December 24, 1984 Tennessee Valley Authority ATTN:
Mr. H.
G. Parr is Manager of Power and Engineering 500-A Chestnut Street, Tower II Chattanooga, TN 37401 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. R.
G. Jones, Browns Ferry Training Supervisor, and Mr. S. Guenther, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Tennessee Valley Authority, Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
The written, plant oral, and simulator examinations are scheduled for the week of April 8, 1985.
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 February 8, 1985.
Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administration of the examinations.
Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination date requested by the various facilities.
Therefore, missing the February 8,'985, 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. Jones has been advised of our selected reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners'ames 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, DC 20503.
The facility management is responsible for 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. Jones has also been informed of these require-ments.
All operator and senior license applications 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, process the medical certi-fications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined.
