                                              REGION II
In a telephone conversation on January 31, 2011, between Mr. J. Derwood Tootle - Operations Training Supervisor, Anthony Ball - Exam Developer, Charlie Edmunds - Exam Developer, and Mr. Phillip Capehart - Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The operating test is scheduled to be administered during the two weeks of June 6 and June 13, 2011. The written examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 20, 2011. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 16, 2011.  
                            245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200
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."

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 March 28, 2011. Mr. Phillip Capehart provided the written examination outline to your  
                                          February 2, 2011
staff on November 29, 2010. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201, will be due by April 20, 2011.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

REGION II

245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200

ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257

February 2, 2011

Mr. Dennis R. Madison

Vice President

Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant

11028 Hatch Parkway North

Baxley, GA 31513

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

EXAMINATION 05000321/2011301 AND 05000366/2011301

Dear Mr. Madison:

In a telephone conversation on January 31, 2011, between Mr. J. Derwood Tootle - Operations

Training Supervisor, Anthony Ball - Exam Developer, Charlie Edmunds - Exam Developer, and

Mr. Phillip Capehart - Senior Operations Engineer, arrangements were made for the

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

is scheduled to be administered during the two weeks of June 6 and June 13, 2011. The written

examination is scheduled to be administered the week of June 20, 2011. The on-site

preparatory week is scheduled for the week of May 16, 2011.

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 March 28, 2011. Mr. Phillip Capehart provided the written examination outline to your

staff on November 29, 2010. The operating test, written examination, and the supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201, will be due by April 20, 2011.

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 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 (Office of Management and Budget
