REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATIONS FOR FISCAL YEARS 1985 AND 1986 g

Purpose:

To provide the Connission the annual sumary of examinatice, licensing and requalification activities for Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators. The last sumary was provided by 6ECY 86-13.

I Discussion:

The enclosed graphs and tables report national operator licensing results for FY 1985 and FY 1986 and regional requalification program evaluation results for FY 1985 ant l

FY 1986.

i Candidate perforh.ince during FY 1986 did not differ significantly froa FY 1985. Examination results, broken down by license type and examination component, for FY 1915 and FY 1986 are presented in Enclosure 1.

FY 1986 examinatien results for each region are presented in.

Generally, the pass rates of all regions we'e consistent. The largest deviation was the pass rate on t*e Senior Reactor Operator simulator examination, which ranged from 75% to 921. However, evaluation of specific data areng the five regions indicates no consistent trend for any individual regipn for any aspect of the examination process or trends between FY 1985 and FY 1986. We will continue to evaluate examination results for trends and inconsistencier among regions as part of our oversight function.

During FY 1986, requalification programs at seventeen facilities wereievaluated in accordance with HUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examiner Standards. Initial evaluatices indicated that nine programs were satisfactory, three were marginal and five were unsatisfactory. As a result of actions i

1 taken by the facility licensees after our evaluations, one unsatisfactory program was upgraded and is no longer considered unsatisfactory. The other four unsatisfactory i

and the three marginal programs are being upgraded and will be reevaluated during FY 1987. A graphical representation of FY 1985 and FY 1986 requalification p eg-am evaluations performed in accordance with NUREG-1021 is presented in.

FY 1986 facility program results, by region, are presented in inclosure 4.

More detailed data on operator licensing activities are provided in Enclosures 5 and 6.

i All five regions aref participating in a pilot test of an 1

alternative program to NRC administered reTJalification examinations (SECY86-333). Five facilities have been evaluated under this program. Since insufficient information has been developed from the pilot program thus far, it has been extended for six eenths and the results are to be reported to the Comiss n in Ma 1987.

REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATIONS l

During Fiscal Year 1986, seventeen facilities were evaluated in accordance with NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examiner Standards.

In addition, a pilot program on requalification examinations (SECY 86-333) at five facilities was conducted to test the feasibility of evaluating requalification prograns by reviewing and auditing facility administered written and operating examinations. Based upon insufficient information from the initial pi%t j

program, the program is being continued for six months.

i The Examiner Standards require the administration of HRC prepared writ.an and operating examinations to 20% of licensed operators and senior operaters.

[

For these seventeen facilities detemin9tions of Satisfactory, Marginal or 1

Unsatisfactory were made in accordance with the Examiner Standards. The results for the seventeen programs evaluated in accordance with NUREG-1021 and the five programs evaluated in.accordance with the pilot program were fourteen satisfactory, three marginal, and five unsatisfactory prograns. One program was upgraded to satisfactory based on subsequent NRC examinati:ns.

From:

William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operatims Sub jec t:

RESULTS OF OPEPATCR LICENSING EXA.MINATIONS FOR SECOND

}-

QUARTER FY 1983

{

Pu rpose_:

To infom the Ccenissioners of examination and licensing

'I activities for 94 actor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators for January 1,1983 through March 31,1983.

Discussion:

The enclosed table reports' licensing action results, including issuances, denials or withdrawals and pass / fail rate for each NRC licensing examination component.

The total number of licensing actions processed in the second quarter FY 1983 was approximately the seme as for the first quarter FY 1983, (SECY 83-72A).

The pass / fail rate renained consistent during the period.

Most of the failures c:ntinue to occur on the written portion of the examination.

As a result of the rcgionalization effort, we expect the examination processing time to be reduced and the data input into the Cperator Licensing Tracking Systen to be maintained on a current basis. Therefore, we plan to include in the next report, the results by region frce the third and fourth quarters of FY 1983.

The re", ort will also include results of the requalification examinations, which cornent.ed in May 1983.

Subsequent reports will include results frcm the preceding quarter.

RESULTS OF OFEAATOR LICENSING EXAftINATIONS AND REC'. L:FICATION PROGRN4 EVALUATICNS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1985 AND OPERA OR LICENSING EXAF:NAYION RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEARS 1984 AND 1985 Puroese:

To inform the :cenissioners of examination, licens'ng and requalificati 9 activities for Reactor Operators a d Senior Reactor Opera:crs.

Discussion:

The enclosed gra:hs and tables report national operator licensing res:.its for FY 1984 and FY 1985 and Regi:nal requalificatien program evaluation results for FY 1985.

