SUBJECT:
INITIAL EXAMINATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-458/99-301 1
Dear Mr. Edington:
In a telephone conversation on August 19,19L3, between Mr. Leonard Woods, Supervisor, i
Training Standards, and Mr. Michael Murphy, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at River Bend Station, during the week of February 22, 1999.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on l
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 meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by October 23,1998. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting i
reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 and as discussed with the chief examiner, will be due by December 24,1998. Any delay in receiving the required examination 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 January 25,1999.
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, it will be necessary j
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, j
- temperatures, and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests until the examination I
l results ar'e final.
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in g
f effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
i To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget I
(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),
