SUBJECT: PILGRIM EXAMINATION REPORT 50-293/97-006 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Boulette:
During the period of May 5- 9,1997, the NRC administered initial examinations to six
employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Station. At the conclusion of the examinations, the preliminary findings were
discussed with Mr. Olivier and members of your staff.
Five of the six applicants passed the examinations. One applicant failed the written and
operating portion of the examination. The five applicants that passed were well prepared
for the examination.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC
requirements occurre 1. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice)
and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the subject inspection
report. As described in the attached Notice and inspection report, we concluded that two
applications were deficient in that the applicants had not completed the five significant
control manipulations as required by 10 CFR 55.31(a)(5) in a manner that we found
acceptable. Although the applicants met your program guidance, which was reasonable,
we concluded that multiple credit should not be granted when one set of controls was
manipulated over an extended power change.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part,
to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
regulatory requirements.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter
1
and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
