March 11, 1999 Carolina Power & Light Company ATTN:
Mr. D. E. Young Vice President H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 3581 West Entrance Road Hartsville, SC 29550
SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT
Dear Mr. Young:
In a telephone conversation on March 9, 1999, between Mr. Tom Natale, Operations Training Manager and Mr. Mike Ernstes, Senior License Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant during the week of July 26, 1999.
Your staff will prepare the proposed examinations in accordance with the guidelines in Interim Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors."
The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any examination changes that might be necessary prior to their administration. It is requested that your staff coordinate with the chief examiner to determine the appropriate quantity of operating test items necessary to maintain sequestering of candidates to a mutually acceptable level during the examination week.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish three copies of the proposed examination outlines by May 13, 1999. Three copies of the proposed written examinations, three copies of the proposed operating tests, and one copy of the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by June 12, 1999. Any delay in receiving the required reference and examination materials or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials may result in the examinations being rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402 and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302, your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final.
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
Your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications and waiver requests at least 30 days before the first examination date so that the NRC will be able to review the applications and medical certifications, and evaluate any requested waivers. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
