SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL/REQUALIFICATION OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT
Dear Mr. Meyer:
In a letter dated July 28, 2008 (NRC 2008-0055), your staff requested we schedule initial operator license examinations in May 2009 and in February 2012 at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. We have scheduled the examination requested to be conducted in May 2009 to begin the week of May 4, 2009. We have scheduled the examination requested for February 2012 to begin the week of February 13, 2012. Your staff also requested an examination be scheduled during February 2011. This request is actually a change request to move a previously scheduled examination from May 2011 to February 2011. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate the examination requested in February 2011 due to a heavy examination load.
After discussing available examination weeks, Mr. M. Durbin of your staff notified Mr. D. McNeil, NRC Senior Operations Engineer, that the proposed examination start week of March 21, 2011, would be acceptable examination start week. Therefore, an examination has been scheduled for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant beginning the week of March 21, 2011. 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 examination unless we determine it is necessary for the NRC to write the examination. Each of the scheduled examinations was scheduled for two weeks because your 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 Point Beach Nuclear Plants 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.
L. Meyer We have scheduled a Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program Inspection (IP 71111.11) for the week of August 31, 2009. 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.
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).
