SUBJECT:
REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT
Dear Mr. Beasley:
In a telephone conversation on July 27,1999, between Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior License Examiner and Mr. Robert Brown, Manager of Training and Emergency Preparedness,
arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant during the week of December 13,1999.
As agreed during the telephone conversation the NRC will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 8 of NUREG-1021," Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors. Your staff will be given the opportunity to review the examinations during the week of November 29,1999.
To meet the above schedule, your staff furnished the reference materials identified in of ES-201 on June 1,1999.
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),
and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first examination date. 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 g
been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the first examination date.
