Content:
training provided, or to be provided, for reactor operators 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. 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 regula- tions 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 c.

Denton, NR'C, to All Power Reactor Applicants and Licensees, dated March 28, 1980. 2. Simulators used for training plant personnel should meet the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.149. I 3. Formal segments of the initial training program should be substantially completed when the preoperational test program begins, with the excep- tion 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 that applicable technical specification condi- tions with respect to the number of'licensed operators on shift crews can be met from the time of initial fuel loading of the first unit, 13.2.1-4 Rev. 0 - July 1981 with due allowance given for examination contingencies and the need to avoid planned overtime for supervisory personnel during the startup phase in order to meet technical specification conditions. 5.
