DIVISION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT INSPECTOR AND LICENSE REVIEWER

NRC INSPECTOR AND LICENSE REVIEWER QUALIFICATION JOURNAL

Applicability

This NRC Inspector and License Reviewer Qualification Journal implements NRC Manual Chapter 1248, which establishes the minimum training requirements for Division of Waste Management personnel assigned to perform safety inspections or license reviews for waste management activities. 

The NRC Inspector and License Reviewer Qualification Journal serves as a guideline for the development of a Divisional Qualification Journal and establishes the minimum training requirements consistent with NRC Manual Chapter 1248.  The Division Qualification Journal must provide traceable documentation to show that minimum requirements are met for each inspector.

The NRC Inspector and License 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 which 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 identify references with general application to the inspector's qualification.  The inspector and license reviewer is expected to have a general familiarity with these references.  Other sections of the qualification guides identify specific references that have direct application to an inspection or licensing discipline.  The inspector and license reviewer is expected to demonstrate detailed knowledge of the inspection or licensing discipline specific references.

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