SUBJECT:

SEABROOK STATION OPERATOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION REPORT NO. 50-443/03-301

Dear Mr. Warner:

This report transmits the results of the Reactor Operator (RO) and Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) licensing examination developed and conducted by the NRC during the period of May 30, 2003 through June 4, 2003. This examination addressed areas important to public health and safety and was developed and administered using the guidelines of the Examination Standards for Power Reactors (NUREG-1021, Revision 8, Supplement 1).

Based on the results of the examination, four of five Senior Reactor Operator and four of the five Reactor Operator applicants passed all portions of the examination. One Senior Reactor Operator and one Reactor Operator applicant failed the simulator portion (Part C operating test) of the examination. Examination results indicated that generally the applicants were well prepared for the examination. On July 1, 2003, the NRC provided final examination results, including individual license numbers, during a telephone call between Mr. R. Conte and Mr. K.

Wright and others of your staff. No findings of significance were identified.

We appreciate the substantial assistance your staff, in particular Mr. Wright, provided us related to the review and comments on the NRC developed initial examination for regional proficiency and examiner certification. If you so desire, we would appreciate any comments to further improve the process.

In accordance with 10 CFR 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 NRCs document system (ADAMS).
