REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Bronson:
In a telephone conversation on June 29, 2007, Mr. Todd Fish, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Mark Santiago, Superintendent, Operator Training, made arrangements for the U. S.

The inspection is planned for the week of September 10, 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 order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish: 1) an index or summary of condition reports written in the past two years in which licensed operator errors were determined to be the root or contributing cause; 2) an index or summary of condition reports written in the past two years on simulator performance problems; 3) an index or summary of simulator performance test results in the past two years; and 4) the examination schedule, sample plan, and operating test scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by September 4, 2007. Mr. Santiago has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
