SUBJECT:
(NRC EXAMINATION REPORT NOS. 50-269/94-300, 50-270/94-300, AND
50-287/94-300)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered
examinations and inspection activities led by Michael E. Ernstes during the
period of March 7-11, 1994. The examinations were administered to employees
of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Oconee Nuclear
Station. At the conclusion of the examination, the examinations and
preliminary findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the NRC Examination Report, Enclosure 2.
A Simulator Facility Report is included in this report as Enclosure 3. A copy
of the written examination questions and answer key, as noted in Enclosure 6,
was provided to members of your training staff at the conclusion of the
examination.
A copy of the Facility Comments regarding the written examination is included
in this report as Enclosure 4. The NRC Resolution of Facility Comments is
included as Enclosure 5.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice). The violation is of. concern because changes to the
administrative requirements for approval to bypass safety systems without a
procedure should be strictly controlled.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to take to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response
to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of
future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement
action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
