Mr. Fadi Diya, Senior Vice President

and Chief Nuclear Officer

Union Electric Company

P.O. Box 620

Fulton, MO 65251

SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING

EXAMINATION 05000483/2016301

Dear Mr. Diya:

In a telephone conversation on November 4, 2015, between Messrs. M. Covey, Operations

Manager, and C. Osterholtz, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of

licensing examinations at the Callaway Plant during the week of May 23, 2016.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on

the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power

Reactors, Revision 10, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power

Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your

staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination

outlines by February 22, 2016. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 24, 2016.

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

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 examinations and

reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the

examinations to be rescheduled. In addition, your support for on-site validation of the

examinations is required during the week of April 18, 2016.

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 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.

To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and

senior 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 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 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.

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 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs Agencywide Documents Access

and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the electronic Reading Room

page of the NRCs public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Covey 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. Osterholtz at 817-200-1269, or myself at

817-200-1159.
