Mr. R. J. Duncan, II.

Vice President

Hartsville, SC 29550

SUBJECT: H.B. ROBINSON NUCLEAR STATION - REVISION - NOTIFICATION OF

LICENSED OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION - 05000261/2011301

Dear Mr. Duncan:

In a telephone conversation on December 12, 2010, between Mr. Rick Moore, Examination

Development Supervisor and Mr. Richard S. Baldwin, Senior Operations Engineer,

arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the H.B. Robinson

Nuclear Station. The operating test has been rescheduled to be administered during the week

of February 28, 2011, and March 07, 2011. The written examination that is scheduled to be

administered on March 22, 2011, has not changed. The on-site preparatory week scheduled for

the week of February 7, 2011, has not changed.

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 15, 2010. Mr. Baldwin provided a written examination outline to your staff

on August 18, 2010. The written examination and the supporting reference materials identified

in Attachment 3 to ES-201, was received on January 18, 2011. The operating test and its

supporting reference materials will be due January 18, 2011.

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.

CP&L 2

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.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of

Management and Budget. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is

enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
