. 'l I. Purpose - .

This document sets forth the requirements for the Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator Requalification Program for Idaho State University's (ISU) AGN-201 Nuclear j Reactor (Docket #50-284) in accordance with Title 10 of the Federal Code of Regulations '

Part 55.59 (10CFR55.59). The purpose of the requalification training program is to ensure that all operations personnel maintain proficiency at a level equal to or greater. l than that required for initial licensing. '

11. Schedule A complete requalification training program shall be offered biennially.: The program  ;

consists oflectures, on thejob training, and written, oral, and console evaluations. ne-classroom retraining includes eight different lectures to be offered at least once during the biennium. The evaluations shall be conducted annually. Each operator shall be required -

to perform licensed functions for at least four ' hours during each quarter.' The performance of licensed functions entails:

1) Performance of corrective maintenance. I
2) Performance of preventiv'e maintenance or surveillance.
3) Radiological wort under the reactor license. j
4) Making preparations to the facility to perform'an experiment with the -

reactor.

5)- Securing from an experiment with the reactor.

6) Reactor console run time. '

g 7)- Administering reactor' console exams to senior reactor and ' reactor -

3 operators.

O

(

W j Each operator licensee shall complete the program biennially. The licensee shall enter  !

l the requalification pmgram on the date the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issues a new l

license. The licensee shall continue in the requalification program until either the ,

expiration date of the current license or the date at which the current license is  !

terminated.

. 111. Lecture l

The program shall include coverage of the following eight topics which shall be offered i at least once during the requalification training period: '

Topic Reference a A. Nuclear Reactor Theory Standard Nuclear Engineering Text; l 3 B. Radiation Control and Safety 10CFR Parts 20 and'. 30, ISU W

Each lecture shall include a brief review of the last Reactor Safety Committee Meeting Minutes i N with an emphasis on approved changes to the reactor facility procedures. All of the maintenance j }' and surveillance procedure entries since the last lecture shall also be reviewed. - The frequent .

N updates shall ensure that the operators are current on all reactor facility activities. Any operator - -

j may be assigned to present a lecture, r '

IV. On the Job Training l A. - Each operator shall perform licensed functions for at least four hours per quarter j to satisfy 10CFR55.53(e).

This training shall be evaluated by any lice'nsed operator.

1 C. As a minimum, to demonstrate proficiency at manipulating the reactor facility-

! controls, each operator will perform at least one complete Operating Procedure j #1 (0.P. #1) Startup and Shutdown per quarter, provided that reactor operation i g is possible. Senior reactor operators may not take credit for their required O.P.

V. Evaluations The ability of the operator to perform licensed functions shall be determined through evaluations which shall be conducted annually. There evaluations shall include written .

and console examinations. These examinations may be administered in any order, at any time during the year, and on different dates.

A. Written Examinations The written examination shall be administered as a closed book exam in a controlled area. The operators shall reference only retained knowledge and shall have only paper, pencils, erasers, and calculators to complete the exam. The -

content of the examinations shall satisfy the requirements of 10CFR55.41 and may include requirements of 10CFR55.43. The Reactor Supervisor (RS) and the Reactor Administrator (RA) shall be responsible to prepare, administer, and grade the written examination. Therefore, the RS and the RA are exempt from the written examination.

B. Console Examinations Each operator shall demonstrate familiarity _with the following operator activities _i during the console examination:

1. prestart check,
2. startup,
3. operation at power, and
4. termination.

The console examinations are required only during those years in which reactor operation is possible. ~ Console examinations may be evaluated by any senior reactor operator. Every licensee shall participate in the console examination.

C. Grading The criteria for grading the assignment of pass / fail are established as follows:

1. Written Examination. The licensee shall be assigned a raung of either SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY.: . In order to obtain a rating of SATISFACTORY, the licensee shall attain a minimum score of 70%

it. each section of the examination. ; If the licenwe fails to attain a rating of SATISFACTORY, the licensee shall he removed from his/her licensed duties and enroll in an accelerated training program in the deficient area.

V. Evaluations (Continued) -

2. Console Examination. The licensee shall be assigned a rating of either SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. In order to attain a rating of r

- SATISFACTORY, the licensee should demonstrate an understanding of the L

operation of all apparatus and mechanisms. This is evaluated thmugh the ease and smoothness the operator performs the prestart checks,- startup,-

power operation, and termination. - If the licensee fails to attain a rating of SATISFACTORY, the licensee shall be removed from his/her licensed duties and enmiled in an accelerated training pmgram in the deficient area.

VI. Operator Reinstatement . j t-An operator may be removed from active status by 'failing to actively perform the -

functions of an operator during any calendar' quarter or by failing to attain a satisfactory; g grade on an evaluation exam. The calendar quarters are as follows: January thmugh i g . March, April thmugh June, July through September, and October through December.

l 4 10CFR55.53(f) outlines the requirements for operator reinstatement. i I

If an operator has not actively performed the' functions of an operator for a period of  ;

more than one calendar quarter, he/she shall satisfactorily demonstrate his/her competence ,

! before resuming his/her licensed functions. This is accomplished by performing at least )

L six hours of licensed functions,' including at least one O.P '#1 Startup and Shutdown,- 1 y under the direction of a licensed operator. Part of these six hours of licensed functions i s may be from the hours fmm the previous calendar quarter. Upon completion of this 4 activity, the opentor shall be certified for operation by the Reactor Supervisor.

If an operator has failed to attain a satisfactory grade on any evaluation, he/she shall demonstrate his/her competence before resuming his/her duties. This i.(accomplished '

through participation in~ additional training in the area of deficiency. Upon completion of the training, the operator shall be certified for operation by the Reactor Supervisor after successfully completing another evaluation in the area of deficiency.

VII. Records Operator Requalification tracking shall be maintained through a number of logs and forms. Lecture attendance shall be maintained on the Requalification/ Training Lecture a Forms. Each operator will record their performance of licensed functions upon

, completion on the Individual Operator Licensed Function Tracking Form. The annual 4 written examination key shall be kept as part of the Operator Requalification records.

A record shall be maintained for each licensee and shall contain a current copy of the licensee's reactor operator license, copies of all written examinations administered to the g licensee during the requalification- period, the medical examination: form fmm the j licensee's last medical exam, and the licensee's Requalification Program Progress V Checklist.

Rev. 2, D A h St4

i VII. Records (Continued)

The checklist shall contain the record of attended lectures, on thejob training, written and console examination evaluations, a record of operator reinstatement, medical examination

! completion date, and medical examination due date. Additional forms may be kept in'the i 1 licensee's record to provide supporting documentation and may include license l

t u

} applications and renewal.
