APPENDIX A

References have been provided for the lesson specifications. These references are generic in

nature and are given as recommended references for lesson preparation. The references

used may vary and should be modified as necessary to meet individual facility needs. Also,

references to operating experience should include selected industry operating experience and

facility-specific operating experience. Appropriate and more recent operating experience

should be incorporated into and normally replace the operating experience used in STA

training as it is updated over time.

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the training presented to STA trainees, suggested

evaluation activities have been provided in the outlines in this appendix. Performance checks

and other interactive evaluation methods should be considered. These could be both formal

and informal exchanges between the trainee and the instructor but should be documented.

The evaluation activity that is used for each specific lesson or group of lessons should be

based on the associated learning objectives and may be achieved concurrently with the

training activities. Evaluations should be focused on the trainee's understanding of the

underlying principles associated with each learning objective and the internalization of the

material.

The lesson specifications described above for the initial training program are presented on the

following pages. A brief table-of-contents page has been prepared to facilitate determining the

location of each lesson. The lesson specifications are divided into lesson modules. The

terminal learning objectives are numbered consecutively from module to module. The lesson

modules are represented in the following format:

OE-- Operating Experience

AN-- Analytical Process

OB-- Observation skills

SA-- Safety

AD-- Administrative Procedures

TE-- Technical (plant design bases)

EP-- Emergency Plans

AC-- Accident Assessment.
