SUBJECT:

REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION

Dear Mr. OConner:

In a conversation on August 5, 2005, Mr. A. Mann, General Supervisor Operations Training and Mr. M. Bielby, Lead Inspector, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Fermi Power Plant. The inspection is planned for the week of October 24, 2005, 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by October 14, 2005. Additionally, to facilitate the efficient conduct of this inspection, please have available on site for review, the documents listed in the enclosure. Mr. Mann has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
