B. Hanson UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 May 11, 2020 Mr. Eric Carr President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear LLC - N09 P. O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038
SUBJECT:
HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL LICENSE EXAMINATIONS
Dear Mr. Carr:
In a telephone conversation on May 6, 2020, between Mr. T. Fish, Chief Examiner, and Mr. S. Dennis, Facility Exam Author, arrangements were made for the administration of operator licensing examinations at Hope Creek during the week of February 15, 2021. In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will make an examination validation visit to your facility on January 11, 2021.
As agreed upon during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 11 to NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test outlines by September 11, 2020. The NRC staff previously provided your staff the written exam outline. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by November 20, 2020. Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the examinations and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and ready to use. We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or Safeguards Information in your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. Delays in receiving the required materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be cancelled or rescheduled.
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, along with any video and audio recordings of the dynamic operating tests, until the NRC takes licensing action on all the applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete.
E. Carr 2 Appendix E to 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 or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date, (if possible).
Contact Mr. Fish, Chief Examiner, to determine the method for submission of the waiver or excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (OMB control number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150-0024) should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the preliminary 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 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. Fish 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.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This letter contains information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0018.
The burden to the public for these voluntary information collections is estimated to average 2,250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> per examination or response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collections. You may submit comments on any aspect of the information collections, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to FOIA, Privacy and Information Collections Branch (T-5F53), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by electronic mail to infocollects.resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.
E. Carr 3 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the agencys Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection through the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible on the NRCs Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
After you have been notified by the NRC Chief Examiner or Branch Chief that operator licenses have been issued, please direct any inquiries concerning a formal presentation of certificates to this office. Our goal is to have the operator certificates available for your celebration. At least one month advance notice of your celebration arrangements would be appreciated to plan our senior manager attendance and process the certificates.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Dennis has been advised of the policies and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRCs examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Fish at (610) 337-5369, or contact me at (610) 337-5306.
Sincerely, X /RA/
