SUBJECT:
SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 -
NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000361/2005-301; 05000362/2005-301
Dear Mr. Ray:
In a telephone conversation on June 1, 2005 between Mr. Kurt Rauch, Operations Training Manager, and Mr. Tom Stetka, NRC Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, during the week of October 24, 2005.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. The NRCs 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 June 30, 2005. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by August 29, 2005. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (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 materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
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. Additionally, an onsite validation of the examination material will be performed during the week of October 3, 2005. Sufficient staff resources and the simulator should be made available for the examination validation.
Appendix E to 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.

If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
