CALLAWAY PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INITIAL OPERATOR LICENSING EXAMINATION 05000483/2016301
CALLAWAY PLANT - NRC EXAMINATION REPORT 05000483/2016301


==Dear Mr. Diya:==
==Dear Mr. Diya:==
In a telephone conversation on November 4, 2015, between Messrs. M. Covey, Operations Manager, and C. Osterholtz, Chief Examiner, arrangements were made for the administration of licensing examinations at the Callaway Plant during the week of May 23, 2016.
On June 1, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an initial operator license examination at Callaway Plant. The enclosed report documents the examination results and licensing decisions. A preliminary debrief was held on May 26, 2016, with Mr. J. Patterson, Director, Nuclear Projects, and other members of your staff. A telephonic exit meeting was conducted on June 7, 2016, with Mr. P. Swan, Operations Supervisor, who was provided the NRC licensing decisions.


As agreed during the telephone conversation, your staff will prepare the examinations based on the guidelines in NUREG-1021, Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors, Revision 10, and NUREG-1122, Knowledge and Abilities Catalog for Nuclear Power Plant Operators, Revision 2, Supplement 1. The NRCs regional office will discuss with your staff any changes that might be necessary before the examinations are administered.
The examination included the evaluation of one applicant for a reactor operator license and seven applicants for instant senior reactor operator licenses. The license examiners determined that all of the applicants satisfied the requirements of 10 CFR Part 55 and the appropriate licenses have been issued. There were no post-examination comments submitted by your staff.


To meet the above schedule, it will be necessary for your staff to furnish the examination outlines by February 22, 2016. The written examinations, operating tests, and supporting reference materials identified in Attachment 3 to ES-201 will be due by March 24, 2016.
No findings were identified during this examination.


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 outlines, examinations, and tests before they are submitted to the NRC for review and approval.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).


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 examinations and reference materials, or the submittal of inadequate or incomplete materials, may cause the examinations to be rescheduled. In addition, your support for on-site validation of the examinations is required during the week of April 18, 2016.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Vincent G. Gaddy, Chief Operations Branch Division of Reactor Safety Docket No. 50-483 License No. NPF-30


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 to 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.
===Enclosure:===
Examination Report 05000483/2016301 w/Attachment: Supplemental Information


To permit timely NRC review and evaluation, your staff should submit preliminary operator and senior 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.
