Dear Mr. Hutchinson:
'In a telephone conversation on February 2,1998, between Mr. Robert Byford, Operations Training Supervisor, and Mr. Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on
. the guidelines in interim 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 mest the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by May 3,1998. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by July 2,1998. Any delay I
in receiving the required examinat?on and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. A validation of the final examination material will be conducted at your facility the week of August 17,1998.
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.
