| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 CFR 55.49, stated, in part, that station personnel shall not engage in any activity that compromises the integrity of any application, test, or examination required by this part. The integrity of a test or examination is considered compromised if any activity, regardless of intent, affected, or, but for detection, would have affected the equitable and consistent administration of the test or examination. This included activities related to the preparation and certification of license applications and all activities related to the preparation, administration, and grading of the tests and examinations required by this part. Contrary to the above, during the administration of the NRC written exam, a copy of the approved answer key with a photograph of a panel was improperly used to identify which panel lights were lit for one question. This was done in reply to a question asked by an applicant during the exam. Inadvertently, the copy of the photograph of the panel with associated question distractors also included a check mark indicating the correct answer, which immediately compromised the question. The violation was of very low safety significance because the error was discovered shortly after the copies were distributed to the applicants, the NRC was immediately informed, and the compromised question was deleted from the examination. Additionally, after deleting the compromised question, the NRC determined that because the examinations question distribution still supported a wide and adequate variety of plant knowledge items, the examination was still considered to be a valid examination. Immediate actions taken by the licensees training department included entering this condition into the corrective action program as AR 1223729. The licensees training personnel were again briefed concerning examination security requirements and the need to comply with examination security procedures was stressed. |
