SUBJECT: CALLAWAY PLANT, UNIT 1 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR

LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000483/2017301

Dear Mr. Diya:

In a telephone conversation on December 19, 2016, between Mr. John Kirkland, Senior

Operations Engineer, and Mr. Phillip Swan, Operations Supervisor, arrangements were made

for the administration of operator licensing examinations at your Callaway Plant, Unit 1, during

the week of September 11, 2017.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on

the guidelines in Revision 11, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for

Power Reactors. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region IV Office will discuss

with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.

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

outlines by June 21, 2017. The written examination outline was provided to your staff on

January 4, 2017. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials

identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 19, 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 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. Delays in

receiving the required materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may

cause the examinations to be cancelled or rescheduled. In addition, your support for on-site

validation of the examinations is required during the week of August 14, 2017.

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

F. Diya 2

should retain the original simulator performance data (e.g., system pressures, temperatures,

and levels) generated during the dynamic operating tests along with any video and audio

recordings of the dynamic operating tests until the NRC takes its licensing action on all of the

applications and any adjudicatory actions on any hearing demands are complete. Appendix E

to 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 able). Mr. Kirkland should be contacted to determine the method for submission of the

waiver and/or excusal requests. Preliminary reactor operator and senior reactor operator

license applications (OMB approval number 3150-0090) and medical certifications

(OMB approval 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 minimum guidelines for receiving waiver or excusal requests is 30 days before the

first examination date (preliminary) and 14 days before the first examination date (final), the

requests should be submitted as early in the process as possible (see the 60-day guideline,

above). Resolutions resulting from verbal inquiries by the licensee to the NRC are not binding.

Submittals addressing waivers and/or excusals should be in writing (i.e., on NRC Form 398, or

as directed when Mr. Kirkland is contacted to determine the method for submission). The

NRCs final decision on whether to grant a waiver or excusal will be documented on the final

(not preliminary) NRC Form 398 submitted for the applicant and will not be provided until the

final application is submitted to the NRC.

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved

The burden to the public for these voluntary information collections is estimated to average
