SUBJECT:

EXAMINATION REPORT 50-395/97-300

Dear Mr. Taylor:

On December 1 - 5. 1997, the NRC administered examinations to employees of

your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Virgil C. Summer

Nuclear Station. At the conclusion of the examination, the examiners

discussed the examination questions and preliminary findings with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. The written

examination was administered December 12, 1997, transmitted to the NRC in

Rockville. MA . the next week, and received December 16, 1997.

Based on our evaluation of the examination process, your training . staff set

p

and maintained a goal of developing a quality examination that would

discriminate a competent operator from a'less than competent one.

Additionally, your staff's efforts in working with the NRC to develcp the

first facility generated pilot-style initial examination administered at your

facility were considered excellent.

However, the NRC identified numerous

deficiencies in the initial written examination submittal which resulted in

delaying its administration.

A Simulation Facility Report is included in this report as Enclosure 2.

A

copy of the written examir.ation questions and answer key, as noted in

Enclosure 3. was retained by members of your training staff at the conclusion

of the examination.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
