SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-361/98-302; 50-362/98-302
Dear Mr. Ray:
From November 15-20,1998, an operator licensing certification inspection was conducted at
your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, reactor facilities. The enclosed
report presents the scope and results of that inspection.
The inspection included an evaluation of five applicants for reactor operator licenses and
nine applicants for senior operator licenses. We determined that ten of the applicants satisfied
the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate licenses have been issued.
Your facility training and operations staff reviewed the written examinations after administration
and recommended changes to 22 of the questions submitted for the reactor operator and
senior operator examinations combined. Nearly all of the comments cited technical
inaccuracies in the questions that made more than one choice correct or resulted in no correct
choices. This represents a significant weakness in the technical review conducted prior to
examination submittal. Additionally,in several cases, applicants responded with the same
wrong answer to a number of questions. We concluded that this represented significant
training deficiencies. This conclusion was further supported by some of the operational errors
made by applicants.
' Based on these technical review and training deficiencies, we request that you respond in
writing to this report within 90 days of receipt of this letter. Your response should address the
root causes for the lack of adequate technical review and the training deficiencies represented
by the applicant performance and your proposed corrective actions.
l
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).
