SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION REPORT 05000272 AND 05000311/2019301
Dear Mr. Sena:
On January 18, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. The enclosed examination report documents the examination results, which were discussed on February 12, 2019, with Mr. Glenn Marshall, Initial License Operator Training Group Lead, and others of your staff.
The examination included the evaluation of four applicants for reactor operator licenses and five 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 11. The license examiners determined that all of the applicants satisfied the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55, and the appropriate licenses were issued on February 12, 2019.
No findings were identified during this examination.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

SUMMARY
ER 05000272 and 05000311/2019301; 01/14/2019 - 01/18/2019; Salem Nuclear Generating
Station; Initial Operator Licensing Examination Report.
Four NRC examiners evaluated the competency of four reactor operator applicants and five applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses at the Salem Nuclear Generating Station.
The facility licensee developed the examinations using NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Revision 11. The NRC examiners administered the operating tests on January 14 - 18, 2019. The written examination was administered by the facility on January 22, 2019. The NRC examiners determined that all applicants satisfied the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55 and the appropriate licenses were issued on February 12, 2019.
No findings were identified.
REPORT DETAILS
OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
4OA5 Other Activities (Initial Operator License Examination)
.1 License Applications
a. Scope
The examiners reviewed the license applications submitted by the facility licensee to ensure that each applicant satisfied the 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 audit also focused on the applicants experience and control manipulations that provided significant reactivity changes.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Examination Scope
On January 22, 2019, 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 January 25, 2019.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to the applicants on January 14 - 18, 2019. The four applicants seeking a reactor operator license participated in three dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of 11 system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of four tasks. The five 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 tasks.
b. Findings
All of the applicants passed all parts of the examination. For the written examinations, the overall examination average score was 89.9 percent and ranged from 84.0 to 95.0 percent. The average scores for the reactor operator and senior reactor operator exams were 87.3 and 92.0 percent, respectively. The text of the examination questions and the operating test may be accessed in the ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in Attachment 1. In accordance with current NRC policy, the release of the examination material in ADAMS to the public will be delayed for approximately two years from the date of this report.
The NRC examiners completed the final grading of the written examination on January 31, 2019, and conducted a review of each missed question to determine the accuracy and validity of the examination questions. 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 four questions that met these criteria and submitted the analysis to the chief examiner. The licensee did not submit any post-examination comments.
.3 Initial Licensing Examination Development
a. Examination Scope
The facility licensee developed the examinations in accordance with NUREG-1021, Revision 11. All licensee facility training and operations staff involved in examination preparation and validation were listed on a security agreement. The NRC provided the facility licensee with the written exam outline on May 3, 2018. The facility licensee submitted operating examination outlines on July 24, 2018. 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 November 7, 2018. The chief examiner reviewed the draft examination package against the requirements of NUREG-1021, and provided comments to the licensee. The NRC conducted an onsite validation of the operating examinations and provided further comments during the week of November 26, 2018. The licensee satisfactorily completed comment resolution for the operating test on December 14, 2018, and completed resolution of the written examination comments on January 4, 2019.
b. Findings
The NRC approved the initial examination outline and advised the licensee to proceed with the operating examination development.
The examiners determined that the written and operating examinations initially submitted by the licensee were within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination.
No findings were identified.
.4 Simulation Facility Performance
a. Examination Scope
The examiners observed simulator performance with regard to plant fidelity during the examination validation and administration weeks.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.5 Examination Security
a. Examination Scope

Plans for simulator security and applicant control were reviewed and discussed with licensee personnel.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, Including Exit
