| description = Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 55.49, requires, in part, that facility licensees shall not engage in any activity that compromises the integrity of any application, test, or examination required by this part. The integrity of a test or examination is considered compromised if any activity, regardless of intent, affected, or, but for detection, would have affected the equitable and consistent administration of the test or examination. This includes activities related to the preparation, administration, and grading of the tests and examinations required by this part. Contrary to the above, during the 2010 annual operating exam cycle, the licensee engaged in an activity that compromised the integrity of a test required by 10 CFR Part 55. Specifically, training personnel administered JPMs to licensed operators on their operating tests that had been used for previous exams in excess of 50 percent. Administering an operating test with greater than 50 percent overlap from previously administered operating tests is considered a compromise of the integrity of the test in that it is a practice that, but for detection, would affect the equitable and consistent administration of the these tests. The finding was more than minor because it adversely impacted the human performance attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Additionally, if left uncorrected, the performance deficiency could have become more significant in that allowing licensed operator to return to the control room without valid demonstration of appropriate knowledge and abilities on the annual operating exams could be a precursor to a significant event if undetected performance deficiencies develop. The licensee has entered this issue into their corrective action program as Callaway Action Request 201009333. The finding was determined to have very low safety significance because, although the finding resulted in a compromise of the integrity of operating test components (JPMs) and compensatory actions were not immediately taken when the compromise should have been discovered in 2010, the equitable and consistent administration of the test was not actually impacted by this compromise.
