Dear Mr. Reddemann:

In response to your facility management letter dated September 27,2001,and as augmented by discussions with Chuck Sizemore of your staff on January IO, 2002,we have tentatively scheduled an initial licensing examination for your operator license applicants at the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant during the weeks of September 29 and October 6,2003. Validation of the examination will occur at the station during the week of August 25, 2003. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.

As stated in your letter, your staff will develop the examination. To support the examination administration date, we have tentatively scheduled the date of August 4,2003 to begin our review of your submitted examination.

Your letter indicated you are training approximately 16 candidates for the examination. Please inform us if the number of candidates declines below 10 as this will impact the examination schedule. Please also inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you are unable to support the examination on the scheduled dates.

Once your staff has determined a schedule for examination development, please have them contact the Chief Examiner to arrange for a suitable examination outline submittal date for NRC review. The intent is for the examination outline to be submitted early in the examination development process. This is to preclude the need to make significant changes to developed examination material as a result of the NRC review of the outline.

Michael E. Bielby has been tentatively assigned as the Chief Examiner and can be reached at 630-829-9762.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the training department approximately 120 days prior to the examination outlining examination security expectations, listing the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirming the examination dates, and reconfirming the number of candidates you have in the training program. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Dell R. McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.

M. Reddemann In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS).

Dear Mr. Coutu:

In a telephone conversation on January 27, 2003, between Mr. S. Johnson, Kewaunee Initial License Training Exam Lead, and Mr. C. Zoia, NRC Examiner, preliminary arrangements were made for the administration of initial licensing examinations at the Kewaunee Nuclear Generating Plant during the weeks of February 2, 2004, and February 9, 2004. The Chief Examiner for this examination is C. Phillips. Also, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility during the week of January 12, 2004.

The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-I 021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. As discussed in the telephone call, it is your staffs option whether these examinations are prepared per NUREG 1021, Revision 8, Supplement 1, or NUREG 1021, Revision 9 (Draft). Please indicate your choice, in writing, as soon as possible, but no later than March 15, 2003. Your staff will be given an opportunity to review the written examination on January 7-8, 2004, at the Region 111 office. Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the written examination and operating test material at Kewaunee Nuclear Generating Plant during the validation week.

In order to meet this schedule, your staff must furnish the reference materials identified in NUREG 1021, ES-201, Attachment 2, no later than March 15, 2003. Any delay in receiving the required 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 is 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.

CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL/REQUALIFICATION OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS

Dear Mr. Coutu,

In a telephone conversation on June 17,2003,between Mr. D. McNeil of my staff and Mr.

D. Fitzwater, Kewaunee Operations Supervisor - LOR, it was confirmed that an initial license examination was scheduled to occur during the weeks of February 2, 2004, and February 9, 2004. On-site validation of the examination will occur at the station approximately 3 weeks before the examination administration. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.

We confirmed with Mr. Fitzwater that Region Ill examiners will develop the examination. We understand that you are training nine candidates for the examination. Please inform us if the number of candidates declines below seven as this will impact the examination schedule.

Finally, Mr. Fitzwater confirmed that the week of July 12,2004,scheduled for the biennial requalification program inspection (IP 711 1 1.I 1 B), was still within the anticipated requalification examination administration cycle. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled dates for either of the examinations.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the training department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination informing them of the chief examiners name. The letter will also outline examination security expectations, list the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirm the examination dates, and reconfirm the number of candidates you have in the training program. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. D.McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION 111 801 WARRENVILLE ROAD LISLE, ILLINOIS 60532-4351 October 16, 2003 Mr. Thomas Coutu Site Vice President Kewaunee Nuclear Plant Nuclear Management Company, LLC N490 Hwy 42 Kewaunee, WI 54216-951 1

Dear Mr. Coutu:

In a telephone conversation on October 15, 2003, between Mr. S. Johnson, Kewaunee Initial License Training Exam Lead, and Mr. C. Phillips, NRC Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant the weeks of February 2 and February 9, 2004. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of January 12, 2004.

The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8, Supplement 1, of NUREG-I 021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations in the Region Ill office on January 7 and 8, 2004, and during the Validation Week of January 12, 2004.

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) (OM6 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.
