OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION 05000424/2015301 AND 05000425/2015301 | |||
Dear Mr. Taber: | |||
In a telephone conversation on February 12, 2015, between Mr. John Acree, Nuclear | |||
Operations Training Supervisor, Mr. Kenneth and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations | |||
Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the | |||
Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the | |||
weeks of August 31, 2015 and September 14, 2015. The written examination is scheduled to | |||
be administered the week of September 21, 2015. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled | |||
for the week of August 3, 2015. | |||
As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare both the operating test and | |||
written examinations based on the guidelines in Revision 10, 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 furnished the operating test outlines in February 2015. Mr. Richard S. Baldwin | |||
provided written examination outlines to your staff in November 2014. The written | |||
examinations, operating test and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to | |||
ES-201 will be due by May 8, 2015. 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 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 | |||
In a | 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, | |||
be | 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 (Office of Management and Budget | |||
(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024), | |||
and waiver requests (OMB approval number 3150-0090) at least 30 days before the first | |||
