Dear Mr. Orscr:

SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INVESTIGATION REPORT 3-91-010)
This refers to the investigation conducted by the NRC Office of Investigations (OI) in response to an August 2, 1991, latter from the Detroit Edison Company (Deco),concerning the possible compromise on July 24, ]991, ofajreactoroperatorrequalifi-cation examination scheduled to b4 administered by the NRC on August 5, 1991. A copy of the synopsis of the OI investigation report is enclosed (Enclosure 1).
The OI investigation concluded that.the lead training instructor, who was assisting in the preparation of the examination, compromised the examination by directing another instructor, who had not signed an examination security form and was not aware of the examination's contents, to focuc simulator practice sessions on certain procedures which were to be tested on August 5, 1991.
However, the examination candidates never received any information on the examination topics prior to being examined.
This resulted because DECO r_anagement, acting in response to concerns raised by other employees prior to the examination, placed different instructors in charge of the remaining training of the candidates and required any member of the training staff who may have learned of the examination's information to sign an examinction secarity form.
The compromise of the reactor operator requalification examination on July 24, 1991, is a violation of 10 CFR 55.49.
Based upon the investigation's conclusion that the violation was willful, an escalated enforcement action would normally be taken for this violation in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C). The NRC staff recognizes the actions taken by Deco in this matter; therefore, the discre-tionary provisions for willful violations committed by low level licensee employees, contained in Section VII.B. (2) (d) of the NRC Enforcement Policy, were considered. Application of this enforcement discretion was found to be inappropriate in this case CERTIFIED MAIL r.

///
The' Detroit Edison Company --2.- December 16, 1992 because of the position the individual held in the Fermi organization. '
Therefore, I have decided after consultation with the Director, Office of Enforcement, and the Deputy Executive Director for' -
Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Regional Operations, and Research, to ,
issue the enclosed Notice of Violation (Enclosure 2), but not to require a reply to the violation in recognition of DECO's response to the event. Consideration was given to escalating the severity level of the violation because it involved a willful act; however, the violation has been classified at Severity Level IV because (1) this was an isolated act on the part of one individual, and (2) none of the candidates received any information on the examination topics.
While DECO's actions in response tu this event were proper, any willful violation of NRC requirements is a significant regulatory concern. In order to convey the scriousness with which we view this matter, the enclosed letter (Enclosure 3) has been sent to Mr. G. Reece, the fs er lead training instr actor involved in-this mattar.
In accordt. ace with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice,"
a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

SYNOPSIS On August 23, 1991, the Regional Administrator (RA). U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
? .Conmission (NRC), H,gion Ill (Rl!I), requested that an investigation be b initiated concerning an alleged deliberate attempt to compromise portions of l l an NRC Reactor Operator's Requalification Examination by a Detroit Edison
& Company (DECO) Fermi 2 Power Plant (Fermi 2) lead instructor.
I i
On September 30, 1991, the RA further requested that the investigation also focus on two additional potential wrongdoing issues: (1) Other alleged instances of examination security breaches in the past; and (2) Other I instances where surveillance tests were falsified.
The Office of Investigctions, RIII, investigation substantiated that the lead instructor deliberately attempted to compromise the NRC Requalification I. ,
Examination by directing another instructor to focus, during a simu?ator l[ practice session, on procedures which were part of the NRC Requalification L Examination.
i' 1 The investigation alse determined that a past examination of a security breach was well documented by DECO Fermi 2 senior training officials, conveyed to the NRC by DECO, and was, in fact, a mistake on the part of a DECO Fermi 2 instructor, who was the one who initially notified DECO management of his error. The investigation did not, however, substantiate any deliberate wrongdri.'.9 on the part of any DECO personnel in relation to this particular incide t.
g Finally, the investigation did not substantiate the allegation that there were falsifications of surveillance tests.
