2.0 Licensed Operator Training The Licensed Operator Training (LOT) program at Millstone Unit 3 is addressed in the Millstone Unit 3 Appendix Manual, Appendix D, Nuclear Training Manual, and Appendix E. Training Progran Implementing Procedures. These documents and those listed in Attachment A were reviewed to verify that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 55 were being addressed. The following areas of the training program activities were reviewed on a sampling basis to determine acceptabilit .1 Program Review The inspector reviewed the documents listed in Attachment A, concerning the license's Initial (LOIT), Requalification (LORT) and Upgrade (LOUT) training programs to verify that: Recent operating events identified in Plant Incident Reports, Licensee Event Reports, Significant Operating Event Reports and Information Notices were incorporated into the training program, Records of lecture attendance were being maintained and that required / scheduled personnel were in attendanc A schedule for the current training cycle / program had been developed and was being adhered t Plant design changes and modifications were incorporated into the training program when neede __

3 Records of the most recent examination grades and the individuals responses were maintaine .2 Lecture Content and Written Exam Results The inspector attended three scheduled lectures to determine the content and scope of instruction. The lectures attended were:

Electrohydraulic Control System (requal training)

Emergency Diesel Generators (upgrade training)

Emergency Diesel Generator Load Sequencer (requal training)

All training lectures attended by the inspector were professionally presented and addressed the enabling objectives of the lesso The inspector also reviewed the last Requalification final exam of five operators. Two operators had failed a written, NRC administered, requal exam and were subsequently administered a licensee generated requal exam after a one week self-study program. Both operators passed the licensee administered written exam. A review of the two exams indicated that their level of difficulty was comparabl Overall results of licensee administered requal exams averaged about 90 percen .3 Operator Interviews The inspector interviewed five (5) licensed R0/SRO's to determine if they believed that training being administered was sufficient and in enough technical detail to allow them to safely and competently perform their duties as reactor operators. All those interviewed believed that training was adequate. The inspector also asked several questions concerning surveillance testing and training on plant modifications. Surveillance training is normally administered during simulator training. Training for modifications following the last outage was performed by giving each operator a book containing a description of each modification made to the plant followed by formal classroom instruction on those modification Several operators expressed a desire to have more simulator time and to have formalized training on station systems used for support, in particular the Auxiliary Boiler System was mentione .0 Findings _

. No violations, unresolved items or deviations were identified within the scope of this inspection. All areas reviewed appeared to have been performed in accordance with the licensee's program requirements.
