SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF REQUESTED INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS: NRC REGION III EXELON STATIONS
Dear Mr. Pardee:
In a letter dated August 13, 2009 (RS-09-109), your staff responded to Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2009-11, and requested we schedule initial license operator examinations for the Exelon Nuclear Plants. In a separate letter dated March 19, 2009 (U-603882),
Clinton Power Station requested an examination be administered in October or November 2010 that was not included in your RIS response letter. That examination has been added to your examination schedule. In a separate letter dated November 18, 2009 (U-603924),
Clinton Power Station requested we not schedule the examination requested in December 2011 per your letter, but retain an August 2011 examination scheduled from your response to the 2008 RIS for examination scheduling. In a separate letter dated January 6, 2010 (Byron 2010-0003), Byron Station requested we change the dates of their examinations proposed for 2011, 2012, and 2013 to other dates. We were unable to accommodate the April 2013 examination requested for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station. It is currently listed as To Be Determined as we are currently negotiating a mutually acceptable examination date with Quad Cities training department personnel. This letter confirms scheduling of the requested examinations at the Region III Exelon power plants and incorporates the changes requested by Clinton Power Station and Byron Station. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examinations to occur as follows:
Station 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Braidwood N/R 06/20 N/R 03/25 N/R Byron 9/27 N/R 01/16 01/14 01/27 Clinton 11/1 8/22 N/R 8/19 N/R Dresden 03/08 03/07 3/05 3/04 N/R LaSalle 09/13 N/R 09/24 N/R N/R Quad Cities N/R 5/30 3/26 TBD N/R N/R - None Requested TBD - To Be Determined On-site validation of the examinations is tentatively scheduled to occur approximately three weeks before each scheduled examination. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you and the affected station=s training department immediately upon discovery of such conditions and make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.
C. Pardee We understand that your staff will develop the proposed examinations unless we discover it is necessary for the NRC to develop an examination. If an examination anticipates greater than nine anticipated applicants for the examination, the examination is scheduled for two weeks.
Otherwise, the examination is scheduled for one week. Please inform us if the number of candidates declines below ten for any examination as this will impact the examination schedule.
Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover a need to change any of the dates of the scheduled examinations.
A supplementary letter will be sent to each station=s training department director approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination. The letter will provide the director with the chief examiner=s name, an outline of examination security expectations, a list of the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, and it will reconfirm the examination dates and 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.
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).
