NINE MILE POINT, UNIT 1
Dear Mr. Polson:
In a telephone conversation on December 5, 2008 between Mr. John G. Caruso, Senior Operations Engineer/Chief Examiner and Mr. Thomas J. Shortell, Training Manager, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Nine Mile Point Unit 1 during the week of August 31, 2009.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1.
Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of July 27, 2009.
Your staff previously furnished all requested reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 as requested by the NRC and it was received in the regional office by February 19, 2009.
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.

Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
