-CERTIFIED FUELHANDLER TRAINING AND RETRAINING PROGRAMBy letter dated April 15, 2013 (Reference 1), Duke Energy Florida, Inc., formerly known asFlorida Power Corporation, requested approval of the Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) Training andRetraining Program for Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3). On June 27, 2013, during a teleconference between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Project Manager and CR-3, the NRCasked the following question:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Is the CR-3 CFH Training and Retraining Program in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.8,"Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants"?Response:

The CR-3 CFH Training and Retraining Program will conform to the requirements in Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 1, with clarifications.

CR-3 Final Safety Analysis Report, Table 1-3, "CrystalRiver Unit 3 Quality Program Commitments,"

will be revised after the CFH Training andRetraining Program and License Amendment Request (LAR) #313 (Reference

2) are approvedby the NRC. The wording in Table 1-3 will be revised to identify:

-Requirements for Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) Licenses will be replaced with CFHcertification upon approval of LAR #313.-Years of power plant experience and nuclear experience remain applicable, but thespecific experience requirements of power operation above 20 percent full power,startup, and shutdown, identified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) inANSI/ANS 3.1-1981, "Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for NuclearPower Plants,"

sections 4.3.1.1.b, "Shift Supervisor Experience,"

and 4.3.1.2.b, "SeniorOperator Experience,"

which refer to operating modes that will not occur, are no longerapplicable based upon the permanently shut down and defueled condition of CR-3(Reference 3).-The Shift Supervisor and SRO training programs will no longer be accredited by theInstitute of Nuclear Power Operations, once the licenses are terminated.

The CFH Training and Retraining Program will be based on a systems approach to training(SAT), in accordance with Section 50.120 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, "Training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel,"

and ANSI/ANS 3.1-1981.

As aconsequence, but in accordance with the SAT process, some items on the detailed list of courseinstruction provided in ANSI/ANS 3.1-1981, sections 5.2.1.1, "Nuclear Power PlantFundamentals,"

5.2.1.2, "Plant Systems,"

and 5.2.1.6, "Senior Reactor Operator Instruction,"

may be deleted from the program as they no longer become applicable to a decommissioning plant.
