Dear Mr. Joyce:

In a telephone conversation on July 30, 2012, Mr. Joseph DAntonio, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. Mark Schaffer, Licensed Operator Requalification Lead, made arrangements for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the Hope Creek facility. The inspection is planned for the week of October 8, 2012, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.
