OPERATOR LlCENSING EXAM1NATION APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Bezilla:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the final arrangements for the upcoming operator licensing examinations at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the operator license applications in connection with this examination and separately provided a list of approved applicants to Mr. Anthony J. Mueller, Jr., Training Manager. Note that any examination waivers and application denials have been addressed in separate correspondence.
The NRC has approved the subject examinations and hereby authorizes you to administer the written examinations in accordance with Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, during the weeks of June 14 or 21 , 2010. The NRC staff will administer the operating tests during the week of June 14, 2010. This examination has undergone extensive review by my staff and representatives responsible for licensed operator training at your facility. Based on this review, I have concluded that the examination meets the guidelines of NUREG-1021 for content, operational, and discrimination validity. By administering this examination, you also agree that it meets NUREG-1021 guidelines, and is appropriate for measuring the qualifications of licensed operator applicants at your facility. If you determine that this examination is not appropriate for licensing operators at your facility, do not administer the examination and contact me at 630-829-9707.
Please contact your Chief Examiner, Dell R. McNeil at 630-829-9737, if you have any questions or identify any errors or changes in the license level (RO or SRO) or type of examination (partial or complete written examination and/or operating test) specified for each applicant.

SUBJECT:
PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION
Dear Mr. Bezilla:
In a telephone conversation on January 12, 2010, between Mr. R. Torres, Site Examination Team Lead, and Mr. D. McNeil, Senior Operations Specialist, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant during the weeks of June 14 and June 21, 2010. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of May 24, 2010.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." 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, your staff has already furnished the examination outlines.
The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in to ES-201 will be due by May 3, 2010. Pursuant to Title 10, 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 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 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-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
M. Bezilla To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and 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 3150-0090) 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.
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 the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018. The public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 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; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
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). ADAMS is accessible from the Electronic Reading Room page of the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.qov/readinq-rm/adams.html.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Torres has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. D. McNeil at 630-829-9737, or me at 630-829-9707.

CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS:
PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Dear Mr. Bezilla:
In a letter dated July 30, 2009 (L-09-180), your staff requested we delete an initial license examination scheduled in January 201 1. We have removed that examination from our calendar.
In a letter dated April 14, 2009 (L-09-IOI), you requested we change the date of an examination scheduled to begin on May 3, 2010, to begin on June 14, 2010. We have re-scheduled that examination to begin on June 14, 2010, per your request. In a previous letter (L-08-182), you requested we schedule an examination to begin on January 9, 2012. That examination is still scheduled to begin on January 9, 2012. On-site validation of the examinations will occur approximately three weeks prior to the start of the examinations. 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 it is necessary for the NRC to develop an examination. Your letters indicated that each examination will have more than nine applicants. Each examination has been scheduled for two weeks to accommodate this number of applicants. 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 Perry Nuclear Power Plant Training Department approximately 120 days prior to the initial examination informing them of the chief examiners 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.
