The operator shall complete a minimum of six hours of operation tinder the supervision of an operator or senior operator as appropriate, covering the functions described in the preceding paragraph. | ||
2.2 Biennial Requalification Examination and Retraining Lectures Biennially a comprehensive examination will be administered to all operators having a reactor operator or a senior reactor operator license for more than 90 days. | |||
This examination will be given within a period of one to two weeks and will be of a scope and complexity equivalent to the license examinations administered by the Commission. The function of the examination is to establish the knowledge level of the operator in all areas applicable to the licensed activities he performs. The results of this examination shall provide the basis for a determination of those areas in which an operator needs retraining. | |||
The examination will contain questions from each of the following areas as described in procedure ES-40iN, "Preparation of Facility-Specific Written Examinations at Non-Power Reactors" of NUREG-1478, Rev. 1, Non-Power Reactor Operator Licensing Examination Standards: | |||
A. Reactor Theory, Thermodynamics and Facility Operating Characteristics B. Normal and Emergency Procedures, Radiological Controls C. Plant and Radiation Monitoring Systems 2 | |||
At the discretion of the facility training coordinator, a review program may be instituted to prepare individuals for the examination. The review program may utilize, but is not limited to, the following study aids: | |||
: a. Lectures or review seminars to present or disciiss in a preplanned manner the information relative to each of the areas listed above. | |||
: b. Worksheet questions and problems which the operator can answer in his spare time. | |||
: c. Taped lectures which the operator can review while on shift, but not while assigned console watch or other license required activity. | |||
The Training Coordinator is responsible for scheduling the preparation and administration of the requalification examination. Twvo separate exams will be developed and administered such that no licensed operators will take an exam they helped develop and review. The examinations will be developed from the MURR requalification question bank and other relevant source material. The examinations will be open reference. | |||
Each examination will be graded by the Train'Ig Coordinator and will be submitted to the Reactor Manager or Operations Engineer for review. The evaluation of each operator will be facilitated by completing an Examination Form as shown in Appendix A to this document. | |||
After all of the examinations have been graded, the Training Coordinator Will prepare the retraining schedule for those operators who were deficient in any area. | |||
An operator will be considered deficient in any area of the examination in which he scores less than 70%; he will retrain until he satisfactorily passes reexamination in the section(s) on which he scored below 70%. If the g-rade for an operator is less than 70% averaged over all required sections, the operator shall be placed in an accelerated training program until he has been retrained and satisfactorily passes reexamination over the section(s) on which he was below 70%,o with a grade greater than 70% in each section. Furthermore, the individual will be removed from licensed activities until he passes his written reexamination. All examinations and reexaminations will be rex-iewed with the operator and will be retained for a period covering the duration of each operator's license (> 6 years) in the facility's files. | |||

: 3. Where appropriate, there should be a differentiation between the RO and SRO level of tasks. An RO is only responsible for RO tasks; an SRO is responsible for all tasks. | |||
For each task, the facility specifies the criteria for satisfactory completion and indicates critical steps. Critical steps are those which, if performed incorrectly or not at all would prevent the system from operating safely or prevent completion of an essential safety action. Examples of essential safety actions are the ability to: | |||
effectively manipulate controls affecting reactivity actuate a reactor trip comply with technical specifications reduce excessive levels of radiation and to guard against personnel exposure | |||
: 4. Of the tasks that each operator must perform, at least one must be a control console operation involving a reactivity manipulation. This operation may be part of an overall evolution including more than one task. For example, an operator may perform a reactor startup as the first task, then respond to a simulated instrument failure during the startup as a second task. | |||
At least one task must involve a response to an abnormal event. Examples are an instrument failure, component failure, radiation monitor alarm or similar problem. | |||
At least one task must involve a response to an emergency situation. Examples are a building evacuation or a large reactor pool leak or high radiation levels. | |||
At least one task must be performed in the facility (i.e., out of the control room, where appropriate). | |||
: 5. At least two questions will be developed to ask the operator at the completion of each task. Questions may be selected from. facility question banks or previously administered NRC examinations. However, to the extent possible, the questions should: | |||
be based on the task or system being operated discriiminate between RO/SRO responsibilities, where appropriate emphasize knowledge required for task performance or procedure implementation A-5 | |||

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In August 1973 the AEC (now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission) published amendments to Parts 50 and 55 to Title 10, Chapter I, Code of Federal Regulations, which require that all licensees submit for approval an operator requalification program. All reactor operators and senior reactor operators shall complete this program as a condition for retaining their current licenses and meeting the requirements for renewal of their licenses.
This document is the Operator Requalification Program for the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) which is required by 10 CFR 50.54(i- 1) and conforms generally to the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59(c) as specified by 10 CFR 55.59(c)(7). All licensed operators at MURR shall participate in the program and shall satisfactorily complete this program during each requalification cycle, which shall not exceed 24 months in duration. Each two year requalification program cycle shall be promptly followed by successive requalification program cycles.
