Inspection Scope
Members of the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant staff developed the administrative operating retake examination. All examination material was developed in accordance with the guidelines contained in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC chief examiner reviewed the proposed examination. Examination changes agreed upon between the NRC and the licensee were made per NUREG-1021 and incorporated into the final version of the examination materials.
The NRC reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing and administering the examinations in order to ensure compliance with 10 CFR §55.49, Integrity of examinations and tests. A near miss examination security event occurred when the licensee left the door to the examination room unlocked on Tuesday, March 1, 2011, for approximately five minutes. Because the examination room was equipped with locked fireproof cabinets that contained the examination copies and the electronic copies were located on secure computers that had not been turned on for the day, there was reasonable assurance that the examination had not been compromised. The licensee documented this event in A/R Number 01625010.
The NRC examiner evaluated the Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicant using the guidelines contained in NUREG-1021. The examiner administered the administrative operating retake examination on March 4, 2011. Evaluations of the applicant and reviews of associated documentation were performed to determine if the applicant, who applied for licenses to operate the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, met the requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 55, Operators Licenses.
b.
Findings
No findings were identified. The NRC determined, using NUREG-1021 that the licensees initial examination submittal was within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination.
The single SRO applicant passed the administrative JPM operating test retake examination. The remaining portions of the examination were waived.
