a.
Inspection Scope
The licensee developed operating tests and written examinations in accordance with
NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Draft
Revision 9. The NRC examination team reviewed the proposed examinations.
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 four RO and seven SRO applicants who were being assessed
under the guidelines specified in NUREG-1021. The examiners administered the
operating tests during the period of August 30 - September 3, 2004. Members of the
H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant training staff administered the written examination
on August 27, 2004. The evaluations of the applicants and review of documentation
were performed to determine if the applicants, who applied for licensees to operate the
H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, met requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 55.
