September 27, 2010
Mr. Mano Nazar
Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer
Florida Power & Light Company
P.O. Box 14000
Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420
SUBJECT: ST. LUCIE PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL
EXAMINATION 05000335/2011301 and 05000389/2011301
Dear Mr. Nazar:
In a telephone conversation on September 15, 2010, between Mr. Terry Benton, Training
Supervisor and Mr. Gerard Laska, Senior Operations Examiner, arrangements were made for
the administration of licensing examinations at St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of February 21, and 28, 2011. The written
examination is scheduled to be administered the week of March 14, 2011. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the weeks of January 24, and 31, 2011.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021,
Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be
necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed to make
copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline by December 13, 2010. Mr. Gerard Laska provided a written examination outline to your
staff on May 05, 2010. The operating tests, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 05, 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 outline, examination, and test
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.
2
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.
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. The public reporting burden for this collection of information 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, writing the examinations, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Send comments on any aspect of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records
Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001, or by Internet electronic mail at infocollectsresource@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 not conduct or 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 NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
