Background The following is a chronology of industry and NRC actions regarding the qualification and training of personnel for nuclear power plants: • Subcommittee ANS-3, Reactor Operations, American Nuclear Society Standards Committee, developed a standard that contained criteria for the qualifications and training of nuclear power plant personnel. This standard was approved by the ANSI Committee N18, Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants, and designated ANSI N18.1-1971, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel" (Ref. 6). • RG 1.8, "Personnel Selection and Training" (Ref. 7), endorsed ANSI N18.1-1971, issued in March 1971. Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 1 (Ref. 8), was issued in September 1975. • In January 1978, a revision of ANSI N18.1-1971 was approved by the ANSI Board of Standards Review and issued as ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978, "Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel" (Ref. 9). • In December 1981, ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978 was updated to factor in lessons learned from the Three Mile Island (TMI) -2 event and changing regulatory requirements. ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 was reissued as ANSI/ANS-3.1-1981, "Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 10). • Revision 2 of RG 1.8, "Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 11), was issued in April 1987. This revision endorsed Sections 4.3.1.1, "Shift Supervisor," 4.3.1.2, "Senior Operator," 4.5.1.2, "Licensed Operators," 4.4.8, "Shift Technical Advisor," and 4.4.4, "Radiation Protection," of ANSI/ANS 3.1 1981. Acceptance for use of all other positions remained with ANSI N18.1 1971. • A revision of ANSI/ANS-3.1-1981 was issued on May 19, 1987, and designated ANSI/ANS-3.1-1987, "Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" (Ref. 12). The 1987 standard contained major revisions in content and format from the
