SUBJECT:
SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 and 2 - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION REPORT ER 05000272/2017301; 05000311/2017301
Dear Mr. Sena:
On December 16, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed examination report documents the examination results, which were discussed on January 25, 2017, with Bill Muffley, Operations Training Manager.
The examination included the evaluation of three applicants for reactor operator licenses and six applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses. The written and operating examinations were developed using NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 10. The license examiners determined that eight of the nine applicants satisfied the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55, and the appropriate licenses were issued on January 25, 2017.
One applicant for an instant senior reactor operator failed the operating portion of the exam and was denied a license.
No findings were identified during this examination.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs Agencywide Documents Access Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/

Units 1 and 2; Initial Operator Licensing Examination Report Four NRC examiners evaluated the competency of three applicants for reactor operator licenses and six applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses at Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The facility licensee developed the examinations using NUREG-1021,
Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Revision 10. The written examination was administered by the facility on December 19, 2016. NRC examiners administered the operating tests on December 12-16, 2017.

REPORT DETAILS
OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA5 Other Activities Initial Operator License Examination
.1 License Applications
a. Scope
The examiners reviewed all nine license applications submitted by the licensee to ensure the applications reflected that each applicant satisfied relevant license eligibility requirements. The applications were submitted on NRC Form 398, Personal Qualification Statement, and NRC Form 396, Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee. The examiners also audited two of the license applications in detail to confirm that they accurately reflected the subject applicants qualifications. This audit focused on the applicants experience and on-the-job training, including control manipulations that provided significant reactivity changes.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Examination Scope
On December 19, 2016, the licensee proctored the administration of the written examinations to all nine applicants. The licensee staff graded the written examinations, analyzed the results, and presented their analysis to the NRC on December 21, 2016.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to all nine applicants on December 12-16, 2016. The three applicants for reactor operator licenses participated in three dynamic simulator scenarios, in a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of eleven system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of four administrative tasks. The six applicants seeking an instant senior reactor operator license participated in three dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of ten system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks.
b. Findings
Eight of the nine applicants passed all parts of the operating test. One instant senior reactor operator applicant failed the simulator examination. For the written examinations, the reactor operator applicants average score was 88.88 percent and ranged from 84 to 94.66 percent, the senior operator applicants average score was 90 percent and ranged from 85 to 94 percent. The overall written examination average was 89.63 percent. The text of the examination questions, the licensees examination analysis, and the licensees post-examination comments may be accessed in the ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in Attachment 1.
The NRC examiners completed the final grading of the written examination on January 24, 2017, and conducted a review of each missed question to determine the accuracy and validity of the examination questions. In accordance with current NRC policy, the release of this examination will be delayed for two years. The text of the examination questions, the licensees examination analysis, and the licensees post-examination comments may be accessed in the ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in the attachment.
Chapter ES-403 and Form ES-403-1 of NUREG 1021 require the licensee to analyze the validity of any written examination questions that were missed by half or more of the applicants. The licensee conducted this performance analysis for all questions that met these criteria and submitted the analysis to the chief examiner. No post-examination comments were submitted.
.3 Initial Licensing Examination Development
a. Examination Scope
The facility licensee developed the examinations in accordance with NUREG-1021, Revision 10. All licensee facility training and operations staff involved in examination preparation and validation were listed on a security agreement. The facility licensee submitted both the written and operating examination outlines on September 12, 2016.
The chief examiner reviewed the outlines against the requirements of NUREG-1021, and provided comments to the licensee. The facility licensee submitted the draft examination package on October 12, 2016.
