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. 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
