CFR Title: 

Content:
C issued a rule, 10 CFR 50.120, establishing mandatory requirements for the training and qualification of nuclear power plant personnel. Each licensee or applicant for a license was required to ensure that personnel listed in 10 CFR 50.120(b)(1), regardless of whether they are employees or contractor personnel, have qualifications commensurate with the performance requirements of the jobs to which they are assigned. The rule requires that each licensee or applicant provide training to selected categories of personnel using a systems approach to training. This rule superseded the above mentioned Policy Statement on training and qualifications. • On April 23, 1993, ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993, “Selection, Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 16), was issued. This standard reflects actions of the NRC and industry since 1987, including the requirement to use the systems approach to training process to establish and maintain training programs for certain positions. In addition, this standard does not allow credit for simulator and classroom training to substitute for an operator's nuclear power plant experience; a compensating change has been made to the experience requirements. • Draft Regulatory Guide (DG) DG-1012, the proposed Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.8, was published for public comment in September 1996 (Ref. 17). • DG-1084, the second proposed Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.8, was published for public comment in March 1999 (Ref. 18). DG-1084 reflected modifications made to DG-1012 following the first public comment period. Some regulatory positions remained unchanged from DG-1012, some were modified, and some were developed following the publication of DG-1012 for public comment. • Revision 3 of RG 1.8, “Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 19), reflected further modifications made as a result of staff regulatory positions and the resolution of public comments. • On November 20,
