RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF SHIFT MANAGER / CERTIFIED FUEL HANDLER
TRAINING PROGRAM
By letter dated June 17, 2013 (Reference 1), Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (DEK),requested approval of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Shift Manager I CertifiedFuel Handler (CFH) Training Program. As stated in that letter, approval of the KPSCFH Training Program is needed to facilitate activities associated with decommissioningand irradiated fuel management as documented in DEK's Post-ShutdownDecommissioning Activities Report and Updated Irradiated Fuel Management Plan.
Subsequently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transmitted a request foradditional information (RAI) regarding the CFH Training Program (Reference 2). TheRAI questions and associated DEK response are provided below.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-001
When fully implemented, will the Kewaunee CFH training program meet the guidelinesof Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 3, "Qualification and Training of Personnel forNuclear Power Plants" that are relevant to a defueled nuclear power plant?
Response:
When fully implemented, the KPS CFH training program will meet the qualificationrequirements provided in KPS TS 5.3.1 (as approved by NRC in Amendment 207).KPS is not committed to Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 3. Rather, TS 5.3.1 requiresthat each member of the facility staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications ofANSI N18.1-1971, except for the radiation protection manager, who shall meet orexceed the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 1-R, September 1975.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-002
In Sections 5.1 of the submittal, the licensee refers to a document, "TR-KW-101,Conduct of Training", for a listing of responsibilities. Sections 4.1 "Definitions", 6.3.5.d.1"written examinations", 6.7.1 "exemptions", and 6.8.1 "remediation" also make the samereference. Submit the current revision of the document," TR-KW-101, "Conduct ofTraining".
Response:
The current revision of Procedure, TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training," is provided asEnclosure 1 to this letter. This procedure describes the process for administering and
Serial No. 13-278AAttachment 1

maintaining the training programs at KPS, including the Shift Manager / Certified FuelHandler Program.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsk¥-003
In Section 1.4.3, the licensee concludes that "This program satisfies all requirements forthe Certified Fuel Handler Training Program (also referred to as the CFH)". Thisstatement provides no practical information. The licensee should submit a table with allof the current CFH training requirements, the source document for each requirement,and a description of how the requirement is satisfied by the proposed program. Such atable will reflect how the requirements are satisfied so that, in the future, personnel willknow whether a certain aspect of CFH training must be retained or may be deleted.This table will also be more useful and less misleading if, in the future, requirements areadded or changed by the NRC.
Response:
Procedure TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training" (discussed in the previous question),references use of 10 CFR 50.120, "Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power PlantPersonnel," which requires a systems approach to training. The table below containsthe current CFH training requirements, the source document for each requirement, anda description of how the requirement is satisfied by the proposed program. The term"TPG" refers to the Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Training Program Guide.Documentation of training, evaluation, and qualification activities are controlled via theShift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Qualification Manual.

NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-004
Although the cover letter of the June 17, 2013 submittal states that its CFH trainingprogram aligns with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.120, the program description doesnot include some of the fundamental elements of a Systems Approach to Trainingrequired by 10 CFR 50.120 as defined in 10 CFR 55.4. These elements were listed inthe cover letter but, except for trainee evaluation, were not included in the actualsubmittal. As stated in the licensee's cover letter: "The five key elements of theprogram are: (1) analysis of job performance requirements and training needs, (2)derivation of learning objectives based on the preceding analysis, (3) design andimplementation of the training program based upon learning objectives, (4) trainee
Serial No. 13-278AAttachment 1
Page 4 of 6
evaluation, and (5) program evaluation and revision." Clarify this discrepancy by
describing how the CFH program implements all five elements of SAT.
Response:
The KPS Certified Fuel Handler Program was developed using the systems approach totraining discussed in 10 CFR 50.120, "Training and qualification of nuclear power plantpersonnel."
The program was developed by Training and Operations personnel using an approvedtask list and creating a task training work matrix. The task training work matrix wasused to determine the initial and continuing training required for each task based on theDifficulty, Importance, Frequency (DIF) process (analysis), which determines if initialand continuing training are required. Learning objectives were determined from the tasklist based on the required knowledge and skills for each task (derivation of learningobjectives). The training materials (lesson plans/exams) and the Shift Manager /Certified Fuel Handler Qualification Manual were then developed from the learningobjectives (design of the training program). The Shift Manager / Certified Fuel HandlerTraining Program Guide was issued, which established the program (implementation ofthe training program). KPS Procedure TR-KW-101, "Conduct of Training," ensures thatthe systems approach to training is used for trainee evaluation and for maintaining andevaluating the Shift Manager / Certified Fuel Handler Program, including an annualreview of the program which is documented and reported to senior management(program evaluation and revision).
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-005
Section 5.3.2 requires that the CFH training program be maintained. Who manages theCFH training program? Will that person be a CFH or have equivalent qualifications?
Response:
The Manager Nuclear Operations is responsible for maintaining and implementing theCFH training program. The Manager Nuclear Operations assigns a DepartmentTraining Coordinator, who is typically a Certified Fuel Handler, to assist in theimplementation of the program.
The proposed TS 5.3.2 is identical to the requirement approved by NRC in the currentlyexisting TS 5.4.1 for Millstone 1.
Serial No. 13-278AAttachment 1
Page 5 of 6
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHIPB-Lapinsky-006
In Section 6.2.1, the licensee requires that Shift Managers complete the Plant Operator(PO) Training Program. Describe the PO training program or submit the procedure(s)that control it. Does this program have any relationship to 10 CFR 55, OperatorLicenses? Does the PO training use a Systems Approach to Training?
Response:
The Plant Operator Training Program is designed to train the Plant Operator on theknowledge and technical skills necessary to safely and efficiently monitor and controlthe operations of the KPS spent fuel pool and its support systems during normal andabnormal situations. The program was developed and is being maintained per theelements of the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) process. The program does nothave any relationship to 10 CFR 55, as it is not intended to provide individuals with anNRC operator license.
NRC Question MF2370-RAII-AHPB-Lapinsky-007
In its May 29, 2013 letter, Dominion Energy Kewaunee (DEK) submitted a licenseamendment request (LAR) (ADAMS Accession No. ML13156A037) proposing revisionsto its Technical Specifications (TSs). Proposed TS 5.2.2.d states that shift managerswill be CFH-trained. However, the note on page 5 of 23 of the CFH training programsubmitted to the NRC on June 13, 2013 allows personnel to be trained for the ShiftManager position only. Clarify which submittal is correct.
Response:
Both submittals are correct.
Proposed TS 5.2.2.d states that the Shift Manager shall be a CFH. To comply with thisrequirement, the Shift Manager who is used to satisfy the on-shift compliment for theShift Manager position must also be qualified as a CFH.
Although the note on page 5 of 23 of the CFH training program submitted to the NRC onJune 13, 2013 allows personnel to be trained for the Shift Manager position only, suchan individual could not be used to fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement. Only a ShiftManager qualified as a CFH could fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement. Shift Managerswho are not qualified as CFHs are used at KPS for other administrative functions thatare not required by TS. In effect, there are two classes of Shift Managers. Only thosewho are qualified as a CFH would be used to fulfill the TS 5.2.2.d requirement.
