The team identified a non-cited
Severity Level IV violation of
10 CFR 55.31(a)(4) because an operator license application was submitted to the NRC in August 1999 with incorrect information. The application was incorrect because it indicated that the individual completed all required training even though the
emergency preparedness portion of his required training was not completed until May 2000 (approximately eight months after the individual had been licensed)
When evaluating this issue according to NRC Manual Chapter 0610*, Appendix B, it did involve extenuating circumstances in that the issue potentially impacted the NRCs ability to perform its regulatory function. The teams evaluation of the apparent cause indicated a problem between the
emergency preparedness and operator training organizations, and limited to one individual. The issue was documented in
PECOs corrective action program as Performance Enhancement Program Issue I0012084. (Section 4OA2.a)
