11 MS. VIETTI-COOK:

The Commission is being asked to 12 act on a final rule amending 10 CPR Part 55 to allow power i

13 reactor facility licensees to prepare the initial operator 14 licensing examinations.

The Commission, with Commissioners 15 Dicus, McGaffigan and Merrifield agreeing, has voted to 16 approve the publication and implementation of this final 17 rule, subject to removing the restriction which precludes 18 -

instructors from preparing questions related to those topics 19 on which they provided instruction.

The restrictions should 20 be revised to be consistent with the restrictions on 21 requalification examinations which allow any instructor to 22 prepare the initial operating examination as long as they 23 refrain from teaching the applicants after starting work to 24 prepare the examination.

25 Chairman Jackson and Commissioner Diaz disapprove l
