SUBJECT:

REQUALIFICATION PROGRAM EVALUATION In a telephone conversation between Mr. Bill Marshall, Lead Licensed Operator Instructor, and Mr. Sandy Lawyer, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for an evaluation of the requalification program at the Surry Power Station. The evaluation visit is scheduled for the period November 18 to December 20, 1985.

For this visit, the NRC examiner will administer NRC prepared written, oral, and simulator examinations. When the NRC examiner arrives at the site, he will meet with the appropriate facility personnel to review the schedule for these examinations. For the examiner to adequately prepare for this visit, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1, " Reference Material Requirements for Requali-fication Program Evaluations," by September 18, 1985. Mr. Marshall has been advised of our reference material requirements and where they are to be sent.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations. Enclosure 2, "Administra-tion of Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Marshall has also been informed of these requirements.

This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Clearance Number 3150-0101, which exp' ires on June 30, 1986. Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

Sincerely, (Original Signed By)
