Dear Mr. Bezilla:

In a telephone conversation on October 19, 2010, Mr. A. Mueller, Perry Training Manager, and Mr. B.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the operating and written tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by November 22, 2010. Additionally, to facilitate the efficient conduct of this inspection, please have available on site for review, the documents listed in the enclosure. Mr. Mueller has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
