BRAIDWOOD STATION CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION
Dear Mr. Pardee:
In a meeting on May 27, 2009, between Mr. B. Kempen and Mr. B. Palagi arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Braidwood Station during the week(s) of October 5 and 12, 2009. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of September 14, 2009.
As agreed during the meeting, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC=s regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, your staff furnished the examination outlines on June 26, 2009.
The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in to ES-201 were provided on August 21, 2009. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55..40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee approved the outlines, examinations, and tests before they were submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
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.
Your staff has submitted 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 (OMB approval number 3150-0090). Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.

These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018. The public reporting burden for this collection 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, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
