The Form 2.3-5, the written examination outlines (Form 4.1-PWR Pressurized-Water Reactor Examination Outline and Form 4.1-COMMON Common Examination Outline), and both the proposed and final written examinations, will be available electronically in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) on May 1, 2025, (ADAMS Accession Numbers ML22007A051, ML22007A047, ML22007A046, and ML22007A049 respectively).
The NRC examiners graded the written examination on May 5, 2023, and conducted a review of each missed question to determine the accuracy and validity of the examination questions.
- (2) Operating Test The NRC examiners determined that the operating test, as originally proposed by the licensee, was within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination.
Less than 20 percent of the proposed operating test portion of the examination was determined to be unsatisfactory and required modification or replacement.
Changes made to the operating test portion of the examination, were made in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, and documented on Form 2.3-3, Operating Test Review Worksheet. The Form 2.3-3, the operating test outlines (Form 3.2-1 Administrative Topics Outline, Form 3.2-2 Control Room and In-Plant Systems Outline, and Form 3.3-1 Scenario Outlines), and both the proposed and final as administered dynamic simulator scenarios and JPMs, will be available electronically in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's ADAMS on May 1, 2025, (ADAMS Accession Numbers ML22007A051, ML22007A047, ML22007A046, and ML22007A049 respectively).
The NRC examiners completed operating test grading on May 17, 2023.
- (3) Examination Results Five applicants at the Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) level and four applicants at the Reactor Operator (RO) level were administered written examinations and operating tests. Nine applicants passed all portions of their examinations and were issued their respective operating licenses on May 22, 2023.
.2 Examination Security
a. Scope
The NRC examiners reviewed and observed the licensee's implementation of examination security requirements during the examination validation and administration to assure compliance with Title10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests. The examiners used the guidelines provided in NUREG 1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, to determine acceptability of the licensees examination security activities.
b. Findings
Two minor examination security-related issues were identified during operating test exam administration. In both instances, an applicant noted a simulator procedure contained place-keeping markups that had not been sanitized following the previous scenario administration. Upon identifying the markups, the applicants immediately closed the procedure and reported the discrepancy to their NRC examiner of record. The NRC staff determined that in both instances, the examination security-related issues did not affect the fair and equitable administration of the examination. Nor did they require the replacement of examination material.
4OA6 Meetings
.1 Debrief
The chief examiner presented the examination team's preliminary observations and findings on April 14, 2023, with Pat Boyle, Site Vice President and other members of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Operations and Training Department staff.
.2 Exit Meeting
The chief examiner conducted an exit meeting on May 18, 2023, with Pat Boyle, Site Vice President by telephone. The NRCs final disposition of the stations grading of the written examination and post-examination comments were disclosed and discussed during the telephone discussion. The chief examiner asked the licensee whether any of the retained submitted material used to develop or administer the examination should be considered proprietary. Proprietary or sensitive information identified during the examination or debrief/exit meetings will be handled in accordance with the applicable requirements.

The following documents observations made by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
examination team during the initial operator license examination. These observations do not
constitute audit or inspection findings and are not, without further verification and review,
indicative of non-compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 55.45(b).
These observations do not affect U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission certification or approval
of the simulation facility other than to provide information which may be used in future
evaluations. No licensee action is required in response to these observations.
During the conduct of the simulator portion of the operating tests, the following items were
observed:
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1. SWR 0138332 1. During a simulator scenario, the Rod Worth Minimizer touchscreen
locked-up preventing applicants of one crew from performing all
expected verifiable actions. The scenario was able to be
completed with no additional adverse effects due to the
uncompleted actions.
2. SWR 0138334 2. During simulator dynamic scenario testing, the #1 overhead
monitor which was typically aligned to display the Power-to-Flow
Map would sporadically blank out. All data necessary for the
applicants to analyze from the display remained adequately
available.
3. SWR 0138336 3. The 2A Reactor Recirculation Pump Adjustable Speed Drive
touchscreen went into sleep mode during a dynamic scenario
requiring the facility training staff to provide one applicant an
additional cue in order for the applicant to complete event
diagnosis.
4. SWR 0138337 4. The equipment part number for Main Steam Safety Valve 203-4H
was incorrectly listed as 204-4H on digital Temperature
Recorder TR-2-260-2A. This was identified by multiple applicants
while performing a simulator Job Performance Measure (JPM)
event. The applicants were cued by the NRC evaluator to continue
the JPM and that the incorrect information was being entered into
the corrective action program.
