SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE RE-TAKE EXAMINATION:
KEWAUNEE NUCLEAR STATION
Dear Mr. Christian:
In a letter dated April 7, 2006, (Serial No.06-173),
your staff requested we schedule an initial license operator examination in August 2006. In a subsequent telephone conversation on April 13, 2006, between Mr. G. F. Winks Ill, Kewaunee Station Training Manager, m d Mr. D. R. McNeil, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were finalized for the administration of a written re-take examination for two license applicants who failed the written examination during the initial licensed operator examination administered during the month of November 2005. The requested examination has been scheduled to be administered during the week of August 7, 2006. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled week, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will develop the re-take written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled examination date.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outline during the week of May 8, 2006. The written examination and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 will be due to the chief examiner by June 12, 2006. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations, an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outline and written examination 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 examination to be rescheduled. The chief examiner (D. R. McNeil) will contact the examination author vial telephone with any requested examination modifications after the regional review of the examination is completed. The chief examiner will then be on-site during the week of July 24, 2006, to review any requested changes and to complete validation of the proposed examination. Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination is being developed and administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMS) approval number 31 50-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3 150-0024), and waiver requests (OM6 approval number 31 50-0090) at least 30 days before the scheduled examination week. If the preliminary applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement of the examination may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the 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 31 50-001 8, which expires on June 30, 2006. The public reporting burden for this collection 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, 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-5 F53), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20503-0001.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Winks 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. Dell McNeil at (630) 829-9737, or me at (630) 829-9707.
