I. PURPOSE This document sets forth the requirements for the Reactor Operator and Senior Operator Requalification Program for the Nuclear Engineering Labora-tory Reactor Facility in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations
{CFR), Title 10, Part 55, Section 55.33.
II. SCHEDULE The licensee will complete the requalification program every two years.
The licensee will enter the requalification program on the date the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issues .either a new license or a renewal of an existing license. The licensee will continue in the requalification program until either the expiration date of the current license or the date
, at which the current license is terminated. The licensee will perform
- duties at the reactor facility which include the operation and maintenance of the reactor facility which include the operation and maintenance of the reactor, this will insure familiarization and retraining on a continuous basis.
III. LECTURE The licensee shall participate in a lecture program. The lecture program will be designed to include refresher coverage of the following:
A. Nuclear Theory l B. Radiation Control and Safety (10 CFR 20) '
C. Portions of 10 CFR 19, 50, 55, 70 D. Technical Specifications and the Reactor License E. Reactor Operating Characteristics F. Reactor Control and Safety Systems G. Emergency Operating, Normal, and Abnormal Procedures H. Changes, Modifications, or Malfunctions Occurring to Reactor
, Systems or Operational Procedures IV. ON-THE-JOB TRAINING (1) Each licensed operator will manipulate at least annually the controls of the reactor such that reactivity changes are made in i
performance of reactor operations when the reactor is operational and available.
(2) Each operator shall demonstrate familiarity with the following facility activities during the requalification period.
A. Reactor operating characteristics
- B. Reactor control and safety systems C. Emergency procedures D. Radiation control and safety (3)Each senior operator shall perform or directly supervise the performance of the above activities with the same frequency required of an operator.

V. EVALUATION
! The evaluation of the licensee's knowledge and performance of the requirements set forth in the requalification program will be accomplished by written examinations, a console performance examination, and an oral
, facility examination. The examinations will be administered by the reactor supervisor at the facility.
i The written examinations for the reactor operator Itcensees will be prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 55.21 and for the senior' reactor operator licensees in accordance with 10 CFR 55.33 The l console performance examination and the oral facility examination will be administered in accordance with 10 CFR 55 Appendix A. The licensee will be evaluated in accordance with the following specific requirements:
A. The licensee will complete at least one annual written examination each year.
B. The licensee will complete an annual console performance examin-i ation and an annual oral facility examination.
C. An annual evaluation will be prepared for each licensee, by the Senior Operator administering the evaluation and documented in a memorandum for record. The licensee will be assigned a rating of either SATISFACTORY OR UNSATISFACTORY. In order to obtain a rating of SATISFACTORY, the licensee must attain a score of 70% ,
on all examinations. If the licensee fails to obtain a rating of SATISFACTORY, the licensee will be removed from his licensed duties and enrolled in an accelerated, additional training program.
The additional training will 'be given and a re-evaluation will be made and documented.
4 D. If the annual evaluation indicates that the licensee can complete the requalification program within a shorter period of time, then the requalification program will be accelerated to meet the requirement.
IV. RECORDS f
A record will be maintained for each licensee and will contain the following information:
f A. Current copy of either the licensee's reactor operator or senior reactor operator license.
B. Copies of all written examinations administered to the licensee, and the correct answers given to the licensee, during the requalification period.
C. The annual evaluations of the licensee documented in a memorandum for record.
D. The licensee's requalification program progress checklist.

D VII. IMPLEMENTATION This document describes the program to insure proper and timely training of staff members licensed and assigned to operate a University of Utah reactor. The . Reactor Supervisor shall be responsible for insuring implementation of the requalification program for licensed personnel. The Reactor Supervisor will be reviewed for licensing requalification by the !
Reactor Safety Committee which will evaluate the Supervisor for operational competence during the Supervisor's li::ense tenure period, l
