SUBJECT: WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NRC EXAMINATION
REPORT 05000382/2020301
Dear Mr. Ferrick:
On September 30, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an initial
operator license examination at your Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3. The enclosed
report documents the examination results and licensing decisions. The preliminary examination
results were discussed on August 20, 2020, with Mr. V. Ford, Operations Training
Superintendent, and other members of your staff. A telephonic exit meeting was conducted on
September 30, 2020, with Mr. J. Jarrell, Operations Manager, who was provided the NRC
licensing decisions.
The examination included the evaluation of 5 applicants for reactor operator licenses,
5 applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses, and 3 applicants for upgrade senior
reactor operator licenses. The license examiners determined that all 13 applicants satisfied the
requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 55 and the
appropriate licenses have been issued. There were no post-examination comments submitted
by your staff. The enclosure contains details of this report.
No findings were identified during this examination.

The licensee developed the examinations using NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing
Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 11. The written examination was
administered by the licensee on August 26, 2020. The NRC examiners administered the
operating tests on August 17-21, 2020.
The NRC examiners determined that all the applicants satisfied the requirements of

REPORT DETAILS
OTHER ACTIVITIES - INITIAL LICENSE EXAM
.1 License Applications
a. Scope
The NRC examiners reviewed all license applications submitted to ensure each
applicant satisfied relevant license eligibility requirements. The NRC examiners also
audited six of the license applications in detail to confirm that they accurately reflected
the subject applicants qualifications. This audit focused on the applicants experience
and on-the-job training, including control manipulations that provided significant reactivity
changes.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.2 Examination Development
a. Scope
The NRC examiners reviewed integrated examination outlines and draft examinations
submitted by the licensee against the requirements of NUREG-1021. The NRC
examiners conducted an onsite validation of the operating tests.
b. Findings
The NRC examiners provided outline, draft examination, and post-validation comments
to the licensee. The licensee satisfactorily completed comment resolution prior to
examination administration.
The NRC examiners determined the written examinations and operating tests initially
submitted by the licensee were within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed
examination.
.3 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Scope
On August 26, 2020, the licensee proctored the administration of the written
examinations to all 13 applicants. The licensee staff graded the written examinations,
analyzed the results, and presented their analysis to the NRC on August 27, 2020.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating tests to
all applicants on August 17-21, 2020.
3
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
All applicants passed the written examination and all parts of the operating tests. The
final written examinations and post-examination analysis may be accessed in the
ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in the attachment. There were no
post-examination comments as indicated in the licensee submittal.
The examination team noted three generic weaknesses associated with applicant
performance on the dynamic scenario and in-plant job performance measures sections
of the operating tests. These are listed below:
1) Three of ten applicants failed to check instrument air compressor oil level at both
available indications during in-plant job performance measures.
2) Two of four crews had at least one crew member that failed to read and adhere to
turnover sheets.
3) Two of four crews demonstrated inconsistencies in action taken for inoperable
instrument channels.
These deficiencies were captured in the licensees corrective action program as
corrective action number 70 of Condition Report 2019-0315.
Post-examination analysis revealed four generic weaknesses associated with applicant
performance on the written examination.
1) Question 40 - 77 percent missed it due to applicant knowledge weakness and the
topic was alarms associated with containment spray.
2) Question 66 - 54 percent missed it due to applicant knowledge weakness and the
topic was the ability to interpret and execute procedural steps.
3) Question 92 - 63 percent missed it due to applicant knowledge weakness and the
topic was abnormal operating procedures and spent fuel pool cooling.
4) Question 97 - 75 percent missed it due to applicant knowledge weakness and the
topic was the process used to track inoperable alarms.
These deficiencies were captured in the licensees corrective action program as
corrective action number 69 of Condition Report 2019-0315.
Copies of all individual examination reports were sent to the facility training manager for
evaluation and determination of appropriate remedial training.
4
.4 Simulation Facility Performance
a. Scope
The NRC examiners observed simulator performance with regard to plant fidelity during
examination validation and administration.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
.5 Examination Security
a. Scope
The NRC examiners reviewed examination security for examination development during
both the onsite preparation week and examination administration week for compliance
with 10 CFR 55.49 and NUREG-1021. Plans for examination security and applicant
control were reviewed and discussed with licensee personnel.
b. Findings
No findings were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
Exit Meeting Summary
The chief examiner presented the preliminary examination results to Mr. V. Ford, Operations
Training Superintendent, and other members of the staff on August 20, 2020. A telephonic exit
was conducted on September 30, 2020, between Mr. C. Osterholtz, Chief Examiner, and
Mr. J. Jarrell, Operations Manager. The licensee did not identify any information or materials
used during the examination as proprietary.
