SUBJECT: NRC EXAMINATION REPORT NOS. 50-369/99-301 AND 50-370/99-301

Dear Mr. Barron:

On January 25 - February 5,1999, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered

examinations to employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the

McGuire Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2. At the conclusion of the examination, the examiners

discussed the examination questions and preliminary findings with those members of your staff

" identified in the enclosed report. A Simulation Facility Report is included in this report as

Enclosure 2.

Of the eleven senior reactor operators (SRO) and reactor operator (RO) candidates who

received written examinations and operating tests, nine passed the examination (and two

failed), representing an 82 percent pass rate. Six of the eleven candidates were identified as

.

having some knowledge weaknesses on the written examination and three candidates

demonstrated performance weaknesses during the operating test. The individual examination

reports should be reviewed to determine if adjustments to the training program, as well as

. Individual remediation, are needed.

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

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

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me at (404) 562-4638.

Sincerely,

(orig.nal signed by H.O. Christensen)
