SUBJECT:
H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED
OPERATOR RE-TAKE INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000261/2016302
Dear R. Glover:
In a meeting on May 24, 2016, between Mr. Christopher McComber, Training Instructor and
Mr. Joseph Rackley, Training Supervisor, and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations
Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at
H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The simulator portion of an operating test is scheduled to
be administered during the week of July 25, 2016. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled
for the week of July 25, 2016.
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.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline by June 2, 2016. The operating tests and supporting reference materials identified in
Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 7, 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 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 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.

and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least by July 5, 2016. If the
applications are not received at least 15 days before the examination date, a postponement
may be necessary. Signed application certifying that all remedial training has been completed
should be submitted at least by July 14, 2016.
