SUBJECT:

EXAMINATION REPORT 05000298/2005-302

Dear Mr.Eddington:

In a telephone conversation on September 29, 2005, between Messrs. Dave Tune, Operations

Training Superintendent, and Michael Murphy, NRC Chief Examiner, arrangements were made

for the administration of a licensing written retake examination at the Cooper Nuclear Station on

October 21, 2005.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare and administer 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.

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.
