Enclosure 2, "Applicant Responsibilities for the Written Examination," describes applicant responsibilities during the administration of the written examination. Please ensure that all applicants are aware of these rules.
Your review of the written examination will be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in Enclosure 3, "Facility Review of Written Examinations."
Final, signed senior reactor operator license applications certifying that all training has been completed must be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination dates.

Therefore, it is recommended that license applications be provided as soon as possible to ensure an appropriate level of review.
