Dear Mr. Peterson:

In a telephone conversation on April 12, 2004, Mr. Steven Helms, Supervisor, Nuclear Operations Training, and Richard S.

The inspection is planned for the week of May 24, 2004, 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. It is our understanding that your simulator is committed to ANSI Standard 3.5, 1985.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC has requested that you submit (two weeks prior to the inspection/make ready upon arrival), the material as specified in enclosure one, in order to support the NRCs inspection program needs. Mr. Helms has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
