D. C. Cook has no Reactor Engineering-related OJT/TPE.  All such qualifications are via mentoring.

Reactor Engineers operate the MIDS.  We have not evaluated applying OJT/TPE to that qualification.

Reactor Engineers routinely change PPC constants with a peer check and in accordance with the IT procedure.  There is no qualification for that.

As part of implementing ACAD 98-004 Revision 2 our fleet training department has been evaluating Reactor Engineering tasks for use of OJT/TPE instead of mentoring to obtain qualifications. I have the following benchmarking questions:
 
·         Has any station formally required OJT/TPE to obtain Reactor Engineering qualifications?
o   If so, which tasks require OJT/TPE?
§  What was your reasoning for requiring OJT/TPE?
 
·         For stations with moveable incore systems, operated by Reactor Engineers, have you evaluated requiring OJT/TPE to become qualified?
o   If so, what was your reasoning for either requiring or not requiring OJT/TPE?
 
·         For stations that have Reactor Engineers who modify plant process computer constants, have you evaluated requiring OJT/TPE to become qualified?
o   If so, what was your reasoning for either requiring or not requiring OJT/TPE?
 
Any responses would be helpful.
 
Thanks,
Andy
