience and/or education to allow the Director.1TC to make a decision regarding an equivalency exam.
Experience has shown that individuals rarely validate both the 300 level Tecimology Course and the 500 level Advanced Technology Course. Even experience as a senior reactor operator on an operating plant does not guarantee a background suitable for validating both of these courses.
Additionally, students who validate counes typically miss out on many NRC penpectives that are presented during the coune. The1TC recommends that even individuals with excellent backgrounds validate only the first course of a series.
Ik uivalency Equivalency examinations, if approved by the Director,1TC, are given t
Examination under certain conditions. Students validating a TTC reactor tecimology Policy coune may take the equivalency examination at the1TC. Requests are also considered for the equivalency examination to be given in the regional omce or program ofTice on the regular examination day for the course that is being validated. Students authoriaed to validate both the 300 level Tecimology Course and the 500 level Advanced Technology Course may do so individually or simuhaneously, if the validation is to be done individually, the equivalency examination for each of the courses will be taken at the 1TC (or at the employee's office if approved) on the regular examination day for each course that is being validated, if simultaneous validation is to be attempted, then a comprehensive equivalency examination will be taken at the TTC on the regular examination day for the 500 level Advanced Technology Course which is being validated.
Students validating required contractor courses may take an equivalency examination either at the 'ITC or in the employee's omce at a time agreed upon by the student's immediate supervisor and the TTC.
. xi
Tedmical Training Center 1993 1994 Reexamination Written reexaminations may be given to students who receive failing grades, Policy subject to certain limitations. Reexaminations are rarely given to students
]
who :eceived a course grade ofless than 50%. In this situation, the only way to get the student cenified for that particular course is to have the individual repeat the course. No reexaminations are given, regardless of the grade, if the -
course which has been failed is not required training for the individual unless a request is received from the student's management. Only one i
reexamination will be given to a student for any given course. Any student who fails a reexamination must repeat the course to satisfy the training requirement.
A reexamination for a student who is not excluded by the above limitations must be requested in writing by the student's management in a memorandum or letter to the Director, TTC Such requests must be received by the TTC within 30 working days from the date the examination letter identifying the failure was mailed to the student and immediate.
supervisor. A prepared reexamination will then be mailed with a cover letter signed by the Director, TTC, to the student's immediate supervisor. This letter will indicate how the reexamination should be administered. The completed reexamination must be returned to the Director, TTC, immediately upon completion.
At the time this syllabus was issued, there was a strong possibility that a BWR/4 reactor simulator would be acquired and that the majority of BWR training would be shifted to the BWR/4 base. Accordingly, BWR full course series based on both the BWR/6 and BWR/4 designs are described. The full course series for a panicular reactor technology area consists of four courses which must be taken in succession. These courses are indicated below for the General Electric, Westingboase, Combustion Engineering, and Babcock &
Wilcox reactor vendor designs.
