1.0 TRAINING PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The Certified Fuel Handler Initial Certification Program prepares candidates for the position of Certified Fuel Handler. The Certification Course is based on a systematic approach to training consisting oflearning objectives derived from a Connecticut Yankee specific job and task analysis. The course will provide the trainee with an opportunity to learn the, skills and knowledge necessary to meet the course objectives. As a performance based program, traineejob functions, performance and feedback will be evaluated in maintaining and modifying the program content. Inherent in this process is the ability to change the program to meet training needs identified by evaluation, feedback, NRC requirements, and industrial events.
2.0 TRAINING PROGRAM GOALS
- _ The program goal is to provide operators qualified in the handling, storage, and I
cooling of nuclear fuel in a manner consistent with ensuring the health and safety of the public. This program will accomplish this by:
a) Initially documenting certification of NRC Senior Reactor Operator )
licensed operators as Certified Fuel Handlers at Connecticut Yankee. j b) Describing the requirements for training, proficiency testing, and certification of candidates that possessed a NRC Reactor Operator license.
c) Describing the requirement for training, proficiency testing, and j certification of qualified non-licensed operators! equipment operators at Connecticut Yankee.
l 3.0 STUDENT PREREQUISITES a) Certification of Senior Reactor Operators as Certified Fuel Handlers Must have held a current (within six months) NRC Senior Reactor Operator license.
Immediately enrolled in to the Recertification Program.
