Dear Mr. Scarola:

In a telephone conversation on August 29, 2006, Mr. Ronald F.

The inspection is planned for the week of November 13, 2006, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program. It is our understanding that your simulator is committed to ANSI/ANS-3.5-1998, American National Standard for Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for use in Operator Training and Examination.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC has requested that you submit (two weeks prior to the inspection/make ready upon arrival), the material as specified in the enclosure, in order to support the NRC's inspection program needs.
