NRR OFFICE INSTRUCTION ADM-507

“Grow Your Own” PRA Analyst Training Qualification Program

1. POLICY

It is the policy of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) that all employees have a training plan which facilitates gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to perform effectively in their jobs. This Office Instruction (OI) provides guidance for the creation of training plans for PRA analysts who join NRR under the “Grow Your Own PRA Analysts” program.

2. OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Office Instruction (OI) is to prepare a comprehensive hands-on training qualification program for newly selected personnel to the “Grow Your Own” (GYO) Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) analyst training qualification program. Since candidates selected to the GYO PRA Analyst training qualification program are not required to have extensive PRA analyses experience, this program will require additional training beyond the existing Appendix M of ADM 504, “Qualification for Reliability and Risk Analysts”. This OI both defines knowledge standards to facilitate a trainee’s understanding of expectations to perform his or her job and outlines a comprehensive training program enabling that individual to meet those standards. Utilization of this OI provides guidance for an individual to obtain and transfer knowledge necessary to perform the technical duties assigned to a Reliability and Risk Analyst within NRR. This OI promotes consistency in the qualification process for staff members pursuing the analyst position. Successful completion of the training program results in issuance of analyst certification and, for grade level GG-13 candidates, a promotion to grade level GG-14 with the title of Reliability and Risk Analyst.

3. BACKGROUND

NRR values the contribution which all of its staff makes to support the NRC mission to protect public health, safety, and the environment. As an expression of that value, NRR emphasizes training for employees to foster their ability to execute this mission. Recruitment, development, and retention of Reliability and Risk Analyst staff has long been a challenge at NRC due to the limited national pool of expertise, lengthy training periods to develop staff, and extensive competition, both within and outside the NRC, for experienced analysts. To address this challenge, a multi office recruitment and training effort, with NRO, RES, and NMSS, has been started with NRR taking the lead in its pilot implementation. The goal is to “Grow Your Own” PRA analysts by providing candidates to the program with the necessary basic training and experience to become, after satisfactory completion of the required training, reliability and risk analysts.

NRR Office Instruction ADM-507 Page 2 of 9

4. BASIC REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Introduction:

The GYO PRA analyst training and qualification program is an advanced study leading to certification as a grade level GG-14 Reliability and Risk Analyst. This is a competitive program for selected candidates to be transferred and assigned to positions in a PRA technical branch (home branch). In addition to work assignments, individuals selected into this program must successfully complete the formal classroom training courses, learning projects, the individual study activities (ISAs), the on-the-job training activities (OJTs), and the required rotations prior to certification. Some of these activities can be exempted by the home branch chief based on the applicant's prior experience or training. Documentation of such exemptions must be provided by the home branch chief in writing, and should be maintained in the individual's personnel folder. This training program consists of two components, a core program and an Office specific program. The core training program is described in Enclosure 2 and is supplemented by the office-specific training in Appendix A of this Office Instruction for candidates working in NRR. In addition to periodic evaluation of completed training activities, the candidate must pass a PRA analyst qualification board upon satisfactory completion of all the required program elements. The purpose of the board is to verify that the qualifying individual has gained an acceptable level of knowledge and experience to be certified as a grade level GG-14 Reliability & Risk Analyst. It is desirable, but not mandatory, for individuals entering the program at grade level GG-13 (Series 0801, 0840, or 1301) to have commercial nuclear power plant system, inspection, or operation experience. Being selected to participate in the PRA analyst training and qualification program involves a requirement to complete the program and be qualified in approximately three years. During this period, the candidate will complete a combination of formal training and learning projects with specific on-the-job training (OJT) in development and application of various areas involving PRA techniques within the NRC. Some of these activities could include possible assignment of work on a full scope level three PRA or other areas of PRA specialty. The period of three years was selected to mature the candidate into a Reliability and Risk Analyst functioning at the GG-14 grade level. The position description of the candidates explicitly identifies the requirement of the candidates to complete PRA training. During the training period, achievements in the area acquiring PRA training skills will be a key component of the candidate’s performance rating. To that extent, the home branch chief will use feedback provided by the candidate’s technical mentor and/or the rotational branch chief during periodic evaluations. For GG-13 candidates who enter the program, failure to meet a Fully Successful (FS) rating in performance standards may result in removal from the program. Consequently, such candidates will not be promoted to GG-14 positions. After satisfactorily completing the training program by meeting all the requirements,


and with PRA analyst qualification board approval, the candidate will be promoted to grade level GG-14 in the candidate’s home branch. During the period of training the candidate will not be granted rotational assignments or lateral assignments outside of the qualification program without approval of division management (see Equivalency below).

