.1 Initial Licensing Examinations
a. Examination Scope
The NRC examiners conducted an announced operator licensing initial examination during the week of August 18, 2008. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) examiners and members of the facility licensee's staff used the guidance prescribed in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9 Supplement 1, to develop, validate, administer, and grade the written examination and operating test. Members of the facility licensee's staff prepared the outline and developed the written examination and operating test. The NRC examiners validated the proposed examination during the week of July 21, 2008, with the assistance of members of the facility licensee's staff. The NRC examiners administered the operating test, consisting of job performance measures and dynamic simulator scenarios, during the period of August 18, 2008. The facility licensee administered the written examination on August 25, 2008.
b. Findings
Written Examination The NRC examiners determined that the written examination, as originally submitted by the licensee, was within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed examination. All changes made to the submitted examination, were made in accordance with NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," and documented on Form ES-401-9, "Written Examination Review Worksheet." The licensee submitted post-examination comments by letter dated August 29, 2008.
Neither the facility licensee nor any of the candidates requested a change to the as administered examination. The recommendations were from applicants who suggested that three of the written questions be reformatted.
Operating Test The NRC examiners developed the Operating Test. Operating Test changes agreed upon between the NRC and licensee were made according to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. The licensee submitted one post examination comment by letter dated August 29, 2008. Neither the facility licensee nor any of the candidates requested a change to the as administered examination.
The recommendation was from an applicant who suggested that the initiation cue for one of the Job Performance Measures be changed to add clarity.
3 Examination Results Nine applicants passed all sections of their examinations resulting in the issuance of five senior reactor operator and four reactor operator licenses.
.2 Examination Security
a. Inspection Scope
The NRC examiners briefed the facility contact on the NRC's requirements and guidelines related to examination physical security (e.g., access restrictions and simulator considerations) and integrity in accordance with 10 CFR 55.49, "Integrity of Examinations and Tests," and NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standard for Power Reactors." The examiners reviewed and observed the licensee's implementation and controls of examination security and integrity measures (e.g., security agreements) throughout the examination process.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA6 Meetings
Exit Meeting The chief examiner presented the examination team's preliminary observations and findings with Mr. D. Rhoades and other members of the licensee management and staff on August 26, 2008. An exit via teleconference was held on September 10, 2008, with Mr. J. White of the licensee staff following receipt of the site post-examination comments. The inspectors stated that they had reviewed proprietary information during the preparation and administration of the examination, but that the proprietary information would not be included in the examination report. The licensee acknowledged the observations provided.
