This evaluation was conducted according to INP0 85-002 "Criteria for the

Accreditation of Training in the Nuclear Power Industry " dated January 1985.

-A listing of the INPO Evaluation Team Members is enclosed with this report.

Phil McCullough served as the overall Team Manager. The INP0 Evaluation Team

Members w're divided into two teams to address Process and Content, each with

a separata Team Leader.

The Accreditation Process

!

On Monday morning, a training session was conducted by the Team Manager and

the Team Leaders for the peer evaluators from INP0 member utilities.

Otherwise, the accreditation process was essentially the same as in prior team

(

visits as obEerved by NRC staff members (see memorandum dated August 7, 1985,

from Morisseau to Booher).

I attended numerous meetings and interviews during my 5 day observation,

'

i

Monday afternoon. I attended a general introduction and overview of the INPO

Accreditation Team Visit process with the Plant Manager. Tuesday through

Friday, I attended morning briefings between INP0 and utility staff. These

'

meetings reviewed the INP0 concerns resulting from their findings of the

previous day.

I also observed as many interviews with both training and

..

operations personnel as I could. At the end of each day, I attended either

3

!

the Content or the Process daily evaluation wrap-up meeting, and then I

d

attended the final wrap-up meeting conducted by the overall Team Manager. At

the final wrap-up meeting, presentations were made by both the Process and

Content Team Leaders, but all Team Members were present and could add their

j

-

The Team Manager summarized the findings from the week long visit and

viewpoints. On Friday, I attended the exit briefing for the utility staff.

a

-

discussed future steps toward Accreditation. The Team Leaders then presented

-

a sunrnary of their group's findings. The Team Manager then stated that a

<

.

formal exit meeting with the Vermont Yankee findings would be held in 3 or 4 ,

weeks.

,

.

.

Results

.

The following were some of the Vermont Yankee concerns expressed by INPO

about the Vermont Yankee trsining program:

,

'

r

l

An overall training program description needs to be prepared for

Vermont Yankee.

i

e

l

'

The program description should be jointly endorsed by operations and

,

training,

t

.

..

l

Learning objectives need to be written for the nonlicensed operator

program.

.

The continuing training program for nonlicensed operators needs to be

l

documented.

I

'

!

A formal OJT program for operators needs to be developed.

1

Tasks from the JTA for SCR0s only need to be identified in the

instructor guides and the instructor guides should be based on these

tasks.

Job descriptions of operations personnel need to be updated to

include training tasks (i.e., Shif t Supervisors).

l

Qualification Standards for Operators are necessary.

-

-

"

Short Term Instructors need to be evaluated formally.

The continuing training program for the Shift Engineer needs to be

formalized and documented.

A Qualification Standard for the Shift Engineer is necessary.

A consnitment that all future training candidates will participate in

an accredited training program is necessary.

Conclusions

Vermont Yankee

i

-

i

The INPO Evaluation Team Members did a thorough job of reviewing

,,

Vermont Yankee against the criteria for Accreditation.

'

,

The process appeared to be highly professional and labor intensive.

-

,

I noted a healthy emphasis on continuing training.

Yermont Yankee has an excellent plant-specific JTA.

General

<

-

l

It appears that while Vermont Yankee and the industry have made large

l

strides in training, the Accreditation process is moving too fast. A

slower pace may be more beneficial to all parties concerned.

'

l

l

-~

beneficial, but that more than two visits for one individual is

I found that observing one INPO Accreditation Team visit was

probably unnecessary.
