January 30, 2007 Mr. Christopher M. Crane President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

Dear Mr. Crane:

In a telephone conversation on January 11, 2007, between Mr. Michael Bielby of the NRC and Mr. Roger Armitage of Exelon, arrangements were confirmed for the administration of licensing examinations at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station during the weeks of June 4 to June 12, 2007.

In addition, the NRC modified its examination validation visit to your facility from the week of May 14, 2007, to the week of April 16, 2007, based on availability of operators during a plant outage.

The NRC is preparing 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 onsite week.

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.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Mark Jensen 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 Raymond Keith Walton at 630-829-9836, or me at 630-829-9707.
