SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Johnte Smith, Crystal River Nuclear -

Training Supervisor, and Mr. Sandy Lawyer, Operator Licensing Section, arrange-ments were made/for administration of the operator licensing requalification examinations at, the' Florida Power Corporation, Crystal River Nuclear Plant. These examinations wili be given as part 'of' the Pilot Requalification Examination Programs.

r, The writtenaexaminations are scheduled for May 15, 1987, and the plant orals for the week of-May 18, 1987.

T In-order.for' us to meet the above schedule. it will be _ necessay.for the-

~

facility to -furnish' the selected reference material from the approved list

~

in Enclosure'l by March -15,1987.

Any delay in. receiving this material may result in a delay ~ in administration of the examinations. Our examinations are X/

scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present

\\ / Mmited examiner Therefore, missing the March 15, 1987, deadline, even by a few

.h,jjays, will likely result in a long delay, since it would not be possible to i resc'hedule daminations at other facilities. Mr. Smith has been advised of our selected refe?ence material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners' names and addresses where each set is to

'be mailed.

Training ' materials should include all substantive written material used for 7~

preparing candidates for initial. R0 and SR0 licensing. - The written-material

}D

.should be inclusive of learning objectives and the details presented during lecture, rather than. outlines. Training materials should be identified by plant.and unit, bound.oand indexed.

Failure to provide complete properly bound 'and : indexed plant reference material _ will result in canceling and rescheduling of the: examinations.

Training ' materials which include the

~

following:should'be provided:

Ta.

' System descriptions including descriptions of all operationally relevant-flow paths, components,' controls and instrumentation. System training M~s-material should ' draw parallels to the actual procedures used for operating the applicable system.

4

~

~b.

Complete and operationally _ useful descriptions of all safety-system interactions and,'where available, B0P system interactions under emergency _

and abnormal conditions, including consequences of ' anticipated operator error, maintenance error, and equipment failure.

-c.

Training _ material used to clarify and strengthen understanding of-I emergency. operated procedures.

~d.-

Comprehensive theory material that includes fundamentals in the area of k:n..

< theory of-reactor operation ' thermodynamics, heat-transfer and fluid flow, as well as specific application to actual in-plant components.

For example, mechanical theory material on pumps should include pump theory as well as descriptions of how these principles actually apply

=

to major plant pumps and the systems in which they are installed (i.e.,

Reactor-Coolant pumps, all ECCS pumps, Recirculation pumps,~Feedwater pumps and Emergency Feedwater pumps).

Reactor Theory material should Q

include descriptions that draw explicit ties _between the fundamentals t

~

and the actual' operating limits followed in the plant (i.e., reactor theory material should contain explanations how principles related to the actual curves used by operators to verify shutdown margin or calculate an ECP).
