Disclaimer: I am not an IT professional, so my explanation comes with the caveat "as is my understanding" of how the systems works.
* All Duke Energy sites (6 operating: Brunswick, Catawba, Harris, McGuire, Oconee, Robinson, and 1 decommissioning: Crystal River) use the full Sentinel suite. We have Sentinel setup as an "enterprise" so it works as a fleet instead of independently by site. * We also have common fleet RWT and RWT requirements. I do not believe we have specific RWT requirements based on RWPs/Tasks. This means Sentinel looks for 1 training record for the whole Duke system. Sentinel will only allow RCA access if a worker has valid RWT or is flagged for RWT waiver. * Since Sentinel is not the "record keeper" for RWT, it pulls from a central "hub". This "hub" is a collection of worker data pulled from our HR, training, and other IT systems. * Sentinel pulls in the worker's HR data like address, Employee ID, employee type (e.g. permanent, contractor, etc.) and their training info. Sentinel simply reads the data, it does not analyze or manipulate it. However the HR and training systems push data to the hub, is how Sentinel gets it. * Therefore, I do not believe it would be a major impact to Sentinel to change the frequency of RWT requalification, or to split up the frequencies for permanent vs contractors, based on how IT has setup our systems. That effort would fall more on the training system. Hope this helps. Christopher Courtenay, P.E. Duke Energy Senior Nuclear Engineer * Fleet Scientific Services RP Technical Staff 526 S.
