UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD., SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSLYVANIA 19406-2713 November 23, 2021 Mr. Daniel G. Stoddard Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Dominion Energy, Inc.

SUBJECT:
MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT 3 - SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR RETAKE LICENSE EXAMINATION
Dear Mr. Stoddard:
In a telephone conversation on November 17, 2021, between Mr. Brian Fuller, Chief Examiner, and Mr. William Forrestt, Exam Developer, arrangements were made for the administration of the retake licensing examination at Millstone Power Station, Unit 3 during the week of January 17, 2022.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on the guidelines in Revision 11, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRCs 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 by December 17, 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 Commission 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. Delays in receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be rescheduled.
To conduct the requested operating test, 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 NRC takes licensing action on the application and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete.
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the operating test is being administered.
D. Stoddard 2
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary senior reactor operator license applications (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), and waiver requests (if any)
(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the examination date. If the applications are not received at least 30 days before the examination date, a postponement may be necessary. Signed applications certifying that all training has been completed should be submitted at least 14 days before the examination date.
Although the guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests call for at least 30 days before the examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the 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 Statement-Licensee, or as directed by Mr. Brian Fuller 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.
