13.2.1.1 INITIAL TRAINING PROGRAM:
The License and Technical Specifications courses have been integrated with the plant operating procedures training into the Control Room Operations course.
This will allow the 1
subject matter contained in the Technical Specifications to be reinforced in_the simulator sessions that are an integral part of the Control Room Operations course.
Likewise, fuel i
handling systems and procedures have been included in the systems training course along with the remainder of the plant systems.
Copies of the course learning objectives from the new License and Technical Specification training and the new Fuel Handling training have been provided for your review under separate cover.
VEGP does not intend to
}
weaken its licensed operator training program.
The lengths of the control room operations course and the systems
. training course have been adjusted to reflect the inclusion 3
of the additional material.
These changes have been made in tables 13.2.1-1 through 13.2.1-5 in amendment 24 of the FSAR except for the systems course in table 13.2.1-1 which will be changed in the next amendment.

/
VEGP has reviewed the training program for mitigating core damage against programs taught at other utilities and by vendors.
The results of our evaluation showed that some l
programs which are longer contain elements that are covered in other courses taught at VEGP.
For example, one of the l
programs reviewed contained training in heat transfer, fluid flow and thermodynamics which tended to result in a longer program.
These same subjects are covered in the VEGP training programs but are contained in the nuclear power plant theory course in lieu of the mitigating core damage course.
The review also showed areas for improvement in the VEGP mitigating core damage course and consequently the program length has been increased to at least two days.
This change has been reflected in Tables 13.2.1-1 through 13.2.1-6 of amendment 24 to the FSAR.
Copies of the learning objectives from the new Mitigating Core Damage course have been provided under separate cover for review.
The review and audit segment of the licensed SRO training program in Table 13.2.1-3 was omitted erroneously and has been corrected in amendment 24 of the FSAR.
~
~
VEGP does wish to reduce the length cf the nuclear power plant theory training provided to personnel who are in the categories described by Table 13.2.1-4.
I_t has been our experience to date that personnel who have the academic background to be in this category are able to successfully complete this course in a three week period of time.
The subject matter described in these tables has not changed.
VEGP has increased the control room operations course for i
senior reactor operators who are in the category of Table 13.2.1-5 to at least 6 weeks as shown in amendment 24 of the FSAR.
13.2.1.2 LICENSED OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAMS:
The exemption assignment shall be rotated annually to ensure each instructor takes at least one requalification exam in j
each two-year requalification cycle.
The next amendment to the FSAR will reflect these intentions.
Any instructor or licensed operator who-fails to complete 4
i any requalification program requirements may restore his qualified status by taking a comprehensive examination covering the portions of the requalification program which were not completed.
This practice would then be consistent q
with the waiver practices already authorized by the NRC and i
described in section 13.2.1.1.
Il the event that required
{
reading was the only delinquent area, then makeup of the missed reading material would be required to restore qualified status.
These changes will be made in the next amendment to the FSAR.
i VEGP will enroll certified instructors who teach systems, l
integrated response, transients and simulator courses to licensed operators in the licensed operator requalification program.
This represents a substantial increase in the 4
overall scope of the requalification program beyond that which was planned.
In order to implement these additional commitments, VEGP proposes an implementation schedule as follows.
Georgia Power Company employees would be enrolled in the program as soon as it begins following fuel load.
Any contract instructors teaching these subjects would begin participation in the scheduled requalification program activities in July 1987.
This schedule will allow VEGP to plan and staff adequately to support the added scope of the requalification program.
These additional commitments will be made in the next amendment to the FSAR.

1 Section 13.2 1.3.3 of the FSAR dealing with instructor qualification is being clarified to indicate that all instructors including contractors who teach systems, integrated response, transients and simulator courses to licensed operators will be licensed or certified.
13.2.2.
QUALIFICATION AND INITIAL TRAINING OF NON-LICENSED PERSONNEL VEGP agrees that non-licensed personnel must complete initial-training requirements prior to assignment to independent job duties.
VEGP has reviewed the initial training programs as previously defined to ensure that all information contained in those programs is necessary prior to performing independent job duties.
Only minor modifications are being implemented.
In the case of electrical maintenance personnel, the initial training program as previously defined contained course material on AC and DC fundamentals.
These courses are being retitled as basic electrical skills to better reflect the
. actual training needs of. the personnel.
Some of the continuing training program courses are being flagged for attendance only by selected personnel who will perform work in those specialty areas.
VEGP is implementing improvements in the on-the-job training program for non-licensed parsonnel.
An OJT checkoff list is being implemented in each of the discipline areas.
These checklists will detail a number of specific OJT qualification items which must be complete prior to being considered qualified to perform independent job duties.
Use of these checkoff lists is being substituted in lieu of the previous one week of on-the-job training contained in the FSAR.
The individual initial training program descriptions are being modified to reflect this change in our commitment from one week of OJT to a requirement to complete the initial OJT portions of the qualification checkoff list.
Copies of the checklists being implemented for the mechanical, electrical, instrument and control, and non-licensed operator are attached for information purposes.
Similar performance based checklists are being designed for implementation in the health physics, chemistry and quality control disciplines.
Accordingly, the duration of the initial training programs for each discipline is reduced by one week and a commitment to complete the initial qualification checklist is included.
Quality control personnel training is being modified to require only those portions of the training program which are necessary prior to assignment to job duties.
Additional systems training would be conducted for these personnel within their first year of assignment to the position.
Initial training program descriptions for foreman and supervisors of non-licensed personnel will be included in the next amendment to the FSAR.
The numbers of personnel completing initial training in accordance with Figure 13.2.2-1 should have included foreman in each discipline area since several of the foremen have completed the same initial training requirements as the technicians and other workers.
This oversight is being corrected.
Records to document course completion including waivers and documentation of qualification shall be retained in accordance with the VEGP Technical Specifications and Reg Guide 1.88 subject to the conditions specified in section 1.9.88.1 of the FSAR.
These requirements are contained in paragraphs 13.2.1.1 and 13.2.2.1 and are being clarified to prevent any potential conflict with the technical specifications.

Certified Instructor Requalification Certified instructors who teach systems, integrated response, transients, or simulator courses to licensed operators will be enrolled in the licensed operator requalification program.
These requirements may be met by teaching, performing or taking examinations for each required element of the requalification program.
No more than three instructors may be exempted from the la4 annual comprehensive examination during the calendar due to preparing and conducting this exam.
The exemption assignment shall be rotated annually to ensure that each instructor completes at least one requalification exam in each 2 year cycle.
In the case of certified instructors who are not licensed, conducting simulator training will be N!
m considered the same as supervising licensed duties in the control room.
Instructors who fail to complete these instructor requalification requirements will not teach the above listed subjects to licensed operators until they renew their certification.
Certification may be restored by taking a comprehensive examination over the subjects of the requalification program portions which were missed.
In the event that required reading was the only delinquent area, then makeup of the missed material would be required to restore qualified status.
