| Title | Failure to Maintain Operator Licensing Examination Integrity |
| Description | The inspectors reviewed a self-revealing, Severity Level IV non-cited violation of 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests, and an associated Green finding for the licensees failure to provide adequate examination security measures during administration of the 2015 biennial requalification examination. On May 26, 2015, a licensed operator was able to obtain plant computer information that led to the discovery of specific plant events contained on the NRC-required annual operating test. The licensee entered this issue into the corrective action program as Notification 50704195 and retested the crew with a new scenario. The failure of the licensee to provide adequate measures for examination security for the biennial requalification examinations was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because it adversely affected the human performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Attachment 4, Tables 1 and 2 worksheets (issue date June 19, 2012); and the corresponding Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process (SDP), Flowchart Block #10 (issue date December 6, 2011), the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green). Although the 2015 finding resulted in a compromise of the integrity of biennial dynamic simulator examinations had no compensatory actions been taken, the equitable and consistent administration of the biennial dynamic simulator examination was not actually affected by this compromise. The traditional enforcement violation was determined to be a Severity Level IV violation consistent with Section 6.4.d of the Enforcement Policy. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the resources component of the human performance cross-cutting area because the licensee failed to ensure the procedures are adequate to ensure nuclear safety [H.1]. |
