UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 February 19, 2010 Mr. Larry Meyer Site Vice-President NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC 6610 Nuclear Road Two Rivers, WI 54241
SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS:
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT
Dear Mr. Meyer:
In a letter dated August 17, 2009, (NRC 2009-0083), your staff responded to the NRCs Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2009-11, and requested we schedule initial operator license examinations in April 2011, May 2012, and in May 2013, at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant.
We have scheduled the examination requested to be conducted in April 2011 to begin the week of April 26, 2011. For the examination requested in May 2012, we have re-scheduled the examination you previously requested for February 2012 to an examination beginning the week of May 7, 2012. For the examination requested in May 2013, we have schedule the examination to begin the week of May 13, 2013. On-site validation of each of these examinations will occur approximately three weeks before the start of the examination. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the 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 have discovered it will be necessary for the NRC examiners to develop the written and operating test to be administered during the April 2011 initial license examination. The NRC chief examiner assigned to that examination has already contacted your initial license operator training program supervisor and explained our need to develop the examination. We understand your staff will develop the examinations scheduled during 2012 and 2013. Each of the scheduled examinations was scheduled for two weeks because your letter indicated each examination has more than nine applicants taking the examinations. Please inform us if the number of applicants declines below ten as this will impact the examination schedule. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled dates for the examinations.
A supplementary letter will be sent to the Point Beach Nuclear Plants Training Department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination informing the training manager of the chief examiner=s name. The letter will also 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.
