SUBJECT:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION NOTIFICATION (EXAMINATION
REPORT 50-368/03-301
In a telephone conversation on January 10, 2003, between Mr. Mayfield, Arkansas Nuclear One,
Unit 2, Operations Training Supervisor, and Mr. Drake, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, during the week of
July 14, 2003.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff and 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." The NRC regional office will discuss
with your staff any changes that might be necessary to the portion of the examination prepared
by your staff before the examinations are administered. Your support for onsite validation of the
examinations is required during the week of June 23, 2003. Your staff will be given the
opportunity to review the NRC prepared portion of the examinations during this time.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the information for the
examination outlines by March 16, 2003. The written examinations, operating tests, and the
supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as specified by the chief
examiner will be due by May 15, 2003. Any delay in receiving the required portion of the
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.
