3.1 PuzOIoee

This procedure provides instructions for conducting a requalification

. program which will assure that licensed operators and senior reactor operators maintain their proficiency.

3,2 Discussion:

There is a .stipulation for license renewal which requires each licensed individual to. demonstrate his continued competency. Competence may be demonstrated, in lieu of re-examination, by completion of an approved requalification pr'ogram.

The program will repeat on a continuing one year cycle, and in brief, will consist of:

1. A series of lectures, written examinations, revie~ of operating procedures and discussion sessions off shift.

2. On shift training wherein at least the required number of reactivity changes are performed, plant changes/modifications, operating proce-dure revisions and reportable occurrences are discussed, and perform-ance under both simulated and actual off-normal and emergency situa-tions is evaluat'ed.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 0301, PAGE 2 8/23/76 LICEN OPERATOR RE UALIFICATION PR Qf I

3. As individual licenses near the expiration date participation in the will be reviewed, evaluations of performance will be analyzed, 'rogram deficiencies will be rectified and a request for license renewal will be submitted to the USNRC.

4. Non-shift personnel who hold licenses and desire to keep their licenses effective shall participate fully in the program except for off-shift sessions devoted to subjects where their specialized knowledge precludes the need to attend.
