Dear Mr. Shannon:
1
Subject:
Reactor Operator and Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations Training) phone conversation between Mr. John Wyrick (Manager, Licensingan In a tele were made for the administration of the examinations at the Washington Nuclear Project, Unit 2 (WNP-2).
The written examinations are scheduled for September 22, 1987. The operating examinations are scheduled for the period of September 23, 1987 through October 2, 1987 at the WNP-2 simulation facility and operating site.
In order for us to meet the above schedule, it will' be necessary for the facility to furnish the approved reference material listed in Enclosure 1,
" Reference Material Requirements for Reactor / Senior Reactor Operator Licensing Examinations," by July 24, 1987. Any delay in receiving properly j
bound and indexed reference material will result in a delay in administering i
the examinations. Our examinations are scheduled far in advance with considerable planning to utilize our present limited examiner manpower and to meet the examination dates requested by the various facilities.
Therefore, missing the July 24, 1987 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. Wyrick has been advised of the reference material sets that are required, and the examiner's names and addresses where each set is to be mailed.
The facility management is responsible for providing adequate space and accommodations in order to properly conduct the written examinations., " Requirements for Administration of Written Examinations,"
i describes our requirements for conducting these examinations. Mr. Wyrick' has also been informed of these requirements.
In addition, to better document simulator examinations, the chief examiner will have the facility simulator operator record prespecified plant conditions (i.e., plant pressure, temperature, pressurizer level, etc.), for each simulator scenario. The candidate will be rerponsible for providing this information, along with any appeal of his simulator operating examination. Therefore, the facility training staff should retain the simulator examination scenario information until all candidates taking the examination have either passed the operating examination or all appeals filed by the candidates who failed the operating examinatio'n have been completed.

Mr. Jack Shannon 2
June 17, 1987, also contains the Rules and Guidance that will be in effect during the administration of the written examination. The facility management is responsible for ensuring that all candidates are aware of these Rules.
All reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications should normally be submitted at least 60 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 after 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.
This request for information was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Clearance Number 3150-0101, which expires May 31, 1989.
Comments on burden and duplication may be directed to the Office of Management and Budget, Reports Management Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
The facility staff review of the written examination will be conducted in accordance with requirements specified in Enclosure 3. " Requirements for Facility Review of Written Examination." Mr. Wyrick has been informed of these requirements.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
If you have any questions regarding the examination procedures and requirements, please contact Mr. Thomas R. Meadows at (415) 943-3867, orMr.JohnElinat(415)943-3728.
Sincerely,
