SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATION OF REQUESTED INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS: NRC REGION III EXELON STATIONS

Dear Mr. Pardee:

In a letter dated July 22, 2008, (RS-08-092) your staff responded to Regulatory Issue Summary 2008-16 and requested we schedule initial license operator examinations for the Exelon Nuclear Plants. In a separate letter dated July 11, 2008, (KKM-08-001) the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Training Manager requested a change to the start date of the Stations 2009 examination. This letter confirms scheduling of the requested examinations at the Region III power plants and the change requested for the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station 2009 examination. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examinations to occur as follows:

Station 2009 2010 2011 2012 Braidwood 10/05 N/R 6/20 N/R Byron N/R 9/27 9/12 9/10 Clinton 8/24 N/R 8/22 N/R Dresden 03/09 03/08 3/07 3/05 LaSalle N/R 09/13 N/R 9/17 Quad Cities 11/30 N/R 5/30 3/26 N/R - None Requested On-site validation of the examinations is tentatively scheduled to occur approximately three weeks before each scheduled examination. 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 unless we discover it is necessary for the NRC to develop an examination. Because the examinations have greater than nine anticipated applicants, each examination is scheduled for two weeks. Please inform us if the number of candidates declines below ten for any examination 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.

C. Pardee A supplementary letter will be sent to each station=s training department director approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination. The letter will provide the director 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. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. Dell McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the Electronic Reading Room page of the NRC=s public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Sincerely,

/RA/
