4 . r APR 0 81988 Docket No. 50-27 c

Mr. William E. Wilson Associate Director .

Washington State University Nuclear Radiation Contact ,

Pullman, Washington 99164

Subject:

Reactor Operator Licensing Examination In a telephone conversation between yourself and Mr. Gary Johnston, Examiner, ,

arrangements were made for the administration of the examinations at the Washington State Triga Reactor.

The written examination is scheduled for June 23, 1988. The operating ,

examination is scheduled for June 24, 1988. ,

In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Attachment 1 "Reference Material Requirements for Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations," by April 29, 1988. Any delay in receiving properly bound and  :

indexed reference material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. The examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable  !

planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the  ;

examination dates requested by the various facilities. Therefore, missing the April 29, 1988 deadline, even by a few days, likely will result in a long '

delay because it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. You have been advised of the reference material sets that are required, and the examiner's names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.

t

The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and

facilities in order to properly conduct the written examinations.

Attachment 2, "Requirements for Administration of Written Examinations,"

i describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. You have also been informed of these requirenents.

Attachment 2, also contains the Rules and Guidance that will be in effect during the administration of the written examination. The facility management is responsible for ensuring that all candidates are aware of these rules, t

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

This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Clearance Number 3150-0101, which expires May 31, 1989.

Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.

The facility staff review of the written examination will be conducted in accordance with requirements specified in Enclosure 3 "Requirements for Facility Review of Written Examination." You have also been informed of these requirements.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the examination procedures and requirements, please contact Mr. John Elin, 415-945-3728 or Mr. Gary Johnston, 415-943-3758, in Region V.

Sincerely
