Dear Mr. Pardee:

In a telephone conversation on June 23, 2009, Mr. Bruce Palagi, Senior Operations Inspector, and Mr. George Pickar, Licensed Operator Requalification Lead, made arrangements for the NRC to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Braidwood Station. The inspection is planned for the week of August 17, 2009, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. 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©, the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRCs inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by August 3, 2009. Mr. Pickar has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
