SUBJECT: REACTOR AND SENIOR REACTOR OPERATOR INITIAL EXAMINATION -

WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT 05000390/2008301

Dear Mr. Campbell:

In a telephone conversation on January 08, 2008, between Mr. Terry Newman, Operations

Training Manager, and Mr. Gerard W. Laska, Senior Operations Examiner, arrangements were

made for the administration of licensing examinations at your Watts Bar Nuclear Plant.

Arrangements were made to administer the written examinations during the week of May 19,

2008, and the operating tests are scheduled to be administered during the week of May 12,

2008. The on-site preparatory week is scheduled for the week of April 21, 2008.

As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff of the will prepare the written

examinations and the operating test based on the guidelines in Revision 9, Supplement 1 of

NUREG-1021, "Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors." The NRC

regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the

examinations are administered.

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

outlines by March 17, 2008. The written examinations, operating tests, and the supporting

reference materials identified in Attachment 2 of ES-201 will be due by March 31, 2008.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.40(b)(3), an authorized representative of the facility licensee shall

approve the outlines, examinations, and tests 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.

TVA 2

In order to conduct the requested written examinations and operating test, 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

(OMB) approval number 3150-0090), medical certifications (OMB approval number 3150-0024),

and waiver requests (if any)(OMB approval number 3150-0090) 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, approval number Part 55 (3150-0018), which expires on June 30,

2009. 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 BJS1@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 not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection

of information 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 will be
