Dear Mr. Tynan:
In a telephone conversation on October 12, 2011, between Mr. Greg Wainwright, Operations
Training Instructor, and Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made
for the administration of licensing examinations at Vogtle. The operating test is scheduled to be
administered during the weeks of March 26, 2012, April 9, 2012; and April 16, 2012. The written
examination is scheduled to be administered either the week of April 16, 2012, or the week of
April 23, 2012, depending on the need for the third week of the operating test. The on-site
preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 5, 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 December 12, 2011. Mr. Mark Bates provided the written examination outline to your
staff in June, 2011. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference
materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 17, 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 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 at 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 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document
system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-
rm.adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Mr. Wainwright has been advised of the policies
and guidelines referenced in this letter. If you have any questions regarding the NRC's
examination procedures and guidelines, please contact Mr. Michael Meeks at (404) 997-4467,

ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257

October 21, 2011

Mr. Tom E. Tynan

Vice President

Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant

7821 River Road

Waynesboro, GA 30830

SUBJECT: VOGTLE - NOTIFICATION OF LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION

05000424/2012301 AND 05000425/2012301

Dear Mr. Tynan:

In a telephone conversation on October 12, 2011, between Mr. Greg Wainwright, Operations

Training Instructor, and Mr. Mark Bates, Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made

for the administration of licensing examinations at Vogtle. The operating test is scheduled to be

administered during the weeks of March 26, 2012, April 9, 2012; and April 16, 2012. The written

examination is scheduled to be administered either the week of April 16, 2012, or the week of

April 23, 2012, depending on the need for the third week of the operating test. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of March 5, 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 December 12, 2011. Mr. Mark Bates provided the written examination outline to your

staff in June, 2011. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference

materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by January 17, 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.