4.2 Prerequisites:

1) It is desired but not mandatory that candidates have sufficient experience and training to ensure success in the qualification program. Having this experience will not burden the candidate with additional training outside the program and will allow successful and timely completion of PRA training. The individual should possess experience in one of the following example areas, or their equivalent: • Qualification as a basic reactor inspector and work as a site resident

inspector. • Completion of either PWR or BWR technology full series or equivalent

and technical experience in a nuclear power technical branch. • Significant experience gained by working in a technical systems,

design, or operations position at a nuclear utility licensee, vendor, or architectural/engineering firm.

2) This program is not a substitute for NRR’s Reactor Technical Reviewer

program. A candidate must complete the Reactor Technical Reviewer qualification board to be retained in the PRA analyst training and qualification program.

4.3 Rotational Assignments:

During the training qualification period, the candidate may be required to go on rotational assignments in branches outside of the home branch, division, or program office. These rotations will be tailored based on the candidate’s home branch areas of interest, and experience. For example, if a candidate enters the program after having significant reactor experience based on their prior employment at a region or a licensee, they will not be required to perform a rotation at a region. It is expected that the home branch chief will develop the rotation schedule with the rotation branch chief, and with appropriate management approval. Unless exempted, the candidate is expected to attend all assigned classroom training, even while on rotation. Also, a different set of goals, expectations and standards will be developed for the candidate while on rotation. It is encouraged but not mandatory for the rotational branch chief (or designee) to meet periodically with the home branch chief on candidate progress and on completion of the rotation.


4.4 Exemption and Equivalency Justification:

Program requirements, including the rotation, individual study activities, formal course work, and on-the-job training activities are assessed on a case-by-case basis. When approving an equivalency justification, careful consideration will be given to the length of time that has passed since the individual has previously completed the training or the experience gained from previous work history. Equivalencies will be approved and documented by the candidate’s home branch chief and division management. The GYO PRA analyst program is primarily intended to train approved GG-13 and GG-14 candidates. However, given class size and branch needs, elements of the program may be made available for non-GYO PRA branch staff members to participate in. The extent of participation will be at the discretion of the branch chief and will also rely on available resources. The following table provides an overview for the various types of new staff members and expectations.

4.5 Training Qualification Program Organization:

The basic training program parallels the requirements of the existing training qualification plans developed for Risk and Reliability Analysts as documented in NRR Office Instruction ADM-504, Appendix M, “Reliability and Risk Analyst”. It is expected that candidates in this GYO PRA Analyst program must fulfill all these existing requirements with additional specific rotation activities, a learning project,


and certain activities borrowed from the Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA) qualification plan of Inspection Manual Chapter IMC-1245, Appendix C9, “Senior Reactor Analyst Training Qualification Program”. Details of the training requirements are outlined in Appendix A of Enclosure 3 of this OI.

4.6 Review of Completed Training:

Upon completion of each individual training, study, or rotational assignment, the candidate will meet to discuss the results with the branch chief and associated technical mentor. Approval of each completed training activity will come from the branch chief. If the branch chief decides that the candidate has not satisfactorily completed the specific training activity, a remedial course of action may be developed for the candidate at the discretion of the branch chief. Examples of remedial action can include but, are not limited to, re-assignment of Independent Training Activities, additional classroom training, or additional work assignments.

4.7 Documentation:

Documentation of completed training is recorded on the Activity Sign-off Sheet. Equivalency justification for formal training courses, individual study activities, and on-the-job activities are recorded on the Equivalency Justification Form. Candidates are required to maintain records of specific tasks (e.g., completion of a Phase 3 analysis) performed that are required by the ISAs or OJTs. This documentation is required when the individual is preparing to go before the qualification board. Documentation will be incorporated in iLearn.

4.8 Reliability and Risk Analyst Certificate:

At the successful completion of the candidate’s board, the qualification board chairman will submit a memorandum to the Director of the home program office to notify senior management of the candidate’s accomplishment. A formal certificate will be prepared for the qualifying Reliability and Risk Analyst to be signed by the Director of the home program office. In addition, the Office of Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) must be notified to make permanent the analyst’s promotion to GG-14.

4.9 Grievances:

Grievances in the program will be addressed pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the National Treasury Employees Union.


5. RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITIES

During the course of the training qualification program, the candidate will interface regularly with the assigned technical mentors, the branch chiefs of the home and rotational branches, and the home division management.

