SUBJECT: ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR

RETAKE INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000335/2021301 AND 05000389/2021301

Dear Mr. Moul:

During a telephone conversation on February 24, 2021, between Mr. Travis Ouret, Lead NRC

Exam Author and Mr. Phillip Capehart, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made

for the administration of a licensing examination at the St. Lucie Nuclear Plant. The written

examination is scheduled to be administered the week of May 17, 2021.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the written examination

based on the guidelines in Revision 11 of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination

Standards for Power Reactors." The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional

office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examination is

administered. Your staff has also agreed to make copies of all examination materials that are

necessary for administering the examination.

Mr. Phillip Capehart provided a written examination outline to your staff on February 26, 2021.

Pursuant to Title 10, Section 55.40(b)(3), of the Code of Federal Regulations

(10 CFR 55.40(b)(3)), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall approve the

examination before it is submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be

complete and ready-to-use.

We request that any personal, proprietary, sensitive unclassified, or safeguards information in

your response be contained in a separate enclosure and appropriately marked. 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.

To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor

operator and senior reactor operator waiver and/or excusal requests (Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if

possible). Contact Mr. Capehart to determine the method for submission of the waiver or

excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications

(OMB approval number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-

0024) should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the applications

are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be

necessary. Final signed applications certifying that all training has been completed and

requesting any waivers or excusals, as applicable, should be submitted at least 14 days before

the first examination date.

Although the guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests call for at least 30 days before

the first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the

requests should be submitted as early as possible in the process (see the 60-day guideline

above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the licensee to the NRC are not binding.

Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form

398, Personal Qualifications StatementLicensee, or as directed by Mr. Capehart when

contacting him to determine the method for submission). The NRC will document its final

decision on whether to grant a waiver or excusal on the final (not preliminary) NRC Form 398

submitted for the applicant. The NRC will not provide its decision until the final application is

submitted to the agency.
