Gentlemen:
Subject: Integrity of Requalification Examinations at Non-Power Reactors (Generic Letter 87- )
The purpose of this Generic Letter is to clarify the staff position concerning requalification examinations at non-power reactors. NRC recently identified several licensees who are giving take-home or on-shift requalification examinations. This is not an acceptable means for certifying individual performance, as conveyed in the guidance given in Generic Letter 83-17, issued on April 8, 1983.
In the course of reviewing this matter, we discovered that non-power reactor licensees were inadvertently omitted from distribution of Generic Letter 83-17 in 1983. This oversight was corrected when Generic Letter 83-17 was transmitted on May 22, 1987, as an attachment to Information Notice No. 87-22.
Therefore, non-power reactor licensees who used take-home or on-shift requalification examinations prior to receipt of Information Notice No. 87-22, if otherwise in accordance with NRC-approved facility operator requalification programs, will not be considered in non-conformance with the guidance of Generic Letter 83-17.
Please review Information Notice No. 87-22 for applicability to your operator requalification program and consider any appropriate actions. However, this letter is for information only and no specific action or written response is required.
Questions on this matter should be addressed to Mr. Alexander Adams, Jr., at
