Candidates shall have a minimum time of six (6) months at the FitzPatrick Plant and shall have completed all of the training and evaluation of Section 4.5.3. >

Senior operator license candidates shall have possessed an operator's license for one year and shall have four years of responsible power plant experience criar to appointment to positions requir-ing a senior operator license. Responsible power '

plant experience should be that obtained as a control room operator (fossil or nuclear) or as a power plant staff engineer involved in the day-to-day activities of the facility. A maximum of two years of power plant experience may be fulfilled by academic or related technical training on a one-for-one time' i' basis. Two years ihall be nuclear power plant experience, at least six months of which shall be at the FitzPatrick Plant.

4.5 PROCEDURE (Continued) l b. Phase II: On-the-Job Training.

i Candidates shall be assigned as an extra person in the Control Room for a m%imum of three (3) months l

of on-the-job training. This phase of training shall be programmed, closely supervised, and docu-mented to show the experience gained by each candi-l date. It shall include:

t

1. Participation in reactor and plant operations under instruction at power levels up to at least 207...

2. Performance of a minimum of five (5) reactf sity manipulations which demonstrate a familiarity with reactivity control systems and mechanisms.

An approved list of reactivity manipulations is contained in Indoctrination and Training Proce-dure No. 5; ":_icensed Operator Requalification Program". A diversity of reactivity manipula-tions should be achieved by each candidate.

3. Completion of reading and self-study assignments.

During this phase of training, the Training Coordinator or his representative shall periodically review the l

progress of each candidate.

c. Phase III: Simulator Training Normally, a reactor startup is required as part of the operating test given by the NRC. This portion of the operating test may be waived for candidates who satisfactorily complete a NRC-approved training program at a nuclear power plant simulator. For eligibility, the license application shall contain a certificate from the simulator training center attes ing to the candidates' ability to:

4.5 PROCEDURE (Continued)

1. Manipulate the controls and keep the reactor under control during a reactor startup;

2. Predict instrument response and use the )

instrumentation during a startup;

3. Follow the facility startup procedures; and l

4. Explain alanns and annunciators that may occur I during this operation.

d. Phase IV: University Reactor Training Startup, shutdown and low-power physics training at a university reactor facility should be strongly considered for candidates whose background is lacking in this " live" reactor experience. Typical of this group are ex-fossil operators, ex-Navy personnel

( except Reactor Operators and E00W's, and off-the-street personnel with limited operating experience.

e. Phase V: Review and Evaluation Training for license candidates shall include a mini-mum of forty (40) hours of review and evaluation.

l Evaluation of candidates shall consist of comprehensive written and oral examinations conducted by the Training Coordinator or his representative. These examinations shall be comparable in scope and depth to NRC written and operating examinations. Results shall be made i available to the Resident Manager and the Senior Vice-l President for Nuclear Generation for their final determination of the readiness of candidates for NRC examination and subsequent assumption of licensed responsibilities. Where results clearly indicate l that a candidate would not have passed NRC examinations, the license application for that candidate shall be withdrawn. ,
