Dear Mr. Sumner:

In a telephone conversation on August 4, 2004, Mr. Timothy Kolb, Operations Examiner, and Mr. Steve Grantham, Operations Training Superintendent, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Hatch Nuclear Power Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of September 20, 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 (one week prior to the inspection/make ready upon arrival), the material as specified in the Enclosure, in order to support the NRCs inspection program needs.
