SUBJECT:
CALVERT CLIFFS UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION REPORT NOs. 50 317/9710(OL) AND
50-318/0710(OL)
Dear Mr. Cruse:
!
This report transmits the findings of the reactor opere. tor (RO) and senior reactor operator
(SRO) licensing operations examinations conducted by NRC examiners during the week of
November 17 - 21,1997, and the written examination administered by your staff on
November 12,1997, at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP) Unit 1 an'i Unit 2
facility. Based on the results of the examinutions, all three RO applicants and two of four
l'~tO applicants passed all portions of the examinations. The remaining SRO applicants did
not pass the written portion of the examination. At the conclusion of the examination,
Mr. L. Briggs discussed the preliminary observations with Messrs. Navin and Millis and
other members of your staff.
These examinations addressed areas important to public health and safety and were
developed and administered under Interim Revision 8 to the Examiner Standards (NUREG-
1021). All segments of the examination were developed by Calvert Cliffs and contractor
personnel, while the NRC provided oversight and final approval prior to tFe administration
of the examinations. Calvert Cliffs training personnel subsequently administered the NRC
approved written examinations, while the operating examinations were administered by the
NRC.
However, we are concerned that the written examination did not appear to receive an
, acceptable level of review prior to the initial submittal to the NRC. This resulted in an
initial submittal that did not meet the guidelines of Interim Revision 8 of NUREG 1021 and
necessitated a needlessly high priority effort to resolve the problem. Specifically, there
was an excessive ' number of questions directed at certain systems and an insufficient
1
)Jb
number of questions on the SRO written examination that were at the SRO level.
,
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.
