UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 June 24, 2015 Mr. Paul Fessler Chief Nuclear Officer DTE Energy Company Fermi 2 - 210 NOC 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166
SUBJECT:
FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATION
Dear Mr. Fessler:
In a telephone conversation on June 24, 2015, between Mr. M. Bielby, Chief Examiner, and Mr. M. Donigian, Fermi Training Instructor, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations, at the Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2, during the week of August 24. In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will make an examination validation visit to your facility the week of August 3, 2015.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 10 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.
Your staff previously submitted the examination outline on May 22, 2015, which met our requested date. The written examination, operating test, and supporting reference material identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201, will be due by June 25, 2015. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the examinations and tests before they are submitted to the Commission 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.
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 to 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.
P. Fessler To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests, (if any), (OMB approval number 3150-0090), at least 30 days before the first examination date. 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 OMB, under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2500 hours0.0289 days <br />0.694 hours <br />0.00413 weeks <br />9.5125e-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 on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail to BJS1@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, an information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is 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. Donigian has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. M. Bielby at 630-829-9762, or me at 630-829-9711.
