| Title | Potential failure to properly reactivate RO/SRO licenses |
| Description | During the biennial requalification inspection, the inspectors identified that RO/SRO licenses were reactivated without following the guidance in Procedure OPDP-1, which required a plant tour with a licensed operator that included those areas covered by shift rounds. OPDP-1 implemented the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 55.53(f) which specifies that in order to activate an operator license, a complete tour of the plant shall be completed with a licensed operator. The inspectors compared the information contained in four reactivation records with vital area computer access records to verify the plant tours were performed as indicated. The inspectors identified that two operators had potentially not satisfied the requirements for conducting a complete plant tour as part of reactivating their RO or SRO license respectively. The licensee was not able to provide documentation, in the form of security card reader records, that would confirm that an RO performed his tour in the presence of an active RO or SRO licensed individual. Also, records supplied by the licensee showed that an SRO who was reactivating his license performed his tour with an SRO whose license was not currently active. 10 CFR 55.53(f), Conditions of a License, states, in part, that the licensee has completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the direction of an operator or senior operator as appropriate and in the position to which the individual will be assigned. The 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> must have included a complete tour of the plant and all required shift turnover procedures. To ensure 10 CFR 55.53 (f) requirements are satisfied, the licensee has established Procedure OPDP-1, Conduct of Operations Attachment P, which states, The licensee has completed a minimum of 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> of shift functions under the directions of an active RO or SRO and in the position to which the operator is to be assigned. The 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> must include a complete plant tour (with an active licensed operator) of the plant and a review of all required shift turnover procedures. This tour shall be in those areas covered by shift rounds. TS 5.7.1.1(a) requires written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978, Administrative Procedures. OPDP-1 is a written procedure that is required by TS 5.7.1.1(a). On August 18, 2006, the inspectors identified that the licensee potentially failed to properly reactivate two licensed operators on May 20, 2005, and January 21, 2006, in accordance with procedure OPDP-1. The licensee entered this issue into their CAP as PER 108957. This item is identified as URI 05000390/2006005-01, Potential failure to properly reactivate RO/SRO licenses, and is unresolved pending additional NRC review of the circumstances and information regarding the reactivation of these two licensed operators. |
