Dear Mr. Reed:
SUBJECT:
OPERATOR AND SENIOR OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATIONS I
In a telephone conversation between Mr. K. Bartes, and Mr. T. Reidinger, arrangements were made for the administration of examinations at the Braidwood facility.
The operating examinations are scheduled for the week of May 11, 1987.
In order for us to meet this schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1 " Reference i
Material Requirements for Operator / Senior Operator Licensing Examinations"
^
by' March 11, 1987. Any delay in receiving properly bound and indexed reference material will result in a delay in administering the examinations.
4 Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to i
best utilize cur limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities. Therefore, missing the March 11, 1987 deadline, even by a few days, will likely result in a long delay since it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. K. Bartes i
has been advised of our reference material requirements, the number of reference material sets that are required, and the examiners' names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.
To better document the simulator examinations, the chief examiner will have the facility simulator operator record prespecified plant conditicns (i.e., plant pressure, temperature, pressurizer level, etc.), for each simulator scenario.
The candidate will be responsible for providing this information, along with any appeal of his simulator operating examination. Therefore, the facility training staff should retain the simulator examination scenario information until all candidates taking the examination have either passed the operating examination or all appeals filed by the candidates who failed the operating 4
examination have been completed.

All reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applicaticr.s should normally be submitted at least 60 days prior to 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 prior to 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.
Corrments on burden and duplication n'ay be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
If you have any questions regarding the exarrination procedures and requirements, please contact T. Reidinger at 312 790-5551.
Sincerely, Or181nal Signed By C. U. Hen!

ENCLOSURE 1 Reference Material Requirements for Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations 1.
The following on the plant reference simulator:
a.
List of all readily available initialization points.
b.
List of all preset malfunctions with a clear identification number. The list should include cause and effect infomation.
Specifically, for each malfunction a concise description of the expected result, or range of results, that will occur upon implementation should be provided. Additionally, an indication of which annunciators are to be initially expected shculd be given.
c.
A description of simulator failure capabilities for valves, breakers, indicators and alarms.
d.
Where the capability exists, an explanation of the ability to vary the severity of a particular malfunction should be provided, i.e., ability to vary the size of a given LOCA or steam leak, or the ability to cause a slow failure of a component such as a feed pump, turbine generator or major valve (e.g., drifting shut of a main feedwater control valve).
e.
An indication of modeling conditions / problems that may impact the examination.
f.
Identification of significant differences between the simulator and the control room, g.
Copies of facility generated scenarios that expose the candidates to situations of degraded pressure control (PWR), degraded heat may be provided (y (PWR and BWR) and containment challenges (B removal capabilit voluntary by licensee).
h.
Simulator instructor's manual (voluntary by licensee).
1.
Description of the scenarios used for the training class (voluntary by licensce).
