SUBJECT: CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION - 05000302/2011301
Dear Mr. Franke:
In a telephone conversation on June 22, 2011, between Mr. Alan Kennedy, Initial License Exam
Lead, and Mr. Mark A. Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant. The operating test
is scheduled to be administered during the weeks of September 12, and September 19, 2011.
The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of September 19, 2011. The
on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of August 22, 2011.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
the 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 examination
outlines by July 5, 2011. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by July 29, 2011. The written
examination outline was previously provided to your staff on January 12, 2011. Pursuant to
10 CFR 55.40(b) (3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the
outlines, examinations, and 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 examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or
incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
FPC 2
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating test, 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, medical certifications, and waiver
requests (if any) 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 (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on
February 28, 2013. 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

Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
