SUBJECT:

FERMI 2 NUCLEAR POWER STATION NRC INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION REPORT 50-341/03-302(DRS)

Dear Mr. OConnor:

On July 7, 2003, the NRC completed an initial operator licensing reexamination at your Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed report presents the results of the examination.

Members of the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Station Training staff administered the written examination on July 7, 2003, to one Reactor Operator (RO) applicant who had previously failed the written examination administered on March 17, 2003. The results of the examination were finalized on July 17, 2003, showing the applicant passed the written examination. The applicant passed the operating test administered the week of March 10, 2003, and therefore has now passed all sections of his examination.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.790 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/
