PART5 OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION PLAN
- 1. INTRODUCTION Reactor operator requalification applies to all the controls and some features of the TRIGA reactor at the Omaha Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (OVAMC) Research Reactor Facility. The purpose of this plan is to provide training of each individual that is to qualify for a license to operate or direct the operation of the TRIGA reactor. There are two license classes, one is an operator and the other is a senior operator. License qualification by written and operating test, and license issuance or removal, are the responsibility of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. No rights of the license may be assigned or otherwise transferred and the licensee is subject to and shall observe all rules, regulations and orders of the Commission. Requalification training maintains the skills and knowledge of operators and senior operators during the period of the license. Training also provides for the initial license qualification.
1.1 Operator License Status Active status of any licensee shall require the performance of the functions of an operator or senior operator for a minimum of four hours each calendar quarter. If the condition of an active license status is not met, the Director of the facility shall certify, (1) that the qualifications and status of the licensee are current and valid, and (2) that for recertification a minimum of six hours of license functions have been done. The license functions shall be done with supervision of the appropriate operator or senior operator. Otherwise the license status shall be inactive and no functions of the license shall be done.
1.2 Reaualification Proaram Bases Regulatory requirements and standards provide guidance for requalification training. Specific regulatory requirements are found in 10CFR55 for the licensing of operators and senior operators with regulations for requalification set forth in section 55.59. Standards for the selection and training of facility personnel and reactor operators are available in ANS 15-4.
Specific regulations in the form of two sets of license conditions also apply to the facility personnel and reactor operators. One set of conditions for the facility license,10 CFR 50.54, applies to facility personnel. The other set of conditions for individuallicenses,10 CFR 55.53 and 10CFR 55.21 applies to operators and senior operators. The fo3owing plan documents the requalification of operators and senior operators for the OVAMC TRIGA reactor facility.
