Dear Mr. Beard:
'
!
In a telephone conversation on January 23 1997, between Mr. George Ho)per,
License Examiner, and Mr. Johnnie Smith, arrangements were made for t1e
administration of licensing examinations at the Crystal River Nuclear Power
Plant. The operating tests are scheduled for the week of June 16, 1997.
i
This examination will be developed and administered as part of the NRC pilot
initial examination process based on your staff's request to participate in
the pilot process. The NRC pilot initial examination process will permit your
staff to draft the written examinations and operating tests for operator and
,
,
senior operator license applicants. The NRC will review and a) prove the
proposed examinations and tests and independently administer t1e operating
'
i
tests to license applicants.
Your staff will not administer any portion of
the operating tests: however, they will administer the written examinations.
t
The NRC will review the graded written examinations, grade each applicant's
operating test performance, make the final pass or fail decisions, and issue
'
licenses, as appropriate.
Your staff may develop the licensing examinations in accordance with the
guidelines in Revision 8 of NUREG 1021. " Operator Licensing Examiner
3
Standards". The most recent version found in the public domain may be used to
support examination development.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary fcr your staff to furnish the
'
proposed examination outlines by April 15, 1997. The proposed written
-
examinations, operating tests, and the sup)orting reference materials
identified in Attachment 2 of ES 201 will 3e due by May 12, 1997. Any delay
-
in receiving the required reference and examination materials or the submittal
of inadequate or incomplete materials may result in the examinations being
rescheduled.
Your staff will prepare and, after NRC review and a) proval, administer the
written examinations in accordance with ES 401 and ES 402 of NUREG 1021. The
NRC's guidelines for administering the written examinations are described in
ES 402.

will be in effect while the written examination and operating tests are being
i
