Dear Mr. Lippard:

In a telephone conversation on May 25, 2021, Mr. Andreas Goldau, Operations Engineer, and

Ms. Lesley Ainsworth, Supervisor Nuclear Training, made arrangements for the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator requalification program at the

Summer Nuclear Station Unit 1. The inspection is planned for the week of July 19, 2021, which

coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your

facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your

NRC-approved requalification program. It is our understanding that you have committed to

maintain your plant-referenced simulator in accordance with ANSI/ANS-3.5-2009, American

National Standard for Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for Use in Operator Training and

Examination, and that you have also committed to ANSI/ANS-3.4-1983, Medical Certification

and Monitoring of Personnel Requiring Operator Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants.

In accordance with 10 CFR 55.59, the NRC has requested that you submit the material as

specified in paragraph A of the Enclosure, to support the NRC's inspection program needs.

The NRC has further requested that you have all items as specified in paragraph B of the

Ainsworth has been advised of this request and has been provided the name and address of the

NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
