HIGH-LEVEL WASTE REPOSITORY LICENSE TECHNICAL REVIEWER

NRC TECHNICAL REVIEWER QUALIFICATION JOURNAL

[Applicability]{.underline}

This NRC Technical Reviewer (TR) Qualification Journal implements NRC
Manual Chapter 1246, Appendix A, Section XV, by establishing the minimum
training requirements for personnel assigned to perform HLW licensing
activities for a High-Level Waste (HLW) Repository. The Qualification
Journal must provide traceable documentation to show that minimum
requirements are met for each TR.

The NRC Technical Reviewer Qualification Journal consists of a series of
qualification guides and signature cards. Each signature card is used to
document task completion, as indicated by the appropriate signature
blocks. Each signature card has a corresponding qualification guide that
establishes the minimum knowledge levels or areas of study that must be
completed for each signature card. Most of the qualification guides are
divided into sections. The review sections of the qualification guides
will identify references with general application to the TR\'s
qualification. The TR is expected to have a general familiarity with
these references. Other sections of the qualification guides will
identify specific references that have direct application to a licensing
discipline. The TR is expected to demonstrate detailed knowledge of the
licensing discipline-specific references.

To support the review of upper-tier documents, programs, and policies,
the TR\'s First Line Supervisor may assign one or more specific non-HLW
waste facilities and/or disposal sites as reference facilities. The
selection of a reference facility is intended to provide the TR\'s
management with the ability to tailor the qualification process to the
experience and training level of the TR, and to meet the needs of NRC.
The use of specific real-world material will reinforce the qualification
process.
