SPENT FUEL DRY CASK STORAGE l

Description The purpose of the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage Special Qualification Package is to establish the qualification requirements of personnel assigned to perform Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage duties such as; Cask Crane Operation, Transporting, Packaging, Testing, and loading of nuclear fuel associated with Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage. Since most  ;

operations shift personnel typically do not perform these activities, only those trainees assigned by Operations Management to perform Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage duties are required to complete this qualification package.

The Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage Special Qualification Package consist of the following training components:

Qualification Card Job Performance Measures (JPMs)

Productive Work Evaluation Record (PWER) l

. Tne Qualification Method It is assumed, but not required, that the trainee will complete all training requirements of this qualification package during the initial Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage process in which he/she participates.

The Trainee must complete the entire package prior to performing any task independently.

Based on a review of both Surry's and North Anna's Spent Fuel Dry Cask Training Programs, Operation Personnel who have completed either sites' " Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage" training program are qualified to perform Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage tasks at North Anna.

i Training Requirements l

Normal Trainine Process Training on the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage is completed after completion of the Fuel Handling Program.

l The knowledge associated with the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage system is trained by completion of the associated Qualification Card or a classroom training session provided by the Supervisor-Operations Support or Designee.

The knowledge is evaluated using a Written Exam based on the objectives in the qualification card.

JPM - Training The training phase on Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage tasks using the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage JPMs can be completed at any time.

Training on each Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage JPM is to be performed by an individual qualified in Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage.

The JPM training should be conducted in a manner consistent with Virginia Power's on-the-job training guidelines.

As the training for each JPM is completed, the trainer must sign the applicable section of the trainee's PWER.

Task Evaluation All Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage trainees are required to complete the applicable JPM contained in the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage Special Qualification Package before independently performing a task.

Prerequisites Prior to being evaluated on any Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage JPM, the trainee must meet the following training prerequisites:

The trainee has completed the Fuel Handling Program i The trainee has completed the approved Crane and Hoist Training Course, which covered all areas of crane operation and inspection as required by VPAP-0810.

The exam required by VPAP-0810 (Crane Operator) may be incorporated into the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage exam if not previously completed.

Prior to completion of qualifications individual must pass a medical exam required as per VPAP-0810 (Crane Operator).

JPM - Evaluation Prior to JPM evaluation the trainee must have completed the knowledge checkout portion of the Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage qualification card or a classroom training session.

Evaluation on each Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage JPM is to be performed by a qualified '

Spent Fuel Dry Cask Storage individual.

The JPM evaluation should be conducted in a manner consistent with Virginia Power's on-the-job training guidelines.

NCRODP-PG-APP-E Page 4 Revision 1

As the evaluation for each JPM is completed, the evaluator must sign the applicable section of the trainee's PWER.
