JUNE 8, 2018 ENCLOSURE C
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR)
Items of Interest Week Ending June 8, 2018 Differing Professional Opinion Regarding Operator Licensing Examinations On April 27, 2018, the Acting Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), issued a decision on a Differing Professional Opinion (DPO) submitted on October 10, 2017, involving operator licensing written examinations. The DPO raised concerns that the recent policy determination made by NRR staff for writing and assessing Tier 1 written examination test items has the potential to undermine the 10 CFR 55.41 that the written examination contain a representative selection of questions on the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform licensed operator duties. The Panel made three recommendations to help clarify guidance to the staff. The Acting Director, NRR, agreed with the Panel on the recommendations. The DPO Case File can be found in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), Accession No.: ML18150A469.
Differing Professional Opinion Regarding Radiological Impact of the Removal of the Auxiliary Shield Blocks On May 8, 2018, the Acting Director, NRR, issued a decision on a DPO submitted on October 24, 2017, involving radiological impact of the removal of the auxiliary shield blocks on the containment accident shield post large break loss of coolant accident. The DPO raised concerns that a memo issued by the Deputy Director of the Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, NRR, to the Deputy Director of the Division of Reactor Safety, Region III, stated that the licensee is not required to limit the dose to occupational workers in non-vital areas during design basis accidents. There is no regulation related to radiation exposure that would require restoration of the accident missile blocks or installation of equivalent shielding. The Panel made three recommendations to help clarify guidance to the staff. The Acting Director, NRR, agreed with the Panel on the recommendations. The DPO Case File can be found in ADAMS, Accession No.: ML18152B664.
