SUBJECT:
JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC EXAMINATION REPORT 05000333/2010301
Dear Mr. Dietrich:
On June 11, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an examination at your James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick). The enclosed report documents the examination findings, which were discussed on June 11, 2010, with Mr. Joseph Barnes, Training Director, and other members of your staff.
The examination included the evaluation of two applicants for reactor operator licenses, four applicants for instant senior operator licenses, and three applicants for upgrade senior operator licenses. The written and operating examinations were developed by the NRC using NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. The license examiners determined that eight of the nine applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses were issued on June 11, 2010.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
ER 05000333/2010301; May 3-25, 2010; James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant; Initial
Operator Licensing Examination Report.
NRC examiners evaluated the competency of two applicants for reactor operator licenses, four applicants for instant senior operator licenses, and three applicants for upgrade senior operator licenses at James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The NRC developed the examinations using NUREG-1 021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. The written examination was administered by the facility on May 25,2010. NRC examiners administered the operating tests on May 3-7,2010. The license examiners determined that eight of the nine applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses have been issued. In addition, one applicant for an instant senior operator license passed his exam but his license is being held as explained in paragraph D.3.c of Examination Standard (ES) 501 in NUREG-1021 until the facility has certified in writing that the applicant has completed all of his experience requirements.

REPORT DETAILS
OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
40A5 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 six of the license applications in detail to confirm that they accurately reflected the subject applicant's qualifications. This audit focused on the applicant's experience and on-the-job training, including control manipulations that provided significant reactivity changes.
b. Findings
No find,ings of significance were identified .
.2 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Examination Scope
On May 25, 2010, 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 May 27,2010.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to all nine applicants on May 3-7,2010. The two applicants for reactor operator licenses participated in two dynamic simulator scenarios, in a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of 11 system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of four administrative tasks. The four applicants seeking an instant senior operator license participated in two or three dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of 10 system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks. The three applicants for upgrade senior operator licenses participated in one or two.dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of 10 system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks.
b. Findings
All nine of the applicants passed all parts of the operating test. For the written examinations, both of the reactor operator applicants' scores averaged 81.33 percent, the senior operator applicants' average score was 89.42 percent and ranged from 85 to 93 percent. The overall written examination average was 87.62 percent. The text of the examination questions and the licensee's examination analysis 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 four questions that met these criteria and submitted the analysis to the chief examiner. The analysis concluded that all four of these questions were technically accurate as written and no post exam comments were submitted .
.3 Initial Licensing Examination Development
a. Examination Scope
The NRC developed the examinations in accordance with NUREG-1021, Revision 9, Supplement 1. All licensee facility training and operations staff involved in examination preparation and validation were listed on a security agreement. The NRC conducted an onsite validation of the operating examinations the week of AprilS, 2010. The NRC satisfactorily completed comment resolution on April 23, 2010, for the Operating examination and on May 19, 2010, for the written examination.
b. Findings
No findings of significance 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.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified .
.5 Examination Security
a. Examination Scope
The examiners reviewed examination security for examination development and during both the onsite preparation week and examination administration week for compliance with NUREG-1021 requirements. Plans for simulator security and applicant control were reviewed and discussed with licensee personnel.
b. Findings
A potential compromise occurred for the Reactor Operator (RO) and Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) "draft" administrative Job Performance Measures (JPMs) topics during examination development. The potential compromise occurred when an NRC examiner transmitted the RO and SRO "draft" administrative JPM Outlines over the internet in a non-password protected email. Replacement administrative JPM topics were selected and replacement JPMs developed in order to ensure a valid examination.
40A6 Meetings. Including Exit The chief examiner presented the examination results to Mr. Joseph Barnes, Training Director, and other members of your staff on June 11, 2010. The licensee acknowledged the findings presented.
The licensee did not identify any information or materials used during the examination as proprietary.
