SUBJECT:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL
OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000313/2005301
Dear Mr. Forbes:
In a telephone conversation on March 1, 2005 between Mr. Randal Martin, Training Supervisor
and Mr. Mark Haire, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of
licensing examinations at Arkansas Nuclear One during the week of September 12, 2005.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might
be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by May 16, 2005. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by July 14, 2005. Pursuant to
Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (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 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 to 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.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
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. Send comments on any aspect of

Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150- 0018), Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public
