Dear Dr. Cooper:
This letter is to confirm our understanding that your Senior Operator License has expired and from discussions with the Chief Reactor Supervisor that you i will not perform any actions requiring an operator license until you are relicensed. l The NRC staff recognizes that there was confusion over changes in the regulations among a number of facilities and individuals with regard to ,
license renewal, and that your activities have been as required by the !
NRC-approved requ. fication program for your facility. However, as a licensed operator, you have a personal responsibility to ensure that you comply with all the provisions of your license, including ensuring that you l have an active license if you perform licensed activities. Failure to comply with license requirements in the future could result in enforcement action <
against you. )
The NRC plans to inspect your facility to determine if the facility allowed l you to perform duties requiring an operator license after your license had expired. Such violations have resulted in enforcement action at another l facility and could result in enforcement action against your facility.
You are not required to respond to this letter. However, if you choose to provide a response, please provide it to me within 30 days at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop 011-820, Washington, D.C. 20555. ;
1 Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, requires that records or documents compiled for l enforcement purposes be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
