SUBJECT: REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -

CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT 05000302/2005301

Dear Mr. Young:

In a telephone conversation on June 2, 2005, between Mr. Mark Van Sicklen, Supervisor,

Licensed Operator Initial Training, and Mr. Gerry Laska, Senior Operations Examiner,

arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Crystal River

Nuclear Plant. The written exam is scheduled to be administered September 9, 2005. The

operating exam is scheduled to be administered the week of September 12, 2005. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of August 15, 2005.

Crystal River personnel will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, of

NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will

provide the exam material for review as follows: The exam outline by July 6, 2005, the final

written (final draft), the exam scenarios, and the job performance measures (JPMs) by July 26,

2005. The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary

before the examinations are administered. The facility has also agreed to make all necessary

copies of the examinations prior to administration.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials

identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 as discussed during the phone conversation, to the NRC

by June 30, 2005. Any delay in receiving the required reference materials, or the submittal of

inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination 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 of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in

effect while the written examination is being administered.

To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary 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 examination

FPC 2

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 examination date.

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 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, 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 Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJS1@NRC.GOV; and to the

Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0101), Office of

Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection

of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be

available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the

Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS

is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www/nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html (the Public

and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's

examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Gerry Laska at (404) 562-4626,
