SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION -
TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT 05000250/2007301 AND 05000251/2007301
Dear Mr. Stall:
In a telephone conversation on July 19, 2006, between Mr. Gregory Laughlin, Operations Initial
Licensing Training Supervisor, and Mr. Ronald F. Aiello, Senior Operations Engineer,
arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at your Turkey Point
Nuclear Plant. The operating test is scheduled for the period of January 22 - February 9, 2007.
The written examination is scheduled to be administered on February 12, 2007. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of January 8, 2007.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the written
examination and the operating test 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 examinations are
administered. Your staff has also agreed to make all copies of the examination materials prior
to administration.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outlines by October 23, 2006. The supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of
ES-201, the written examination and the operating test will be due by November 27, 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. We request that any personal,
proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a
separate enclosure and appropriately marked. 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 test, 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.
2
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
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,
2009. 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 NRCs 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 NRCs 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. Laughlin 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 Mr. Ronald F. Aiello at (404) 562-4641,
(Internet E-mail: rfa@nrc.gov), or me at (404) 562-4647, (Internet E-mail: jhm2@nrc.gov).
Sincerely,
