SUBJECT: H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED

OPERATOR RE-TAKE INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000261/2016302

Dear R. Glover:

In a meeting on May 24, 2016, between Mr. Christopher McComber, Training Instructor and

Mr. Joseph Rackley, Training Supervisor, and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations

Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at

H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant. The simulator portion of an operating test is scheduled to

be administered during the week of July 25, 2016. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled

for the week of July 25, 2016.

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

the guidelines in Revision 10, of NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for

Power Reactors. The NRCs regional 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

outline by June 2, 2016. The operating tests and supporting reference materials identified in

Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by July 7, 2016. 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

Commission 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.

To conduct the requested 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.

R. Glover 2

Appendix E of NUREG-1021 contains a number of NRC policies and guidelines that will be in

effect while the 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 (Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),

and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least by July 5, 2016. If the

applications are not received at least 15 days before the examination date, a postponement

may be necessary. Signed application certifying that all remedial training has been completed

should be submitted at least by July 14, 2016.

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 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 2500 hours0.0289 days <br />0.694 hours <br />0.00413 weeks <br />9.5125e-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 to 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, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,

of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available

electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
