SUBJECT:
MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - NRC RETAKE EXAMINATION REPORT 05000369/2007302 AND 05000370/2007302
Dear Mr. Peterson:
On June 28, 2007, members of your staff administered an NRC Senior Reactor Operator (SRO)
written retake examination to one employee of your company who had reapplied for a license to operate the McGuire Nuclear Station. The NRC waived the operating examination since the individual passed that portion of the test during the initial examination. On June 29, 2007, the examiner discussed the examination questions and preliminary findings with Mr. Wiley Killette of your staff.
The SRO applicant passed the written examination. There were no post examination 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) 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).
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at (404) 562-4607.
Sincerely,
\\\\RA\\\\
