Dear Mr. Sylvia:
SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATIONEXAMINATIONAND PROGRAM EVALUATION,
REPORT NO. 50-410/92-23 (OL)
During the week of November 15, 1992, the NRC conducted a requalification examination at
the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2.
The examination was conducted in accordance
with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examiner Standards,"
Rev. 7 (Draft). The results
of this examination were combined with the. results of the requalification examination
~administered by the NRC from December 2 to 5, 1991, and described in Examination Report
Number 50-410/91-25 (OL) to make a program evaluation.
In the current evaluation, three crews including ten individual operators were evaluated.
Of
this group, one crew and one individual failed the simulator portion, while all others passed
. all portions of the examination.
When combined with the 1991 results, five of six crews
passed the simulator portion and 18 of 20 individuals.passed all portions of the examination.
Based on these results the requalification program at Nine Mile Point 2 is satisfactory.
r
The open reference written examination was an area of your requalification program that was
found to have programmatic weakness.
Approximately 30 percent of the Section B questions
submitted to the NRC by the facility had to be rewritten or revised to meet all of the
standards
set by ES-602.
As a result of the NRC identified weakness,
your staff has
committed to review and upgrade this section of the examination bank,
During this requalification examination, a review of operator medical records was conducted
to verify compliance with 10 CFR 55.21.
The administrative controls and program
implementation were determined to be in compliance with regulatory requirements
and no
discrepancies
were identified.
