Report 88008 dated April 22, 1988 transmitted

a notice of violation

(50-255/88008-02(DPR))

concerning

I&C technicians

performing

TS Surveillance

MI-39 and not implementing

the procedure

when they did not obtain the required

trip indications

due to incorrect

test performance

and yet signing the data sheet believing

had properly completed

the surveillance

test. Consumers

Power Company's

letter dated September

2, 1988 provid.ed

our response t9 this notice of violation

that indicated

we .would include a post-training . evaluation

process for the I&C On-The-Job-Training (OJT) program in conjunction

with completion

of the I&C training enhancements

program by September

1, 1989. Consumers

Power Company has determined, by specific details given in the following

I&C Technicians

Advanced Systems Course Project Summary, that the completion

for the total project will take approximately

one year. Summary of Project Initial evaluation

of the notice of violation

(50-255/88008-02(DPR)

from IE Inspection

R.eport 88008 determined

the need for an advanced systems course for I&C Technicians

covering those systems affected by monthly Technical cation surveillance

tests. This course is being developed

using Consumers

Power Company's

Systematic

Approach to Training process. The process requires that Needs Analysis be conducted

to identify the specific training needs for the job position.

As a result of this analysis, the need for several additional

program improvements

have been identified, including

improvements

to the On-The-Job-Training

program and training needs have been prioritized.

The needs analysis identified

five duty areas i.e. 1) Reactor Protection

System 2) Aux. Feedwater

System 3) Thermal Margin Monitoring

System 4) Neutron Monitoring

System and 5) Safeguards

Actuation

System, which encompass

the systems affected by surveillance

test procedures.

Commission

?* * *Palisades

Nuclear Plant 2 \** '*. IR 88008 Update September

1, 1989 * * five duty areas was conducted

to ensure that the associated

tasks were identified

and updated to reflect recent plant modifications

and procedure

changes. Task analysis was then conducted

for each task identified

in the five duty areas. Utilizing

the analysis data, the training program was then designed to support the development

of the I&C Technician

advanced systems training for the classroom, On-The-Job

and laboratory

training settings.

The expanded scope of the project and prioritization

of the training needs has necessitated

the addition of several instructors

and instructional

technologists

and extended the duration of the overall project. Additionally, program development

was initially

delayed when the instructor

assigned to this project became critically

ill. New instructors

have been hired, completed

their required training and are becoming proficient

in their duties. To date, the Needs Analysis along with the Job and Task Analysis is complete for the five duty areas. In addition, the desigri of the training program for the five duty areas is complete.

Training materials

have been developed

for one of the five duty areas. T"ne classroom

and laboratory

training materials

for the remaining

four duty areas will be developed

over the course of the next year * Kenneth W Berry Director, Nuclear Licensing
