REPORT DETAILS 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA5 Operator Licensing Examinations a. Inspection Scope The NRC evaluated the submitted written examination questions in order to determine the percentage of submitted questions that required replacement or significant modification, or that clearly did not conform with the intent of the approved knowledge and ability (K/A) statement. Any questions that were deleted during the grading process, or for which the answer key had to be changed, were also included in the count of unacceptable questions. The percentage of submitted test items that were unacceptable was compared to the acceptance criteria of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Standards for Power Reactors.

The NRC reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing and administering the examination in order to ensure compliance with 10 CFR §55.49, Integrity of examinations and tests.

The NRC examiner evaluated one Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicant using the guidelines contained in NUREG-1021. Evaluation of the applicant and review of associated documentation was performed to determine if the applicant, who applied for a license to operate the Saint Lucie Nuclear Plant, met the requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 55, Operators Licenses.

b. Findings No findings were identified.

Members of the Saint Lucie training staff developed the written examination. All examination material was developed in accordance with the guidelines contained in Revision 11 of NUREG-1021. The NRC 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 NRC determined, using NUREG-1021, that the licensees initial examination submittal was within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination.

One Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicant passed the written examination. The operating portion and the RO portion of the written examination were excused. One SRO applicant was issued a license.
