SUBJECT:

REACTOR OPERATOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS AND REQUALIFICATION EXAMINATIONS In telephone conversations between Mr. Ralph Cooley, Chief, Operator Licensing Section, and Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) training personnel, arrangements were made for administration of examinations at AN0-2.

The written examinations are scheduled for May 13 and July 15, 1986. The plant oral examinations are scheduled for May 14,15, and July 16, 17, 1986.

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations. Attachment 1,

" Administration of Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations.

Unit 2 training personnel have been informed of these requirements.

A full set of applicable ANO-2 operating procedures and instructions is maintained and updated by NRC Region IV for use in developing license examinations. Additional information requirements will be handled on an individual basis and will not impact the examination schedule.

All reactor and senior reactor operator license applications normally should be submitted at least 60 days before the first examination dates so that we will be able to review training and experience of the candidates, process medical certifications, and prepare final examiner assignments after candidate eligibility has been determined. If applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination dates, it is likely that a postponement will be necessary.

Request for information is approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Clearance Number 3050-0101, which expires June 30, 1986. Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget.
