Mr. Robert D. Martin December 23, 1985 Page Two As a result of our meetings on December 12 and 13, 1985, OPPD presented a corrective action plan to members of your staff on December 13, 1985.
This corrective action plan consisted of the following elements:
Actions Planned for Remedial Group * (to be completed prior to March, 1986)
(1)
A detailed review of examination failed with each indivi-dual.
(2)
Accelerated training to be provided in identified weak areas.
(3)
Frequent quizzes will be provided during training to ensure mastery of learning objectives.
(4)
Training on written examination skills will be provided to each member of remedial group.
(5)
An audit examination will be provided to each member of remedial group by a qualified consultant to check overall readiness for recertification.
Actions Planned for OPPD's Requalification Program (1)
Improve attendance at scheduled requalification training sessions.
(2)
Provide performance-based training materials to licensed personnel and to the NRC.
(3)
Address the need for improved on-the-job training (OJT),
especially for senior operator licensed personnel.
- Remedial Group - Consists of those individuals who failed the NRC requalification examination (six) and the individual who failed OPPD's requalification examination.
This is also the group who will be provided accelerated requalification training in identi-fled weak areas, in accordance with OPPD's requalification train-ing program.
s Mr. Robert D. Martin December 23, 1985
'Page Three I appreciate the efforts of your staff in helping OPPD quickly understand the nature of the problem our personnel experienced with the recent NRC requalification examinations.
As I understand it, your staff has concluded that the OPPD re-qualification examinations administered this fall were of adequate quality, satisfactorily graded, and properly prepared and admini-stered.
Although this is a very significant, and not unexpected, positive result for OPPD, I want to assure you that I expect improvements in our requalification trainiag process as detailed previously.
Sincerely,
/$WhO R.
