Dear Mr. Walsh:

In a telephone conversation on September 5, 2013, Mr. D. Silk, Senior Operations Engineer, and Mr. M. Leone, Operations Training Supervisor-Continuing Training, made arrangements for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at Seabrook Station Unit No. 1. The inspection is planned for the week of October 28, 2013, which coincides with the scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs.

Mr. M. Leone has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
