SUBJECT:
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION REPORT 50-331/99301(OL)
Dear Mr. Franz:
On May 25,1999, your training staff administered an NRC approved initial operator licensing
retake examination at your Duane Amold Energy Center (DAEC) Nuclear Station. At the
conclusion of the examination process, preliminary findings were discussed with those
members of your training staff identified in the enclosed report. The applicant's license
,
performance evaluation was finalized and those members of your staff were informed of the
results on June 4,1999.
'
Your staff administered a written examination to one reactor operator applicant who had
previously demonstrated unsatisfactory results during the July 1998 initial operator licensing
examination. This was the DAEC training department staff's second opportunity to develop an
operator licensing examination under the guidelines contained in NUREG-1021, Operator
i
Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Interim Revision 8. The applicant
passed the retake examination.
1
The high number of questions submitted by your staff that did not meet NUREG-1021 guidance
demonstrated opportunities for improvement in your staff's examination writing skills and
knowledge.
In accordarece with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosures to this letter will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
Original /s/ D. E. Hills
