OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION - NRC EXAMINATION REPORT 05000269/2012301, 05000270/2012301 AND 05000287/2012301
Dear Mr. Gillespie,
Jr.:
During the period June 11, 2012, through June 14, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered operating tests to employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Oconee Nuclear Station. At the conclusion of the tests, the examiners discussed preliminary findings related to the operating tests and the written examination submittal with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. The written examination was administered by your staff on June 20, 2012.
All applicants passed both the operating test and written examination. There were no post-examination comments. A Simulator Fidelity Report is included in this report as Enclosure 2.
The initial examination submittal was within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination. All examination changes agreed upon between the NRC and your staff were made according to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Revision 9, Supplement 1.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at (404) 997-4550.
Sincerely,
/RA/

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS ER 05000269/2012301; 05000270/2012301; 05000287/2012301; operating test 06/11/2012 -
06/14/2012 & written exam 06/20/2012; Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 Operator License Examinations.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) examiners conducted an initial examination in accordance with the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. This examination implemented the operator licensing requirements identified in 10 CFR §55.41, §55.43, and §55.45 as applicable.
Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station staff developed both the operating tests and the written examination.
The NRC administered the operating tests during the period of June 11, 2012, through June 14, 2012. Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station training staff administered the written examination on June 20, 2012. Four Reactor Operator (RO) and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants passed both the written examination and operating test. Nine applicants were issued licenses commensurate with the level of examination administered.
There were no post-examination comments.
No findings were identified.

Enclosure 1
Report Details 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA5 Operator Licensing Initial Examinations a. Inspection Scope Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station staff developed both the operating tests and the written examination. All examination material was developed in accordance with the guidelines contained in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC examination team reviewed the proposed examination. Examination changes agreed upon between the NRC and the licensee were made per NUREG-1021, and incorporated into the final version of the examination materials.
The examiners reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing and administering the examinations to ensure examination security and integrity complied with 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests. One noncompliance of security requirements occurred on April 12, 2012, when a member of licensee management, not on the security agreement, entered the simulator while exam validation was taking place. The individual was immediately added to the security agreement. The licensee documented this event in PIP O-12-03987.
The NRC examiners evaluated four Reactor Operator (RO), and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants using the guidelines contained in NUREG-1021. The examiners administered the operating tests during the period of June 11, 2012, through June 14, 2012.
