SUBJECT:

NRC EXAMINATION REPORT

NOS. 50-250/97-300

AND 50-251/97-300

Dear

Mr . Plunkett:

On September

8 - 17,

1997, the

NRC administered

examinations to employees of

your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Turkey Point Nuclear

Plant Units 3 and 4.

At the conclusion of'he examination,

the examiners

discussed

the examination questions

and preliminary findings with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed

report.

The written

examination

was administered

Sepember

12,

1997, transmitted to the

NRC in

Atlanta the next week,

and received

September

17.

1997.

A Simulation Facility Report is included in this report as Enclosure

2.

A

copy of the written examination questions

and answer

key,

as noted in

Enclosure

3,

was provided to the members of your training staff at the

conclusion of the examination.

During the conduct of examinations,

a compromise of examination security was

identified by your staff and brought to the attention of the Chief Examiner.

While immediate compensatory

actions allowed completion of the operating

tests.

further

NRC investigation

and review will be necessary

befor'e this

issue

can be totally resolved.

This problem is of concern

because

the

administrative controls that were in place apparently failed and because

the

importance of maintaining examination security

had been extensively discussed

with your staff and all license applicants.

Consequently,

issuance of

licenses for applicants

who passed their examination but were directly

involved with this issue is being withheld pending the outcome of the followup

investigation.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's

regulations,

a copy

of'his

letter and the enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Should you have any questions

concerning this examination,

please

contact

me

at (404) 562-4600.

Sincerely
