3 SERVED AUG 291988 MEMORANDUM AND FINAL ORDER This case was remanded to me by Order of the Commission in CLI-88-05, 28 NRC (August 8, 1988) "on the specific issue of whether Mr. Held should have been found to have passed or failed the simulator examination."
Slip on. at 2.
Compare Alfred J.
Mnrahito (Senior Operator License for Beaver Valley Power Sta-tion, Unit 1), CLI-88-4, 28 NRC (Re-served August 9, 1988).
(A candidate was found to have passed the required examination for a Senior Reactor Operator [SB0] but to have taken emplevment outside the company's nuclear group before an SRO license was issued to him.
It was determined that he could not be issued an SRO license under 10 CFR Part 55 because the regulation requires that there be e. current need for his services and his change in employment meant that there was no such need.)
The Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Staff), by motion filed Auguct 24, 1988, has withdrawn its response to the Specification of Claims filed by Mr. David W.
Held on October 3, 1987.
Consequently, at Staff's urging, I have determined that the claims of Mr. Held are sustained and I find that David Held
'V 880902007e 000029 SECY LIC55 05560402 PDR
Held Final Order:
2 2
passed the simulator portion of his examination for Senior Reactor Operator.
Since the Staff had previously determined that he had passed the other portions of his examination, it follows that he has passed all the examination requirements to be li-censed as a Senior Reactor Operator for Unit 1 of the Beaver i
Valley Nuclear Power Station.
Consequently, pursuant to Staff's suggestion, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Director of NRR is author-ized to issue a Senior Beactor Operator (SRO) license to Mr.
David Held for Unit 1 of the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, upon a finding by the Director that Mr. Held has met all other applicable requirements in 10 CFB Part 55.
Furthermore, the Staff is directed to convey to Duquesne Light Company, promptly, my request that it submit in writing to the Director of NBR any clarification that it considers appropri-ate about whether it has a current or anticipated need to use Mr. David Held as an SRO on Beaver Valley Unit 1.
$b Peter B. Bloch Presiding Officer Bethesda, Maryland 1 I note that Staff's filing cites the passage of time, Mr.
Held's success in the Beaver Valley Unit 2 580 examination and his successful performance as an SRO at Beavar Valley Unit 2.
My decision, however, rests on Staff's failure to provide a clear explanation to me about its reasons for failing Mr. Held on the simulator examination.
There are no adequate grounds for the Staff's determination that Mr. Held failed the simulator portion of his exam, in light of Mr. Held's extensive, well-presented Specification of Claim.
