SUBJECT:
INITIAL EXAMINATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-313/99 301; 50-368/99-301
Dear Mr. Hutchinson in a telephone conversation on' June 2,1999, between Mr. Giles, Operations Training
,
Supervisor, and Mr. Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, during the week of December 13, 1999.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8 of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by August 2,1999. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials, as discussed, will be due by September 20,1999. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use. Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materlats, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. A validation of the final examination material will be conducted at your facility the week of November 15,1999.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402, and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302, your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final.
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
