COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 -
NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
05000445/2005302; 05000446/2005302
Dear Mr. Blevins:
In a telephone conversation on May 25, 2005, between Messrs. Steve Sewell, Operations
Training Manager, and Tom Stetka, NRC Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of a licensing written retake examination at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric
Station during the week of September 12, 2005.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination 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 examination is administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outline by July 1, 2005. The written examination and supporting reference materials
identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by August 1, 2005. Pursuant to Title 10,
Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations, an authorized representative of the
facility licensee shall approve the outline and written examination before they are submitted to
the NRC for review and approval. The examination 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 examination
to be rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examination, it will be necessary for your staff to
provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402.
Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be
in effect while the written examination is being administered.
