| ==Dear Mr. Batson:== | | ==Dear Mr. Batson:== |
| During the period June 9 - 12, 2014, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) administered operating tests to employees of your company who had applied for licenses to operate the Oconee Nuclear Station. At the conclusion of the tests, the examiners discussed preliminary findings related to the operating tests and the written examination submittal with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report. The written examination was administered by your staff on June 18, 2014.
| | In a telephone conversation on January 2, 2014, between Mr. Louis Nowell, NRC Exam Team Supervisor and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Oconee Nuclear Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week of June 9, 2014. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 16, 2014. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 12, 2014. |
|
| |
|
| Two Reactor Operator (RO) and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants passed both the operating test and written examination. There were no post-administration comments.
| | As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, 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. |
|
| |
|
| Seven applicants were issued licenses commensurate with the level of examination administered. A Simulator Fidelity Report is included in this report as Enclosure 2.
| | To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test outline by March 24, 2014. Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Chief Examiner provided the written examination outline to your staff in December, 2013. The operating test will be due by April 29, 2014, the written examination will be due by April 7, 2014 and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by April 7, 2014. 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 outline, examination, and test before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval. All materials shall be complete and |

| | |
| The NRC examiners evaluated two Reactor Operator (RO) and five Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) applicants using the guidelines contained in NUREG-1021. The examiners administered the operating tests during the period of June 9 - 12, 2014.
| |
| | |
| Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station training staff administered the written examination on June 18, 2014. Evaluations of applicants and reviews of associated documentation were performed to determine if the applicants, who applied for licenses to operate the Oconee Nuclear Station, met the requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 55,

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 February 19, 2014 Mr. Scott Site Vice President Duke Energy Corporation Oconee Nuclear Station
7800 Rochester Highway
Seneca, SC 29672-0752
SUBJECT: OCONEE NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000269/2014301, 05000270/2014301 and
05000287/2014301
Dear Mr. Batson:
In a telephone conversation on January 2, 2014, between Mr. Louis Nowell, NRC Exam Team Supervisor and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Oconee Nuclear Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the week of June 9, 2014. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 16, 2014. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 12, 2014.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and written examination based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1, 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.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test outline by March 24, 2014. Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Chief Examiner provided the written examination outline to your staff in December, 2013. The operating test will be due by April 29, 2014, the written examination will be due by April 7, 2014 and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by April 7, 2014. 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 outline, examination, and test 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. 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 30 days before the first 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 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, which expires on April 30, 2016. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> 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). Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
