rators and senior reactor operators will be adequate to provide assurance that all reactor operator qualification requirements including TMI Action items will be met as of the time needed, i.e., prior to operator license examinations, prior to fuel loading, or prior to appointment or reappointment to the position. 13.2.1-5 DRAFT Rev. 1 - April 1996 Criteria for acceptability as they relate to training for reactor operators and senior reactor operators are: 1. The training requirements and guidance set forth in the following regulations and regulatory guides should be met or acceptable alternatives should be presented. a. 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.54, items i through m. b. 10 CFR Part 55, Sections 55.21, 55.22, 55.23, and Appendix A 55.41, 55.43, 55.45, and 55.59.29 c. Regulatory Guide 1.8.30 d. NRC Operator Licensing Guide, NUREG-0094. e. TMI Action Plan Requirements items I.A.2.1, I.A.2.3, I.A.3.1, 31 32 and II.B.4 (NUREG-0737), and I.A.4.2 of NUREG-0718. Letter from H. R. 33 34 Denton, NRC, to All Power Reactor Applicants and Licensees, dated March 28, 1980. f. 10 CFR 55.45(b) and 10 CFR 50.34(f)(2)(i), which specify requirements related to the use and capability of simulation facilities.35 g. NUREG-0711, which provides guidance on the training program as part of the Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model.36 2. Simulators used for training plant personnel should meet the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.149. Additional information regarding evaluating simulation facilities is given in NUREG-1278.37 3. Formal segments of the initial training program should be substantially completed when the preoperational test program begins, with the exception of a brief, formal refresher just prior to operator examinations. 4. The number of persons for whom training is planned in preparation for senior operator and operator examinations prior to criticality should be sufficient to assure ensure that applicable technical specification conditions with respect to the
