SUBJECT:
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS
Dear Mr. Costanzo:
In a letter dated November 20, 2008 (NG-08-0877), your staff requested we schedule an initial license operator examination during the week of June 20, 2011, or on the alternate week of June 26, 2011. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examination to start during the alternate requested week of June 26, 2011. Your staff also requested we schedule an initial license operator examination during the week of April 8, 2013. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examination to start during the specified week of April 8, 2013. On-site validation of these examinations is tentatively scheduled to occur approximately three weeks before the examination week. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support an examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.
We understand that your staff will develop the examinations unless we determine the need for the NRC to develop an examination. The letter we received indicated that more than nine applicants were being considered for the examinations. The examinations have been scheduled for two weeks to accommodate more than nine applicants. If the number of applicants should decrease below ten applicants, please inform us as soon as possible, as this will result in a schedule change. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled date for the examination.
A supplementary letter will be sent to the training department approximately 120 days prior to each of these initial examinations. The letters will inform the training department of the chief examiner=s name, outline examination security expectations, list the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirm the examination dates, and reconfirm the number of candidates you have in the training program. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Mr. Dell McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.

Costanzo In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
