The written examinations are scheduled for February 27,

1995, and the operating examinations are scheduled for the week of February 27, 1995.

Your staff will be given an opportunity to review the licensing examinations in accordance with the guidelines in Revision 7 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examiner Standards,"

(ES-201, )

during the week of February 6,

1995.

To prepare the examinations and meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials specified in the enclosed List of Reference Materials by December 2,

1994.

Any delay in receiving approved and indexed reference material or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete reference material may result in the examinations being rescheduled.

The NRC will prepare and administer the written examinations in accordance with ES-401 and ES-402 of NUREG-1021.

In order to conduct the requested examinations, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations on the date noted above.

The NRC's guidelines for administering the written examinations are described in ES-402, Attachment 1.

The NRC will prepare and administer the operating tests in accordance with ES-301 and ES-302 of NUREG-1021.

In order to conduct the requested operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above.

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.

ES-402, Attachment 2,

and ES-302, Attachment 1, contain a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examination and operating tests are being administered.
