REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Pardee:

In a telephone conversation on July 16, 2008, Mr. R. Williams, Operations Training Manager, and Mr. D. McNeil, Senior Operation Engineer, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Byron Station.

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 the written examinations and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by September 15, 2008. Mr. Williams has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
