L SUBJECT: OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION & INSPECTION REPORT
50-4S1/98301(OL)
Dear Mr. MacFarland:
On September 4,1998, the NRC completed an initial operator licensing retake examination and
a licensed operator requalification program special inspection at your Clinton Power Station.
The license applicant's performance evaluation was finalized on September 21,1998. The
enclosed report presents ths results of the retake examination and specialinspection.
An operating test consisting of control room and in-plant job performance measures was
l administered to one senior reactor operator applicant that had failed the February 1998, initial
license examination. The applicant passed the retake examination but was not issued an
operator license as he had not completed all requirements necessary to be issued the license.
The applicant will be issued a senior reactor operator license when you certify, in writing, to the
l Nuclear Regulatory Commission that all your training program requi:ements and 10 CFR 55
required reactivity manipulations are completed. Your certification should also state that the
l applicant was enrolled in the continuing operator training program and his performance in that
! program was satisfactory.
l The retake examination was your training department's second opportunity to prepare an
i- operator licensing examination under the NRC's operator licensing process as outlined in
l NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Interim
Revision 8.' This process permitted the preparation of the operating examination by your /
L training staff. The NRC approved and administered the examination. -
/
Licensed operator performance was observed during routine control room activities and
during the administration of an annual operating test to one operating crew. During the
control room observation,' licensed operators executed their dutbs in a professional
- manner and were knowledgeable of existing plant conditions. However, when implementing
,
emergency operating procedures during the annual operating examination, licensed
I' operator performance was not always correct and resulted in examination failures.
I Since the completion of this inspection period, a significant number of crew and
individual examination failures have occurred (4 of 7 crews and 21 of 60 licensed
3
operators).- Several examination failures were attributed to the operators' failure to
i correctly implement emergency operating procedure steps and enforce command and control
.

activities in the crews. During the January / February 1998, initiallicensed operator examination,
examiners determined that initial license applicants were incorrectly executing emergenQ
operating implementation procedures. Taken in aggregate, this is indicative of a problem in your
training program's implementation for licensed operators. We understand that you have begun
a root cause investigation into the requalification examination faHures and have entered this
issue into your Plan for Excellence. We also understand that you plan to address those aspects
necessary for operation prior to restart of the unit. We have added the training and evaluation of
licensed operators into the Case Specific Checklist of the Manual Chapter 0350 restart plan.
We will determine those items requiring additional inspection efforts following your determination
of corrective actions.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosures to this letter will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this examination and inspection.
Sincerely
