REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
. MILLSTONE 1 BACKGROUND By a letter dated December 8, 1986, Northeast Utilities requested a review of their Revised Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program (NTM-3.04) for the Millstone Unit 1 Power Station. The training procedure clearly outlines the duties and responsibilities of the training staff and the goals of the program. However, further information is needed in the following areas.-
Section 6.4 - Examinations and Lesson Plans This section of the licensee's program outlines examination categories and indicates which members of the training staff have approval responsibility for each category. However, the categories are not clearly defined except that Category V is designated as a final examination for which the acceptable
- standard of performance is stated as " Satisfactory." Enclosure 1 of the March 28, 1980, Denton letter states that the criteria for the annual requalification examination shall be 80% overall and 70% in each category.
If the Category V examination is the annual or final requalification j.
examinatifon,itmustmeetthestandardasstatedintheDentonletter.
l Section 6.7 - Records This portion of the licensee's submittal states that records will be maintained in accordance with licensee Reference 3.4, " Nuclear Training Manual." Clarification must be provided with respect to the requirements of this reference so that the staff can ensure that the requirements of 10 CFR 55, Appendix A Paragraph 5, are met.
i
' Training Program No, MPI-LOR-86/87, Section 4.0 - Topical Outline This part of the-program description does not include " Applicable portions of
' Title.10, Chapter I, Code of Federal Regulations" under lecture topics.
Appendix A of 10 CFR 55, Paragraph 2.1 requires this subject to be part of the licensee's lecture series.
The' control manipulations required in this portion of the licensee's program appear to exclude the following manipulations required by Enclosure 4 of the March 28, 1980, Denton letter:
- -Loss of normal feedwater or normal feedwater system failure Loss of all feedwater (normal and emergency)
Main steam line break (inside or outside containment)
Because the licensee has described-the control manipulations differently than 1 it is possible that these manipulations are actually included in the program.
In a telephone conversation with the NRC subject matter reviewer, the licensee's training department has agreed to indicate how the control manipulations in the licensee's program correspond to those in the -
Denton letter, Accelerated Reaualification There is no provision in the licensee's submittal for an accelerated requalification program or removal from ifcensed duties when examination standards are not met. Paragraph 4.e of 10 CFR 55, Appendix A states that the requalification program shall include:
provisions for each licensed and senior operator to participate in an accelerated requalification program where performance evaluations conducted pursuant to paragraphs 4.a through 4.d clearly indicate the need.
