s that the applicant or licensee personnel perform first level maintenance, determining which sub-unit, such as an individual PC board, is failed, replacing that sub-unit, and then sending the unit to the vendor for repair. The vendor may offer training in the operation of the equipment, and with some site specific additional training, this may be sufficient for operation. Maintenance training is more complex, in particular software maintenance. Training provided by the vendor will typically show how to use the software tools used to generate original programs, but may not provide sufficient detail to allow software failure analysis and corrective actions. The applicant or licensee may, however, have a qualified engineering staff to be able to do software maintenance themselves. For these reasons, the reviewer should keep in mind the organization responsible for performing the operation and maintenance of the system, and who will be performing the training when determining the adequacy of the STrngP. One possible method of judging the quality of the training is for the reviewer to take the training. If the vendor offers training in design and operations of the equipment and time allows, it would be beneficial for the reviewer to take this training. This will not only allow the reviewer to assess the training, but will make the reviewer more familiar with the system and software tools, thereby making other review determinations easier.
