SUBJECT:
CALLAWAY PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR
LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000483/2009301
Dear Mr. Heflin:
In a telephone conversation on January 22, 2009 between Messrs. Rick Tiefenauer, Initial
License Class Lead, Larry Wilhelm, Initial License Instructor, and Gabriel Apger, Chief
Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Callaway
during the week of June 22, 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, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for
Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs 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 April 3, 2009. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by April 24, 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 shall 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 examinations and reference materials, or the submittal of
inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. In addition,
your support for on-site validation of the examinations is required during the week of May 11,
2009.
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.
Appendix E to 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 operator and
senior 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.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
approval number 3150-0018, which expires on June 30, 2009. The public reporting burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-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 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, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to
INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV.
The NRC may neither conduct nor 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 NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the
electronic Reading Room page of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm/adams.html.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Tiefenauer has been advised of the policies
and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Apger at 817-276-6508 or myself at
817-860-8159.
