SUBJECT: SCHEDULING OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS,

BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Hanson:

We have received your corporate letter RS-14-164, dated May 29, 2014, in response to

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Issue Summary 2014-05, Preparation

and Scheduling of Operator Licensing Examinations. In the letter, you requested initial

operator licensing examinations be scheduled for September 2016 and May 2018 at the

Braidwood Station. These dates have not changed from our NRC response letter dated

January 27, 2014.

In response, we have previously scheduled initial operator licensing examinations for the weeks

of:

• September 5 and 12, 2016, with an onsite validation date the week of August 8, 2016.

• May 14 and 21, 2018, with an onsite validation date of April 16, 2018.

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 examinations 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 change 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.

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.
