SUBJECT:

INSPECTION MANUAL CHAPTER 1246: QUALIFICATION JOURNALS FOR URANIUM RECOVERY INSPECTOR AND LICENSE REVIEWER in response to recommendations in the Uranium Recovery area discussed in the March 1997, Final Report on the Integrated Materials Performance Evaluation Program (IMPEP), we have developed qualification journals for Uranium Recovery inspectors and License Reviewers, and have drafted two new exceptions to be included in Section 124611 of Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 1246. The exceptions address: 1) grandfathering staff with substantiSI experience, and 2) negating a need for formal recualification for another arogram area. This effcrt has been coordinated with the Region IV staff.

The purpose of this memorandum is to solicit your comments on these modification, to IMC 1246, particularly tne revised Section 1246-11. The modified sections are provided in the attachment. Please provide any comments by December 5,1997.

Personnelin the process of qualifying when new revisions are issued, may complete their qualification under their original requirements, but must complete any new formal l classroom training requirements in their area within three years from the date of the revision.

Waivers to specific new formal training requirements and extensions to the three year time period can be granted using the procedures outlined in Section 124611.

1246 11 EXCEPTIONS 11.01 Inspectors or license rey; ewers who, through education and prior experience of at least 5 years in the specific fiald, possess sufficient knowledge to meet minimum requirements, may be grandfathered. Requests for such exemptiona should be made from the indWidual's supervisor to the Office Director or the Regional Administrator and sliould consider the candidate's ability to conduct inspections or licensing activities without the benefit Of the additional knowledge and regulatory perspective which would be gained by attending the specific courses.

11.02 Inspectors or license reviewers qualified for one program area covered in this manual chapter, such as those for fuel cycle facilities, need not be requalified under this manual chapter for another discipline, such as Radiation Specialist. The individual, after completir J the additional training required may receive qualification in writing from the Office Director without any further requirei ents. '

11.03 Inspectors or license reviewers who, through prior experience and education, possess sufficient knowledge to meet minimum requirements, may validate specific courses through satisfactory completion of equivalency examinations. Requests for equivalency examinations should be made from the individual's supervisor to the Director, TTD and should consider the t andidate's ability to conduct inspections or licensing activ!tles without the benefit of the additional knowledge and regulatory perspective which would be gained by attending the course. Use of these examinations is generally expected to be a rare occurrence.

11.04 The Regional Administrator or Office Director or their designee has the authority to waive any requirement or extend 'ho time period for c,1y requirement listed for an inspector or reviewer in this manual chapter. Justification for the waiver or extension will be documented, and entered into the individual's training file.

1240 12 POST QUALIFICATION TRAINING This manual chapter identifies training requirements beyond those that are required for ini;ial qualification for the experienced inspector or license reviewer. For inspectors or reviewers who have received certification of initial qualification, additional training is identified in the sections entitled " Supplemental Training" and

  • Refresher Training." Refresher training is required as specified in Appendix A. This additional training recognizes that inspector or reviewer training does not stop with initial qualification, but that training should be made available for experienced inspectors or reviewers on the basis of need, special circumstances, and the necessity of keeping current with inspection and licensing programs.

I APPENDIX B NRC INSPECTOR TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION JOURNAL A. PURPOSE To establish a method of conducting and documenting successful completion of the training requirements set forth in this manual chapter.

B. BACKGROUND The NRC Training and Qualification Journal (NRC Journal) is designed to ensure that a uniform method of conducting and documenting training is being followed for allinspectors.

The NRC Journal establishes the minimum training requirements that must be met for all required general and formal training courses listed in Appendix A and serves as a guide for development of other training and qualification journals (i.e., regional and vendor journals).

C. BASIC REQUIREMENTS The NRC Journal must be used to conduct and document training activities for allinspectors.

The Technical Training Division (TTD) is responsible for developing and maintaining the NRC.

Training and Qualification Journals. The Training and Qualification Journals included as part of this Append lx B establish the minimum requirements for a Training and Qualification Journal that must be completed for each inspector type listed in this manual chapter and defined in Appendix A. Each regional and program office is responsible for developing and maintaining its Training and Qualification Journal and noting completion of the journal in each inspector's personnel record. The regional and program offices can expand on the minimum requirements listed, but canriot establish a Training and Qualification Journal that go below the minimum requirements. When an inspector's assignment involves a change in reactor types, such as going from a BWR 4 to a BWR 6, a modified qua'ification journal would be prepared to address the trailung required to address the difference.

NRC Training and Qualification Journals have been developed for the following titles.

SECTION Xil e

URANIUM RECOVERY INSPECTOR NRC INSPECTOR QUAllFICATION JOURNAL 6pplicability ,

This NRC Inspecto -Qualification Journalimplements NRC Manual Chapter 1246, Appendix A, Section Vill, by et.iablishing the minimum training requirements for personnel assigned to perform safety inspection activities at uranium recovery facilities. The Qualification Joumal must provide traceable documentation to show that minimum requirements are met for each inspector.

The NRC Inspector Qualification Journal consists of a series of qualification guides and signature cards. Each signature card is used to document task completion, as indicated by the appropriate signature blocks. Each signature card has a corresponding qualification guide which establishes the minimum knowledge levels or areas of study that m. 't be completed for each signature card.

Most of the qualification mides are divideo into sections. The eview sections of the qualification guides willidentify references with general application to the inspector's qualification. The insp3ctor should be expacted to have a general familic ity with these references. Other sections of the qualification guides will identify specific references that have direct application to an inspection or licensing discipline. The inspector should be exaected to demonstrate detailed knowledge of the inspection or licensing discipline specific refere eces, in order to support the review of upper tier documents, programs, and policies, the inspector's First Line Supervisor will assign one or more uranium recovery facilities as reference facilities. The selection of a reference facility is intended to provide the inspector's management with the ability to tailor the qualification process to the experience and training level of the inspector, and to meet the inspection and licensing needs of the NRC. The use of specific real world material will reinforce the qualification process.

INSPECTOR QUALIFICATION JOURNAL - Uranium Recovery inspector (Name) (Title) (Branch) (Section)

To complete your qualification as a Uranium Recovery Inspector you are to complete the following signature cards. All signoffs shallinclude the signature of the responsible reviewer and the date.

Maintain these cards in a notebook along with any background or written material required by the program. This notebook will comprise your NRC Inspector Qualification Journal.
