| Title | Failure to Maintain Licensed Operator Examination Integrity |
| Description | The inspectors identified an NCV of 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests, for the failure of the licensee to ensure that the integrity of an operating test administered to licensed operators was maintained. During the annual operating exam, 19of the Unit 2 licensed operators received more than two of five job performance measures(JPMs) (>50 percent) for their operating tests that had been administered to other licensed operators in previous weeks of the same exam cycle. This failure resulted in a compromise of examination integrity because it exceeded the Dominion Nuclear Fleet Procedure TR-AA-730, "Licensed Operator Biennial and Annual Operating Requalification Exam Process,4 Revision 9, requirement to repeat less than or equal to 50 percent of the JPMs during the exam cycle. However, this compromise did not lead to an actual effect on the equitable and consistent administration of the examination. This issue was entered into Dominions CAP as CR1056308.The failure of Dominions training staff to maintain the integrity of examinations administered to licensed operations personnel was a performance deficiency. The performance deficiency was more than minor, and therefore a finding, because if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency could have become more significant in that allowing licensed operators to return to the control room without valid demonstration of appropriate knowledge on the biennial examinations could be a precursor to a more significant event. Using IMC 0609, Significance Determination Process, and the corresponding Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance (Green) because although the finding resulted in a compromise of the integrity of operating test JPMs and compensatory actions were not immediately taken when the compromise should have been discovered in 2016, the equitable and consistent administration of the test was not actually impacted by this compromise. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance associated with Field Presence, because the licensee failed to ensure that deviations from standards and expectations are corrected promptly such that the 50 percent maximum limit on repeated JPMs was not exceeded. Specifically, Dominion supervisory review and approval of the original examination plan and subsequent changes to that plan could have discovered the deviation from standards and expectations.
