Dear Mr. Cottle:
in a telephone conversation on September 22,1997 between Mr. J. Pellet and Mr. J. Calvert, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at South Texas Project during the week of June 1,1998.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on 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 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 January 5,1998. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by March 9,1998.' Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials,/ D-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.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Mar,agement and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 9710030069 970926

Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days bsfore the first examination date.
