- CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. The NRC Staff bears some of the responsibility for the cheating which occurred at TMI. They have continued to administer ' routine' examinations despite warnings and recommendations by the Kemeny Commission. They administered the examinations in

' a manner,that facilitated cheating. They failed to provide a system to prevent and detect chnating.

2. The NRC Staff constrained their investigation of the extent of cheating at TMI. They permitted the Licensee to influence the investigation o f cheating.
3. Licensee man'agement had knowledge of, encouraged They were aware and showed negligent failure to prevent cheating.

of cheating prior to the investigations by the NRC. Licensee management administered tests in a manner which facilitated cheating.

They H&9e attempted.to'. cover [upicheating by biased and incomplete investigations. They have accepted the incredible testimony of operators. They have retained and continue to retain employees i

who have cheated. They failed to prevent cheating on Licensee,'

auditor and NRC tests.
