SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
ER05000483/2011302; June 8-10, 2011; Callaway Plant; Initial Operator Licensing Examination
Report.
NRC examiner evaluated the competency of one applicant for an instant senior reactor operator license at Callaway Plant.

The facility licensee administered the written examination on June 8, 2011.
The Chief Examiner determined that the applicant satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55, and the appropriate license has been issued.
