SUBJECT:
GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NRC INITIAL LICENSING EXAMINATION
REPORT 50-416/02-301
Dear Mr. Eaton:
In a telephone conversation on February 20, 2002, between Messrs. Mike Rausch, Senior
Operations Instructor, and Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of an initial licensing examination at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during the week
of August 26, 2002.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on
the guidelines in Revision 8 and Supplement 1, 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 examination is administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by April 28, 2002. The draft examination with supporting reference materials, as
discussed, will be due by June 27, 2002. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized
representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, and examinations 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. A validation of the final examination material will be conducted at your facility the
week of August 12, 2002.
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.
