SUBJECT:
INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION
.~q0, In a telephone conversation between Mr. L. Veeder and Mr. J.
Munro, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for the administration of the Instruc-tor Certification examinations at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Simulator.
The written examinations are scheduled for March 21, 1984.
The simulator exam-inations are scheduled for March 20, 1984, at the Shearon Harris simulator.
In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the selected reference material from the approved list in Enclosure 1
by January 20, 1984.
Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administration of the examinations.
Our examinations are scheduled far in ad-vance with considerable planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination date requested by the various facilities.
Therefore, missing the January 20, 1984, deadline even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay, since it would not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities.
Mr. Veeder has been advised of our selected reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiner's names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.
This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under a blanket clearance number 3150-0101 which expires on June 30, 1986.
Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and
- Budget, Reports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.
C.
20503.
The facility management is responsible tor providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations., "Administra-tion of Operator Licensing Written Examinations",
describes our requirements for conducting these examinations.
Mr. Veeder has also been informed of these require-ments.
The applications for instructor certifications should be submitted on Form NRC-398 at least 60 days prior to the first examination date so that we will be able to review the training and experience of the candidates and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined.
