scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and
conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-approved requalification
program. It is our understanding that you have committed to maintain your plant-referenced
simulator in accordance with ANSI/ANS-3.5-1985, American National Standard for Nuclear
Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and Examination.
In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59, the NRC has requested that you submit June 2, 2017, the
