SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT - 05000400/2006301
Dear Mr. Scarola:
In a telephone conversation on August 22, 2005, between Mr. Rob Bigsby, Senior Nuclear
Operations Instructor and Mr. Edwin Lea, Jr., Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were
made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Harris Nuclear Plant during the
weeks of January 23 and 30, 2006. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of
January 9, 2006.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors, Revision 9. The NRC 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 October 1, 2005. The written examinations and operating tests, as well as the
supporting reference materials identified in NUREG 1021, ES-201, Attachment 2, Reference
Material Guidelines For Initial Licensing Examinations, will be due by November 18, 2005.
Pursuant to 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 NUREG 1021, ES-402, Administering Initial Written Examinations and to make the simulation facility
available on the dates noted above. In accordance with NUREG 1021, ES-302, Administering
Operating Tests To Initial License Applicants, 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 examinations and operating tests are being administered.
2
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.
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 Part 55 (3150-0018), which expires on June 30,
2006. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 500
hours 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 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, (3150-0018), 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
Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Bigsby has been advised of the policies and
guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination
procedures and guidelines, please contact Edwin Lea at (404) 562-4567, (Internet E-mail:
exl2@nrc.gov) or me at (404) 562-4647, (Internet E-mail: jhm2@nrc.gov).
Sincerely,
