SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF
LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000400/2016301
Dear Mr. Waldrep:
In a telephone conversation on January 20, 2016, between Mr. Richard Horton, NRC Exam
Author, and Mr. Michael Donithan, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at Harris Nuclear Power Plant. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered the week of July 11, 2016. The written examination is scheduled
to be administered on July 19, 2016. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of
June 20, 2016.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 10 of NUREG-1021, "Operator
Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be
necessary before the examinations are administered. Your staff has also agreed to make
copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline and reference material by April 11, 2016. Mr. Donithan provided the written examination
outline to your staff in November, 2015. The operating test and supporting reference materials
identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by May 12, 2016. The written examination will
be due by May 20, 2016. Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal
Regulations, an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outline,
examination, and test 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.
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, writing the
examinations, 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 at infocollectsresource@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 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,
of the NRCs 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 (PARS)
component of the NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.adams.html .
