SUBJECT:
SEABROOK STATION - REACTOR OPERATOR RETAKE LICENSE EXAMINATION
Dear Bob Coffey:
In a telephone conversation on March 27, 2023, between Thomas Setzer, Chief Examiner, and Mark Martellotta, Exam Developer, arrangements were made for the administration of an operator licensing re-examination at Seabrook Station during the week of July 10, 2023.
As agreed upon during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examination based on the guidelines in Revision 12 to 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 examination is administered.
The written examination outline was provided to your staff on March 27, 2023. The written examination and supporting reference materials identified in NUREG-1021, Examination Standard (ES)-2.1, Preparing for Operator Licensing Initial Examinations, will be due by May 26, 2023. Pursuant to Title 10 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. Delays in receiving the required materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examination to be cancelled or rescheduled.
To conduct the requested written examination, your staff will need to provide adequate space and accommodations. ES-1.2, Guidelines for Taking NRC Examinations, contains a number of NRC guidelines for the written examination as it is being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator waiver or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 3150-0090) at least 60 days before the first examination date (if possible). Contact Thomas Setzer to determine the method for submission of the waiver or excusal requests.

Preliminary reactor operator applications (OMB control number 3150-0090) and medical certifications (OMB control number 3150-0024) should be submitted at least 30 days before the first examination date. If the NRC does not receive the preliminary application 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 waiver or excusal requests call for their receipt 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 facility licensee to the NRC are not binding. Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form 398 or as directed by Thomas Setzer 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.
