| Title | Failure to Provide Complete and Accurate Information to the NRC Associated with Verifying No Operating Test Item Duplication with the Audit Test |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Severity Level IV Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of 10 CFR 55.40, Implementation, 10 CFR 50.9, Completeness and accuracy of information, and 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of examinations and tests. For the Dresden Station March 2009 NRC Initial Operator License Examination, the inspectors identified that the examination author and the facility reviewer had initialed Step 2.b and Step 3.a.(3) of Form ES-201-2, Examination Outline Quality Checklist, on August 15, 2008, and August 19, 2008, respectively, and Step 1.c of Form ES-301-3 Operating Test Quality Checklist, on January 15, 2009, and January 20, 2009, respectively, which indicated that the operating test did not duplicate items from the applicants audit test, when, upon NRC review, it was determined that six of the 23 dynamic simulator scenario events, and one of the 15 Job Performance Measures (JPMs) for the Reactor Operator (RO) candidates were duplicated from the applicants audit test. The finding was determined to be more than minor, because the integrity of the NRC initial operator licensing examination could have been compromised if, but for detection by the NRC examiners, the NRC examination had been administered with the duplication of the operating test items from the applicants audit test. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because the duplication of operating test items was discovered by the NRC examiners prior to administration of the NRC examination, the duplicate test items were either removed from the audit test or the NRC exam changed to remove the duplication, and the facility implemented examination security requirements for the audit test similar to that which was required for the NRC examination. The inspectors concluded that this finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, because the licensee did not define and effectively communicate expectations regarding procedural compliance and for personnel to follow procedures (i.e., in the development of the NRC initial operator license examination) (H.4(b)).
