▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ D. Correct. For Part 1, IAW OP-AA-105-102, the quarterly shift requirement to maintain an SRO License is a MINIMUM of 56 hours to be completed with a combination of complete 8- and 12-hour shifts. For Part 2, IAW OP-AA-105-102, during a credited shift to meet the quarterly shift requirement, the SRO is NOT permitted to perform non-position related administrative tasks outside the control room.
✗ A. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, OP-AA-105-102 has a 40 hour OJT requirement to reactivate a license. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the quarterly shift requirement to maintain an SRO License is a MINIMUM of 40 hours to be completed with a combination of complete 8- and 12-hour shifts. For Part 2, since an activity such as receiving periodic NRC physicals is required to maintain an active license, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that an SRO is permitted to perform non-position related administrative tasks outside the control room for a credited shift.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, OP-AA-105-102 has a 40 hour OJT requirement to reactivate a license. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the quarterly shift requirement to maintain an SRO License is a MINIMUM of 40 hours to be completed with a combination of complete 8- and 12-hour shifts. Part 2 is correct.
✗ C. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, since an activity such as receiving periodic NRC physicals is required to maintain an active license, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that an SRO is permitted to perform non-position related administrative tasks outside the control room for a credited shift.
