MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM INSPECTION
Dear Mr. OConnor:
In a telephone conversation on June 19, 2009, Mr. G. Allex, License Operator Requalification Lead, and Mr. M. Bielby, Lead Inspector, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 1.
The inspection is planned for the week of October 26, 2009, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The inspection was originally scheduled for the week of September 28, 2009, but was changed based on emerging scheduling conflicts at another facility. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.
In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by October 9, 2009. Mr. Allex has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
