Training Section. With the exception of special activity periods i such as refueling outages or heavy vacation periods, the lecture

series is to be spread as evenly as possible throughout each 2-year requalification program cycle. Lectures may be deferred due to unanticipated shutdowns with provisions being made for conducting j

deferred lectures at a later date. A minimum of six preplanned i lectures are to be scheduled each year. These lectures will I cover those areas where written examinations indicate the need for additional training in the following subjects:
