SUBJECT:

REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS

CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION - 50-413/03-301 AND 50-414/03-301

Dear Mr. Peterson:

In a telephone conversation on January 30, 2003, between Mr. John A. Suptela, Supervisor

Initial Training, and Mr. Edwin Lea, Senior Operations Engineer, Mr. Suptela agreed that the

upcoming examinations scheduled for your Catawba Nuclear Station, will be developed using

the guidelines in Draft Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards

for Power Reactors, instead of Revision 8 of NUREG-1021. You were informed of

arrangements made to develop the licensing examinations using Revision 8 of NUREG-1021 in

a letter to you, dated December 5, 2002.

In the letter dated December 5, 2002, you were informed of the examination material

requirements and the time-line in which the materials should be submitted to the NRC in order

to assure that the examinations would be given on their scheduled dates. The required

materials and their submittal dates, as identified in the December 5, 2002, letter will remain the

same, with the following exceptions: examination outlines due date is February 7, 2003, and the

written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in

Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by February 14, 2003.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Suptela 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 Edwin Lea at (404) 562-4567, (Internet E-mail:

EXL2@NRC.GOV), George Hopper at (404) 562-4645, (Internet E-mail: GTH1@NRC.GOV), or

myself at (404) 562-4638, (Internet E-mail: MEE@NRC.GOV).

Sincerely,
