In a telephone conversation on March 30, 2011, between Mr. Bruce Moody, Senior Operations

administration of licensing examinations at Callaway Plant on June 10, 2011.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff wiil prepare the examination based on

the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1 021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors," and the use of Revision 2 of NUREG-1122, "Knowledge and

Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators." 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 outline

by April 29, 2011. The examination and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment

licensee shall approve the outline and examination 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.

Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in

effect while the written examination is being administered.

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
