|
| ==Dear Mr. Batson:==
| | The NRC administered the operating tests during the period of June 9 - 12, 2014. Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station training staff administered the written examination 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 written examination and operating test. Seven applicants were issued licenses commensurate with the level of examination administered. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | There were no post-examination comments. |
|
| |
|
| 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.

| | Report Details 4. OTHER ACTIVITIES 4OA5 Operator Licensing Initial Examinations a. Inspection Scope Members of the Oconee Nuclear Station staff developed both the operating tests and the written examination. All examination material was developed in accordance with the guidelines contained in Revision 9, Supplement 1, of NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC examination team reviewed the proposed examination. Examination changes agreed upon between the NRC and the licensee were made per NUREG-1021, and incorporated into the final version of the examination materials. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | The examiners reviewed the licensees examination security measures while preparing and administering the examinations to ensure examination security and integrity complied with 10 CFR 55.49, Integrity of Examinations and Tests. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | 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, Operators Licenses. |
