50-316/98305(OL)
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
H
On May.14, 1998, the NRC completed initial operator license retake examinations at your
Donald C. Cook Nuclear Energy Center.
The license applicants'erformance
evaluations were
finalized on June 5, 1998. The enclosed report presents the results of that examination.
Retake examinations were administered to two Senior Reactor Operator license applicants and
two Reactor. Operator applicants that failed the initial examination administered in July 1997.
Allapplicants passed the retake examinations and were issued Senior Reactor Operator or
Reactor Operator licenses.
During the examination the NRC examiners noted a marked improvement in applicant
performance in several areas determined to be significant weaknesses
during the July 1997
examination.
Communications skills, RO use of and compliance with station operating
procedures,
and SRO command and control were areas of improvement.
Due to the small
sample size and lengthy preparation time available to these applicants, this cannot be
considered an accurate assessment
of the current quality of your initial license training
program, but rather an indication of improvements occurring in the training program.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosures to this letter will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
