Subject:

Operator and Senior Operator Licensing Examinations In a telephone conversation between Mr. Bill McRory, Training Coordinator, and Mr. Bruce Boger, Section Leader, OLB, arrangements were made for the administra tion of the examinations at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 & 3.

The written examinations are scheduled November 30, 1982. The plant oral exami nations are scheduled for December 1-3, 1982.

In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 by October 25, 1982. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering of the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with consider able planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities. Therefore, missing the October 25, 1982 deadline even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay, since it would not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities.

Mr. McRory has been advised of our reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiner's names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations., "Administra tion of Operator Licensing Written Examinations" describes our requirements for conducting.these examinations. Mr. McRory has also been informed of these require ments.

All operator and senior license applications should be submitted at least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates, process the medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined.
