SUBJECT: REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS
TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT - 50-250/2002-301 AND 50-251/2002-301
Dear Mr. Stall:
In a telephone conversation on March 20, 2002, between Mr. Rich Bretton, Operation Initial
Licensing Training Supervisor, and Mr. Steven D. Rose, Operations Engineer, arrangements
were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Turkey Point Nuclear Plant during
the week of October 7, 2002 (operating test) and October 14, 2002 (written examination). The
on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of September 16, 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 August 26, 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.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials
identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 by April 15, 2002. Any delay in receiving the required
reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the
examination 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.
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.
FP&L 2
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary 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 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 examination date.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of
Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2003. The
public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the
Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJS1@NRC.GOV; and to the
Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0101), Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Rich Bretton has been advised of the
policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Steven D. Rose at (404) 562-4609,
(Internet E-mail: SDR2@NRC.GOV), Ron Aiello at (404) 562-4641, (Internet E-mail:
