SUBJECT:
SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 -
NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION
05000361/2008301; 05000362/2008301
Dear Mr. Rosenblum:
In a telephone conversation on April 23, 2008 between Messrs. Bill Arbor, Initial Operator
Training Supervisor and Steve Garchow, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station during the
weeks of September 22 and September 29, 2008.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors, Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for
Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs 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 July 6, 2008. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by August 5, 2008. Pursuant to
Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (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. 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 examination and reference materials, or the
submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
In addition, your support for on-site validation of the examinations is required during the week of
August 25, 2008.

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 to 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 operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval 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 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 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB,
under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009. The public reporting
burden for this collection of information 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. 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 to Margie.Janney@nrc.gov; and to the Desk
Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the
electronic Reading Room page of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm/adams.html.
