REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA  30303-1257
  April 5, 2017
Mr. George Lippard III, Vice President
Nuclear Operations
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company
Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Post Office Box 88, Mail Code 800 Jenkinsville, SC  29065
SUBJECT: VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED  OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000395/2017301
Dear Mr. Lippard:
During a meeting on March 16, 2017, between Mr. Robert Johnston, Lead Developer, and 
Mr. Daniel Bacon, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration
of licensing examinations at the Virgil C. Summer (Unit 1) Nuclear Station.  The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the week of September 18, 2017.  The written examination
is scheduled to be administered the week of September 25, 2017.  The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of August 28, 2017.
As agreed during the meeting, your staff will prepare both the operating test and written
examination based on the guidelines in Revision 11, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing
Examination Standards for Power Reactors."  The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.  Your staff has also agreed to make copies of all examination materials that are necessary for administering the examination.
 
Your staff provided the NRC regional office wi
th the operating test out
lines on December 15, 2016.  Mr. Mark Bates provided the written examination outline to your staff on September 29, 2016.  The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference materials identified
in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 12, 2017.  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 examinations before they are 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.  Any delay in
receiving the required examination and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or
incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. 
G. Lippard 2
In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating tests, 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 examination results are final.
 
Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in effect while the written examinations and operating tests are being administered.
To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license applications, medical certifications, and waiver
requests (if any) at least 60 days before the first examination date.  If the applications are not
received at least 60 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 first examination date.
 
This letter contains information collections that are subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018.  The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2500 hours per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, writing
the examinations, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.  Send comments on any aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Information and Records Management Branch (T-6 F33), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by Internet electronic mail at infocollectsresource@nrc.gov; and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0018), Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.
The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be
 
available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component
of the NRC's document system (ADAMS).  ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
