SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT 3 & 4 - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL
EXAMINATION 05000250/2019302 AND 05000251/2019302
Dear Mr. Nazar:
During a telephone conversation on December 7, 2018, between Mr. Val Miklausich, Exam
Project Manager, and Mr. Gary Callaway, Senior Reactor Technology Instructor, arrangements
were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Turkey Point. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of June 17, 2019. The operating test is scheduled
to be administered during the weeks of July 22 and 29, 2019. The written examination is
scheduled to be administered the week of Aug 5, 2019.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
will prepare both the operating test outline and written examination based on the guidelines in
Revision 11 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors."
Your staff has already furnished the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to
ES-201.Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the exam during the week of June 28th.
To meet the above schedule, the NRC will provide the operating test outlines by January 31,
2018.
We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information
provided to the NRC be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Any
delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of
inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.

Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the written examination during preparation, and
will also be given the opportunity to discuss any changes that might be necessary to the
operating test during the preparatory week. Your staff has also agreed to make copies of all
examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary
for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402, and
to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302,
your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures,
temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes
licensing action on all the applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands
are complete.
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in
effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor
operator and senior reactor operator waiver and/or excusal requests (Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if
possible). Contact Mr. Callaway to determine the method for submission of the waiver or
excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications
(OMB approval number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-
0024) should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date (that is, by June
22, 2019). If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a
postponement may be necessary. Final signed applications certifying that all training has been
completed and requesting any waivers or excusals, as applicable, should be submitted at least
14 days (by July 8, 2019) before the first examination date.
Although the guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests call for at least 30 days before
the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the
requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day guideline
above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the licensee to the NRC are not binding.
Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form
398, Personal Qualifications StatementLicensee, or as directed by Mr. Callaway when
contacting him to determine the method for submission). The NRC will document its final
decision on whether to grant a waiver or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398
submitted for the applicant. The NRC will not provide its decision until the final application is
submitted to the agency.
