3.1 ~pur ose:

This procedure provides instructi ons for conducting a requal i fi cat ion ',

program which will assure that licensed operators and senior reactor operators maintain their proficiency.

3.2 Discussio~:

Individuals actively engaged as licensed operators or senior operators are requi red by federal regul ati ons to parti ci pat e in a USNRC approved requal ification program.

Non-shift personnel who hold licenses and desire to keep their licenses effective shall participate fully in the program except for off-shift sessions devo'ted to subjects where their specialized knowledge precludes the need to attend.

As individual licenses near the expiration date, participation .in the program will be reviewed, evaluations of performance will be analvzed, deficiencies will be rectified and a request for license renewal will be submitted to the USNRC.

The program will repeat on a continuing one year cycle, and in brief, will consist of:
