LASALLE COUNTY STATION - CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATION

Dear Mr. Crane:

In a letter (RS-04-093) dated July 14, 2004, your staff requested we schedule an initial license operator examination in November 2006. Per communication on February 23, 2005, between Mr. C. Dieckmann, LaSalle Training Director, and Mr. D. McNeil of my staff, we have tentatively scheduled the requested examination to occur during the week of November 13, 2006. On-site validation of the examination is tentatively scheduled to occur at the station during the week of October 23, 2006. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.

As stated in your letter, your staff will develop the examination. Your letter indicated that you are training approximately six candidates for the examination. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled date for the examination.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the training department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination informing them of the chief examiner's name. The letter will also outline examination security expectations, list the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirm the examination dates, and reconfirm the number of candidates you have in the training program. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. Dell McNeil of my staff at (630) 829-9737.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and

Response to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-19 Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations

Reference:

NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RE) 2005-19, Preparation and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations, dated August 24, 2005.

In the Reference letter, the NRC requested licensees to voluntarily submit a response concerning initial operator licensing examination needs, including an estimate of the number of applicants to be examined and intentions regarding the preparation of the examinations.

Attachments 1 through 10 provide the responses to RIS 2005-19 for the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) and AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen) plants identified above. The operator licensing examination information for each facility is provided on a separate NRC Form 536.

During Calendar Year (CY) 2007, a total of 6 candidates are expected to take the dual site Limited Senior Reactor Operator (LSRO) initial license examination as indicated in Attachment

6. The schedule for the indicated exam is as follows: the written exam and part of the operating exam will be given at Limerick Generating Station (LGS); the remainder of the operating exam will be completed at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS). Since the LSRO exam is a dual site exam that involves both LGS and PBAPS, rather than repeating the same information on both attachments, the exam scheduting information is provided on Attachment 6 for LGS only and Attachment 8 for PBAPS references Attachment 6.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

July 24, 2006 Mr. Christopher M. Crane President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

Dear Mr. Crane:

In a telephone conversation on July 18, 2006, between Mr. Don Puckett, Jr., ILT Lead and Mr. Dell McNeil, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the LaSalle County Station the weeks of November 13 and November 20, 2006. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of October 23, 2006.

The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of October 23, 2006. Your staff has already provided the reference material identified in ES 201, Attachment 2, necessary for NRC examiners to write the written examination and the operating test.

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 31 50-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 31 50-0024),

and waiver requests (if any) (OM6 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 7995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009. The public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 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. 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJSI @nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (31 50-001 8), Office of Management and Budget, 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 OM6 control number.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Puckett 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at httrx//www.nrc.aov/readinq-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
