Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. Compliance with the relevant requirements of 10 CFR 50.54 items i through m requires the licensee to have licensed operators or senior operators present at the controls and responsible for manipulation of the controls or directing the licensed activities of other licensed operators, as appropriate.

Meeting these requirements provides assurance that only trained and qualified individuals will be licensed and assigned to carry out or direct operational activities, including manipulation of the controls and other activities affecting reactivity or power level. 2. Compliance with the relevant requirements of 10 CFR 55.4, 55.31, 55.41, 55.43, 55.45, 55.46, and 55.59 requires that the applicant for an operator's license and for requalification successfully complete written and operating examinations which demonstrate that the applicant possesses the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform licensed activities. 13.2.1-6 Revision 3 - March 2007 The reactor operator and senior reactor operator training programs, including initial and requalification training, established by the applicant provide the means to train individuals in the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform licensed operator duties.
