Dear Chairman Selin:
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED FINAL AMENDMENTS TO 10 CFR PART 55 ON RENEWAL OF LICENSES AND REQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSED OPERATORS During the 402nd meeting of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards, October 7-8, 1993, we reviewed the NRC staff's proposed final amendments to 10 CFR Part 55, Operators' Licenses.
During this meeting, we had the benefit of discussions with representa-tives of the NRC staff.
We also had the benefit of the document referenced.
These proposed amendments would revise the current requalification regulations for licensed operators by eliminating the present requirements that they pass a requalification written examination and operating test administered by the NRC during their six-year license tern.
Licensed operators would continue to be required to pass the biennial requalification written examination and annual operating test administered by their plant training organizations.
As part of the proposed rule change, licensees would be required to submit, upon request, their requalification written examinations or operating tests for NRC review.
The staff points out that these changes will allow the redirection of NRC license examiner resources so that the examiners will be able to perform more comprehchsive inspections of licensees' operator requalification programs.
We believe that these proposed amendments to 10 CFR Part 55 will be beneficial and recommend their adoption.
Sincerely, n
Amt AN 1
