Mr. James D. Shiffer, Vice Presider.t Nuclear Power Generation

\l Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 Beale Street San Francisco, California 94106 Subj ect: Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations In a telephone conversation between Mr. Molden, Operations Training Supervisor and Mr. Morrill, Region V Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of the examinations at Diablo Canyon.

The written examinations are scheduled for November 13, 1985. The simulator examinations are scheduled for November 14, 1985 at the Diablo Canyon simulator. The plant oral examinations are scheduled for November 14 and 15, 1985.

In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Attachment 1,

" Reference Material Requirements for Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations," by September 12, 1985. Any delay in receiving this material will result in a delay in administering the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present limited examin,ar manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities. Therefore, missing the September 12, 1985 deadline, even by a few days, likely will result in a long delay, because it may not be possible to reschedule examinations at other facilities. Mr. Molden 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.

The facility management is r unsible for providing adequate space and facilities in order to prope.' conduct the written examinations. Attachment 2

" Administration of Reactor /;.- or Reactor Operator Licensing Written Examinations,"

describes our requirements fei conducting these examinations. Mr. Molden has also been informed of th;,ne requirements.

All reactor operator a:.d senJoe reactor operator license applications normally should be submitted at least t 0 days before 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 af ter candidate eligibility has been determined. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination dates, it is likely that a postponement will be necessary.
