UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 January 27, 2014 Mr. Larry Weber Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Indiana Michigan Power Company Nuclear Generation Group One Cook Place Bridgman, MI 49106
SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS:
DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Weber:
We have received your letters AEP-NRC-2012-52, dated July 23, 2012, and AEP-NRC-2013-62, dated August 5, 2013. In these letters, you requested that initial operator licensing examinations be scheduled at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant in July 2016 and July 2018.
In response, you have been scheduled an initial license exam for the weeks of July 11 and 18, 2016, with an onsite validation scheduled for June 13, 2016. Additionally, we have scheduled an initial license exam for the weeks of July 23 and 30, 2018, with an onsite validation date of June 25, 2018.
We note that you were previously scheduled for an initial operator licensing exam the week of July 21 and 28, 2014, with an onsite validation date of June 23, 2014. This exam date has not changed. This examination will be written by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Operator Licensing Branch in Region III.
The NRC will write the initial operator licensing exam scheduled in July 2014 in accordance with NUREG 1021, Revision 9, Supplement 1. 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 examination scheduled in 2016 and 2018 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 decline below ten 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.
L. Weber 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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
/RA/
