Title:

Licensed Operator lNo.: l Revision: 5 l Page: 2 l l Requalification Training l 01-S-04-2 l l l 1.0 PURPOSE AND DISCUSSION "

1.1 PURPOSE 1.1.1 The purpose of the continuing training (requalification) program is to enhance nuclear plant safety and reliability by maintaining a level of skill and knowledge in Control Room Operators, Shift Supervisors and Shift Superintendents as required to achieve high standards of job performance.

1.2 -DISCUSSION j 1

1.2.1 To achieve this purpose, a continuing training program must be i established which is sufficiently broad in scope to review areas of knowledge necessary for safe plant operation and flexible enough to cover recent operating experience and operational changes. The continuing training program should satisfy the following broad objectives:

a. Maintain and improve skills and knowledge required to accomplish routine and emergency duties.

b. Establish a system for evaluating and documenting i performance levels on a regular (at least annual) basis.

l t

c. Provide a vehicle for dissemination of lessons learned from l industry operating experience.

d. Improve the teamwork and diagnostic skills.  !

1.2.2 This procedure does not address the requirements for general employee training nor training for fire brigade members or leaders.

1.2.3 Licensed staff personnel are encouraged to participate in the i continuing training program because of the potential benefits to other trainees as well as maintenance of their own skills and knowledge. They can provide technical input, management viewpoint and visible evidence through their presence that management considers training to be important. In addition, participation in the continuing training program by licensed staff personnel affords them an opportunity to interact with operations personnel to promote overall improvements in operations. Should licensed staff personnel be assigned job responsibilities of control room personnel, they should be pre-pared as discussed in Section 6.10, Inactive Status Retraining.

1.2.4 Licensed staff personnel may be exempt from participation in specific areas of the continuing training program to the extent that their normal duties preclude the need for retraining in the specific areas. This exemption from retraining shall be approved by the Training Superintendent.

6.4.2 Annual Requalification Examination Schedule - Annual requalification examinations may be administered in sections.

i.e. written, oral, simulator. The schedule must ensure, however, that all examinations are completed within the annual cycle.

a. Consideration should be given in establishing the schedule to the possibility of individuals having to complete accelerated retraining prior to passing the annual examination.

6.5 Simulator Performance Evaluations - The annual evaluation of performance will be conducted on the GGNS simulator.

• 6.5.1 Scenarios for evaluation exercises should contain specific performance standards for key actions by the operating team.

6.5.2 Questions for the evaluators to ask each team member and suggested acceptable response should be included in evaluation scenarios. These questions should be consistent with the individuals job requirements.

a. The questions should be consistent with continuing training program learning objectives and verify the retention of job-related theory and principles.
