November 15, 2002 Mr. Bryce L. Shriver Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Susquehanna Steam Electric Station PPL Susquehanna, LLC 769 Salem Blvd., NUCSB3 Berwick, PA 18603-0035
SUBJECT:
SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS (RETAKE) -
SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Shriver:
In telephone conversation on November 13, 2002 between Mr. Alan Blamey, Examiner/Inspector, and Mr. Walter Hunt, Manager, Nuclear Training, arrangements were made for the administration of a retake licensing examination at Susquehanna, on December 11, 2002.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8, 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 examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish your final examination outline by Wednesday, November 20, 2002. The operating test (Category B, Control Room Systems and Facility Walk-Through) and the supporting reference materials requested by Mr.
Blamey will be due by Monday, November 25, 2002. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines and Category B test before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials should 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 retake examination, 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.
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 the signed 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 14 days before the examination date. If the
Mr. Robert G. Byram applications are not received at least 14 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary.
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 less than 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, writing the examinations, 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 SLF@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. Walter Hunt has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Alan Blamey at (610) 337-5366, or me at (610) 337-5183.
Sincerely,
/RA/
