SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT 05000302/2007301
Dear Mr. Young:
In a telephone conversation on April 26, 2007, between Mr. Frank Dola, Supervisor, Licensed
Operator Initial Training, and Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were
made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant.
Arrangements were made to administer the written examination during the week of October 29,
2007 and the operating test during the weeks of October 22, 2007 and October 29, 2007. The
on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of October 1, 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 NRC 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 August 17, 2007. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by September 7, 2007.
Pursuant to 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,
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 examination is being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and
senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval
2
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 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 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 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009. The
public reporting burden for this collection of information 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-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJS1@NRC.GOV; and to the
Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0101), Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
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 document system (ADAMS). ADAMS
is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www/nrc.gov/readingrm/adams.html (the Public
Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Dola 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 Mark Bates at (404) 562-4612, (Internet E-mail:
