SUBJECT:
REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Solymossy:
In a telephone conversation on May 9, 2003, Mr. James Lash, Operations Training Superintendent, and Mr. Bruce Palagi, Region III Chief Examiner, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of July 28, 2003, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.
In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRCs inspection program needs.
