Vice President of Operations

Framingham, Massachusetts 01701
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-29/86-03
This transmits the inspection findings by Mr. N. Dudley of this office at the-
Yankee Nuclear Power Station, Rowe, Massachusetts the week of January 13,'
1986. These findings were based on review of the licensed operator training
. program, and interviews with facility staff, and have been discussed with
Mr. N. St. Laurent of your . staff.
This inspection found that deficiencies exist in your training program which
may have contributed to the recent failure of Yankee operator licensing candi-
dates.
Inspection results indicate that there are weaknesses in two general
areas which are discussed in detail in the. attached report.
First, the body
of-knowledge for which licensing candidates are responsible is not well
defined. Secondly, there appears to have been a lack of adequate feedback
during-various phases of candidate preparation to correct. individual
weaknesses. Although these findings do not constitute violations, they are
indicative of-training program weaknesses which warrant your' prompt attention.
As. agreed during our telephone conversation of February 25, 1986 you and the
Yankee staff will meet with us in Region I at 9:30 am on March 7, 1986. Both
the enclosed report and the results of the recent operator licensing examina-
tions are agenda topics.
Please be. prepared to discuss our perceived program
' weaknesses particularly as they relate to the recent performance of your
licensing candidates.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely
Origihal Signed Byr'
Richard W. Starostecki, Director
Division of Reactor Projects