2.0 DESCRIPTTON OF THE PROGRAM The requalification program is divided into four major areas which are designed to provide assurance that all operators maintain competence in all aspects of licensed activities. The four areas are as follows:
- a. A biennial written examination which is used to verify the operator's knowledge level. Preplanned lectures shall be used to retrain those operators who demonstrate deficiencies in any part of the examination.
- b. On-the-job training which will ensure (1) that the operator maintains his competence in manipulating the plant controls and in operating all apparatus and mechanisms required by his license, and (2) that he has a thorough understanding of all emergency procedures.
- c. An annual operating test which will require the operator or senior operator to demonstrate an understanding of and ability to perform the actions necessary to accomplish a broad sample of applicable items specified in 10 CFR 55.45(a) (2) through (13). These applicable items are further specified in NUREG-1478, Rev. 1, Non-Power Reactor Operator Licensing Examination Standards, Procedure ES-301N, "Preparation of Operating Tasks at Non-Power Reactors," Attachment 1.
1
- d. Document review which will ensure all licensed individuals are cognizant of all design, procedure, and license changes.
2.1 Operation To maintain active status [as defined in 10 CFR 55.53(e)] each licensed operator shall actively perform the functions of an operator or senior operator for a minimum of four hours per calendar quarter. These functions can be documented for reactor operators for time performing refuelings, reactor startups, or as console operator.
Each senior operator can doctunent time directing refuelings or startups, or time directing shift activities.
Documentation of active status will be on the Active Status Log form (A-8). If a licensed operator has not been actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator as described above, the Reactor Manager shall verify the operator's license is current and valid. The operator shall complete a minimum of six hours of operation tinder the supervision of an operator or senior operator as appropriate, covering the functions described in the preceding paragraph.
2.2 Biennial Requalification Examination and Retraining Lectures Biennially a comprehensive examination will be administered to all operators having a reactor operator or a senior reactor operator license for more than 90 days.
This examination will be given within a period of one to two weeks and will be of a scope and complexity equivalent to the license examinations administered by the Commission. The function of the examination is to establish the knowledge level of the operator in all areas applicable to the licensed activities he performs. The results of this examination shall provide the basis for a determination of those areas in which an operator needs retraining.
The examination will contain questions from each of the following areas as described in procedure ES-40iN, "Preparation of Facility-Specific Written Examinations at Non-Power Reactors" of NUREG-1478, Rev. 1, Non-Power Reactor Operator Licensing Examination Standards:
A. Reactor Theory, Thermodynamics and Facility Operating Characteristics B. Normal and Emergency Procedures, Radiological Controls C. Plant and Radiation Monitoring Systems 2
At the discretion of the facility training coordinator, a review program may be instituted to prepare individuals for the examination. The review program may utilize, but is not limited to, the following study aids:
- a. Lectures or review seminars to present or disciiss in a preplanned manner the information relative to each of the areas listed above.
- b. Worksheet questions and problems which the operator can answer in his spare time.
- c. Taped lectures which the operator can review while on shift, but not while assigned console watch or other license required activity.
The Training Coordinator is responsible for scheduling the preparation and administration of the requalification examination. Twvo separate exams will be developed and administered such that no licensed operators will take an exam they helped develop and review. The examinations will be developed from the MURR requalification question bank and other relevant source material. The examinations will be open reference.
Each examination will be graded by the Train'Ig Coordinator and will be submitted to the Reactor Manager or Operations Engineer for review. The evaluation of each operator will be facilitated by completing an Examination Form as shown in Appendix A to this document.
After all of the examinations have been graded, the Training Coordinator Will prepare the retraining schedule for those operators who were deficient in any area.
An operator will be considered deficient in any area of the examination in which he scores less than 70%; he will retrain until he satisfactorily passes reexamination in the section(s) on which he scored below 70%. If the g-rade for an operator is less than 70% averaged over all required sections, the operator shall be placed in an accelerated training program until he has been retrained and satisfactorily passes reexamination over the section(s) on which he was below 70%,o with a grade greater than 70% in each section. Furthermore, the individual will be removed from licensed activities until he passes his written reexamination. All examinations and reexaminations will be rex-iewed with the operator and will be retained for a period covering the duration of each operator's license (> 6 years) in the facility's files.

2.3 On-The-Job-Training This section of the program provides assurance that all operators will maintain I competence in those major evolutions which can be performed by licensed, operators only. These evolutions consist of control plant manipulations and plant evolutions required by 10 CFR 55.59(c)(3), as applicable to MURR. The requirements are outlined in the checklist in Appendix A.
