a. Scope
The examiners reviewed all five license applications submitted by the licensee to ensure the applications reflected that each applicant satisfied relevant eligibility requirements.
The applications were submitted on NRC Form 398, "Personal Qualification Statement,"
and NRC Form 396, "Certification of Medical Examination by Facility Licensee." The examiner also audited one license application in detail to confirm that it accurately reflected the applicant's qualifications. This audit focused on the applicant's experience, on-the-job training, and eligibility to sit for the instant senior operator license exam.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
. 2 Operator Knowledge and Performance
a. Examination Scope
On August 31, 2009, the licensee proctored the administration of the written examinations to all applicants. The licensee staff graded the written examinations, analyzed the results, and presented their analysis to the NRC on September 8, 2009.
The NRC examination team administered the various portions of the operating examination to all applicants from August 24-26, 2009. The applicants for reactor operator licenses participated in two or three dynamic simulator scenarios, in a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of eleven system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of four administrative tasks. The applicants seeking an instant senior reactor operator license participated in two or three dynamic simulator scenarios, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of ten system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks. The applicant for an upgrade license participated in one dynamic scenario, a control room and facilities walkthrough test consisting of five system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five administrative tasks.
b. Findings
All applicants passed all parts of the operating test and the written examination. For the written examinations, the reactor operator applicants' average score was 88.0 percent and ranged from 82.6 to 93.3 percent. The senior reactor operator applicants' overall average score was 95.7 percent and ranged from 93.0 to 97.0 percent. The examination questions may be accessed in the ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in the attachment.
