The examiners reviewed all 12 license applications submitted by the licensee to ensure the applications reflected that each applicant satisfied relevant 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 examiner also audited two license applications in detail to confirm that they accurately reflected the applicants' qualifications. This audit focused on the applicants' experience, on-the-job training, and eligibility to sit for the instant senior reactor operator license exams.

No findings were identified .
.2 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Examination Scope
On September 1, 2010, the licensee proctored the administration of the written examinations to all applicants. The licensee staff graded the written examinations, analyzed the results, and presented their analysis to the NRC on September 10, 2010.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to all applicants from August 23-27,2010. The applicant for a reactor operator license 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 applicants seeking an instant senior reactor operator license participated in two or 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. The applicants for an upgrade license partiCipated in two or three dynamic scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of five system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks.
b. Findings
All applicants passed all parts of the operating test; 11 applicants passed the written examination.
