1.0 PURPOSE Millstone 1 Operations staffing requirements for the decommissioning process include the positions of Certified Fuel Handler and Equipment Operator. The purpose of this training program is to define the method for providing continuing training for personnel in these positions.
2.0 APPLICABILITY This program applies to Northeast Utilities (NU) personnel designated for the positions of Millstone 1 Certified Fuel Handler and Millstone 1 Equipment Operator. Additionally, it applies to NU personnel involved in the planning, delivery, evaluation, and review of the Certified Fuel Handler / Equipment Operator Continuing Training Program. l l
3.0 TRAINING PROGRAM
SUMMARY
The Millstone 1 Certified Fuel Handler / Equipment Operator Continuing Training Program provides continuing training for personnel who are qualified as Certified Fuel Handlers and Equipment Operators. The continuing training course is based on a systematic approach to training consisting oflearning objectives derived from a Millstone 1 specific job and task analyses. The course will provide the trainees with die opportunity to meet the course objectives. As a performance i based program, trainee job 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, regulatory requirements, and industry events.
