UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 June 1, 2011 Mr. Christopher R. Costanzo Vice President NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC 3277 DAEC Road Palo, IA 52324-9785
SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS:
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER
Dear Mr. Costanzo:
We have received your letter NG-10-0460. In that letter, you requested an initial operator licensing examination be scheduled February 2015.
In response, we have scheduled an initial licensing examination for the week of April 27, 2015, at the Duane Arnold Energy Center. On-site validation of this examination is tentatively scheduled to occur approximately three weeks before the examination week. We note that you were previously scheduled for an initial operator licensing exam the week of April 8 and April 15, 2013. This date has not changed. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support the 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 in which case, we will notify you immediately upon discovery of that need. Because your letter indicated that there were more than nine applicants being considered for each of these examinations, the examinations were each scheduled for two weeks. Please inform us if the number of candidates change for any examination as this will impact the examination schedule. Also, 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 training department approximately 120 days prior to the examination informing the training manager 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 date, and reconfirm the number of candidates you have in the training program.
C. Costanzo In accordance with 10 CFR 2.930 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records System (PARS) component of NRCs Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://ww.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
