SUBJECT: REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS
NORTH ANNA POWER STATION - 50-338/2002-301 AND 50-339/2002-301
Dear Mr. Christian:
In a telephone conversation on September 5, 2001, between Mr. Joe Scott, Supervisor of
Nuclear Training (Operations) and Mr. Ronald F. Aiello, Senior Operations Engineer,
arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the North Anna
Power Station, Units 1 and 2 during the week of June 10, 2002.
The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8, Supplement 1, of
NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will
be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of May 13, 2002. The
facility has agreed to fill in the scenario details (ES-D-2) and the details of the JPMs. The
facility has also agreed to make all of the copies of the examination prior to administration.
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.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor
operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first
examination date. 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.
