SUBJECT:
SENIOR REACTOR AND REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATIONS -
1 NINE MILE POINT 1
Dear Mr. Mueller:
1 I
in a telephone conversation on September 27,1999, between Mr. J. Williams and Mr. J. Bobka, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at Nine Mile Point 1, during the week of February 14,2000.
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 fumish the examination outlines by December 1,1999. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in the enclosure to this letter will be due by December 29,1999.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the outlines, examinations and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials should be complete and ready-to-use. Any delay in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete i
l materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled.
in order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary l
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.
