SUBJECT: EXAMINATION REPORT NOS. 50-277/97 09 AND 278/97-09(OL;
Dear Mr. Smith:
During the period of September 22,1997 to September 26,1997, the NRC administered
initial examinations to 10 employees of your company who had applied for licenses to
operate the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3.
Both of the reactor operator (RO) and sevon of the senior reactor operator (SRO) applicants
passed the examinations and were subsequently 'ssued licenses. One SRO applicant failed
the operating portion of the examination.
The examination was prepared by your staff using the Examiner Standards, NUREG 1021
Rev. 8 as guidance. During the examination developmental process, your staff identified
similarities between the PECO proposed examination and an audit examination
administe od at Public Service Electric and Gas Co.'s Hope Creek Nuclear Generating
Station (HCNGS) during the week of September 1,1997. PECO Energy did a satisfactory
job of con' rolling information regarding the similarities and revised some parts of the
examination to reduce the similarities. While the similarities represented an urecessary,
unfortunato complication of the examination, the NRC detcrmined the examination to be
acceptable. A detailed review of the exam results by PECO and the NRC staff failed to
identify indications that an examination compromise occurred. Accordingly, the
examination was judged to be a valid basis for issuing licenses.
