The Operations Group Training is completed on the following forms:

^

Form 0-1 General Indoctrination Form 0-2 Qualification Requirements for Nuclear Plant Operator Form 0-3A Qualification Requirements for Nuclear Operating Supervisor Form 0-3B Qualification Requirements for Nuclear Watch Engineer Form 0-4 Qualification Requirements for Senior Reactor Operator

/~) F.orm 0-5 Qualification Requirements for Nuclear Auxiliary Operator Form 0-6 Qualification Requirements for " Fuel Handler" (Limited SRO License)

The use of a training form provide,s the Nuclear Training Specialist with maximum flexibility in completing required training. The Nuclear Training Specialist works with the Chief Operating Engineer, under the' guidance of the Senior Nuclear Training Specialist in scheduling the proper combination of on-the-job training and formal classroom training to accomplish the training specified on each training form. On-Watch training conducted is documented on

, Rev 2 i

() 'PNPS Training Form, Form G-5. Examples of the type of training to be documented on Form G-5 are: formal lectures, individual tutoring and plant walk-through.

i All individuals reporting into the Operations Group first complete Form 0-1, General Indoctrination. Following completion of Form 0-1, individuals will complete those additional qualification require-ments related to their job position. .

Massachusetts Engineer License Examinations will be scheduled as necessary by the Nuclear Training Specialist.

i 3.1.1.1.1. Nuclear Plant Operator C:)

All Nuclear Plant Operators are required to complete Form 0-1 l 1

and Form 0-2.

Form 0-2 -- Qualification Requirements for Nuclear Plant Operators --

Part D of the Nuclear Plant Operator qualification requirements consists of NRC Licensed Operator Training scheduled by the Nuclear Training Specialist.

Part B1 specified that the individual successfully complete-the NRC, Operator licensing preparatory course within the first enrollment. An overall course grade will be calculated for the course; by suitably averaging all written quizzes and exams, and entered in the space, " Course Grade". The candidate must obtain an 80% overall grade and 70% per section of his/

~

her qualification examination to sit for the actual NRC examination. Copies of all quizzes taken will be retained in the individual's training record until the operator's first license renewal. All training conducted during the license preparatory course will be appr6priately documented. At the end of the course, the number of hours spent in preparatory

! training will be entered in the designated space.

Part B2 included checkouts on certain critical plant systems.

Checkouts will normally be conducted by either a Nuclear Watch Engineer of the Nuclear Training Specialist.

Part C2 states that potential NRC licensee participate in the day-to-day manipulation of reactor plant controls for at least six (6) months, applicants shall have three (3) months training on shift as an extra person in the control room. This certification is made by the Chief Operating Engineer. During this period of on-the-job training, the performance of all reactor startups and reactivity manipulations should be documented in the appropriate spaces. Certification on a BWR Nuclear Power Plant Simulator may be used as a substitiute for the two required training startups. Acceptable reactivity manipulations are the same as those utilized in the NRC Licensed Operator Requalification Program (Section 3.1.2.1.3).

ms Par"t E2 requires that, after completing the formal and on-the-job training assigned, the prospective. licensee demonstrates to the Nuclear Training Specialist a satisfactory knowledge of each area covered by the NRC written examination.

An evaluation of the Licensed Operator Training completed is documented in Part El. Successful completion of an NRC Simulated Oral Examination is documented utilizing Form 0-7,

1. NPS Oral Examination Summary Report. The candidate must receive an average point value of 3.0 on Form 0-7. After completing an NRC simulated written examination, which is prepared and graded by the Nuclear Training Specialist, examin-ation results are documented in Part E2. Passing grade is 80%

Requirement 4 specifies that, after completing formal and on-the-job training assigned the prospective licensee.

demonstrates satisfactory knowledge of each area covered in the NRC Senior Reactor Operator, Limited to Fuel Handling, written examination. An evaluation of completed Fuel Handler training is documented in Item 5. This includes documenting successful completion of an NRC Simulated SRO, Limited to Fuel Handling, oral examination (utilizing Form 0-8, "PNPS Senior Reactor Operator, Limited to Fuel Handling Examination Report.") and the results of the n

- simulated NRC written examination. Note: Passing grade for the oral examination is a point average of 3. 0 or better on Form 0-8. Passing grade for the simulated NRC written examination is 80% overall and 70% per section of the examination.

After the prospective licensee successfully completes both examinations and is recommended for the NRC examination by the Nuclear Training Specialist, Senior Nuclear Training Specialist and Station Manger, the Nuclear Training Specialist will prepare the license application and schedule the license examination.

Initial operations group training is conducted on a schedule specified by the Nuclear Training. Specialist. TNe use of forms permit a great deal of flexibility in scheduling both formal day-shift training and on-shift, on-the-job training.

The Nuclear Training Specialist will work closely with the Chief Operating Engineer under the guidance of the Senior

\- N'uclear Training Specialist to develop training schedules such that the impact on plant operation will be minimized.

For example, individuals participating in on-the-job training I will normally be placed on different shifts to minimize the training workload per shift. Initial Operations Group training could be temporarily suspended during a refueling outage due to heavy manpower requirements.
