SUBJECT:

REACTOR OPERATOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS In a telephone conversation between Mr. Dan Packer of the Training Department and Mr. R. A. Cooley, Chief, Operator Licensing Section, arrangements were made for administration of examinations at the Waterford 3 facility. The written examinations are scheduled for March 17, 1986.

We have the reference material listed in Attachment 1, " Reference Material Requirements for Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations." Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by various facilities. We will maintain the material for your next setofexams(scheduledfortheweekofAugust25,19g.

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

Attachment 2, " Administration of Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations," describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Training department personnel should review and become familiar with these requirements.

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 i eligibility has been determined. If applications are not reviewed at least 30 l days before the examination dates, it is likely that a postponement will be I necessary.

This request for information was 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 I and Budget, Reports Management Room 320B, New Executive Office Building,  ;
