NRC FORM 464 Part I U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION NRC - RESPONSE NUMBER (06-2020)
RESPONSE TO FREEDOM OF 2022-000178 1 INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUEST RESPONSE TYPE INTERIM FINAL PART I.D -- COMMENTS As part of its regulatory mission, the NRC establishes uniform operator licensing examination standards from which licensees generally develop and administer operator licensing written examinations. The written examination is a key measure that allows the NRC to make a confident decision regarding the safety-significant performance of individuals seeking a license. Release of the most recent examination questions would undermine the integrity of this process and adversely affecting those facility licensees who are planning to use questions from these examinations as a screening tool.
The NRC delays publishing the questions used in an examination for two years after the examination is administered.
Accordingly, we inquired whether you would be willing to exclude the current examination from the scope of your request; you agreed to do so.
Upon receipt of your request, we tasked Region I staff (where the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant is situated) to search for any responsive records. Region I staff informed us that earlier examinations may be found in the NRC's official recordkeeping repository, Agencywide Document Access and Management System [ADAMS] under the following Main Library [ML] accession numbers:
ML013250043 - 2001 ML032390332 - 2003 ML051930243 - 2005 ML061800354 - 2006 ML081370319 - 2008 ML101740446 - 2010 ML12116A259 - 2012 ML122710023 - 2012 ML14119A390 - 2014 ML14318A466 - 2014 ML16085A247 - 2016 ML18199A421 - 2018 ML19052A069 - 2019 ML20087H514 - 2020 Records with an ML accession number are publicly available in the NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room at http:www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html.
