a.
Inspection Scope The Shearon Harris training staff developed the written examinations and the operating tests in accordance with NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Revision 9. The NRC examination team reviewed the proposed written examinations and operating tests. Examination changes, agreed upon between the NRC and the licensee, were made according to NUREG-1021 and incorporated into the final version of the examination materials.
The examiners reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing and administering the examinations to ensure examination security and integrity complied with 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of examinations and tests.
The examiners evaluated six Reactor Operator (RO) and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants who were being assessed under the guidelines specified in NUREG-1021. The examiners administered the operating tests during the period of January 23 -
February 1, 2006. Members of the Shearon Harris training staff administered the written examinations on February 6, 2006. The evaluations of the applicants and review of documentation were performed to determine if the applicants, who applied for licensees to operate the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, met requirements specified in 10CFR 55, Operators Licenses.
b.
Findings No findings of significance were identified.
The NRC determined that the details provided by the licensee for the written examinations and the operating tests were within the range of acceptability expected for the proposed tests. Six ROs and five SROs passed both the operating test and written examination. The RO and SRO written examination, the answer key, and the RO/SRO examination references may be accessed in the ADAMS system (ADAMS Accession Numbers, ML060550124 and ML060550119).
4OA6 Meetings Exit Meeting Summary On February 2, 2006, the examiners discussed generic issues with Mr. R. Duncan, Director of Site Operations, and members of his staff.
