02/09/2010 03:16 Subject PM [Pwrrm] FW: Question on RxE Oral Boards
Please respond to PWR Reactivity Management <pwrrm@retaqs.com >
Qualification questionnaire. Sorry for the potential duplications…
1. Is there a requirement to have an oral board prior to becoming a QRxe?
2. If an oral board is required, is the oral board objective or subjective in nature?
Sidebar: WBN and SQN are trying to implement a oral board qualification process for the final certification of PWR RxE’s. Currently, we both have task oriented qualification cards. The intent of the final oral board is to verify that the QRxE candidate is well versed in the important RxE topics and able to work independently(and able to advise Operations in the control room). At WBN, the QRxE oral board was originally a remnant of STA qualification process (all RxE’s were STA’s in the Operations). The QRxE oral board was removed in 2005 due to training concerns that it was too subjective and could cause potential legal ramifications.
3. If an oral board is required, is there a monetary reward for passing the board or maintaining qualified status?
4. What happens when the QRxE candidate does not pass the oral board (is there formal remediation and eventually another oral board, can the QRxE candidate still be qualified as a RxE, etc.).
Thanks in advance for your responses,
C. Dale Greer TVA WBN RxE Manager Office :423-365-3834_______________________________________________ PWRRM mailing list PWRRM@retaqs.com http://www.keffective.com/mailman/listinfo/pwrrm
