Dear Mr. Sylvia:
SUBJECT:
EXAMINATIONREPORT NO. 50-410/92-06 (OL)
During the weeks of May 11 and 18, 1992, the NRC administered initial examinations to
employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Nine Mile Point
Station, Unit 2.
A requalification retake examination-was
also administered
to a reactor
operator.
At the conclusion of the examinations,
the preliminary findings were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
The test results indicate that the reactor operator passed
his requalification retake examination
and twelve of the fourteen candidates
passed all portions of the initial examination.
Two
reactor operator candidates
failed the written portion of the exam.
We had some-difficulty in preparing an operationally oriented examination.
This was because
the reference material provided for examination preparation was incomplete, lacked detail,
and did not have well-developed learning objectives in a number of cases.
A number of
procedura1 deficiencies were noted also.
During the process of application review, it became clear that eligibilityrequirements for
reactor and senior reactor operator candidates
were not clearly defined in facility procedures
used to evaluate candidate eligibility.
We have discussed
these issues with your staff at the exit meeting and in a telephone
conversation on July 1, 1992.
It was agreed during the telephone call that a meeting with
your staff would be scheduled for late August or September
to continue discussions
on these
issues.
Section 2 of the enclosed report provides the details.
ln accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations,
a copy of this letter and
its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
