Dear Mr. Stoddard:  
                INITIAL EXAMINATION (05000280/2017301 AND 05000281/2017301)
Dear Mr. Stoddard:
During a telephone conversation on March 29, 2017, between Mr. Richard Philpot, Initial
License Training & Simulator Supervisor, Mr. Mike Meyer, Lead Exam Writer, Mr. Paul Orrison,
Exam Writer, and Mr. Michael Donithan, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at the Surry Power Station. The on-site preparatory
week is scheduled for the week of October 2, 2017. The operating test is scheduled to be
administered during the weeks of October 30 and November 6, 2017. The written examination
is scheduled to be administered the week of November 6, 2017.
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and
written examinations 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.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 by June 2,
2017. Mr. Donithan provided the written examination outline to your staff in November, 2016.
The operating tests, written examinations, and supporting reference materials identified in
Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by August 16, 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 outlines, examinations, and tests 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.


D. Stoddard                                  2
During a telephone conversation on March 29, 2017, between Mr. Richard Philpot, Initial
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 NRC takes
licensing action on all the applicants and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are
complete.
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 waiver or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), at least 60 days before the first examination
date (if possible). Contact Mr. Donithan to determine the method for submission of waiver or
excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license 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 preliminary
applications are not received 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 guideline for receiving waiver or excusal requests calls for 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 licensee to the NRC are not binding.
Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form
398, Personal Qualifications Statement - Licensee, or as directed by Mr. Donithan 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.

SUBJECT: SURRY POWER STATION - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR

INITIAL EXAMINATION (05000280/2017301 AND 05000281/2017301)

Dear Mr. Stoddard:

During a telephone conversation on March 29, 2017, between Mr. Richard Philpot, Initial

License Training & Simulator Supervisor, Mr. Mike Meyer, Lead Exam Writer, Mr. Paul Orrison,

Exam Writer, and Mr. Michael Donithan, Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the

administration of licensing examinations at the Surry Power Station. The on-site preparatory

week is scheduled for the week of October 2, 2017. The operating test is scheduled to be

administered during the weeks of October 30 and November 6, 2017. The written examination

is scheduled to be administered the week of November 6, 2017.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and

written examinations 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.

To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test

outline and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 by June 2,

2017. Mr. Donithan provided the written examination outline to your staff in November, 2016.

The operating tests, written examinations, and supporting reference materials identified in

Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by August 16, 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 outlines, examinations, and tests 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.

D. Stoddard 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 NRC takes

licensing action on all the applicants and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are

complete.

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 waiver or excusal requests (if any) (Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) approval number 3150-0090), at least 60 days before the first examination

date (if possible). Contact Mr. Donithan to determine the method for submission of waiver or

excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator license 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 preliminary

applications are not received 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 guideline for receiving waiver or excusal requests calls for 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 licensee to the NRC are not binding.

Submittals addressing waivers or excusals, or both, should be in writing (i.e., using NRC Form
