SUBJECT:
CALLAWAY PLANT - NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS
(EXAMINATION REPORT 05000483/2004-301)
In a telephone conversation on October 22, 2003, between Messrs. Bruce Moody, Operations
Shift Supervisor, and Gary W. Johnston, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were
made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Callaway Plant during the week of
March 1, 2004.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Draft Revision 9 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. In addition, your support for
onsite validation of the examinations is required during the week of February 9, 2004.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by November 25, 2003. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by February 23, 2004.
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),
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.

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 June 30, 2006.

per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data

of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
