- 41 - Operating personnel training and qualification The personnel training and qualification aspect is on the whole satisfactory. Nonetheless, qualification monitoring is not always carried out in the Cattenom and Cruas NPPs. Flamanville NPP has no provision for the refresher courses necessary for maintaining severe accident management skills. The Golfech and Fessenheim sites need to implement a tool for rigorous monitoring of training and the qualification summary forms. The Tricastin NPP needs to modify its organisation in order to clarify the options chosen for handling a non-validated evaluation. Equipment necessary for accident management On the whole, management of the equipment necessary for dealing with an accident situation could be improved in all the NPPs. The requirements of EDF internal directive n°115 concerning management of mobile safety equipment and mobile PUI equipment are in fact neither adopted by nor applied by a majority of the sites:  management of the equipment maintenance tests needs to be improved on several sites: Blayais, Paluel, Cattenom, Gravelines, Bugey, Fessenheim, Saint-Laurent and Saint-Alban;  the equipment is not stored in the place described in the documents or it is situated in a place liable to suffer from an on-site or off-site hazard, particularly on the following sites: Saint-Alban, Gravelines, Nogent or Flamanville;  incorrect intervention order references in the Tricastin local technical procedure, owing to the transfer of management of certain equipment items between departments on the site;  unplanned equipment handling at Flamanville or handling using an outside contractor at Tricastin, with concerns over the ability of the contractor's staff to modify the I&C of an elevator and thus enable handling of a pump in an accident situation;  confusion in the local procedures between the time needed to prepare the equipment for use and the duration of use on the Dampierre, Gravelines, Tricastin and Blayais sites;  implementation time longer than that required in the operating rules, for replacement of the diaphragm by a ring on the containment atmosphere monitoring system (ETY) in the Cruas NPP. Integration of operating experience feedback (REX) by the site Integration of operating experience feedback (REX) is on the whole satisfactory for most of the sites. However, the Cattenom, Cruas and Tricastin NPPs will have to improve how they organise the collection of "operating experience feedback on application of the condition-based approach (APE)" following implementation of incident/accident instructions. The exercises and accident situation simulations took place on the whole satisfactorily. 2.5.3 Organisation put into place for the on-site emergency plan (PUI) General organisation The goal of this part is to check the organisation put into place on the sites to comply with the requirements of the PUI frame of reference. On the sites, a procedure must therefore specify the organisation put into place in accordance with the PUI and the roles and responsibilities of the PUI coordinator and the various managers involved in the PUI organisation must be formally stipulated. The EDF national frame of reference in particular state that the organisation be built around several individuals, that PUI modifications be approved by the hygiene, safety and working conditions Committee CHSCT and that a transverse organisation be put in place to guarantee the consistency of the measures to be taken by the various emergency management command posts. This latter point usually corresponds to regular site meetings of the PUI commissions (or committees). The sites presented their procedures stipulating the PUI organisation put into place. This procedure is complete and up-to-date with the exception of a few sites. Each site has a PUI coordinator, sometimes accompanied by a second person. However, the PUI coordinator does not always have a specific document defining his duties and responsibilities, this being in particular the case at Golfech. These are sometimes defined in the site's organisation memoranda. With the exception of a few sites, where the PUI organisation relies entirely on the PUI coordinator, there is a PUI network on each site, in which the PUI coordinator has activity field correspondents and a manager