From the data available, it does not appear that candidate performance during FY 1985 differed significantly 'rce FY 1984 Exacination results, broken down by licecse type and examination c:mponent, for FY 1984 and FY 1985 are presented in Enclosure 1.

FY 1985 examir.ation results for each Region are presented in.

Generally, the pass rates of all Reciens were consistent. The largest deviation was the pass rate on the Reactor Opera:cr written examination, which rangee frem 70%

to 90%. Howe <er, comparative baseline data are n:: available to support a conclusion relative to the deviation. 'We will continue to evaluate examination results for trencs and inconsistencies among Regions as part of our oversight function.

Packaround:
On February 7,1985, the Comiiss%n adopted the :clicy Statement on Training and Qualification (50 FP 11147, l
March 20. 1985).
The Policy Statement endorie: the INFO-managed "raining Accreditation Program and tne industry, through h'2 ARC, cemitment to have 10 pregrams at 61 sites (610 pregrams) ready for accreditation by Decen:er 31, 1986.
In accreving the Policy Staterent, the Cem:niss :n deferred 1
rulemaki g en training anc cualification for 2 years in rec:gnit :r of industry efforts and direc:ec t e staff to I
ince;encently evaluate implementa icn of imcre.e ent programs.
SECY-e6-:'.9 ;>rovided a status re:crt on impleme.tation of the Poli:y Statement after 1 year.
It c:r.cluct: that significtnt progress was being mace and ec:=t :ad that rulemakir; continue to be deferred. Areas of ::rcern were notad, s:ee of which have been addressed by pu:!ication of i
the reviticn to 10 CFR 55 (52 FR 9453. 4 arch ?',19S7) and develeccent of INPO 86-025, "Guidelir.es for Cc-tinuing Training of Licensed Personnel," issued in Oct:ber 1986.

Althe.gn not statistically significant, the e is a marked increase in the
erfer arce of candidates at facilities witt accrecited training programs between Ff 1985 anc FY 1986.
However, this increase is probably due to factors other than application of performance-based training methods to recualification programs because recualification was regulated by 10 CFR 55, Appendix A.
Future evaluations should attecot to better measure the relaticnship between overall recualificatien examinaticw pass rates and the extent te which the facility follcws a program of performance-based recua'.ification training.
!.icertec Ocerater Examinatien Recerts Exami ation reports were reviewed for all c' ants to extract data describing incustry training program ef fectiveness.
Tnese rescris often identified gener c weaknesses found in the written anc/cr operating examinations. A gener c weakness is defined by the operatcr licensing examiners as a i
ancwlacge er performance deficiency evider.cac in accr0ximately ene-third of tre cancidates at a facility.
The citir; of generic weaknesses is interced as feedback to facility training staff.
Generic meaknesses were notee in examinaticn reports of accredited and nonac:nditec crograms alike. Of the 165 examination reports reviewed ever
he I year period,103 identified generic weaknesses.
Cer:non oeficiencies, weakresses and findings are listed belew, in rcugnly descending order of frecuency of occurrence:
Ceficiencies in kncwledge and use of procedures, especially abncrmal and emergency procedures were cited in almost half of the examination recorts. Many candidates displayec weaknesses in kncwledge of crecautions, entry corditiers, imeciate actions, use of multiple Orctecures, and f ailu: e to ecmolete and verify procecural steos.
The recent transition frem evenc to s) c:cm based emergency procedures ay te in part rescons91e for this 'eecuently cited weakness.

Secretary of the Commission U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 ATTENTION:
Freedom of Information Act Administrative Appeal
Dear Mr. Chilk:
This letter is a formal administrative appeal to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) response to Public Citizen's Freedom cf Information Act (FOIA) request FOIA-87-838.
Copies of our initial request and all subsequent correspondence with the NRC are attached for your information.
The NRC's Division of Rules and Records received the request on December 16, 1987.
The request (see enclosed copy) asked for records which provided information "on the scores received by reactor operators and senior reactor operators on license qualification and requalification exams at each and every commercial nuclear generating facility."
The request went on to state, "This does not include information on any individual operator, but it does include plant-specific statistics on the results of the exame,."
Public Citizen received a single and final response from the NRC dated January 14, 1988 (enclosed).
The response stated that documents had been placed in the NRC's Public Cccument Room that provide the examination results of Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators for all of the years that we had requested except 1983, for which there were no data available.
The response went on to state that "there are no data on requalification [examc) by plant as requested."
However, no general requalification exam data was presented, and the response was marked "Fina1."
In a telephone conversation on February 4, 1988 with Connie Pappas and Linda Robinson of the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts Branch staf f, we were told that the Operator Licensing Branch does not compile information on requalification scores.
Soon'thereafter, we became aware of an article in Tne Pittsburch Press [endlosed)whichstronglyimpliedthat the NRC did in fact compile information on requalification exam scores.
Indeed, according to the article, this information was used by the NRC to determine which plants (s;xteen in number) have "unsatisfactory" retraining programs.

