NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
05000361/2007301; 05000362/2007301
Dear Mr. Rosenblum:
In a telephone conversation on December 6, 2006, between Messers. K. Clayton, Chief
Examiner, and A. Hagemeyer, Operations Training Supervisor, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station during
the weeks of June 4 and June 11, 2007.
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. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might
be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by February 4, 2007. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due by April 5, 2007. [Pursuant
to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (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 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,
Southern California Edison Company -2-
temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination
results are final.
Appendix E to 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 OMB, under
approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009. The public reporting burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average hours per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, 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 to 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 neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, 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 NRCs Public
Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible
from the Electronic Reading Room page of the NRCs public Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs examination
procedures and guidelines, please contact at , or myself at 817-860-8159.
