13.2 TRAINING
A retraining and replacement training program for the facility staff is maintained and meets or exceeds the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978, 10 CFR Part 55 and the requirements of the Technical Specifications.
An emergency plan training program is maintained to cover licensee and non-licensee individuals or groups assigned to the various functional areas of emergency activity.
Radiation protection training is given to personnel requiring unescorted access to controlled areas of the plant.
The initial and requalification training programs for Operating personnel include training in the use of installed systems to control or mitigate accidents that severely damage the core as required by NUREG-0737.
- a. These training programs incorporate the instructional requirements necessary to provide personnel to operate and maintain the facility in a safe manner in all modes of operation.
13.2-1 Revision 2016-00 GRAND GULF NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)
13.3 WRITTEN PROCEDURES
The Site, Administrative, Entergy Nuclear South (ENS) procedures, and Entergy Nuclear (EN) procedures govern the operation and maintenance of the facility in a safe and efficient manner.
Written procedures and administrative policies are established, implemented, and maintained in accordance with the Quality Assurance Program described in the QAPM.
13.3-1 Revision 2016-00 GRAND GULF NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR)
13.4 RECORDS
Record retention requirements are addressed in the Entergy QAPM.
Plant Administrative Procedures define the responsibility for, and provide a method for the collection, filling, indexing, storing, maintenance and disposition of those records subject to the provisions of US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.88, Revision 2, and American National Standard 232-1975.
