SUBJECT:
WATERFORD UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR
LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000382/2010301
Dear Mr. Kowalewski:
In a telephone conversation on December 14, 2009, between Messrs. John Signorelli,
Operations Training, and Brian Larson, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the
validation and administration of a retake licensing examination (operating test only) at
Waterford Unit 3, during the week of March 15, 2010.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors, Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for
Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be
necessary before the examination is administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination
outlines by January 29, 2010. The operating test and supporting reference materials identified in
Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by February 26, 2010. 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 shall approve the outlines and test before they are
submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and ready-to-use.
We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in
your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in
receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or
incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested operating test, 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.

Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in
effect while the operating test is being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit the preliminary operator
license application (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090),
medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests (if any)(OMB
approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the examination date. If the application is
not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary.
The signed application certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at
least 14 days before the examination date.
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by OMB, under
approval number 3150-0018. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of
information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of these
information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Records and
FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to INFOCOLLECTS@NRC.GOV.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the
electronic Reading Room page of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm/adams.html.

and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Larson at 817-860-8172 or myself at
