April 25, 1985 Florida Power Corporation ATTN: Mr. Walter S. Wilgus Vice President Nuclear Operations P. O. Box 14042, M.A.C.H-2 St. Petersburg, FL 33733 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR REQUALIFICATION EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. M. Penovich, Crystal River Operations Training Supervisor, and Mr. L. Lawyer, Operator Licensing Section, arrange-ments were confirmed for the administration of requalification examinations at the Crystal River Nuclear Plant.

Those operators and senior operators, numbering approximately 18, who successfully complete your first accelerated requalification training cycle will be examined by the NRC during the week of May 13, 1985. A second set of examinations is scheduled to be administered during the week of June 17, 1985, to those operators and senior operators who successfully complete the second accelerated requalification cycle.

Written examinations will be administered to all candidates, but walk-through examinations will be administered to only those candidates who did not pass an NRC walk-through requalification examination in March 1985. Those operators and senior operators who passed the NRC licensing examinations administered in December 1984, and/or the NRC requalification examinations administered in March 1985, are exempt from examination during both of these periods. Addi-tional exemptions will be granted for those operators and senior operators, identified in writing by Florida Power Corporation, who will not be assigned duties requiring an operating license after the week of June 30, 1985.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facili-ties in order to properly conduct the written examinations. The enclosure,

" Administration of Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Penovich has also been informed of these requirements.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the examination procedures and requirements, please contact Mr. Bruce Wilson, 404/221-5542, or Mr. L. Lawyer, 404/221-5598.

Sincerely, (Original signed by VLBrownlee 8506210429 850425 PDR ADOCK 05000302 V PDR Virgil L. Brownlee, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 2 Division of Reactor Projects