The Technical Mentor:

For each training module, a technical mentor, who is a subject matter expert in a particular relevant area (or multiple areas), will be assigned to work with the candidate. Assignment will be made by the branch chief, with approval of associated division management, and may span more than one training module. The responsibilities of the technical mentor are:

• Provide technical guidance to the candidate on completion of the training

module. • Assess progress made by the candidate and report this progress to the

associated branch chief. • Help prepare the candidate for any required qualification boards.

During the course of the program, a candidate may have several technical mentors.

The Home and Rotation Branch Chief:

The home branch chief is the candidate’s hiring branch chief and will serve as the candidate’s front-line administrative supervisor during and after the entire training qualification process. In addition to the administrative functions, the home branch chief will oversee the approval of the overall training qualification program for the candidate. When on rotation, the rotation branch chief will serve as a temporary technical supervisor. It is encouraged that rotational and home branch chiefs communicate regularly on the candidate’s progress. The branch chief will meet with the candidate upon completion of each training, study, or rotational activity in order to decide on approval of satisfactory completion of that activity. Feedback from the respective technical mentors, training personnel, and/or rotational branch chief will be considered. Upon completion of the program, the analyst will be assigned to the home branch.


The Home Division Management:

The home division management consists of the division director and deputy director(s). The home division management in consultation with the branch chief will organize the qualification boards for candidate, make training determinations on equivalency, address grievances in consultation with OCHCO, and approve certification of the candidate upon satisfactory completion of the program. The division director can delegate these functions separately to the deputy director, or other designee.

PRA Analyst Qualification Board:

The PRA Analyst qualification board will consist of a minimum of three members, two of which will be currently qualified and active Senior Level Advisors, GG-15 senior reliability and risk analysts, branch chiefs with PRA background, or SRAs. The role of the board is to certify that the candidate meets the minimum requirement of a reliability and risk analyst and has satisfied the expectations of this training qualification program. The board chairman will be an SES manager, appointed by the home division director (or designee), who is responsible to select board members. The home branch chief will schedule the board meeting. Whenever practical, the individual’s home branch chief is encouraged to observe the board proceedings. Once members have been selected, the candidate shall submit a package to the PRA analyst qualification board for review, consisting of documentation of completed work and approvals made during the training qualification program. The purpose of this review is to inform the board of the extent and depth of the analytical work the candidate has performed and to provide the board with the opportunity to explore the benefits gained from those activities. Upon review of the completed work, the board chairman may provide specific direction to the candidate of any additional actions which may be needed to prepare for the board appearance. This may include successful passing of a written exam. The candidate will meet with the board who will then ask questions on various aspects of the program. Upon completion, the board chairman will initiate a memorandum to the candidate’s home division management and HR informing them of the results. In the event a candidate is determined by the board to lack knowledge in a particular area(s), at the board chairman’s discretion, a remedial strategy can be used to address the area(s) of concern.

The Candidate:

The candidate is responsible for scheduling, maintaining records, and on-time completion of all training activities. It is the expectation that the candidate will work continually with the technical mentors and branch chiefs to ensure that required training activities are scheduled and satisfactorily completed. It is the responsibility of the candidate to communicate any encountered difficulty with management and to pursue resolution.


6. PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Expectations and Outcomes: The candidate shall complete the training qualification program in no longer than three years. Based on extenuating circumstances or need, the home branch chief will determine if additional time is warranted beyond the three year period for the candidate to be qualified. Upon completion of the program, the minimum goal is for the candidate to have the following basic competencies:

• Model specific detailed plant system behavior and operator actions in response to a series of initiating events based on review of engineering design documentation, drawings, procedures, and calculations.

• Collect, evaluate, and integrate operating data into risk model basic events. • Perform various statistical methods such as Bayesian analysis, common cause

failure, and uncertainty. • Perform human reliability analysis. • Perform quantification of detailed models using several techniques and to be

able to trace-back contributors to risk. • Modeling and understanding of the special requirements needed for all operating

modes and external events, e.g., shutdown, low power, fire, seismic, flooding, severe weather, and other hazards.

• Demonstrate understanding of severe accident phenomena and radionuclide release as they relate to PRA.

• Demonstrate proficiency in PRA software used by the NRC with understanding of licensee’s software and results.

• Evaluate risk-informed applications on how they relate to risk models. • Demonstrate a working knowledge of the various risk-informed initiatives that

have been undertaken at the NRC and in industry.
