Dear hir. Salmon:
SUBJECT: EXAh11 NATION REPORT NO. 50-333/92-18 (OL)
During the weeks of October 26,1992, and November 2,1992, the NRC administered initial-
examinations to employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the
J. A. FitzPatrick facility. The evaluation addressed areas important to public health and
safety and were conducted in accordance with Revision 6 (1/1/91) to NUREG-1021,
" Operator Licensing Examiner Standards." The purpose of the evaluation was the
examination of the individual operators to determine if they would satisfy the regulatory
requirement of nassing an NRC administered examination prior to license issuance. 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 eight of eleven applicants passed the examination and were well
prepared for the examinations. Your staff is commended for their cooperation during the
examination preparation and administration. Sections 3 and 4 of the enclosed report contain
additional details of the applicants' performance and the NRC Examiners' observations.
During the course of examination administration, examiners made observations in several
areas which could affect safety. The two most significant observations were: 1) the lack of
consistent guidance for diesel generator loading under emergency conditions, and 2) the lack
of adequate guidance for accurately identifying emergency response planning areas when
making protective action recommendations. We request your attention to these two matters.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and
the enclosed report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room. The responses
requested by this letter are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of
hianagement and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Public Law
No.96-511.
