UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 November 4, 2011 Mr. Michael J. Pacilio Senior Vice President, Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO), Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS:

BYRON STATION

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

We have received your corporate letter RS-11-110 dated June 29, 2011, and Byron 2011-0136 letter dated September 28, 2011. In these letters, you requested initial operator licensing examinations be rescheduled at the Byron Station from September 2014 to June 2014 and from March 2016 to August 2015.

In response, we have canceled the initial licensing exams previously scheduled for September 2014 and March 2016. We have also scheduled initial licensing examinations for the weeks of June 2 and 9, 2014, and for the weeks of August 10 and 17, 2015, at the Byron Station. Onsite validation for these initial licensing examinations will take place about three weeks prior to the exam date.

We note that you were previously scheduled for an initial operator licensing exam the weeks of January 14 and 21, 2013. Per your request, we have changed this examination date to the weeks of April 29 and May 6, 2013, with an onsite validation date of April 1, 2013. 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.

M. Pacilio 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).

Sincerely,

/RA/
