SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL RETAKE EXAMINATION - CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - NRC EXAMINATION REPORT 05000302/2006301

Dear Mr. Young:

On June 8, 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered a retake operating test to one employee of your company who had reapplied for a license to operate the Crystal River Nuclear Plant. A senior reactor operator (SRO) applicant was required to retake the simulator portion of the operating test. The NRC waived the written examination and the walk-through section of the operating test. At the conclusion of the test, the examiner discussed preliminary findings with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.

The SRO applicant passed this portion of the operating test. There were no post exam comments.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) components of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
