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 August 24, 2009. Mr. Amundson has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
