Dear Mr. Hills:
The purpose of this letter is to change our March 16, 2000 request for an initial operating license examination date at Monticello.
In our March 16, 2000 letter we requested an examination date in April of 2002. We no longer require an examination date at that time.
We now request an examination date in August of 2002. At this time we anticipate six initial reactor operator candidates and two initial senior reactor operator candidates.
We will prepare the RO and SRO examinations at Monticello.
Please verify that you can support this schedule and send confirmation to me at your earliest convenience.
If you have any questions, please call Mike Mitchell at (612) 295-1569.

Dear Mr. Morris:
In response to your facility letters dated March 16, 2000, and September 25, 2000, we have tentatively scheduled an initial licensing examination for your operator license applicants at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant during the week of September 2, 2002. Validation of the examination will occur at the station during the week of July 29, 2002. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled week, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.
As stated in your letters and confirmed in a telephone conversation between M. Mitchell, Monticello, and D. R. McNeil, NRC, on February 27, 2001, your staff will develop the examination. To support the examination administration date, we have tentatively scheduled the date of July 15, 2002, to begin our review of your submitted examination.
Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you are unable to support the examination on the scheduled dates.
Once your staff has determined a schedule for examination development, please have them contact the Chief Examiner to arrange for a suitable examination outline submittal date for NRC review. The intent is for the examination outline to be submitted early in the examination development process. This is to preclude the need to make significant changes to developed examination material as a result of the NRC review of the outline. Mr. Dell R. McNeil has been tentatively assigned as the Chief Examiner and can be reached at 630-829-9737.
A supplementary letter will be sent to the training department approximately 120 days prior to the examination outlining examination security expectations, listing the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirming the examination dates, and reconfirming the number of candidates you have in the training program. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. Dell R. McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.

May 13, 2002 Mr. J. Forbes Site Vice-President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Nuclear Management Company, LLC 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637
Dear Mr. Forbes:
In a telephone conversation on May 8, 2002, between Mr. Marv Engen, Operations Training Instructor, and Mr. D. McNeil, Reactor Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant the week of September 9, 2002. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of July 29, 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 was necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by May 5, 2002. Your staff provided those outlines on May 2, 2002. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by July 8, 2002. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations, and tests 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.
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),
p)j)j 6)c;ý/Y%';/17
J. Forbes 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.
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 is estimated to average 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, D.C. 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJS1@NRC.GOV; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C. 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. Engen 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 Dell McNeil at 630-829-9737, or me at 630-829-9733.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).
