Dear Mr. Nazar:
On August 10, 2004, the NRC completed administration of an initial operator licensing re-take examination at your D. C. Cook Nuclear Power Station. The NRC finalized the results of the examination on August 11, 2004. The enclosed report presents the results of the examinations.
An NRC examiner administered a re-take of the administrative job performance measures portion of an operating test to an applicant that failed that portion of the initial license examination during March 2004. The applicant passed the re-take examination and was issued a senior reactor operator license.
In accordance with 10 CFR Part 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) component of NRC's 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). We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this examination.
Sincerely,
/RA/
