SUBJECT:

SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR LICENSING RETAKE EXAMINATION EXAMINATION REPORT NO. 50-261/95-300 Gentlemen:

The purpose of this letter is to confirm arrangements made in a telephone conversation between, Mr. Tom Natale, Manager, Operations Training and Mr. D. Charles Payne, Senior License Examiner, NRC Region II Operator Licensing Section, for the administration of a retake written examination for one individual at the H. B. Robinson Plant Unit 2. There will be no examination preparation visit.

The written examination will be administered on May 9, 1995 by Mr. Mike Ernstes, Senior License Examiner, NRC Region II.

Your staff has furnished an up-to-date set of reference materials specified in the enclosed List of Reference Materials. The NRC prepared and will administer the written examinations in accordance with ES-401 and ES-402 of NUREG-1021. Members of your staff reviewed the licensing examination in accordance with the guidelines in Revision 7 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examiner Standards," (ES-201, Attachment 4) during the week of April 17, 1995.

In order to conduct the requested examination, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations on the date noted above.

The NRC's guidelines for administering the written examinations are described in ES-402, Attachment 1. Also, ES-402, Attachment 2, contains the NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination is being administered.

The NRC has reviewed and approved the waiver request submitted with the candidate's application. Therefore no operating examination will be administered.

From the provided reference materials identified in the enclosure, we would appreciate retaining your EOPs and AOPs for reference use in our Incident Response Center. If you have any concerns about this proposed use, please contact me at (404) 331-5541.

LIST OF REFERENCE MATERIALS

1. Materials used by the facility licensee to ensure operator competency:

a. The following types of materials used to train applicants for initial RO and SRO licensing should be provided. The material should be complete, comprehensive, and of sufficient detail to support the development of accurate and valid examinations without being redundant.

learning objectives, student handouts, and lesson plans system descriptions of all operationally relevant flow paths, components, controls, and instrumentation material used to clarify and strengthen understanding of normal, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures complete, operationally useful descriptions of all safety system interactions and, where available, balance-of-plant system interactions under emergency and abnormal conditions, including consequences of anticipated operator errors, maintenance errors, and equipment failures

b. Questions and answers specific to the facility training program that may be used in the written examinations or operating tests (voluntary by facility licensee).

c. Copies of facility-generated simulator scenarios that expose the applicants to abnormal and emergency conditions, including degraded pressure control, degraded heat removal capability, and containment challenges, during all modes of operation, including low power conditions. A description of the scenarios used for the training class may also be provided (voluntary by facility licensee).

d. All job performance measures (JPMs) used to ascertain the competence of the operators in performing tasks within the control room complex and outside the control room (i.e., local operations) as identified in the facility JTA. JPMs should evaluate operator responsibilities during normal, abnormal, and emergency conditions and events and during all modes of operation, including cold shutdown, low, and full power.

2. Complete index of procedures (including all categories sent).

3.

All administrative procedures applicable to reactor operation or safety.

4.
