3.1 ~Poo oee:

This procedure provides instructions for conducting a requalification program which vill assure that licensed operators and senior reactor operators maintain their proficiency.

3.2 Discussion

Individuals actively engaged as licensed operators or senior operators are required by federal regulations to participate in a USNRC approved requalification program .

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.

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

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

3.2. 1 Off Shift Training which will consist of a series of lectures and examinations, and may also include discussion sessions and simulator training. 'e)
