SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-483/99-07

Dear Mr. Randolph:

This ret

to the inspection conducted on August 9 to 13,1999, at the Callaway Plant facility.

The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

The purpose of this inspection was primarily to evaluate the effectiveness of the licensed

operators' requalification program. The inspectors used the annual licensed operator

requalification examinations to assess licensed operator performance. The inspectors also

evaluated the operations training staff in the development, administration, and evaluation of the

biennial requalification examination. Overall, we observed improved licensed operator

communications during the inspection. The operations training staff developed, and

administered, the requalification examinations professionally and accurately.

We are concerned about the performance of operating crews in the simulator portion of the

operating test. The two crews observed during the inspection both failed to implement timely

corrective actions. We will continue to monitor crew performance indicators and your licensed

operator continuing, training program,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them

with you.

Sincerely,

/{,(e h
