Dear Mr. Madison:
In a telephone conversation on March 12, 2012, between Mr. Charlie Edmund, Examination
Group Lead, Mr. Anthony Ball, Plant Operations Instructor, Mr. Edward Jones, Plant Operations
Instructor, and Mr. Edwin Lea, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the
administration of licensing examinations at Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The operating test is
scheduled to be administered during the weeks of June 18 and June 25, 2012. The written
examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 25, 2012. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 28, 2012.
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.
To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the operating test
outline by April 12, 2012. Mr. Edwin Lea provided the written examination outline to your staff in
December 2011. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by April 30, 2012. 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. 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
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.
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, 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.
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 the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under approval number 3150-0018, which expires on
February 28, 2013. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 500 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and

SUBJECT: EDWIN I. HATCH - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL

EXAMINATION 05000321/2012301 AND 05000366/2012301

Dear Mr. Madison:

In a telephone conversation on March 12, 2012, between Mr. Charlie Edmund, Examination

Group Lead, Mr. Anthony Ball, Plant Operations Instructor, Mr. Edward Jones, Plant Operations

Instructor, and Mr. Edwin Lea, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the

administration of licensing examinations at Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The operating test is

scheduled to be administered during the weeks of June 18 and June 25, 2012. The written

examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 25, 2012. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 28, 2012.

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.

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

outline by April 12, 2012. Mr. Edwin Lea provided the written examination outline to your staff in

December 2011. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference

materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by April 30, 2012. 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. 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.

SNC, Inc. 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 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, 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.

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 the Office of
