OVERVIEW OF PdRC'S PROCEDURES FOR QUAllFYING AN INSPECTOR OR LICENSE REVIEWER 3 l For NRC inspectors and license reviewers to become " certified" by the NRC, they must l complete the Core and Specialized training detailed in NRC's inspection Manual Chapter -

1246 (IMC1246),'" Formal Qualification Programs in the Nuclear Material Safety and  ;

. Safeguards Program Area." An inspector or license reviewer who has not completed all of the requirements for certification may be approved under " interim" qualifications. The NRC has defined its training program and developed a very detailed Training and Qualification Journal that must be completed for each inspector and license reviewer. i The NRC has categorized training requirements into the following priorities:

Core Training - Minimum formal classroom and on the job training required for a specific inspector or license reviewer. l Specialized Training - Additional training beyond core, necessary for certain >

licensed categories of use of radioactive materials. i Supplemental Training - Additional training used to enhance reviewer or ,

inspector's expertise. <

Refresher Training - Training designed to update and maintain qualification.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE

\

The working group developed suggested program elements that could be used by the Agreement States to develop a training qualification program tailored for their program and  !

fulfilling the overall objective of having staff meeting minimum qualification requirements that provide for a national consistency in the regulatory program. [

The Agreement States should document a training program that, at a minimum, contains a '

statement of policy, minimum qualifications for staff training, and supervisory responsibility  ;

for ensuring this policy is implemented. '

SAMPLE AGREEMENT STATE TRAINING POLICY STATEMENT l

We will ensure that staff will be qualified to perform licensing and inspection functions for all types of licenses issued by the state.

An individual will not he a lead inspector at a licensed facility unless the individual has demonstrated competency in the program training areas applicable to that type of license.

An individual will not be a senior license reviewer for a license unless the individual has demonstrated competency in the program training areas applicable to that type of license.

The program training areas and essential elements to be covered in each program training area are described in [NRC or State Guidance document], (specify the exact document).

When an individual has demonstrated competency in a particular training area to management, the training chart will be completed by that member of management.

Refresher training will be provided, as needed. This additional training recognizes that inspector and reviewer training does not stop with initial qualification, but that training should be made available for experienced inspectors and reviewers on the basis of need, special circumstances, and the necessity of keeping current with inspection and licensing programs, l

OVERVIEW OF WORKING GROUP'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AGREEMENT STATE PROCEDURES FOR QUALIFYlNG

~

l AN INSPECTOR'OR LICENSE REVIEWER Recognizing that Agreement States (AS) may not have the same task divisions as the NRC, and recognizing that the number of inspector or license reviewer positions in an individual AS may not warrant the development of extremely detailed qualifying procedures, the working group is proposing the following approach to training of AS personnel.

AS should develop lists of positions and basic training requirements for those positions, , i and develop some method to sign-off on completed areas of training (Some of the training requirements may be included in the requirements for hiring into the position.)

Basic Training - Minimum formal classroom or on the job training required for a specific inspector or license reviewer.

Specialized Training - Additional training necessary for categories of radioactive material uses (such as medical, radiography, well logging, etc.).

Advanced Training - Additional training used to enhance reviewer or inspector's expertise.

Continuing Education - Continuing education designed to update and maintain level of proficiency. Methods used to accomplish this may include training courses, professional meetings, staff meetings, policy and guidance documents, newsletters, access to professional journals or newsletters, etc.

SUMMARY

OF BASIC AND SPECIAllZED TRAINING FOR A.S. PERSONNEL Each individual state would establish or maintain lists of positions and the areas of training  ;

N to be provided for those positions. States should establish a sign-off system to track when  ;

training is provided.  !

Essentials of Health Physics - (NOTE: This is the minimum amount of health physics l training necessary to perform effectively. The following i methods can be used to establish this minimum i training: a B.S. degree in health physics; a B.S. or B.A.  !

degree with equivalent training and experience in health physics; successful completion of the 5-week health  !

physics course; or a training program that adequately j covers the topics covered during the 5-week course.) l Overall Program Orientation  !

. Essentials of performing license reviews according to the State's procedures l (This may be a graduated process)  !

Specialized Trainino:

Various subject areas would be covered with the license reviewerbefore he or she was  !

assigned responsibility for reviewing corresponding types of licenses. Each Agreement State is responsible for ensuring coverage for all types of licenses issued by the State.

This includes training that may be provided to certain individuals in order t'o expand or  ;
