| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests, requires, in part, that the licensee shall not engage in activities that compromise the integrity of any application, test, or examination required by 10 CFR Part 55. Contrary to the above, on December 5, 2011, the licensee determined that the control room simulators plant process computer model was saving sequence of events files on a routine basis. The licensee determined that some of the files contained examination materials related to examinations required by 10 CFR Part 55. 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. Although the examination materials were compromised, the licensee was able to demonstrate that no unauthorized personnel gained access to the files containing examination material. Therefore, no individuals had an unfair advantage in taking any NRC-related examinations. This issue was documented in the facilitys CAP as CAP 1316195. Corrective actions for this issue included revising the simulators software to prevent unauthorized access to the sequence of events files being generated by the simulator. The inspectors determined that the failure to control sequence of event files generated by the facilitys simulator was a performance deficiency that required an SDP evaluation. The inspectors determined that this finding impacted the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and consulted IMC 0609 Appendix I to assess the impact of this issue on examination security. The inspectors concluded that an examination compromise had occurred and the facility had taken immediate compensatory actions to prevent recurrence of this condition. Based on circumstances described above and the licensees corrective actions, the inspectors concluded that this finding was of very low safety significance. |
