SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - 05000261/2004-301
Dear Mr. Moyer
In a telephone conversation on April 19, 2004, between Mr. Mike Milbee, Lead Operations
Instructor, and Mr. Edwin Lea, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The
written examinations are scheduled to be given on August 27, 2004, and the operating tests are
scheduled to be given August 30 through September 10, 2004. The on-site preparatory week
is scheduled for the week of August 16, 2004.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination 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 examination is administered. Your staff will also provide copying
services for administering the exam.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by June 14, 2004. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by July 12, 2004. Pursuant
to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the
outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use. Any delay in receiving the required
examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials,
may cause the examination 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.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
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. The
public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, writing the examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

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