| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests, requires that facility licensees shall not engage in any activity that compromises the integrity of an examination. 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. Individuals with knowledge of the content of requalification exams are required to sign an exam security agreement based on NUREG 1021, Form ES-601-1, which reads, in part, I understand that I am not to instruct, evaluate, or provide performance feedback to those operators scheduled to be administered these examinations . . . . Contrary to the above, in June 2013, an individual who had developed questions for the upcoming biennial requalification written exam also developed weekly cycle exams which were administered to licensed operators. This was a violation of the exam security agreement, as developing exams is a form of evaluating operators. This item was entered into the licensees corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 201305585. Using NRC Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process, Phase 1 worksheets, and the corresponding Appendix I, Licensed Operator Requalification Significance Determination Process, the finding was determined to have very low safety significance because the potentially compromised questions were replaced before they were administered and, therefore, did not affect the equitable and consistent administration of the test. |
