SUBJECT:

LICENSED OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAM INSPECTION PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Crane:

In a telephone conversation on January 30, 2007, Mr. John Caruso, Senior Operations Inspector/Examiner, and Mr. Tom VanWyen, Operations Training Manager, made arrangements for the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Peach Bottom facility. The inspection is planned for the week of February 20, 2007, 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs.

Mr.

VanWyen has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
