| Title | Written NRC Biennial Written Examinations did not meet Qualitative Standards |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding of 10 CFR 55.59, Requalification, based on a determination that greater than 20 percent of the biennial requalification written exam questions administered to licensed operators during weeks three and four of the 2010 examination cycle were unacceptable. Entergy entered this issue into the corrective action program (CR-PNP-201 1 -04561). The inspectors determined that the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Human Performance attribute of the Mitigation Systems cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the finding affected the quality and level of difficulty of biennial written exams which potentially impacted Entergy\'s ability to appropriately evaluate licensed operators. The risk importance of this issue was evaluated using IMC 0609, Appendix l, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process (SDP). Appendix I was entered using the number of written exam questions that did not meet the qualitative standard for the written exam questions. The qualitative standard used by the inspectors is defined in NUREG-1021, Rev. 9, ES- 602, Attachment 1, Guidelines for Developing Open-Reference Examinations, and Appendix B, Written Examination Guidelines. Since 28.6 percent of the questions reviewed did not meet the guidance, Block 16 of Appendix I applied, specifically, Were more than 20 percent of the written questions sampled by the inspectors unacceptable? Based on this screening criteria, the finding was characterized by the SDP as having very low safety significance (greater than 20 percent unacceptable), or Green. A review of the cross-cutting aspects was performed and no cross-cutting aspect was identified that would be considered a contributor to the cause of the finding. |
