We respond as foDown on this single issue:

You have -. Gy called our attendon to the segulations, Wie 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 55, which call for an annual g test. In view of the lack of flexibility in this requirement, our proposal foran ahernativedoes to zip citate a more realistic situation at facilities with small stat s such as ours. Dus after careful canaldwation we withdraw our proposal for an altemadve and wul conduct an annual operating test on all areas as specified in 10CFR 55.45(a)(1) (13) for each linannad operssor or linannad senior operator othat than the tiaanand individual performing the assessment (normally abe Reactor S.,,wVear).

All thirteen sequhod aspects for each licensed individual wB1 be eraminad on a single day. Retraining on that day and fbt!y documented for subsequent inspeedon.peradon undl it is corre any deficient hem will consist of repeating the daficiant o 4

It is further our understanding that such tests may not be conducted "on shift". To meet this requhement, we will mandam that de mactor operate that day exclusively for the purpose of conducting the test.
