SUBJECT:

FERMI POWER PLANT NRC INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION REPORT 050000341/2006302(DRS)

Dear Mr. Cobb:

On August 8, 2006, members of the Fermi Power Plant Training staff administered the written retake examination to two Reactor Operator (RO) applicants who had previously failed the written examination administered on March 10, 2006. The results of the examination were finalized on August 16, 2006, showing the applicants passed the written examination. The applicants previously passed the operating test administered the week of March 6, 2006, and therefore, have now passed all sections of the license examination. The enclosed report documents the results of the examination which were discussed on August 16, 2006, with Mr. Edwin Kokosky, and with other members of your staff.

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) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), 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/
