Dear Mr. Patuiski: i

!

This refers to the NRC administered initiallicense examinations conducted by

Mr. J. Lennartz and others the week of October 7,1996. The examinations were i

administered to seven employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate

the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. At the conclusion of the examination

process, preliminary findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in

the enclosed report.

Two applicants failed the operating examination due to unsatisfactory performance on

Administrative Job Performance Measure tasks. Five applicants passed the examinations

and will be issued licenses. However, two of those five applicants demonstrated

performance weaknesses on the administrative tasks. ,

Additionally, an inspection 'o assess an apparent training weakness and procedure

deficiency related to the /b VDC Electrical Distribution System identified during initial

license examination administration was conducted from November 20-27, 1996. Based on

the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC requirements

occurred. This issue is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the circumstances

surrounding the violation are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that

you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice when preparing your response. Include in your response the corrective

actions regarding the 125 VDC Electrical Distibution System training weaknesses and the

performance weaknesses demonstrated on the Administrative Job Performance Measure

Tasks. The NRC will use your response,in part, to determine whether further enforcement

action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
