SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-285/99-301

Dear Mr. Gambir:

In a telephone conversation on February 8,1999, between Messrs. C. Ralrick, of your staff, and John Pellet and Tom Stetka of the NRC Region IV Operations Branch, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at your Fort Calhoun Station during the week of October 18,1999.

The NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8, of NUREG-1021,

" Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." In accordance with the guidelines in Attachment 5 of ES-201, your staff will be given the opportunity to review the draft examinations in the Region IV office during the week of September EO,1999.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 by March 31,1999. Any delay in receiving the requested reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. A validation of the final examination material will be conducted at your facility the week of September 27,1999.

In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary for your staff to provide adequate space and accommodations in accordance with ES-402, and to make the simulation facility available on the dates noted above. In accordance with ES-302, your staff should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination results are final. ,

Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.

To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
