CLINTON POWER STATION CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

In a telephone conversation on September 5, 2014, between Mr. T. Jennings, Lead Regulatory Examination Author and Mr. B. Palagi, Region III Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Clinton Power Station during the weeks of March 16 and 23, 2015. In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of February 23, 2015.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

It will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by December 22, 2014, to meet the above schedule. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 20, 2015. Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 55.40(b)(3), (10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and ready to use. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be 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.

M. Pacilio Your staff should submit the preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (e.g., Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Approval No. 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB Approval No. 3150-0024), and waiver requests (if any, OMB Approval No. 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first examination date, so as to ensure a timely NRC review and evaluation process. 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.

This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Approval Number 3150-0018. The public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of these information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Records and FOIA/Privacy Services Branch (T-5 F52), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to infocollects@nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

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).

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. T. Jennings has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's examination procedures and guidelines, please contact B. Palagi at 630-829-9611, or me at 630-829-9707.

Sincerely,

/RA Raymond K. Walton Acting for/
