Docket No. 50-10 Docket No. 50-237 Docket No. 50-249 Commonwealth Edison Company ATTN:
Mr. Cordell Reed Vice Presfdent Post Office Box 767 Chicago, IL 60690 Gentlemen:
Subj~ct: Operator and Senior Operator Licensing Examinations In a telephone conversation between Mr. B. Zank, Training Supervisor and Mr. E.
Plettner, Region III Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of examinations at the Dresden Facility.
The written and oral examinations are scheduled for the week of June 10, 1985.
The plant oral and simulator exa~inations are scheduled for June 11, 12, 13, 14, 1985.
In order for us to meet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 "Reference Material Requirements for Operator/Senior Operator Licensing Examinations" by May 1, 1985.
Any delay in receiving tht~ material will result in a delay in administering the examinations.
Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to best utilize our limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities. Therefore, missing the May 1, 1985 deadline, even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities.
Mr. B. Zank has been advised of our reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners*
names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.
The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facil-ities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.,
"Administration of Operator/Senior Operator Licensing Written Examinations,"
describes our requirements for conducting these examinations.
Mr. B. Zank has also been informed of these requirements.
All operator and senior license applications should normally be submitted at least 60 days prior to the first examination dates so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates, process the medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligi-bility has been determined.
If the applications are not received at least 30 days prior to the examination dates it is likely that a postponement will be necessary.
Commonwealth Edison Company.
