o May 18, 1999 Mr. Guy G. Campbell Vice President - Nuclear FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station 5501 North State Route 2 Oak Harbor, OH 43449-9760

Dear Mr. Campbell:

In a telephone conversation on May 17,1999 between Mr. Scott Lindsey, Initial License )

Instructor, and Mr. Michael Gielby, Rlll Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station the week of 1

September 13,1999. In addition, the NRC will make an examination validation visit to your '

facility the week of August 30,1999.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Interim Revision 8, of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." However, contrary to the current guidance in NUREG-1021, if l

your staff develops the written examination outline using a systematic sampling methodology, then they will not be subject to the restrictions described in Section D.2.a of ES-201. The NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by July 15,1999. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by August 13,1999.

Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled, 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.
