Content:
examinations and operating experience indicate that emphasis is needed in the following subjects: (a) Theory and principles of operation. (b) General and specific plant operating characteristics. (c) Plant instrumentation and control systems. (d) Plant protection systems. (e) Engineered safety systems. (f) Normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures. 13.2.1-6 Draft Revision 4 – August 2014 (g) Radiation control and safety. (h) Technical specifications. (i) Applicable portions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Chapter 1. (ii) The requalification program must include on-the-job training so that each licensed operator of the facility manipulates the plant controls and each licensed senior operator either manipulates the controls or directs the activities of individuals during plant control manipulations during the term of the licensed operator's or senior operator's license. The control manipulations and plant evolutions will consist of the following control manipulations and plant evolutions: activities described in (a) through (l) below must be performed annually. The remaining control manipulations and plant evolutions ((m) through (aa)) must be performed on a two-year cycle. The requalification program must contain a commitment that each operator will perform or participate in a combination of reactivity-control manipulations based on the availability of plant equipment and systems. Those control manipulations and plant evolutions that are not performed on the actual plant may be performed on the plant-referenced simulator. The use of the technical specifications should be maximized during the simulator control manipulations. Senior operator licensees are credited with these activities if they directly control manipulations as they are performed. Control manipulations and plant evolutions to be performed: (a) Plant or reactor startups to include a range that reactivity feedback from nuclear heat addition is noticeable and heatup
