OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION OPERATOR LICENSING PROGRAM

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Operator license training is a requirement of 10 CFR 55. The Operator Licensing Program for Oconee Nuclear Station is designed to provide the trainee with the necessary knowledge and training to become a competent operator. This program will be conducted on a continuing basis as the needs for replacement training demand. This program will include the use of lectures, on-the-job training, simulator training and audit examinations.

The program will be implemented so as to minimize scheduling difficulties that will be incurred by site management.

2.0 DEFINITION Reactivity Change An operator trainee that performs five reactivity changes from those listed below in accordance with Section'5.2, License Training Programs, Subsection 5.2.1.d), meets the requirements of 10 CFR 55, Appendix B.

(a) Critical approach from suberitical on source range instrumentation to critical at the point of adding heat on the intermediate range instru-mentation.

(b) Any power level change (increase or decrease) of 10 percent of rated power or greater with control rods in manual.

(c) Reactor shutdown from critical at 15 percent of rated power to sub-critical, shutdown on source range instrumentation.

(d) Boration or deboration during critical operation.

(e) Operation of refueling bridge to change core geometry during refueling.

3.0 EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS The minimum educational requirements for operator license trainees will be in accordance with Section 4.5 of ANSI 18.1-1971.

4.0 SCOPE The range of instruction provided for operator training includes complete training for personnel of various initial entry experience levels.

17912060 ff

(a) Erperienced personnel previously assigned to a nuclear or fossil station or military nuclear trained personnel.

(b) Technica1 school trained with cooperative education on-the-job training.

(c) Engineering graduates.

(d) Non-trained and non-experienced personnel.

The initial entry level which an employee is admitted into the operator training program shall be determined after a conservative evaluation of the employee's past experience and level of understanding.

5.0 TRAINING OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION Training and qualification of operators consists of classroom experience, on-the-job performance tasks, simulator training and audit evaluation.

Formal training consists of live lectures, taped lectures and self-study assignments.

5.1 ORIENTATION' TRAINING The screening of new employees is done at the station or General Office by means of pre-employment tests and interviews. Pre-employment tests are used as a selection measurement tool based on job success performance criteria for the selection of new employees. When a prospective employee is selected for employment and hired, he'is given orientation training which introduces him to the Company, Company and Station policy, nuclear energy, health physics, safety, basic quality assurance policies and procedures and basic system configurations. Qualification requirements for rastricted area access are met during orientation training. This phase of training encom-passes 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of live and taped lectures.

(Basic mathematics and basic nuclear physics subjects would be taught to those personnel as a prerequisite to entry into the program.) Equivalency for previous training and experience will be granted on a case-by-case basis to determine applicable sectors for bypassing.

(b) In-Plant Experience The on-the-job training phase shall assure that the license trainee will meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI 18.1-1971, Section 4.5.1.

The program will include a minimum of three months which will require the manipulation of nuclear power plant controls during day-to-day operation. This phase of training will include the performance of the Task Inventory checklists. The operator trainee will perform the Basic I, the Basic II and marked portions (*) of the Advanced I Task Inventory checklists during his in-plant training. These tasks will be documented by the trainee and an evaluation performed by the trainees' Shift Super-visor. These task inventories and evaluations will be filed in the operator trainee's training file. These task inventories are included as Enclosure 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3.

(c) Reactivity Changes The trainee during his on-the-job training phase will perform five reactivity changes as described in Section 2.0, Definitions, with no more than four being any combination of Items 2.b), 2.d), and 2.e).

Reactivity changes will be documented in the training files.

(d) Simulator Training All trainees will participate in a one-week (40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br />) simulator training course, consisting of 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> classroom and 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> simu-lator, at an approved facility such as the B&W simulator Lynchburg, Virginia and obtain certification attesting to this ability to:

(1) Manipulate the controls and keep the reactor under control during a reactor trip (2) Predict instrument response and use the instrumentation during a reactor startup (3) Follow the facility startup procedures (4) Explain alarms and annunciators that may occur during this operation Note: The above certification need not be obtained if the NRC licensing examination will include a reactor startup for the trainee during his operational portion of the NRC licensing examination.

(e) Review and Evaluation Following the above portions of the training program, a period of a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> will be utilized for review preparation for licensing examination and an audit examination with evaluation of trainees ability to successfully perform for a licensing examination.

! Evaluation and results of audit examination will be documented in the trainee's training file. If evaluation by the training staff and management determines a need for additional training prior to NRC licensing examination of a degree inconsistent with remaining time to examination date, a reassignment for future license training will be made.
