SUBJECT:
CALLAWAY PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR
LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000483/2011301
Dear Mr. Heflin:
In a telephone conversation on September 7, 2010, between Messrs. Rick Tiefenauer, Senior
Training Supervisor, and Larry Wilhelm, Operations Supervisor, and Clyde Osterholtz, Chief
Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Callaway
during the week of February 7, 2011.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff and the staff of the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) will prepare the examinations 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, Pressurized Water Reactors, Revision 2, Supplement 1.
The staff of the NRC will prepare the written examination. Your staff will be given the opportunity
to review the written examinations before on-site validation.
The staff of the NRC will prepare two administrative, three simulator/control room and one in-
plant job performance measures for the operating test. The staff of the NRC will also develop
one simulator scenario. Following preparation of portions of the operating tests by the NRC, the
staff of the NRC will turn the operating tests over to your staff to complete the preparation and
draft submittal of the entire operating test. The NRCs 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 comprehensive
examination outlines by November 22, 2011. The operating tests will be due by December 20,
2011. 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 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 tests, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials,

may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. In addition, your support for on-site validation
of the examinations is required during the week of January 10, 2011.
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 to 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.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and
senior 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 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.
