SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/98-301
Dear Mr. Parrish:
From November 2-6, 1998, an initial licensing examination inspection was conducted at your
Washington Nuclear Project-2 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and
results of that inspection.
The inspection included an evaluation of 4 applicants for reactor operator licenses and
8 applicants for senior operator licenses.
We determined that all 12 of the applicants satisfied
the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55 and the appropriate licenses have been issued.
While the submitted written examination was adequate,
the operating test portion of the
examination including the administrative portion, and the facilityand control room systems
walkthrough portion were inadequate for administration, as submitted.
Required changes
involved revision or replacement of follow up questions to job performance measures
or
administrative questions to conform to the guidance in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing
Examination Standards,"
Interim Revision 8.
These revisions were necessary
to satisfy the NRC's individual test item expectations,
consistent with the NRC's Examination Standards.
We reviewed our specific concerns and
recommendations
with your staff and believe they now have a better understanding of the
NRC's examination expectations.
We commend your staff for their prompt and effective efforts
to enhance the examinations with no adverse effect on the examination schedule.
Consequently, no further response to address this matter is required.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
