Dear Mr. Kerns:

Enclosed are the exams for two members of your staff who attended the following course:

Internal Dosimetry and Whole B ody Counting (H-302)

King of Prussia, Pennsylvarsia - January 12-16,1998 The course examination results indicate that the individuals did not meet the minimum standard for successful completion of the courses, which is a grade of 70%. The NRC policy on successful completion of NRC training for Agreement States was sent to you by letter dated November 20,1996 (SP-96-118). For your information, NRC does not consider its staff qualified until, at a minimum, the exams for required courses are successfully completed. Non-qualified NRC staff are not permitted to conduct independent inspections and license reviews in areas which they have not successfully completed the minimum training requirements.

You should consider recommending additional study of the course material or additional training for the individuals. When the individuals are prepared to take a re-examination, please contact the person designated in SP-96-118. You, or another manager in your program, should oversee administration of the examination to the individuals. The individuals may re-take the course, if space is available. We have not notified the individuals of their course results and request that you discuss the results with them and their options for successful completion.

If you need additionalinformation, please contact me at 301-415-2326 or Dennis Sollenberger at 301-415-2819.
