November 21, 2008 Mr. Kevin Bronson Site Vice President Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station 600 Rocky Hill Road Plymouth, MA 02360-5508
SUBJECT:
SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION
Dear Mr. Bronson:
In a telephone conversation on November 13, 2008, between Mr. Mark Santiago, Supervisor of Operations Training, and Mr. Joseph DAntonio, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station during the week of March 23, 2009.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. 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 January 5, 2009. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified by Mr. DAntonio will be due by February 2, 2009. 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.
Mr. K. Bronson 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.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
and waiver requests (if any) (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The OMB, under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009, approved these information collections. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, writing the examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of these information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D.C.
20503.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC=s Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the 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.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Santiago has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Joseph DAntonio at (610) 337-5085, or Mr. Sam Hansell at (610) 337-5046.
Sincerely,
