SUBJECT:
SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL RETAKE EXAMINATION - CRYSTAL
RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT 05000302/2006301
Dear Mr. Young:
During a phone conversation on April 6, 2006, between Mr. Frank Dola, Supervisor, Licensed
Operator Initial Training, and Mr. Mark Bates, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made
for the administration of a licensing retake operating test at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant on
June 8, 2006.
As agreed during this conversation, your staff will prepare three simulator scenarios, two of
which will be administered and one spare. The operating test will be developed based on the
guidelines in Revision 9, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors." The facility has also agreed to make all necessary copies of the operating
test prior to administration. The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes
that might be necessary before the test is administered.
To meet the above schedule, Mr. Dola agreed that your staff will furnish the test outlines by
May 9, 2006, and scenario details and the supporting reference materials identified in
Attachment 2 of ES-201 by May 17, 2006. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized
representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines 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 operating test, it will be necessary for your staff to provide
adequate space and accommodations in your simulation facility. 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 operating test is being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit the preliminary operator
license application (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090),
medical certification (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver request (OMB approval
number 3150-0090) by May 9, 2006.

Washington, DC 20503.

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