REPLY TO NRC REGULATORY ISSUE
SUMMARY
(RIS) 2003-14, PREPARATION AND SCHEDULING OF OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS This letter responds to the subject NRC RIS dated August 27, 2003.
In the RIS, NRC requested specific information related to: (A) proposed examination preparation schedule for the number of examinations that need to be prepared during calendar years (CY) 2004-2007, (B) schedule for initial operator license examinations, including the number of applicants to be tested and the proposed primary and alternate dates of the examinations, and (C) proposed generic fundamentals examination (GFE) schedule, including the number of candidates that plan to take the GFE in CY 2004 and 2005.
Enclosed is a completed NRC FORM 536, Operator Licensing Examination Data, which provides BFN's current schedules for the specific information requested in the RIS.
Although 10 CFR 55, Operator Licenses, allows licensees to select who will prepare, proctor, and grade written examinations required by 10 CFR 55.41 and 55.43, BFN plans to use NRC prepared examinations for the operator examinations scheduled to be administered at BFN during calendar years 2004 through 2007.
