| Title | Inaccurate Identification of an Open-Reference Initial Licensing Exam Question as Closed-Reference |
| Description | An NRC-identified non-cited violation of 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and Accuracy of Information, was identified for submitting a final written exam question to the NRC which was identified and approved as Closed Reference, but administered by the licensee as Open Reference by supplying the applicants with an unapproved Technical Specification. On evaluation, the NRC determined that it would not have approved the question had it been properly identified as openreference on submittal, because the reference made the question a direct lookup and the information in the reference was of a nature that licensed operators are expected to have memorized. No licensing decisions were affected and the facility licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report 4144197. The examiners evaluated this issue using the traditional enforcement process because the performance deficiency impacted the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. 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 ... cases of inaccurate or incomplete information inadvertently provided to the NRC that does [sic] not contribute to the NRC making an incorrect regulatory decision as a result of the originally submitted information or an unqualified individual performing the functions of an operator or senior operator... . The performance deficiency did not cause the NRC to make an incorrect regulatory decision because it did not affect the number of applicants who passed. There is no Cross-Cutting Aspect associated with this violation because it was processed using Traditional Enforcement. This violation is described in greater detail in section 4OA5.2.b of this report. |
