Dear Mr. Peterson:
l
In a telephone conversation on August 4,1997, between Mr. Scott Bradshaw, Operations
Training and Mr. D. Charles Payne, License Examiner, arrangements were made for the
l
administration oflicensinc examinations at the Catawba Nuclear Station during the weeks of
l
December 1 and Decemoer 15,1997.
Your staff will prepare the proposed examinations in accordance with the guidelines in Revision
8, of NUREG-1021, " Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The
NRC regional office will discuss with your staff any examination changes that might be
necessary prior to their administration.
To meet the above scheduie, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the proposed
examination outlines by September 22,1997. The proposed written examinations, operating
tests, Pnd the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES 201 will be due by
October 20,1997. Any delay in receiving the required reference and examination materials or
the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials may result in the examinations being
rescheduled.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary
for your staff to prov!de 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.
Your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license
applications and waiver requests at least 30 days before the first examination date so that the
NRC will be able to revi>w the applications and the medical certifications and evaluate any
reqyested waivers. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination
date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has
been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
