SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS
ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT - 05000335/2006301 AND 05000389/2006301
Dear Mr.Stall:
In a telephone conversation on November 9, 2005, between Mr. Doug Lauterbur, Operations
Training Manager, and Mr. Gerry Laska, NRC Senior Operations Examiner, arrangements
were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The
operating tests will be administered during the weeks of March 20, and March 27, 2006. The
written examination will be administered during the week of March 27, 2006. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of February 27, 2006.
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 NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might
be necessary before the examination is administered. Your staff will also provide copying
services for administering the exam.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outlines by January 3, 2006. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by February 3, 2006.
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 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 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
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 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, 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, (3150-0101), 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 NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system
