SUBJECT:
WATERFORD 3 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING
EXAMINATION (EXAMINATION REPORT 05000285/2006-301)
In a telephone conversation on May 2, 2006, between Messrs. Jim Hall, Operations Training
Supervisor, and Jim Drake, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of
licensing examinations at Waterford 3 during the week of November 13, 2006.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for
Power Reactors." Your support for onsite validation of the examinations is required during the
week of October 16, 2006.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to submit the examination
outlines by August 14, 2006. The draft written examinations, operating tests, and the
supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as specified by the
chief examiner will be due by September 11, 2006. Any delay in receiving the examination and
reference materials, or the submission 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 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.
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

been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
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

and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-

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