Mr. Mano Nazar
Executive Vice President,
Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer
Florida Power and Light Company
P.O. Box 14000
Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420
SUBJECT: ST. LUCIE PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL
EXAMINATION 05000335/2009301 and 05000389/2009301
Dear Mr. Nazar:
In a telephone conversation on March 23, 2009, between Mr. Mark R. Verbeck, Initial License
Training Supervisor and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of September 28, and October 5, 2009. The
written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of October 12, 2009. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of September 14, 2009.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021,
"Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be
necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed to make
copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline by July 17, 2009. Mr. Baldwin will provide a written examination outline to your staff by
April 6, 2009. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference materials
identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by August 14, 2009. Pursuant to Title 10,
Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR55.40(b)(3)), an authorized
representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outline, examination, and test 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 examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or
incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
2
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 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.). 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 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 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 infocollectsresource@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.
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 NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination
