Dear Mr. Davison:

In a telephone conversation on July 1, 2015, Mr. B. Palagi, Senior Operations Inspector, and Mr. C. Boegeman, Operations Training Supervisor, made arrangements for the U. S.

The inspection is planned for the week of August 17, 2015, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification program.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRC's inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by August 10, 2015.
