We are currently in the process of converting to the 15 RPTs qualifications. Normally we have a house technician perform Neutron surveys but we can qualify them per the JPM. The underwater survey meters that we have AMP 100/200 are not trains for us. So once shown and individual can us these meters.

Obviously proficiency using these types of instruments is required in order to perform Job Coverage (RPT-8) and/or High Risk Job Coverage (RPT-9). Does your plant use a process other than that described above to qualify contract RP technicians used during refueling outages? Please describe process if applicable. If not, how do you account for the need for contract RP technicians to perform pre-Dive underwater surveys or perform neutron surveys in support of dry fuel storage or power entries?
