REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION - FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

In a telephone conversation on February 25, 2008, Mr. Joseph DAntonio, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Gary Fronk, Requal Lead Examiner, made arrangements for the U. S.

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