SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION (EXAMINATION REPORT 05000382/2004-301)
In a telephone conversation on May 17, 2004, between Messrs. Art Vest, Instructor, Operations Training and Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, during the week of November 15, 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." Your support for onsite validation of the examinations is required during the week of October 25, 2004.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to submit the examination outlines by August 14, 2004. The draft written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as specified by the chief examiner will be due by September 21, 2004. Any delay in receiving the 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.

Entergy Operations, Inc. 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.
