SUBJECT:

SCHEDULING AND DETAILS OF THE MAY 2005 INITIAL LICENSING EXAMINATION AT PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Malone:

In a telephone conversation on August 2, 2004, between Mr. G. Smith, Initial License Training Supervisor, and Mr. D. McNeil, Reactor Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Palisades Nuclear Plant the weeks of May 23, and May 30, 2005. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of April 25, 2005. Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations at that time.

The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Draft Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." If Draft Revision 9 of NUREG-1021 is issued in final format during the examination preparation time, the examination will be completed in accordance with the instructions issued in Final Revision 9 of NUREG-1021.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 at your earliest convenience. Any delay in receiving the required reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. We will send a follow-up letter approximately 120 days before the examination to provide the chief examiners name and final details on administration of the examination. 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 developed and administered.

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 is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and
