Dear Mr. Pardee:

In a telephone conversation on March 10,2010, between Mr. Joseph D'Antonio, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Corey Goff, Operations Training Manager, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Limerick and Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Stations during the weeks of July 19 and July 26,2010.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021 , "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors," Revision 9, Supplement 1. 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, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by May 3,2010. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials requested by Mr. D'Antonio will be due by May 31, 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, examinations, and tests befo're they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials should be complete and ready-to-use. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeg1,.lards 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 examinations to be rescheduled.

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-1 021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.

Pardee 2 To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary limited 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 (if any) (OMB approval number 3150~090) at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
