Dear Mr. Balduzzi:

In a telephone conversation on June 20, 2003, Mr. J.H. Williams, Examiner/Inspector, and Mr. M.

The inspection is planned for the week of September 7, 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. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the examination schedule, sample plan, and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by August 22, 2003. Mr. Santiago has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
