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.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION 111 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, ILLINOIS 60532-4352 November 9.2006 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 November 6, 2006, between Mr. Raymond Keith Walton of the NRC and Mr. Mark Jensen of Quad Cities Operations Training, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station the weeks of June 4 and June 11, 2007. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of May 14, 2007.

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 May 14, 2007.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials identified in Attachment 2 to ES-201 by December 4, 2006. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in receiving the required 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 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) (OMB 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.

In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you and the affected station's training department immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.

We understand that your staff will develop the proposed examinations with the exception of the November 2006 LaSalle Station examination, which will be developed by Region 111 examiners.

Examinations scheduled for two weeks indicate a class size of ten or more candidates. Please inform us if the number of candidates declines below ten as this will impact the examination schedule. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover a need to change any of the dates of the scheduled examinations.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the station's training department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination. The letter will provide the station with the chief examiner's name, an outline of examination security expectations, a list of the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, and it will reconfirm the examination dates and the number of candidates you have in the training program.

Subject:

Reference:

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 scheduling 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.
