July 10, 2008 Mr. Peter P. Sena, III Site Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Beaver Valley Power Station Mail Stop A-BV-SEB1 P.O. Box 4, Route 168 Shippingport, PA 15077
SUBJECT:
SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
(BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION - UNIT 2)
Dear Mr. Sena:
In a telephone conversation on July 8, 2008, between Mr. R. Brooks, Staff Nuclear Specialist, and Mr. D. Silk, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Beaver Valley Unit 2 during the weeks of December 8 and December 15, 2008.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC=s 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 September 24, 2008. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 of ES-201 will be due by October 24, 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 should 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 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.
