SUBJECT:

DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER CONFIRMATION OF INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSE EXAMINATIONS

Dear Mr. Costanzo:

In a letter dated November 20, 2008 (NG-08-0877), your staff requested we schedule an initial

license operator examination during the week of June 20, 2011, or on the alternate week of

June 26, 2011. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examination to start during the

alternate requested week of June 26, 2011. Your staff also requested we schedule an initial

license operator examination during the week of April 8, 2013. We have tentatively scheduled the requested examination to start during the specified week of April 8, 2013. On-site validation

of these examinations is tentatively scheduled to occur approximately three weeks before the

examination week. In the unlikely event that we are unable to support an examination during the scheduled weeks, we will inform you immediately upon discovery of such conditions and

make arrangements to administer the examination at a mutually acceptable date.

We understand that your staff will develop the examinations unless we determine the need for

the NRC to develop an examination. The letter we received indicated that more than nine

applicants were being considered for the examinations. The examinations have been

scheduled for two weeks to accommodate more than nine applicants. If the number of

applicants should decrease below ten applicants, please inform us as soon as possible, as this

will result in a schedule change. Please inform us at your earliest opportunity if you discover you need to change the scheduled date for the examination.

A supplementary letter will be sent to the tr aining department approximately 120 days prior to each of these initial examinations. The letters will inform the training department of the chief

examiner=s name, outline examination security expecta tions, list the materials required by the NRC to conduct the examination, reconfirm the examination dates, and reconfirm the number of

candidates you have in the training program.

If you have any questions concerning this

information, please contact Mr. Dell McNeil of my staff at 630-829-9737.
