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
Enclosure available for review for the inspectors on the first day they arrive on site. Ms.
Ainsworth has been advised of this request and has been provided the name and address of the
NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
