WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555

January 31, 1983

TO: ALL POWER REACTOR LICENSEES, APPLICANTS FOR OPERATING LICENSES, NSS VENDORS, REACTOR VENDORS AND ARCHITECT-ENGINEERS

SUBJECT: CERTIFICATES AND REVISED FORMAT FOR REACTOR OPERATOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR LICENSES (GENERIC LETTER NO. 83-06)

In October 1982, the Commission approved a proposal to issue Certificates to Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators. These Certificates will be suitable for framing and will be issued to all present and future Reactor Operators and Senior Reactor Operators.

At the time of the original licensing, and at license renewal, a standard letter will be sent to each licensed individual, as well as to the plant management, providing details of the license. This letter will constitute that person's authorization to perform licensed duties.

The nuclear industry has long recognized that obtaining an RO or SRO license constitutes a significant technical achievement to which one can point with pride. We hope these Certificates will be a small step in fostering a sense of professionalism and pride in these very critical positions.

Sincerely,

Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
