December 29, 2008 Mr. Keith J. Polson, Vice President Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC P.O. Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093-0063

SUBJECT:

SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR OPERATOR RETAKE EXAMINATION -

NINE MILE POINT - UNIT 1

Dear Mr. Polson:

In telephone conversations on December 17, 2008, between Mr. Robert Brown, General Supervisor, Operations Training, and Mr. Todd Fish, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for administration of the operating test (simulator portion) retake licensing examinations at Nine Mile Point - Unit 1, during the week of March 2, 2009.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the simulator scenarios based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC 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 scenarios by January 20, 2009, along with supporting reference materials. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 10 CFR 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 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 operating test and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.

Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the scenarios 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 examination date. Because your applicants for the simulator retake examination previously passed the written test, administered on October 13, 2008, as well as the walk-through and administrative parts of the operating test, administered October 6-10, 2008, you may request waivers of those portions. 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.

Mr. K. Polson 2 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 200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at BJS1@NRC.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
