As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff willprepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Interim Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors."
The NRC regional office willdiscuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

The operating examinations and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 willbe due by April 10, 1998.
