July 21-29,2010; Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2 and Peach Bottom Atomic Power
Station Units 2 and 3; Initial Operator Licensing Examination Report.
NRC examiners evaluated the competency of six applicants for senior operator licenses limited
to fuel handling at Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2 and Peach Bottom Atomic Power
Station Units 2 and 3. The facility licensee developed the examinations using NUREG-1021 ,
"Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1.
The written examination was administered by the facility on July 27,2010. NRC examiners
administered the operating tests during the weeks of July 19 and July 26, 2010. The license
examiners determined that all six applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and
the appropriate licenses have been issued.
A.      NRC-Identified and Self-Revealing Findings
        No findings of significance were identified.

4.    OTHER ACTIVITIES (OA)
40A5 Other Activities (Initial Operator License Examination)
.1    License Applications
    a. Scope
      The examiners reviewed all six license applications submitted by the licensee to ensure
      the applications reflected that each applicant satisfied relevant license 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 examiners also audited all of the license applications in detail to
      confirm that they accurately reflected the subject applicant's qualifications. This audit
      focused on the applicant's experience, on-the-job training, and control manipulations.
    b. Findings
      No findings of significance were identified .
.2    Operator Knowledge and Performance
    a. Examination Scope
      On July 27, 2010, the licensee proctored the administration of the written examinations
      to all six applicants. The licensee staff graded the written examinations, analyzed the
      results, and presented their analysis to the NRC on August 10, 2010.
      The NRC examination team administered the operating examination to all six applicants
      during the weeks of July 19 and July 26, 2010. The six applicants seeking a senior
        operator license limited to fuel handling participated in a facilities walkthrough test
        consisting of ten system tasks, and an administrative test consisting of five
        administrative tasks.
    b.  Findings
      All six of the applicants passed the operating test and written examination. For the
        written examinations, the applicants' average score was 85 percent and ranged from
        82 to 92 percent. The text of the examination questions and the licensee's examination
        analysis may be accessed in the ADAMS system under the accession numbers noted in
        the attachment.
        Chapter ES-403 and Form ES-403-1 of NUREG 1021 require the licensee to analyze
        the validity of any written examination questions that were missed by half or more of the
        applicants. The licensee conducted this performance analysis for those questions that
        met these criteria and submitted the analysis to the chief examiner. The licensee made
        no recommendations for changes to the examination.
                                                                                            Enclosure
 
                                                2
.3    Initial Licensing Examination Development
    a. Examination Scope
      The facility licensee developed the examinations in accordance with NUREG-1021 ,
      Revision 9, Supplement 1. All licensee facility training and operations staff involved in
      examination preparation and validation were listed on a security agreement. The facility
      licensee submitted both the written and operating examination outlines on
      April 30, 2010. The chief examiner reviewed the outlines against the requirements of
      NUREG-1 021, Revision 9, Supplement 1, and provided comments to the licensee. The
      facility licensee submitted the draft examination package on May 27, 2010. The chief
      examiner reviewed the draft examination package against the requirements of
      NUREG-1 021, Revision 9, Supplement 1, and provided comments to the licensee on
      the examination on June 14, 2010. The NRC conducted an onsite validation of
      the operating examinations and provided further comments during the week of
      June 14, 2010. The licensee satisfactorily completed comment resolution prior to
      administration of the examination.
    b. Findings
      The NRC approved the initial examination outline and advised the licensee to proceed
      with the operating examination development.
      The examiners determined that the written and operating examinations initially
      submitted by the licensee were within the range of acceptability expected for a proposed
      examination.
      No findings of significance were identified .
.4    Examination Security
    a. Examination Scope
      The examiners reviewed examination security for examination development and during
      both the onsite preparation week and examination administration week for compliance
      with NUREG-1021 requirements. Plans for security and applicant control were
        reviewed and discussed with licensee personnel.
    b.  Findings
        No findings of Significance were identified.