2.4 Arnual Operating Test and Evaluation The Reactor Management will, on a continuing basis, observe and evaluate the performance of all operators to maintain familiarity with the operators' competence in handling routine and emergency evolutions. This program implements the means of documenting the evaluations made by management.
The Training Coordinator, Reactor Manager, Reactor Operations Engineer, or Shift Supervisor will annually conduct an operating test for all licensed operators.
The person conducting the evaluation will complete an Operator Annual Operating I Test Evaluation Sheet (Appendix A).
2.5 Documented Review of Changes All design changes, procedure revisions, and license changes will be reviewed within 60 days. The reviews will be documented on the Change Review Sheet (Appendix A). The operator shall read the document attached to the Change Review Sheet and then sign the sheet verifying he understands the change. The completed.
Change Review Sheet will be retained for six years in Reactor Operations files.
I 3.0 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROGRAM'1 3.1 Training Coordinator The Reactor Manager shall assign, a member of the reactor staff to be the Training Coordinator (TC) for this requalification program. The Training Coordinator shall be responsible for:
- a. The overall administration of this program.
I b. Scheduling the preparation and administration of biennial written I!~_
examination.
I 4
- c. Assisting in the preparation of material., examinations, and retraining lectures or tutoring sessions.
d, Reviewing the graded examinations with the operators and scheduling any retraining indicated by the examination results.
- e. Periodically reviewing the on-the-job training checklist of each operator to ensure that the operators are progressing satisfactorily in this area of requalification. If an operator is not progressing satisfactorily in the on-the-job training, the TC will ask the operator's immediate supervisor to accelerate the operator's efforts.
- f. Scheduling the reviews required by the Reactor Manager or the Reactor Operations Engineer.
- g. Scheduling the annual operating test and the staff member who will conduct the test.
- h. Maintaining all of the requalification records required by Section 4.0.
- i. Annually reviewing the content of this program.
- j. Ensuring that all newly licensed operators are aware of the requirements of this program and are provided with the necessary requalification materials 3.2 Reactor Man aeer and Reactor Operations Enp-ineer The Reactor Manager, Reactor Operations Engineer and each Shift Supervisor will assist the TC as necessary to ensure that all operators participate in and complete all of the requirements of this program. They shall also schedule and conduct the reviews of changes in the license, facility design and operating procedures.
If an operator scores an average grade of less than 70% on the biennial examination, the Reactor Manager shall ensure that the requirements of Section 2.1 are met. The Reactor Manager or Operations Engineer will review the reexamination of a deficient operator with the TC and if the operator's scores are satisfactory, he shall reinstate the operator to normal licensed activities..
3.3 Individual Operator The extensive responsibilities of the TC for adnministering this progaram do not relieve the individual operator of the responsibility for ensuring that all of his requirements of this requalification prog-ram are completed as required.
5
4.0 RECORDS As indicated in Section 3.1, the TC is responsible for ensuring that all of the records required by this requalification program are maintained. The following records shall be retained at the facility for a period covering the duration of each operator's license (> 6 years):
- a. All examinations and required reexaminations which were administered during the requalification period and the answers used to grade these examinations.
- b. The examination review sheets completed after the biennial examination and any subsequent reexaminations.

Test Administration:
- 1. Tasks are derived from MURR specific tasks in the MNURR Operational Task Index.
- 2. The operating test is "open reference" with a minimum of 5 tasks evaluated.
- 3. Where appropriate, there should be a differentiation between the RO and SRO level of tasks. An RO is only responsible for RO tasks; an SRO is responsible for all tasks.
For each task, the facility specifies the criteria for satisfactory completion and indicates critical steps. Critical steps are those which, if performed incorrectly or not at all would prevent the system from operating safely or prevent completion of an essential safety action. Examples of essential safety actions are the ability to:
effectively manipulate controls affecting reactivity actuate a reactor trip comply with technical specifications reduce excessive levels of radiation and to guard against personnel exposure
- 4. Of the tasks that each operator must perform, at least one must be a control console operation involving a reactivity manipulation. This operation may be part of an overall evolution including more than one task. For example, an operator may perform a reactor startup as the first task, then respond to a simulated instrument failure during the startup as a second task.
At least one task must involve a response to an abnormal event. Examples are an instrument failure, component failure, radiation monitor alarm or similar problem.
At least one task must involve a response to an emergency situation. Examples are a building evacuation or a large reactor pool leak or high radiation levels.
At least one task must be performed in the facility (i.e., out of the control room, where appropriate).
- 5. At least two questions will be developed to ask the operator at the completion of each task. Questions may be selected from. facility question banks or previously administered NRC examinations. However, to the extent possible, the questions should:
be based on the task or system being operated discriiminate between RO/SRO responsibilities, where appropriate emphasize knowledge required for task performance or procedure implementation A-5
