SUBJECT:
FORT CALHOUN STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC RETAKE OPERATOR
LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000285/2012302
Dear Mr. Bannister:
In a telephone conversation on June 6, 2012, between Messrs. Tom Giebelhausen, Manager
Operations Training and Simulator, and Chris Steely, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made
for the administration of licensing examinations at Fort Calhoun Station on September 21, 2012.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on
the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power
Reactors, Revision 9, Supplement 1, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for
Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs 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 July 13, 2012. The written examination and reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to
ES-201 will be due by August 13, 2012. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code
of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility
licensee shall approve the outline, examination, 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.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations, it will be necessary for your staff to
provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402.
Appendix E to NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in
effect while the written examinations are being administered.
