Docket No. 50-302
License No. DPR-72

Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NRC EXAMINATION REPORT NO. 50-302/93-300
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered
examinations led by D. Charles Payne during the period of May 10-11, 1993 and
May 24-28, 1993.
Initial examinations were administered to employees of your
company who had applied for licenses to operate Crystal River Unit 3.
Also,
requalification retake examinations were administered to employees of your
company who currently hold licenses to operate this facility. 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 1.
.
A Simulator 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 members of your training staff at the conclusion of the
examination.
We are concerned with the poor overall pass rate of your icatial license
candidates during this examination. Your facility's pass rate of 75 percent
is considerably less than our expectation of about a nine out of ten pass
rate. Additionally, two
'her candidates just marginally passed the written
examination.
Given the
age of pass / fail grades on the written examination
it appears that some candidates were not adequately prepared to take this
examination and your audit process failed to identify those candidates needing
additional training before sitting for de NRC licensing examination.
You are
invited to respond, within 30 days of the date of this letter, with your plans
to assure that only well prepared and fully qualified candidates are submitted
to the.NRC for operator licensing.
In June 1992, nine candidates from your facility participated in the Generic
Fundamentals Examination. Of the nine candidates examined, eight passed for
!
an 89 percent pass rate.
.In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
