1.0 PURPOSE Millstone 1 Operations staffing requirements for the decommissioning process include the position of Certified Fuel llandler. The purpose of this training program is to define the method for certification of personnel for this position.
2.0 APPLICABILITY This program applies to Northeast Utilities (NU) personnel designated for qualification as a Millstone 1 Certified Fuel fiandler. Additionally, it applies to NU personnel involved in the planning, delivery, evaluation, and review of the Certified Fuel liandler Training Program.
l 3.0 TRAINING PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The Millstone 1 Certified Fuel llandler (CFil) Training Program prepares the candidate for qualification as a Certified Fuel llandler. The course is based on a systematic approach to training consisting oflearning objectives derived from a l
Millstone 1 specific job and task analysis. The course will provide the trainee with the opportunity to meet the course objectives. As a perfor nance based l
program, traineejob functions, performance and feedback will be evaluated in l
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, regulatory requirements, and industry events.
