SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL/REQUALIFICATION OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS: KEWAUNEE POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Christian:

In a letter dated August 14, 2008 (08-0436), Dominion Resources Services, Inc., requested we schedule initial operator license examinations in April 2009, February 2011, and October 2012 at the Kewaunee Power Station. We have scheduled the examinations as requested. The examination requested in April 2009 will begin the week of April 13, 2009. The examination requested during the month of February 2011 was scheduled to begin the week of February 6, 2011. The examination requested in October 2012 was scheduled to begin during the week of October 29, 2012. On-site validation of each of these examinations will occur approximately three weeks before the start of the examination. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you 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 examinations unless we determine it is necessary for the NRC to write an examination. The letter indicated each examination has more than nine applicants taking the examinations. Please inform us if the number of candidates for an examination declines below ten as this will impact the examination schedule. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled dates for the examinations.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the Kewaunee Power Stations Training Department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination informing the training manager of the chief examiner=s name. The letter will also outline examination security expectations, list the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirm the examination dates, and reconfirm the number of candidates you have in the training program.

We have scheduled a Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program Inspection (IP 71111.11) for the week of November 17, 2008. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover this week is outside of your normally scheduled requalification training program=s annual examinations. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr.

Dell McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.