c> r w
~.
r Assuming tha. the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (or Operator Licensin?' of fice. had simply made an unf:rtunate oversight, we contacted Connie ?appas, who had originally hand:ed the request.
She suggested that we send a letter and a copy of the article to Linda Robinson, the Branrh Chief, who would then review the material.
We sent such a letter on Tetruary 18 (enclosed) with a ec;) of the article Subsequently, en two separate occasions (Fotruary 26 and 29), we telephoned the Freedom of Information and Privacy Arts Branch to see about the status :f our request.
Both times the response was that they had not yet been able to locate the source of the information mentioned in the article, a'.though they would continue to try.
In fact, Linda Robinson restated during the second call, in spite Of the new evidence, that the NRC has ne compilation of requalificatio exam scores.
Over a week later, while inspecting the NRC's recent response to a separate FOIA regaest, Public Citizen discovered SECY-87-121, a memorandum from Victor Stello for "The Commissioners." and dated May 11, 1987.
Its subjec-is "The 2-Year Evaluation on Inplementation of the Commission Policy Statement on Training and Qualification."
Among the data that it provides is a short compilation of pass / fail rates for senior reactor operators and reactor operators on written and oral requalification exams on an industry-wide basis (enclosed).
Again, this information implies, indeed proves, that requalification exam scores are cor: piled by the NRC.
That this later information was not included in the NRC's response to the original FC:A request is entirely inexcusable.
On March 11, we informed Linda Robinson of the existence of this new piece of evidence.
She said that she would try t: find out who wrote SECY-87-121 and would learn more about it that way.
She also told us that the matter cf the newspaper article had stil'. not been resolved --
three weeks af ter it had been brought to her attention.
On Match 22. Connie Pappas told us that Lindt Robinson and Donnia Grimsley, Directer of the Division of Rules and Fecords, had met with their staff and that Mr. Grimsley would soon be citing us to give an i
update on the status of our FOIA request.
j On March 23, having heard nothing from Donnie Grimsley or Linda Robinson, Public Citizen contacted Ted Szymanski, a Section Leader in the Operator Licensing BranP.
Mr. Szymanski told us that there were a number of SECY papers that regularly came out of the Executive Director of Operation's office which reported qualificatico and requalification exam scores on a plant-specific basis.
Janet Lart.ing, of the same office, called back to list eleven such papers, giving information dating back to the beginning of 1983, as our original FCIA request stipulated.
{
We have since obtained a copy of one of these papers, SECY-86-13 (cover enclosed).
We have conh:ted a search at the Public Dor;. ent Room, and only six of the eleven papers listed by Janet Lanning are there, four of them i
I
o
+:a;se they were included in the NRC's response to past FOIA req;ests.
T.cse that are not in the Publi: rocument Room are SECY-88-75, SECY-87-2, J
SICY-33-72b, SECY-83 ~/2a, and SI:Y-83-72.
The implications of this chain of events are clears the NFC's
vision of Rules t.
i Records is either intentionally misleading the i
e;blic, is being misled by dishtnest or ill-informed members of the l
a or is less capable of f;nding information than the pub 1: 0 which
'gency,
t is intended to serve.
At least, it is clear that the NRC conducted a less-than-adequate search in response to our initial request.
Essed upon
'.e inaction of the staff at the rivision of Rules and Records, 7;blic Citizen feels that the real pretlem is the NRC's general hostil ty to the Freedom of Information Act and the public that makes use of it.
i Public citizen requests that a complete search for documents ce undertaken in response to FOIA-87-838 and that the remaining SECY papers, listed above, and all other relevant documents, be provided immediately.
We also request that the NRC investigate this matter and explain at what point the Freedom of Information Act was brushed aside, and why.
As provided for in the FOIA, we expect to receive the requested records or a final determination en FOIA-87-838 within 20 working days.
If you have any questions about this administrative appeal or our initial request, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you for your attention to this request.

I realize that this request was closed by your office, but I would appreciate you re-ope:dr.g it so that an investigation based cn the e6 closed article may be conducted. Specifically, your response states that "there are no data on requal-ificatien by plant as requested."
