| Title | Failure to Maintain Initial Operator Licensing Examination Integrity |
| Description | The examination team identified a Severity Level IV, non-cited Violation (NCV), of Title 10 CFR Part 55.49, Integrity of Examination and Tests. Specifically, the licensee failed to ensure that Door 143, Entrance to Simulator Instructor Booth, remained closed/latched upon personnel exiting the simulator. This resulted in the failure to ensure examination security requirements were met as required by procedures TDP-ZZ-00019, NRC License Examination Security and Integrity, Revision 019, and TDP-ZZ-00019, Appendix A, Simulator Security Guidelines, Revision 027. The examination compromise existed because personnel not signed onto the examination security agreement could have gained access to the simulator where examination materials were in plain view. Therefore, unauthorized personnel could have gained knowledge of initial license examination materials during the conduct of the operating test portion of the initial license examination. The failure to ensure the requirements of procedures TDP-ZZ-00019 and TDP-ZZ-00019, Appendix A, were met resulted in the failure to establish proper examination security. Failure to meet the requirements of approved examination security procedures is a performance deficiency. This performance deficiency was determined to be Severity Level IV because it fits the SL-IV example of Enforcement Policy Section 6.4.d, Violation Examples: Licensed Reactor Operators. This section states, Severity Level IV violations involve, for example: a non-willful compromise ... of an application, test, or examination required by 10 CFR Part 55. The performance deficiency could have impacted the regulatory process if licensing decisions were made with applicants having prior knowledge of examination materials. However, since the simulator door was only unlatched for a short period of time and all applicants were sequestered under the supervision of licensee examination team personnel, it is deemed that there was no actual effect on the equitable and consistent administration of the exam as a result of the compromise. This is a violation of 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examination and Tests. There are no cross-cutting aspects assigned to traditional enforcement violations. |
